A Pretty Tribute
to Nellie Cashman
The Fairbanks News-Miner says the
«0»a io “Our Towl" who knew Nelli*
'Caabman the longest is it. C. Wood.
Asked for recollections of her piooeer
iioc. be said:
•'Tb# tirst recollection of Nelli* was
iin the rough davs of Tombstone, Ari
zona. She stampeded there from Col
orado. following: the nows of the strike
<of the rich silver mines of the Grand
''Central and Tuughnut and the big
<eopp«r strike at the Copper Queen, at
Bisbee. When the news of the rich
tied is the Transvaal reached Arizona,
Hellie waa one of the first to leave, and
for many years she prospected ia the
Itaod district. Always eager for tha
'fascinating scenes of a gold rush, she
.joined tha stampede to the Klondike io
*t8. Laver en the CttWie to Pah-banka,
and finallv decided 'that the Koyukuk
offered the greatest possibilities for
lhar‘home stake.’ She bad been pros
pecting in that district for the past 15
jaars. Just what success her efforts
there have been will nrobablv never be
%ae«D, for with her death perhaps
'there will be no one with the same un
daunted faith to carry on her work to
oooclusioo. Just what success she has
’had I do not know. I have met her
-almost every year on the treks from
'the Koyukuk, and when I would ask
iher how she was getting along she
<wou!d say that she surelv would be in
the big money’next year. Those trips
ibaek and forth were long, hard trips,
.jet she seemed never to become a bit

discouraged nor to grow anv older. She
was 78 years old, a typical pioneer, and
a stampede to ber was real life. She
lored the frontier, but from our many
conversations I have never been able
to decide whether it was ber ultimate
hope of finding a gold mine that took
her to the ends of the earth, or whether
it was her great desire to help some
one, for she seemed to have a knack ol
finding persons in distress, and if they
were broke she gave them a new start,
or nursed them when they were sick.
To turn awav when her assistance wan
needed never entered her mind. It
was always, ’How ve gettiog along,
young feller? What can I do fer yet ?
Hers was a wonderful character, and
God broke the mold after Nellie was
made. Regardless of the circum
stances which surrounded her, whether
it was on a stampede in Alaska or in
the lobby of the Faitmont, she was al
ways Nellie and possessed of that won
derful personality that commanded re
spect and admiration.
“She was a devout Catholic, and her
love for her church. the sisters and
their work was second cniy to her love
for Alaska and the soureoughs.
**A monument erected somewhere
along the trail, I am sure, would not
be out of place, for not many men and
but few women have ‘pioneered’ like
her. If good deeds and a noble life
win heaven, I am sure Nellie is there."
Partnership Formula
for Happy Marriages
Chicago.—The increase in divorce is
Tie wed as a sign of progress by Judge
Joseph Sabbath, jurist, who has pre
sided orer the bearing of ten thousand
disoroe cases, but who refuses to grant
a legal separation until ail efforts at
reconciliation hare failed.
“The large number ef divorces is a
manifestation of progress rather than
retrogression," Judge Sabbath declared
in aa address before the alumni of a
Michigan university. “It is one <rf the
natural incidents attending the eman
cipation of woman. The wife no longer
is a chottel, but a free human being,
living and acting on terms of equality
with her husband.
“When the equal partnership be
comes impossible it is natural aud just
that she should seek relief by dissolu
tion of the marriage vows."
Judge Sabbath excludes from bis
philosophy of success in the marriage
venture the possibility of wife and hus
band preserving their individualities,
but includes early marriage and chil
dren as the most certain elements to
preserve the union.
Here is Judge Sabbath’s advice to
husbands:
•'Make your wife a real partner and
dUcuss your business problems wiib
ber. Give her your confidence. Avoid
the interference of relatives. Supply
her with enough money to maintaia the
household without too much skimping
Have children or adopt some. Work
together, plav together, and grow up
together.”
His advice to the wife follows:
“Assert enough independence to
make your husband notice it. Do not
be afraid to soil your hands. Make
your husband assume more responsi
bility for the home life than merely
financing it. Never flirt to tease your
husband; he wadts to be the one man
in your life more than anything else,
end to flirt ia to stir a tire that may
consume both. Do not be afraid of
motherhood.”
Judge Sabbath sums up the formula
for happy marriages in the one wo d,
"Partnership.”
