ST. Mary Chapter A.
R. {. To Ask For
Maintenance Funds
Reports Of Committees Made
AT Executive Session | n
Patterson Thursday

The Executive Committee Of the st.
Mary Chapter A. r. c. at Patterson
Thursday passed upon a most important
phase of the Red Cross work-the sup
plying Of. funds for work-room, canteen
committee and civilian relief branches of
the work to be done: AT this time the
Chapter is using about $500.o0 per
month in the carrying on OF its pro-
grams and it is anticipated that $l9oo
per month will be needed within short
time. There is on hand about $2O0O OF
CHAPTER funds. Under present condl-
tions the balance on hand will keep
the work rooms going for about three
months, but the indications are the vol
ume of work will be greatly increased
because of the increasing numbers and
growing efficiency Of the workers.
Funds must also be available for other
lines of the work. To supply its future
needs the Executive Committee dis.
cussed plans of raising money on fixed
income basis and a committee comprising
of Mr.. H. S. Nordyke, Mr.. c. D. Kemp
er and Judge W. C. Baker was appoint
ed to decide upon some plan of financing
the Chapter.
The committee reports at the Thursday
meeting brought out prominently the
importance of the work now being car
ried on in the St. Mary Chapter by Miss
Bernice Williams Of Morgan City q In
structor Of workroom Supervisors. A
result of Miss William 3 teaching the

Large Crowd Attended Dry
Rally

The 'Patrotic Dry Rally neld last
night in the City Hall was greeted by a
large audience. The meeting was held
under the auspices Of the Anti Saloon
League Of America. The speaker OF
the evening, G. NJ. Hammond Of Tenn
cssec was sent here by the League. The

One Of the selections was "Louisiana

Hood presided as chairman of the meet
ing and introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Hammond called the attention
of the audience to statement made by
Lloyd George of England, about two
years ago. According to Mr.. Ham
mond, Mr.. George said that England
possessed three enemies: Germany, Aus

the most powerful and dangerous Of the
other two combined was The Liquor
Traffic. That Great Britain would
have to settle with this her greatest en-
envy before she could settle with Germany.
Mr. Hammond noted that to date Eng
land had not settled with The Liquor
Traffic neither had Germany yet been
subdued.
Mr.. Hammond gave some statistics re-

by state legislatures relative to state rat

; The remaining one did not turn it down
but adjourned before it was brought
before them.

not possess a dry amendment in their

Dawson, Nome, Fairbanks. Furs and
fish have done their part in opening up
this great territory but gold has been
the magic word which has unlocked the
ice-bound doors to the world. Dawson,
the goal of the first great rush, is, of
course, in Canadian territory, but the
principal portals to the Klondike were
the White Horse and Chillloot passes
and the Yukon river. This naturally led
to the sudden growth of Skaguay, the
stimulation of the other towns of the
southeast and to the establishment of
steamer service upon the Yukon. OF
even greater Importance to Alaska were
the hundreds of disappointed adventur-
ers who found the choice claims near
Dawson already pre-empted and who be-
gan to prospect far and wide through
out Alaska for similar evidences of gold.
Then came the two rushes to Nome
which peopled the hitherto barren Sew
ard peninsula and finally the rush to

Thus the summer passed, then the
fall; and then one evening in December
she met Harry Thornton at an informal
gathering of friends. Something in each
attracted the other and they spent the
remainder of the evening together. She
learned that he was a graduate of
medical school and by dint of great
deal of hard work was slowly but surely
building UP a practice for himself OF
her he learned very little, save that she
had gone to several finishing schools and
was now doing a little of everything,
but not much of anything. Something
in her manner, however, told him she
was not happy. and he made up his mind
to find out why, for he felt strangely
drawn to her. Of course, he escorted
her home, and at the door he asked per
mission to call. Annette smiled.

Strangely enough veteran miners have
played little part in the four great gold
discoveries of the north. The Klondike
riches, as we have already narrated,
were uncovered bya squaw-man who
caught fish for a livelihood before his
lucky adventure in~Bonanza Creek; the
glittering creeks behind Nome were
found by three Scandinavians, only one
of whom had been miner, the two 9th

on the creek which bears his name The
news was at first kept secret among
dozen prospectors, but was finally car
ried to Dawson by a Japanese cook who
tried to get capital there to start work
on some claims. About 300 of the worst
characters in the British city foated
down the Yukon and up the Tanana to
Fairbanks, but most of them turned
their backs on the settlement when they
found but little gold and none of the
opportunities for debauchery which usu-
ally herald the opening of mining
camp The first prospectors were per-
sistent and were well rewarded. In
1908 the population of Fairbanks was
about 800 and only about $4,000 worth
of gold was taken out, the next year
5000 people were On the ground and the
gold output had increased ten-fold, by
1906 the population was 5000 and the
gold amounted to over 100000.

concessions to build docks and store

those women who are afraid

to praise their own children
lest they become too self-centered. Sc
she went to the other extreme, and
every day found another excuse for
telling her only daughter that she was
failure and that no amount oe teach
ing would ever bring her anywhere in
the world. And Annette was no mind
reader, therefore she could not know
that her mother meant just the other
way. And SO, early in life, she began to
turn from her mother and to go to her
father for words of commentator and
approval. And in him she found the
praise she sought for a task well
done, though Mr.. Collins was far too
busy to be as "chuminy' as some fathers
are But as Annette grew into girlhood
and then into womanhood she found
that the parental affection which should
have been equally distributed between
the two was given to her fathef, whilst
toward her mother she felt only filia
regard.
And so things went on until in her
twenty-second year, Annette experienced
the FIRST great sorrow of her life. The
father whom she loved SO dearly ay,
so passionately-closed his eyes and
drifted into the valley from which there
is no return, leaving heart-broken
widow and crushed and lonely child.
Then it was that the bereaved wom-
an turned to her daughter for the love
and sympathy that she had never tried
to win. For while she chung to her
child as to the only one left to remind
her of the husband she had lost. An
nette felt the change in her mother and
something stirred in her heart and she
longed to give her the affection she
sought She might have succeeded In
time, but the old habits began to assert
themselves and her mother began slowly
but surely to withdraw into the shell
from which she had for time emerged
Then that which had stirred in the
depths of Annette's heart gave up its
feeble struggle for existence and ex-
PRED. leaving only dull ache
So the lonely girl was gradually wean-
ed away from her mothers company
and made friends in whose more congo
NAL companionship she found under
standing and appreciation.
So this poor, untaught daughter OF
Eve grew to hate herself and to despise
her mother for having made life, such
burden to her. At night, in the seclu-
sion of her room, she would sit by the
window and cry out her heart in silent
agony.
"Oh, Father" she would moan. why
