WINNING A F FARM.” The Modest Glrl wm, Drew a Lucky Numbe: “No, I don’t think I shall bury my- self on a farm for five years,” said Miss Gertrude M. Wippel, the stenog- rapher of the North American Acci- dent Insurance company, in the Cen- tral building, who drew number 1823 in the Coeur d'Alene land opening. “I never thought I'd draw a number. A bunch of us were passing through there on our vacation.and we thought we'd take a chance. Yet I don’t know —you never can tell—and I may decide to hike for the country some day— no, not yet, little old Seattle is good enough for me. I have been a stenog- rapher for almost four years, mostly with the Big Four railroad, and all I know about farming is that potatoes grow somewhere on a vine, do they? I was born in Cincinnati twenty short years ago and was reared there with my four brothers and four sisters. I'm th= ninth one, the baby of the family. Yes, 'm all alone in Seattie, thou- sands of mile away from home and mother. But I'm very independent— I have a roving disposition—it's the fault of my temperament. Brunettes are always bold and capable of taking care of ' themselve: I'm a brunette, I should say by way of parenthesis. I don't want anything said about me. Please keep my name out of the paper, and my picture—no, I e¢an’t permit that. Well, if—all right—I'll let them take my picture,” and Miss Wippel took a last pat at her hair and sat for the photographer.—Seattle Post-Intelli- | gencer. Less to Laugh At.

The isolaeness of the few great minds of each gen- eration of men is utterly undreamed of, for want of undergtanding by those about, them. Yet tfink what it is to pase one's days in a thought-world where the thinker roams alme: to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary compre- ‘hension, and the solution appreciated only in years fo come; to contempiate in lonely ecstacy, after still lonelier despair, the revelation that cames with months and more of pondering. When some one asked Newton how he came to make his wonderful discoveries, he replied: “Simply by alwawys thinking about them.” Ceonsider Kepler toiling year after year fruitlessly for some ratio that would link the planet's mo- tions by a general law, calculating as- siduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as ge found it would not work, until at last, after almost in- concelvable toil he hit upon the one that would. As if this longliness by nature were not enough, it must needs be accentuated by man. For he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridic- ulously absurd. Think yon the denun- clations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he is dead?
