Nita Kettle (laidwell at Gold Hill.
01.. is the only person who has ever
ridden to the summit of Mount 811W
It is a daring and adventurous enough
that to climb “mt to the crest ct snow
capped Shasta. as many tourists who
have undertaken the trip will bear wits
near. but to guide a horse up the rocky
and slippery trails. that'- something
really worth boasting about.
The daring young girl who accom-
plished the climb successfully' is only 15
years old. She made the trip early in
September. Her success is owing chiefly
to her trusty guide. Tom Watson of

known to all ireqoentcrs of the region

about Mount Shasta. Besides Whtson
and Miss Caldwell, G. B. Summer-mun
and Master Charles Mills of tiles-on were
in the party.
The party left Sisson on the 2d of
September, going by way of Squaw
valley and reaching the old Mountain
House at 4 p. m. Jolly Tom Watson
know every step of the way from Sisson
to the summit. For over 15 years he
has been over these roads and trails
dozens of times every summer.
At the old Mountain House all passed
a comfortable night, and the next
zooming they were astir early and off
on the trail by 6 o'clock. They traveled
all that day over rough ridges and up
mountain paths and reached the upper
limit of the timber belt about sunset.
There they camped by a stream of clear
and cold snow water. Every one had a
ravenous appetite, and every one was
tired out. But- lbcy built a rousing
campfire and stood watch by turn to
guard the camp against four footed
night prowlers. It grew frightfully cold'
before morning dawned, and all the
blankets in stock were in great demand.
But all rested well and had woltisb de-
sires ter the cation and ham that fur-
nished their breakfast.
Long before “sun 11p," as every one
in the mountains culls dawn; they were
ugainou their way. up, up, up. There
was snow everywhere, and traveling
over it was not the greatest sport in the
world. Watson guided the party around
the east side of the mountain and
through the deep gap known as Mud
Crock canyon. The air was delightful
and the scenery superb. Watson is a
cheery companion, full of jokes and
quips and turns and stories of mountain
doings. The travelers nearly forgot they
were mountain climbing when suddenly
Lunch rock was at band. This rock is a
massive piece of granite that overhangs
n perpendicular cliff thousands of feet
high. It is a charming spot, with mug-
niiicent glimpses of the great .vullcy
stretched out for below.
~._Afl'cr lunch the journey was resumed.
Houvenwurd the party toiled. Steepcr
and more jagged the rocks became as
the summit drew nearer. Then the ice
licld, fully :1 mile in extent, was crossed,
and beyond ware the hot springs. From
the springs to the summit is only 300
yards, but the incline is the steepest of
the whole trip. Plucky Miss Caldwell
never flinched, although there were
places where 11 single misstep of the
faithful old horse meant death for horse
and rider down deep in the precipitous
canyon thousands of feet below.
This last climb is over what is known
as “the pinnacle.” on which stands the
monument put there by the coast and
geodetic survey 15 years ago. It is a
monument of cut stone and was all car-
ried up the mountain side by Indians.

Mills gave three cheers for the plucky
girl who had beaten all records by rid-

ciate the glory and looked very much as
though he wished he was safe home

Woman and the Love of Admiration.
One of those "emancipated" women
who are said to be abroad in the land,
but who can ’t be distinguished by men
1mm any other women. writes as fol-
lows: -
"Without going into all the dry de-
tails of the relationship of the sexes in
primitive times and among uuoivilized
peoples we may just take the broad facts
which are knoWn to and admitted by
every one. Woman has. of course, sl-
wsye been and always must be man's
physical interim. and in times past she
has been actually it not literally his
slave. She has been the toy and sport of
man. with one. and only one. pheasant
asserting herself.
“This has been the exercise of per-
renal charm. which has enabled, her, to
more la man the passion callous"
and thereby to secure an ,
mm". which is
has
it is mean to cock-10c. admiration sim-
ply for its doll-like qualities. We have
not lost our vanity. though we are no
raiser than men, but we are now alm-
ing at winning admiration in worthler
fielder-namely. in intellectual walks.
"We shall still pride ourselves on our
good looks when we have them. We
shall still do our best to dress well and
tastefully. We shall still look torward
to wifehood and shall not lose our ms-
terocl instincts. but we shall no longer
allow our features and our gowns to
dominate our lives.
“Undoubtedly we are 'cmancipated.’
'All fields of activity are being opened
to us. and the men who now sneer and
gmc at us for our Hucwuess will soon
come to see that we are more compan-
lonable and possess more lasting attrac-
tions than in the days when our faces
were our fortune and when a few wrin-
kles and gray hairs announced the end
of our reign.
“To put my arguments into a nut-
shell, my contention is that the prevail-
ing passion of women has been the love
of admiration because it has become a
hereditary instinct of the race that in
personal charm lies our only power.
Now that we are at last allowed to col-
tivate our intellects and put them to
practical use our bid for power will be
on what I consider higher grounds.”—

Aprons In Holland.
An apton of fine, creamy. hollund,
which you can get just a yard wide and
of which you will only require a single
yard, as the depth of the skirt need not
exceed 27 inches, and your remaining
quarter of material will serve for the
bib, is pretty for house wear. Nothing
could be casim than the manufacture of
the skirt part, which has a fairly wide
born at the bottom and sides and is
gathered somewhat finely at the waist
into the band. By way of trimming,
put at the bottom of the skirt three
bands of fashionable grass lawn You
must choose every cpl n pattern. as
there is to be a running of ribbon be
neath. Stitch those on at intervals of
about 115 inches, starting just that
depth above the bum. Two and a half
yards of lawn, including a strip for the
bib, will be enough, reckoning that
your hands of insertion do not extend
over the wide home on each side.
You must cut away the holland be-
neath the bands afterward, and when it
is tillily hemmed buck insert a bright
cherry colored ribbon, which is drawn
forth at. each cud in 11 smart rosette.
The bib is cut in three points. The cen-
ter point is formed of the lawn, folded
over at the top to pruluoc the triangu-
lnr efl‘cct, and beneath it runs the cher-
ry colored ribbon to match the skirt. A
pretty finish is afforded by the pair of re-
settes on the corners of the bib. These
are made of ribbon of exactly the same
1111c, but only an inch wide. You will
want 11 yard of ribbon for each rosette
and a third of a yard to make the
straps, starting from them and meeting
.in the center of the back. This hollaml
apron, with its lawn insertions and
clu-ert‘ul ribbons, will be a very natty
little garment with which to conceal a

Tight Sleeves In Dinner Bodises.
It is in the French dinner bodiees
that one sees thcquilo tight sleeves, but;
those are generally of lace. mousseline
do. sole or chiffon, ruffled from shoulder
to wrist, showing the arm through their
transparency and being finished at the
urmhulcwith rutlles of lace, chilfou or
ribbon. A fine example is of mauve
mousselinc do sole, accordion plaited
over silk and having tight sleeves of
bruescls lace falling down even over the
wrist in the fashion made noticeable by
b‘uruh Bernhardt. With this was 11 bur-
thu ol‘ brussols lace, double ruffles of tho
mousselinu dc suic over the shoulders,
and the docollutnge was trimmed with
bunches of purple and pink orchids.
This radiant bodice was Worn with a
skirt of mauve and pink shaded moire,
varied on dittorent mwcusinns by a skirt
of white satin or one of black, so that
it quite took the place of three gowns
instead of one.
The. black shirt with alight bodice is.
however, no longer considered the proper
thing for evening wear. unless, indeed,
the wearer is going to a party on the
street cars instead of taking 11 carriage.
For the most part, black skirts should
have black or black and white bodiccs
for evening wear. At any rate. the main
feature should be black. even if bright-
ened by other colors. You can see for
yourselves lmw rational all this is. A
singularly handsome evening bodice
made in black accordion platted chition
over geranium red satin had transparent
tight lilting sleeves of the chiflon to the
wrist. Folds of red velvet and jet pas-
semonteric outlined the decollctage, and

1 Girls Who Attempt Suicide.
A clever doctor has declared that the
only natural death is that caused by old
age. All others are by accident or sui-
cide. Girls who shudder at the thought ,
sf self destruction, who would turn
with loathing from man or woman who
had attempted suicide, are nevertheless
frequently guilty of the same crime.
She who goes out in low shoes in the
raw, cold dayh; who wears thin solos
when the Walks are damp; who, getting
boots or clothing; who in order to wear
a specially becoming gown will put on
underclothing lighter than that to which
she is accustomed, is just as surely guilty
of attempted suicide as if she took poison
or jumped into the river. “Nothing
hurts me” cannot be said truthfully by,
any one, no matter how robust. The
fact that confirmed invalids often out-
live members of their families who have
always cujoyctlpcrfect health is well
known and is readily accounted for by
the care which invalids take of them-
selves.
Cort 11in chronic diseases are said to
prolong life because they tend to make
the sufferers abstain from customary
follies. Perhaps the most reckless of all
persons are those 1v he have every reason
to think thait they may some day have
an extent that they regard every cold
taken as a matter of course and feel that
sooner or later the curse will develop.
This is worse than fully, for‘it is held
by many scientists that disease itself is
not hereditary, only the tendency to
disease. There fore the seeds of consump-
tion are sewn by the victims themselves,
not by their ancestors. The distinction
is one that should be impressed upon all
who believe “there is consumption in
the family. "—Brooklyn Eagle.
