mutual consent, the business passing
into the sole ownership and manage
ment of Mr.. D. Y. Cooper, who had
always been the active member of the
concern and managed everything con-
nected with it.
Prior to this the house had under

The Bostonian Society.

The woman question walks in at
every open door, and asks for equal
rights for women. The last place at
which it has appeared. at late meet
ing, says the Woman's Journal, is in
the Bostonian Society of Boston. which
had lively discussion on the merits of
the proposal to admit women, and on
the question whether it was best to de-
bate the subject at all. The matter
was relegated to the next meeting.
There had been a report made against
the admission Of women. But it was
urged ''that the Bostonian Society &C.
cupies, free of charge. rooms in the
Old State House, belonging to the city,
and that it is sheer injustice to shut the
doors against one-half of the people of
the CITY," The Advertiser wisely adj
vises ''such a change in the constitution
of this exceedingly useful society as
will do away with all distinctions in re-
gard to SEX" and adds:
"a still more important consideration is that
the prosperity and usefulness of this organiza-
ten depend upon the zeal with which it is sus-
tanned by Bostonians among whom are none
more enthusiast, and devoted to the study of
the city's antiquities and to the maintenance Of
public interest in them than are many Of the
educated, influential women In our midst"
Thomas County cat. [volume] (Colby, Kan.) 1885-1891, 1889-05-02

this is due to the fact that women win
accept these burdens. Men escape
much by the simple method of refusing
to take it upon them. 1t is idle to ex-
pect men to bend to all changes with
which women cucumber their lives. and
90 the lives of men remain more simple
than those Of the other sex. Women
are, as rule. sufficiently well able to
oppose their wills to personal opposi-
ton, but the women are few and far to
seek who are capable of standing out
against circumstances Perhaps the
difference is that a man argues with
himself and is satisfied with his conclu-
sions, while woman must argue with
a second person or her arguments are
apt to be as water spilled upon the
ground which can not be gathered
again. A man convinces himself that
he is right and that is the end of it. He
acts upon that conclusion. while wo-
man in q similar case would be apt to
find it impossible to be satisfied unless
she could have the confirmation of some
one else to assure her that she were
justified in her decision.

The Rights Of Wives.

While care is taken to protect the
husbands lifelong use of the real es-
tate of his wife, says a writer in Wom-
ans Journal, we can not forget that
the wife has only the use of one-third
of the husbands real estate after he is
dead. If he outlives her, she does not
get it at all. and she can not will it. as
her right in it ceases with her life.
Here is case: A woman before her
marriage owned house and land. She
died.. leaving one daughter. The hus-
band married, and had three other
children. The daughter of the first
wife, now married and with children
of her own, greatly needs the property
of her mother. But the law gives the
use of it an to the husband, and he
spends it all on the children of his sec
ond wife. Is it not time further to pro-
tect and extend the rights of wives?

HOW WOMAN IS TAXED.

What Ii Demanded of Women That L. Not
Demanded OF Men.
One OF the most marked characters
tics of modern life. says the Boston
Courier. is the enormous increase
which it makes in its demands upon
women. 1t has always been true from
the dawn Of civilization. that the role
of women in society and in life has been
more intricate, although less broad.
than that Of men. 1t has always been
asked at the hands of women that they
should be a thousand times more fexi-
bic than men; that they should adapt
themselves to hundred conditions
which men ignored or scorned, and
that they play in the drama of life a
score Of parts to every one which was
undertaken by their fathers, and
brothers and sons As life has con-
stantly grown more and more complex,
this difference between the sexes has
increased rather than diminished. Life
to-day demands Of a woman more
changes in day than a man is re-
Quired to compass in month. She
must from moment to moment, be one
