EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
EQMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
Next to the horrible uncertainty that
a mother must feel concerning the fate
III a kidnapped child it seems to us
that the keenest pangs of hope deferred,
of anxious watching and of eager long-
ing must fall to the lot of the explorer’s
or gold seeker’s wife, who, with never
a word from the vast silence of the
frozen North, waits and watches, rely-
ring on the parting injunction of the
wanderer, who said: “I will be back.
Dolnot begin to worry.”
How easy that is to say, as, in the
moment of eager anticipation, flushed
withhthe hope ofga success .that will
meanuworld-wide renown, the husband
goes fortii' to death perhaps, but to
meet thatdeath through a series of
adventures that at least keep. his body
active-LLB brain awa‘kefully employed.
But fer the wife there is nothing to
do but-t0 wait; letters may come, and‘
they may not; communicationthrough '
third parties may give her hope or.
member anxiety. ,
I‘lié ddysdragil'istlessly by, her eyes
get'a strained look, her nerves grow
supersensitive, a strange step causes
bannheart to almost stand still, and in
the dead..watnhes 'Of the night she lies
awake and wonders—that is all that ex~
ploratior mea'nsi’tbi' her", a Continual
query—life cb‘i‘iciéii‘trate‘d into the form
ofan interrogation mark. - -
leiife‘well? -_ Where is be?
some back? 3Hour by hour and minute
by minutethe questions rise and mon-
opolize all other thoughts. Home in-
terests have no charm, society no pleas--
arable quality. . . -- _,
Such an existence is torture that
martyrs at the stake. could not con-
ceive, and While we know. that expedi-
tions. will be fitted out andscience feel
unsatisfied until certain discoveries are
made, it seems from our woman’s stand-
point that there shguld be a law pre-
venting the marrrie‘dh'men from embark-
ing on these perilous undertakings.
Imagine the sut‘t‘ering'of the wife
when the allotted time for her hus-
band’s return passes and still he does
notcome. The days drag into months,
the menths’perhaps into years, and,
while feeling from all common-sense
reasoning that she is widowed. a hope
.fifiirzrsalways that he may yet return.
When we bury our loved ones and
see the grave close over them forever
grief seems at its height, but in time
the pain grows less, until at last they
become to us but beautiful visions. ,But
the wife of the gold-seeker who is re-
ported dead never feels time’s healing
hand laid gently on her bleeding heart.
She is tortured daily by the thought
that somewhere perhaps he still lives,
may need her help, may be longing for
the home he cannot reach. No one
need envy the glory that Comes to
those whose loved ones return. The
suffering endured before this joyful
termination more than counterbalances
'm‘y’ worldly emolument that may con-
sequently ensue. ’ '

—~Everybody Talks of the Klondike.
With the approach of Spring and. the
opening days of navigation and trans-
portation in Alaska, the interest in the
wonderful gold mines of the Klondike
is increasing. Those of our readers
who contemplate the long journey,
' should ‘put themselves into communica-
tion promptly with The Joseph Ladue
Gold Mining and Development Com-
pany of Yukon. This Company, which
has been organized by some of the
most prominent financiers of New York,
runs its line of steamers to Dawson
City via St. Michaels. . It actually owns
some of the most valuable placer and
quartz mines in the Klondike. The
attention of our readers is called to a
tatement of the Company printed in
his issue.
