Many boys and young men of these

about the old time boo'j i.'ks have

the abandonment of die wearing of
boots by men and boy> (he bootjack

especially in the winters, the man or
boy who wore anything lmt boots was
rare and the boo:jack was a necessary
article in every hou- e.
Boots were worn without rubbers,
and frequently to keep out the snow
and the slush they were treated to an
application of mutton tallow or some
other greasy subs! uce, but the>;e ap

GIRL BHIDE JLO MAKE
HOME IX YUKON' WILDERNESS
Tiio following is taken from the
San Francisco Examiner of recent
date:
Retuinine to the laud of gold and
ice, where her father laid the
l'ouudation of his wealth he grub
bed as a "sour dough,'" Mrs. Crys
tal McQuesten Mann, bride of a
few months is on her way to Al
aska, where she will make her
home with her hU3band, there to
wrest a fortune from the soil and
to educato the people of her tribe.
Few outside of the circle of imme
diate friends knew that the mother
of comely Crystal McQuesten, tal
ented musician, student of the
Berkeley high school, and nurse in
the Fabiola hospital In Oakland, was
a member of tho Kokrine tribe of |
Alaskan Indians, who accompanied
tho late Leroy Napoleon McQuesten
to Berkeley after ho bad spent
years in the wilds of the northern
country with millionaire Howard H.
Hart and others whose placers bore
large returns.
Shortly after her marriage to
Mann the Berkeley girl, just out of
her teens, decided that she would
repair to her forme.* home in the
Land of tho Midnight Sun for the
uplift of her people. She will brave
tho cold of the icy blasts in the
Yukon country back of Dawson, hunt
her own venison and other game,
live the primitve life, mingling
villi the people of her tdbe while
her husband works hla mines.
The ukulele, the Hawaiian gui
! ar, Is part of the camp equipment
of the Berkeley girl, and the
frozen north will hear "or the first
time chords from tho South sea in
strument. Mrs. Mann is an accom
plished musician and hopes to inter
est the people of her mother's tribe
in the music of modern civilization.

Painesville, O., July 15—If the

THE FORTUNE TELLER
A gypsy maiden, strangely wise,
with dusky; hair and midnight eyes,
my future life unveiled; she said
she'd reud the llne3 of fate for
many another trustiug skate, and
never yet had failed. She was a
maid of savage charms, great braz
en rings were on her arms, and
she had strings of beads; with
trinkets she was loaded down,
the noisy colors of her gown
recalled no widow's weeds, she
told mo I would live to bo, as
rich as Andy or John D., my
dreams would all come true; I'd
have a palace on a bill, and
vassals near to do my will, a
yacht to sail the blue. And soon
her nimble fingers, ne'er at
rest, got closer to my checker
ed vest, and lifted seven bones.
She touched me for my meager
roll, that poor misgJided, heathen
bouI, but still her victim smiles;
she gave me dreams for half a day
and took me with her to Cathay
and the enchanted isles. Her
glamour caused me to forgot, a lit
tle while the strife and sweat, the
city's bricks and stones; she took
my toll worn soul abroad, and she
la welcome to my wad, I still have
seven hones.—WALT MASON.
