WOmen's Treatment of Women.


There is a general sentiment that
women do not stand by each other, as
men do by men; that we are envious.
narrow and small, where our sex is con-
cerned; that the greatest obstacles pro-
fessional women have to overcome are
the prejudices of women themselves;
that if woman commits q fault,
nobody is so quick and ready to heap
opprobrium upon her as another woman.
All this is, to a certain extent, unhappi-
ly true;7 but it is by no means generally
true. The fashion Of women sneering
at women is passing into disrepute; so
that nowadays, no woman who expects
to pass as well bred lady is guilty of
the bad taste of speaking disparagingly
or slightingly of her own sex. Now and
then one does it, thinking thereby that
she wins the esteem of men byso doing,
She can make no greater mistake. Men
admire large-mindedness and larpe-
heartedness In women, quite as much as
women admire those qualities in men.
The more strongly and Loyalty women
stand by one another, the more respect
fully they treat and speak Of one another,
the more women honor women, have
faith in women, the better for us, the
more credit to us. We can not expect
men to honor and revere us, unless we
ourselves honor and revere our own
sex.-1uarg Il. 70. Wager Fisher, iss San
dag Afternoon for Oe'ober.

Virtue of Indian Sioux Women.

General Terry's remark to Indian
Commissioner Hayt, that he believed
Sioux women to be virtuous, is con-
firmed by the most casual observations
of the habits and customs of this nation.
In fact, it seems incredible that Mr..
Hayt should have travelled all through
the Indian country without being en-
lightened upon this special subject. The
virtue of their young girls is most jeal-
ously guarded by the different tribes
Until her marriage a Sioux maiden never
walks out alone; she is invariably &C
companied by some older woman. In
her belt she carries knife with which
she is well able to repel any freedoms
offered either by white men or her own
countrymen. The marriage is simply a
bargain between her father or nearest
relative and her would be husband. She
is sold to the bidder who offers for her
the greatest number of ponies. After
an understanding is come to on thepoint,
the lover takes every opportunity of
meeting bis fancee and gaining her
favor, but whether she encourages his
attentions OF, not, he finally carries her
off to his tipi. If he can prove he has
been deceived in his bride, he returns
her to her family and receives back his
ponies. The girl is disgraced for life,
and either remains a burden upon her
relatives or, most usually, is cast off by
them totally disgraeed .-Dakota Cor.

IT would be hard for q stranger to
find the spots wherein some of the most
iouris hing Of the Pennsylvania oil towns
once stood. Scarcely trace is left of
Petroleum Center, which ten years ago
had population of 1900, with banks,
big hotels, machine shops, stores and
churches. Pithole City is nearly gone.
When G. B. Duncan, who died in. Glas-
gov years ago, made his will, he left 10
a church of Pithole $4,000. During
the litigation that followed a committee
was sent to find the church. They re-
turned and said that no such building
was to be found. The fact was that
when Mr.. Duncan was in Pithole the
church was in a fiourishing condition,
but both congregation and house had
disappeared before he made his will.

crying over their misfortune, and so
forth. But the Walee, hearing that the
/ box had been found in the garden of
the house formerly occupied by the
.Kadee, concluded that this must have
been trick played by Abu Suleiman,
the Tartar Wherefore he had the
boots placed in another box, and sent
the box to the Walee of the province in
which Abu Suleiman lived, with letter
requesting that the perpetrator of such
joke should be duly punished for his
impertinence.
After three days the bsx arrived at
its destination, and the people, hearing
that a box had been found underground,
and was sent by the Walee of one
province to the Walee of another
province, concluded that it must con.
tain valuable treasure, and assembled
at the hall of the Governor to hear and
see what it was. Abu Suleiman himself
was present, and when the Walee had
read the letter, he was called upon to
come forward and open the box. When
he had done SO, and saw his own old
boots, he cried: Il -.f.s,... :. .4as- sa
"Alas, me! and oh, my misfortune!
Wherever | go, they follow me; wher-
ever / place them, or hide them, they
return again upon me-" 9s
But the Walee smote him on the face,
saying: Wretch! you have brought
disgrace upon me; take your old boo. s
and begone.'' En-
So he took up his old boots, and re-
turned to his own house, sullen and
downhearted. He threw them down at
the door, and entered to brood over his
ill-luck, and think what to do with his
old boots. Now, neighbor, hearing
how Abu Suleiman had been disgraced,
came in the evening to condole with
him. And so it happened that in the
dark he stumbled over one boot, and,
falling, peeled his nose on the other.
When he entered, instead of condoling
with his friend, he began to lament his
own mishap; but Abu Suleiman said to
him
"My friend, if you had held your nose
to one side, you might have saved your
skin; bat as to the boots, they are en-
tirely beyond nv controls III ~,
So his friend was appeased by the
good natu ed remark, and after. he had
spent some hours with Abu Suleiman,
he wished him goodnight and went on
his way. '-3 .'.t.'5 ','5.
So, after his neighbor had departed,
.Abu Suleiman, wishing to- ge~ont for
some purpose, and not-fnding his slip
pers at hand, slipped his foot into one
of the old boots. But no sooner had he
done so than he cried aloud, for a snake
had taken refuge in the boot, and stung
his foot. So he cried aloud, and said
SIS there no ore to succor mep Is
there no one to do a neighbours part?
Is there no one to help me, and deliver
me from these boots?' sd
Then he took his way, though it was
near midnight, to the house of the
Kadee, and cried and screamed till the
Kadee awoke from his sleep, and asked
the cause of the alarm And Abu
Suleiman told him the whole matter how
it stood, and the whole history how it
proceeded, and concluded
ssLife to the head of our lord, the
Kadee; write me writ of release from
this pair Of old boots else they will kill
me in little time" 4
So the Kadee, seeing his simplicity,
smiled and took the boots from him, and
sent him home in peace.

Then you might have seen an inn
mense crowd of people marching in
front of the box, as it was being convey
ed to the hall of the Walee- some curl
Gus to see what would happen; others
going to receive their share; others re-
joicing in the good luck of their friends;
others, of an envious mind, ready to
give their evidence and to cut off the
good fortune of the finder And the
people of the province, as the process
sion advanced, joined also in the crowd
to witness the valuable antiquities that
had been found underground. a
When they reached the presence Of
his Highness, he ordered the box to be
opened; and, behold! "a pair of old
eloated boots. Then, soa might have
seen that same crowd in many guises-
some laughing in their sleeves; others
