MoMEN IN MYoMIno.

The experiment of giving the ballot to
women, which has been on trial in Wyom-
ing for several years, is now an assured
success.
At a recent meeting of the National
Woman's Suffrage convention in Mime
apolis a report on Wyoming was read
which contained some gratifying particu-
lars. Women vote as generally as men.
Quarreling and drunkenness on election
day has been reduced.
Family q%uarrels over politics are UNI
heard of, yet the women all take an active
interest in voting and they rarely vote for
a man OF immoral habits. At the last
session Of the territorial legislature a
member introduced a bill to disiranchise
women and he was laughed down before
Il vote on his measure was taken.
This is the story Of the women. The
men might tell a different tale, but the
facts are sufficient to prove that if female
suffrage is not an absolute good in Wyo-
ming it is still a sufficient proof of the
fact that they can and do exercise the
right Of suffrage with the same intelligence
and discretion hat men show .-f'haaiei-
phia Mars.
To the foregoing THE LEADER would
add that the sentiment regarding women
suffrage and its results in Wyoming is
also the story of the men, who cannot
truthfully tell II different tale.

A Case OF overdone Etiquette.
Boston Traveller

R""NFN o.
The difference of national interpreta.
tons of etiquette arc comically illustrated
in a little story told by a lady In Washing
ton society. A japanese gentleman called
on her one day just before luncheon. As
ii was a first. and, presumably, ceremoni.
Gus call, she naturally expected it would
be brief. To her surprise. he accepted
her invitation 10 lunch, and that domestic
rite over he still staid. The hours wore
on, and he did not 60. The lady was
wearied beyond endurance. Dinner lime
came The lady husband returned, and
still the gentleman from Japan staid on.
lie was. as n matter of necessity, invited
to Inner. Finally The gentleman of the
house relieved his wife for a time in en-.
tertaining this apparently stationary Wis
itor. but. as the evening wore on, he be.
came so tired and sleepy that he retired to
his own apartment, and the hostess again
screwed her courage to the sticking point
and resumed the entertainment Of the
guest
AT last, about midnight, the Japanese.
with the most elaborate and abiect apollo.
gies to the lady for leaving her. took his
departure. Blu the comedy reached its
denouement the next day, when a friend.
in whom the extraordinary guest had
coniidcd. told the hostess that he said he
never had such en- ordeal before in his
life. that he never was so tired, and he
thought the lady would never let him go,
and finally he was obliged TO leave her
without her permission. Then the host.
ess learned that in Japanese etiquette the
lady receiving a gentleman gives him the
signal for his departure. and it is very
rude in their code to leave her till she
does this.
