'No,"" said Miss Stansfield,
giving the whip lash a gentle
whirl towards the leader's flanks
"that sort of thing is quite me
dieval!" "But people still marry,"
persisted the young man in the
fawn colored Newmarket.
. ."If it were not for the old
fogies it would scarcely be worth
while being modern.'"'
. "You will, bring the world to
a standstill."
"Impossible! You men have
done that long ago. Besides,
there are not so many of us real

imbecility of the majority."
4 4 What beastly rot ! " The
young mhn did not make this
remark aloud; but he thought
it with great -emphasis. , To
think that this once so charm
ing girl should have allowed a
ridiculous notion of this sort to
supplant her common sense !
To think that his happiness was
at the mercv of a f ad ! :
"May I light a ciirar?" he
asked presently.
"Of course. Never' ask me
that ! Perfect equality is our the
ory of intercourse'-.' '
"Thank you."
"Not at all.' And would vou
mind lighting me a cigarette?
l ou 11 find the case in my left
hand pocket. Just reach in
thanks! This wheeler is mis-
behaving so that I can't take a
hand oft' the lines."
"Here you are !"
She opeiied the red lips so as
to show the twin rows of white
and eveii teeth for a moinent-
enough to let him deftly slip
the lighted cigarette between.
"And so, he resumed, "your
idea is perfect equality? Won't
you explain? . -
"What. is there to explain?
You never explain how you and
the other men at your club get
on, do you?" .
" 'M no, it never, occurred
to me. .
"Well, that's just it ; we're
to be on the same basis ; it's' all
to be a matter of course."
Mr. Wendell Whitburn smoked
in silence for a while, a pensive
expression resting in his eyes.
They w ent bowling along over
the crisp brown leaves . that
strewed, the highway, the Hoofs
of the horses and the wheels of
the dog-cart rousing the ruddy
sea into little eddies. .
Phillips, the tiger, who was
guilty of twisting his neck a lit
tle to discover, if possible by
ocular 6bservations, the reason
of the silence on the front seat,
saw a sudden smile flash along
Mr. Whitburn's lips.
"Queer card, 'e is !" thought
the tiger-to himself, being only
a curiosity the more. ,
Mr. Whitburn broke the si
lence. "Here," he, said, hold
ing out a small leathern etui,
"Have one of mine. That's a
beastly weed you have !"
Miss Stansfield took her large,
gray eyes' from observation of
the highway, as it glimpsed be
tween the leaper's ears, and fixed
them upon her companion in a
stare of astonishment.
"I beg your pardon?" she
remarked with haughtiness no
ticeable in her tone.
Don't mention it: I fancy I
can stand that smoke if you can.
But you - really ought to ...com
pi ai n at 3-011 1 club: Nobody bu t
newsboys and chorus girls ever
smoke that brand. By the way
see that blonde filly of Senator
Markltam's at the club dance
last night? Showy, don't you
think?"
"Sir?" Miss Stansfield could
feel that she was blushing.
Something seemed to be making
her nervous ; the horses grew
restless under her hands. r
"I never eouid see,, you
know , ' ' he went on , " why Miss
Markham doesn't get married.
Although they tell me she's been
too sw:ift a runner to go well in
harness. Better have the tiger
to go to his head, hadn't you?"
The leader, prancing 'and pi
rouetting, had got his hind feet
on the wrong side of the traces
and was at right angles to the
shafts. There was a deal of
trouble before the journey could
be resumed.
"You're not in very good form
today," Whitburn went on calm
ly : "better let me take the irib-
bons." ;V
There were tears of rage in her
gray eyes, but she said, ' 'No,
thank you," with only the least
possible emotion noticeable.
"Oh, all right, but it's beast
ly obstinancy on your? part.
Your wrists are shaky as aspens,
arid I think your muscles njust
be rather flabby. Not been
lushing lately, have you ?"
.; She turned to him with her
eyes flashing, in spite of their
spite of their veils of wet.
"I think you're a brute,"
she said. Then she burst into
tears, and Whitburn found him
self witji his arm around lier.
"Phillips," he said, in a tone
of authority, "go and hold
their heads !
"Yes, "lie went on softly to
the tear . wet eyes against, his
coat, "I'm a brute. Most men
are. And vou're a woman'
dear:' the woman, I love: and T
love vou far too much to treat
an equal. I want to treat you
much better than that. Will
you let me?"
She dried her eyes, and push
ing him away from her, looked
at him with a smile that was
wavering between the joy of
surprise and the sadness of de
feat. "But I was to be one of
the New Women !"
"Yes, dear ; and you always
will be to me. I shall always
findiew charms in you. But
do you think you'd like to ! be
treated just as a man?" i
She shuddered, in remem
brance, j
"No? We, then, I'll treat
you as a woman.
He kissed her. CiirioUsly
enough, she found herself wish
ing that her lips had been void
of the cigarette taint.
Isn't that better?-' he laugh
ed.
She smiled at him and
adjusted her veil.
Phillips climbed back; to
re-
his
seat ; the horses broke into a
sharp trot, and in the -smoky
haze of the coming evening the
club house roof dipped into
sight.
Presently she said, "But do
you really talk that way to one
another?"
lie laughed. . " 'M, no. Only
the New Men dp that !"
' 'Then you deceived me ; you
trapped me." j
No. I sketched the truth,

Would not you rather have had

"Well -yes," she- sighed.
' After all, I'm only a woman."
"No, sweetheart, it is I; I
that am only a man. But I had
to give you back the pedestal

DOG DAYS.
1
- ' -V
About Ancient Superstition.
Modern science is taking long
strides away from ancient su
perstition, as everybody knows ;
but old-fashioned almanacs still
soberly register the appearance
of the dog days. According to
these oracles the season for this
year began on Sunday.
In ancient times these canicu
lar days, as f. they were then
called; always occurred during
the forty days between- July 3
and August 11.
The Thebans regulated their
year according to the rising df
Sinus, the largest star in. the
constellation of Canis Maiir.
and the one commonly .called
the Dog Star. Since it rose
during the hottest part of the
year, and domestic dogs seemed
inclined towards madness dur-
and August, it was
longthe custom to muzzle all
pets for a certain number of
days, and stray waritierers were
rigorously taken to the pound
by .vigilant policemen.
The Egyj)tians watched with
painful interest the rising of
the Dog Star, as it foretold for
them the risiniz of the Nile or
the coming of drought and pes
tilence. Their canicular days
extended from August 4 to Sep
tember 14, but. as time slipped
away. and the precession , of the
equinoxes' changed the time for
the rising and setting of the sig
nificant star wise heads began
to hint that there was no con
nection .-whatever between Sirius
and the intense heat that came
with its annual fervor.
Here and there an astronomer
would say that it was only a
question of time until Sirius
would ri,se in midwinter, and so
its baleful light has grown less
and less threatening with the
years, until even tiie generally
public. has forgotten dog days
for all sorts of
imaginable
ills.
Nevertheless the name is still
convenient for the 20 days be
fore and after, the middle of Ju
ly, and although wre admit that
the old Danish proverb is right
("man makes the almanac, but
God makes the weather) , we
know, too, that our owh . terse
dictum is not far from wrong
when it says : "Ne'er trust a July
dog." :
The old English rhyme puts
its caution very prettily as it
sings :
The dews of the evening
Industriously shun:
They're the tars of the sky
J t or the loss of the sun.
And all malarial germs are
known to thrive after their ovvn
astonishing fashion during the
month -when the Dog Star still
glows redly in the day.
However, there are. compen
sations. It is the time for Mod

Goldhimters Have Hard Times.
.laska's Winter Weather
"Averages 23 Degrees
Below Zero.
v The stories of fabulous finds
of gold in Alaska are attracting
the attention of the world to
that section iust now. It so
happens that the richest gold
deposits thus far found are on
British soil. There is no ques
tion ;about that and the Klon
dyke placer mines are over the
line on the British side and not
really in Alaska. Some Atlan
tians are talking about going to
the gold fields.
The journey is long, and ex
pensive and perilous. No one
ought to start on less than $500
to pay for transportation and
tjie outfit which is required to
get to the - gold district, -and
then one must live after getting
tj) the diggings. The present
excitement mildly reminds old
timers of the California fever
back in the days of forty-nine..
The best way to reach the gold
field is to go first to Seattle,
then take a steamer up to Ju
neau. This part of the trip is
pleasant. From Juneau " .the
best route is by a small steamer
to Chilcoot Pass. Leaving that
point, tlie journey has' to be
made oil foot across country to
Lake Bennett. The dutfit must
be packed. This is done by In
dians, who charge a good figure
for the work. At Lake Bennett
the traveler makes himself a
rpugh boat or buys one if he can
ta reach Lewis river. Several
portages have to be made and it
is laborious dragging the boat
overland. The Lewis river is
followed down to the Yukon
and then it is still several days'
journey to Klondyke and Sixty
Mile creek. The principal
place for buying more supplies
is Circle City or Forty Mile
creek. This trip isj made by
going across country and sail
ing down the Yukon. -""That is
altogether a distance of 1,000
miles. There is another route
around by the mouth of the
Yukon and thence up the river,
but that is 3,000 miles from
Seattle and would take all sum
mer to make the trip.
I There are only three good
yorking months iii the placer
mines. Right now the temper
ature averages 23 degrees below
zero. In the spring it is recon
el a balmy, pleasant day when
the mercury gets up to 14 de
grees above zero. In midsum
mer the ground thaws for a
depth of three or four feet, but
it' never does thaw out altogeth
er. The miner has to burni
wood on the ground to. soften it
enough to dig a hole down
twenty feet to the gravel. The
pay gravel lies on the bed rock
of the old stream and is froin
two to four feet thick. It is re
norted that this travel will

keepers give no credit, not even
to a starving man. Day wages
are high, $10 and upward.
The Yukon is one of the lar
gest streams in the
world, but
its mouth is so shallow that
larjje vessels cannot ascend.
Alaska is nine times as large
as New England. The United
States bought it of Russia in
1867 for half a cent an acre.
In the richest camps there is
not a foot of ground to be bought;
except at a big price. A man
who is in the district writes from
Dawson, saying in the course

Youne Girl's Liberty.
Years are a Woman's Puotkc
tiox, and Youth is a Time
of
Danger.
The libertv and, freedom of
action allowed; young girls of
to-day is the subject of a forci
ble, editorial by Edward W.
Bok in the August Ladies' Home
Journal. "That everything in
life is "tending to make people
freer in thought and action is
undoubtedly true, and it is a
healthful tendency in the main
healthful for people of years,
and self-control," writes Mr.
Bok. "But no advantage is
without its disadvantages. The
freer our lives become along
healthful and safe lines the heal
thier will our minds become.
But before we can safely profit
by these advantages wo., must
have lived long enough to know
how to use them and to under
stand what phases of them to
disregard. Becauso women are
freer to travel alone than ever .
before, it does not necessarily
follow that it is wise and right
that young girls should be per
mitted to travel alone. Here
comes the truth of the proverb
that "what's one man's. poison
is another's meat." The time
was when a woman could-not,
with self-respect, go to a place
of entertainment unattended.
Now she can. But that does
not make it right for a girl to do
so. The chaperon is none the
less indispensable to girls to-day
tlian sue was tnirty years ago.
She is really more necessary,
for..-, as things become more and
more possible for women, they
should become more impossible
for girls. This may sound hard
and severe, but young girls
must remember that a woman's
years are her protection, where
as a girl s lack of year,s is her
danger. The very aim and pur
pose of the present tendency for
oman s greater freedom will .
be defeated if we allow it to
guide the actions of our girls.
Tlie danger- to immaturity al-
wars oecomes greater as tne
danger to maturity grows less.
This. we should never overlook.
It is a blessed change that
things are safely possible to
women which were absolutely
i m pos s i hi e a f e w y e a r s ago . But
progress is dangerous as well as
healthful. If parents interpret
the present changing conditions
by allowing greater freedom to
their daughters they will make
a very sad mistake."

mor. It is said to have .no
foundation whatever.. Mr.
Jackson is yet alive and un
harmed. Mormon Elders have
invaded his neighborhood recent
ly and done some proselyting,
and incidentally he has had
some animated discussions with
them, but no'violence has been
offered on the part of either
side. While tlie Mormon reli-
gion is regarded in this country
iy, spurious and vicious md is
extremelv obieetionable to the
intelligent element of our peo
ple, yet this rumor if generally
accepted as true would probably
pluse undue violence to be done
the Mormon missionaries, in gen
eral who are sojourning in this
State. Instead of having their
present opportunity of depart
ing into their own country ex
tended they might be seized up
on by an enraged populace and
divided into more parts than
ijaul was. Clinton Democrat.
The item published in these
column last week in regard to
the same matter is also fals-e.
The party who dropped it into
our news box, either knew it
was false or a floating rumor.
We shall publish no more items
unless accompained by the name
