Run on Business Basis.

In fact. from what she told Jane,
judge that her little establishment is run
on systematic and thoroughly business
like basis. She knows what everything
costs and doesn't spend penny a sec

turns.

Lewis. after having heard her story.
looked at her with new interest. She is
bright and cheerful. hasn't allowed her
self to grow frowsy in appearance, and
though she is about the busiest woman

of enjoyment out of life.
Her success has been of vast encoura gee
ment to me. and it seems her experience
ought to interest hundreds of women who
are. or may be- similarly placed. 1t is
plain to see there are two main contrib
uting causes TO her success One is sound
common sense and the other is hard work

which any womar might well quail, but
it is wholesome. health-g giving work. and

SEATTLE GIRL
 WEDS |. B. BROWN
Browns Son Married at knik on the Steamer Sampson.

At 4:30 a. m. on May 26 the we'd ding of Miss Maurita Campbell, of Seattle. and MT. Harry Brown, of Knik, was solemnized on board the S. s. Sampson. The ceremony was beautiful in it's simplicity and not a hitch occurred to spoil the effect, says the Ocean Wireless News pub lished on the steamer Sampson. The bride was attended by Miss Nelle Constance Shea. of Seattle, while Col. Wilds P. Richardson ac- companied the groom to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, as rendered by Miss White. and MT. Geo. Dang; Major Everett Griggs sang the beautiful words, 70, Promise Me" !" and Dr. Leopold David read the mar riage ceremony.
 The ceremony was soon over and as the happy couple were receiving the congratulations of their many friends, MT. o. D. Fisher, with a few we'll chosen remarks, presented the bride with a present of one hundred dol lars from a few of the many friends that she had made during the voy- age of the Sampson from Seattle. Mr. Fisher also presented the couple with barrel of Fishers Blend Flour with which to commence housekeep- ing.
 After receiving the congratulations of the entire ships company the brid- al party left for Knik, where they will make their home in future. MT. Brown is U. s. deputy marshal for this district with headquarters at Knik. The bride was charming in going-away gown of simple grey ma terial, with just suggestion of en- erald at the corsage and carried bouquet of carnations.
 As soon as the newly weds had been given time to arrive at their Knik home, party was made up on board to go to Knik and serenade them, but they delayed too long and were forced to put back after strik- ing the mud flats about three miles out.
 The Sampson is fast getting a rep utation as a bride-carrier. On the next trip, north bound, Captain Moore will again officiate as Cupid, when he brings north Miss Clara Gunder- son, who will take as husband one w. E. Howard, of Knik.
