Laura itolcomb laughed , "When i hear
that word , " said she , " 'stingy , ' I think of
Kate Stilwell ; and I guess I always shall , "
"Ono of the girls nt Chase hail ? " nand
Sle11a Ward , Chase hall was rho distant
boarding school , which Laura Ilnlcomb attended -
tended , and from which she had just come
home for the summer ,
"Yes , The stingiest girl there ; or that
was what wo called her , " said Laura smiling
a little.
"Tell about it , " said Nasky Purcell.
"Well , ICato was a freshman last fall , "
Laura began , "She came from Slawley , an
from
another girl came at the same time
the same place-I'hoebo Williams , We
didn't think muchn about I'hoehe Williams ,
somehow , Slto was a nice girl , but she was
quiet and rather plain , and she didn't care
anything about clothes , and she studied all
the time , she just dug ! and so , you see , she
wasn't exactly popular.
"But ICato Stilwell was , Site wan one of
the girls ( lint are hound to he. She was
pretty and smart ; she was the kind of girl
that can do things-anything-'tad before
we knew it she teas on two or three of the
freshman class committees and vice president -
dent of tim music club-she played splen-
didly-and subeditor of rho Chase flail
I Record , and no freshman had ever been that
before. And she didn't try for anything ,
either , she didn't push herself. There was
something real sweet about Kate Stilwell
' and we all likeil her ,
"Or we nil did for avhlle ; but one ( lay
Sara Becker and Louise Northrop and I
were speaking about her.
She's one of the brightest girls fn
school , of course , ' said Louise ; 'but do you
know what I think ? 1 think she's the
stingiest , too , '
" 'I believe It' sold Sara Decker. 'I've
noticed it. You know the music club Is going -
ing to buy a bust of Liszt for the music
room ? Well , ] Cato Stilwell hasn't subscribed -
scribed a cent , for all she's vice president ,
and I don't think shin means to , either. The
contributions are voluntary , of course , but
don't you think she's rather mean ? '
" 'Of course ; said Louise , ' and I thought
shin wan rather mean the other day , too.
Molly Orr was going to throw away a wicker
table shed had in her room till nhe'd got
tired of it , and Kate Stilwell offered her 25
cents for it , and look It. The Ideal Why
diin't she buy n new one ? She lutist have
plenty of money ; why , look at her dresses ;
they're lovely , '
" 'That's the funny part of it. She's front

with him :
-"Why , then , it's a sort of mania , her befog -

" 1 tried to stand up for her some , but I
couldn't say much , for , you know , I'd seen

French history for dear llfe , and the stayed
' a minute , and Lnulse led up to the subject
of Kate Stilwell Purposely. "What's her
father's name ? ' said she.
" 'Milo ; said Phoebe.
" 'lie owns time paper mills In Ilawley ,
doesn't he ? ' sald Louise.
" 'Yes , ' said Phoebe.
" 'W'ell , ' said Louise , as we ( vent along ,
'then she must ho richer that ltulh Morrlil ;

and lovely as she can be. ' I was afraid

of course ; but Phoebe \Vllllunts swore by
irate Stilwell , unyhow ; anybody could see
tint.
" Well , ] Cato got up a perfect reputation
for stinglneNs She was so 01)011 about It.
She didn't seen ) to care If everybody knew
she was stingy , nor what anybody thiought. '
Of course , If tso had thought she was
scrimped for money , not one of us would
have criticised her , not a girl in the hall
would have been 50 Iaean as ( lint ; but when
we all Inosv how well oft she was it just
provoked us , ' ! 'hero was the Camera club.
] tutu tied a camera , and Eva l'ayno nakud
her to join time club , but when ] sva told her
it was 15 for the initlutlou fro she said 0 !
And she didn't join. Then there was a

Mss Chasn didn't allow grinds In the
paper , eltker , bu.t that got In somehow ,
1Catu Stilwell didn't pay any attention to
it , but Phoebe Williams did , She thought
Louisa had put it In , and she went to
her , as hot as could be , and asked her If
she had ; but Louise hadn't , I think it was
Eva Payne.
"Kate bad plenty of nice clothes when
she came to school , but she didn't get anything -
thing more , Sara Decker said she hadn't
had so much as a new collar button since
nho came to the hall , 'And I'm just waiting -
ing to see , ' said she , 'whether she'll wear
that same oil while swansdown to the gea-
oral's reception , '

"We were all wild about the general's
reception. The general was a friend of
Miss Chase , an old school friend , and he
was going to pass through town on his way
to Washington , and lie had promised Miss
Chase he would stop over night at the hall
and shake hands with us girls ; end of
course Miss Chase was going to make a
fine affair of it. It was In the winter ,
when the talk about the war was growing
all the time , and the girls were all crazy
about meeting the general.
"Almost every girl was going to have
something new for that reception , Sara
Decker had a beautiful pink silk waist , and
I lead a new dress , and lots of the girls
did. Sara was determined to know what
Kate Stilwell was going to do about it , and
finally she asked her. Sara and I were
In the gymnasium , and Kate came In.
" 'What about the reception , Kate ? ' said
Sara.'hat ' arc you going to wear ? '
" 'My whiito dress ; said Kate , 'the one
with the rosettes ; you've seen It ; and she
picked up her dumbbells as cool and unconcerned -
concerned as anything.
I "Sara didn't say anything ; she just looked
at me.
"We did all we could to help Miss Chase
to make It a lovely affair. There was a
great big committee on arrangements , about
fifteen of us. I was in it , and Sara and
Louise , and Kate Stilwell and a lot of others.
0 , yes-and Phoebe Williams ; Ruth Merrill
nominated her.
"Louise and Sara roomed together , and a
week before the reception they Invited the
whole committee to their room to talk things
over , and to have a spread-what we cal } a
spread ; we had cake and olives and oranges
nail we made fudge. They borrowed tables
and chairs , and every girl had a plate , and
just for fun they had a 'favor' for every
girl. They were paragraphs and verses that
they'd cut out of old newspapers and books ,
and we read them out loud , in turn , They
were hilts , mostly ; Ruth Merrill is a great
chatterbox , and hers was a verse about a
gentle , quiet child that never talked any.
She didn't care , nor any of us ; we laughed
and had a great time-till it got around to
Kato Stilwell ,
"Well-Kate read hers right out , like the
rest of us. She looked at Sara and Louise
a minute , and liar cheeks got a little redder -
der , and then she read It ; and this was her
verse :
" 0 , yes , I am kinder mvln' and clus ;
lt'al , yes , I know I be ,
I'm ( ( chit ns the bark of n tree ,
Ilut I tell ye I'd suffer consider'ble wuss
'I'o Spend my good money , ' says he ,
"Ono or two girls laugbed , but I think
wo felt scared a little ; I did , I know , and
I tried to thlnlc of something to say to
51100th It over if I could , But I didn't
have time to say anything. Somebody
jumped up all at once , and I looked round
and saw Phoebe Williams standing up. She
didn't look warm , like Kate ; she looked
pale , and we all knew something was going
to happen , and It was still as it could be.
" 'I'm going to speak out , ' said she , 'I
can't bear it any longer. You girls have
thrown out hints like this before , hints
about Kato Stilwell being stingy , and I've
stood it as long as I can , No , don't stop
line , Kate-I must and 1 will ! ' said she ,
"She made me think of Spartacus to the
gladiators , or Horatio at the bridge , or
somebody , thin way she looked standing
there , 'I want to ask you something , ' she
said , 'Just one thing , If Kate Stilwoll Is
stingy , do you Icuow why she's stingy ?
R'cll , I'm going to tell you why.
" 'We've always been friends at hone , '
said she , 'though I'm ' poor and she is rich ;
and so Kato has known all abut mu. She

business , but L knew what she > bougbt. She
didn't want any of you girls to know she

( bought , besides , that I should take a better -

" 'I ' wanted to see it Miss Chase could
not give me work part of the time , housework -
work or anything. I didn't care what so
long as I could earn part of my expenses
and save Kate that much. Kate wouldn't
have it. She said i would have studying
enough to do without anything else ; she
said she wanted to see me get through
with honors , and that she was doing it ,
and she was going lp do It all , and do it
her own way ,
" 'Now , how do you think 1 felt ; said
Phoebe Williams , 'when you called Kate
Stilwell stingy ? If she has been saving ,
she has bad to be , and now you know why.

mean verse , she wouldn't let them ; she said
if she'd really been as stingy as they
thought she was that she wouldn't have
blamed them. But there are lots of ways
for girls to show it , you know , when they
Ilko a girl and admire her and want her
to know it. I don't believe there was a
girl In school that didn't do something to
let Kate Stilwell know how fine she thought
she was , Ruth Merrill couldn't hold in ; she
went and bought her a sliver belt set with
blue , stones , and she Invited her to go to
the Thousand Islands this summer with her
and her people , and I suppose they're there
now. Ruth never does things by halves.
"We liked Phoebe Williams after that , too.
We let her manage the decorations for the
general's reception , and she did well. I

An ordinary button is a very trifling
thing , but one of brsNs has a power that
few other things possess. Everybody falls
under the spell of the brilliant array of
gilt buttons that shine on thin dark blue or
gray coat of a midshipman or cadet , or gilt'
ter on the portly breast of a brigadier gen'
erai or admiral. But how many people
know that there Is a meaning in every one
thus worn , and that an officer's rank may be
determined by the device on the button , as
well as by the number he wears ,
As to the buttons themselves ; the large
ones are seven-elghtbs of an inch In interior
diameter , and the small ones nine-six'
teeathe. They are of yellow metal , Ore-gilt
and burnished ,
The general officers and the oftcers of the
general staff wear a gilt button , very convex -
vex , with the spread eagto and stars , and a
plain border. For officers of the corps of
engineers the button is different , being only
slightly convex , with a raised , bright rim ,
one and one-thirteenth of an inch wide , Its
devices are an eagle holding in his beak a
scroll with the word "Essnyons" ( let us
try ) : a bastion with embrasures in the die-
tnnce , surrounded by water ; and a rising
sun , These devices are of dead gold upon a
bright geld.
For officers of the Ordnance department
the buttons are gilt , convex , wIth a plain
border , anti their device consists of two
crossed cannon and a bombshell with a circular -
cular scroll over and across the cannon ,
containing the words "Ordnanco Corps. "
Signal corps officers have convex gilt buttons -
tons , with plain border , and the device of
two crossed signal flags with a burning
torch between them , For artillery , infantry
and cavalry , the button is gilt , convex , with
the device of a spread eagle with a shield
on its breast , which contains ( lie letter A ,
I or C. The aides-dc-camp may wear the
button of the general staff , or the one of
their own regiment or corps , ns they please.
The cavalry has a button with two sabers
crossed , their edges upright ; the infantry ,
two rifles , with bayonets crossed , their barrels -
rels upwnld ; the artillery , two cannon
crossed ; the post quartermaster sergeant , a
key and quill pen crossed ; the hospital
corps , a large crass ; the engineer corps , a
turrotted castle ; the signal corps , two signal -
nal ] lags , crossed with a burning torch the
ordnance , n shell in Ilames , and the commissary -
missary sergeant , a crescent ,
The navy button is just as important , but
not so varied as the army button. It is gilt ,
convex , and of three sizes in exterior diame-
ter. The large size Is seven-eighths of an
inch ; the medium seven-tenths of ata inch ,
and the small size nine-slxteenlhs of an
inch. Each size bears the same device ,
( tint of a large eagle holding nn anchor and
surrounded by thirteen stars in honor of
the thirteen states ,

FIRST OF HER SEX TO ASCEND RANIER
3IIss Fay Fuller , Wri cr , Explorer snd
Ilnrhnr Mnslcr , Ness Being time
lxpesltlott for tier Western -
ern Mnlraxine.
Miss I'ay Fuller , the well known newspaper -
paper writer of Tacoma , \\'ash , who is doing -
ing the exposition in the Interests of "Tbo
Stale , " a new and "swell" magazine of Pa-
ci/le / northwest literature , has achieved distinction -
tinction in several ways during several
years of newspaper work ,
First and foremost of her out-of-the-ordi-
nary achievements Is that she was the first
woman to climb Mount Ilauier wllh the
Portland Mazamns , Mount Ilauier is the
king of the snow peaks on the Pacific coast ,
amid that Miss Puller accomplished the
hazardous journey with her fellow Mazamas ,
carrylig her own camping equipage and enduring -
during the cold and fatigue , speaks much
for her grit. The Mnzmma society-an
association of mountain climbers-is proud
of her.
"I think I undertook the trip , " she says ,
just because I wanted to prove that it
could be done by a woman. They attempted
to dissuade me , saying that 1 would never
endure the fatigue of such a journey. But
I was determined to try it. The summit of
old Ranier was reached August 10 , 1890.
We were led by Rev , E , C , Smith of Seattle.
There were four men besides myself , and
we spent the night on the mountain top ,
14,519 feet above the sea In a cave of ice ,
'I have always taken a great deal of Interest -
terest In ttlo explorations of the Mazamas.
Thu society camp Into existence on the sum'
null of Mount Hood , July 19 , 1884 , at which
time nearly 200 persons participated in the
exercises. The society pursues a line of
scientific study , and wo promote mountain
climbing , for one thing , because our mountains -
tains in the greater west beat the Alps.
Tourists are coming to recognize this fact.
Very little was known of our great peaks
ucllll the Mazama society directed general
attention to them.
"There is no grander , nobler inspiration"
-at these words ABss Fuller's eyes sparkled
wilb delight and enthusiasm as she thought
of It-"tlman the satisfaction one feels In
having actually mounted clear to the summit -
mit , up above the clouds-the very top !
Where , ! f you could toss a stone it would
fall a mile to shifting clouds and the ( bun'
der storm ,
Some Advice to Amateurs.
"Mountain climbing Should be undertaken
by ouly men and women who have the cour-
climbing is intense -
age. The fatigue from
tense , indeed , Each must carry his or
her own paclc. While the men are always
kind and helpful and all that , you
are certainly not to expect them to help
you up along rough places and to carry
your pack for you. Camping out is awfully -
fully jolly. Wo build a great big campfire -
fire hu the wilderness and around it we
gather to hoar a scientific talk on moun'
tains , singing by some one who has brought
lnstruments at least a part of the way , and
then the society transacts business.
"You leave the timber line at between
0,000 and 7,000 feet , and from that on up
for twelve hours it is a hard and exceedingly -
ingly trying climb until ( ho topmost peak
is reached. One should not imagine there
Is lack of room , however , for it is nearly
two miles between the two peaks on the
summit.
"Last summer a large number of people
successfully scaled Ranier , which ! s the
most difficult mountain of any of them. It
was a day and two nights' journey. The
expedition was marked by the first tragedy
on that mountain , Prof. Edward McClure
of Oregon was dashed to death over a
precipice , having gone just a little out of
his way on starting to descend. It was
a gloomy night we kept on the mountain
top that night The unfortunate man was
beyond help and we had to waft till daylight -
light to attempt a rescue of the body ,
"Lost year , on going up with the party , I
was struck by a falling stone which came
tumbling down the mountain sldo and
knocked unconscious.
"This year the Mazama society will go
on an expedition up to St. Helens , another
high peak In Skemania county , Washington -
ton , and reached by two or three days' drive
from old Fort Vancouver.
"One of the most notable
expeditions in recent years was the exploration -
tion of Crater lake , in 1Clamnth county ,
Oregon. I had the honor of christening this
peak , wherein there is the third deepest
lake In the whole world , being in the bowl
of an extinct crater. It was named Mount
Pitt and Is a most remarkable place. In
the center of the lake there Is a small
island , and one of my great adventures w'av
to spend a night alone on this island. Such
glorious scenery as surround } Lake Pitt
eclipses anything that tourists have traveled
the seas over to see. "
She's a Nuutlenl Expert , Too ,
Mies Fuller is probably the first woman
reporter , who bole thin routine of the water
front , and , nearly everything else in the way
of assignments usually ullotted to the men ,
on any paper on time coast , not excepting San
