PRINTERS INK.

"Daniel Trentworthy,"a novel by John McGov- ern (published by Rand, McNally < Co.,, Chicago and New York) is meeting with success. It is a tale of the great Chicago fire, and, written by one who was on the heated ground, is not only vivid but truthful in detail. It's merit, however, does not alone consist of its dealings with the great fagration, for its characters, drawn with 6 quick and nervous hand are full of interest The book is action from the very beginning-it does not con- tain tiresome description It is 8 work of word economy, permitting of no waste.
 The Little Rock Gazette is now a representative of the progressive spirit of the south. As news paper it takes high rank and in the matter of hon. orable and fearlessness of opinon 1t is unsurpassed It Is not only . credit to ArkanAw, but an honor to the entire south.

The Rvolution of Woman.
 Harper's AgaRaxine.

If we look back quarter of c century there is no change 90 marked in social and business life as that in the position of woman in regard to ednca- tion, employment and freedom of action And fhis position of Independence and self defense is taken without any question. A few years ago in London 1t was not just the thing for unmarried girl Co be seen abroad alone even in her mothers carriage She may now be seen in hanson. It was not long ago that 1t was thought to be unsafe for . woman to travel without a male protector brace of spirited girls may now go clear around the world together in entire safety and without exciting any sentiment more dangerous that admiration. So far as the world Is concerned they are entirely safe, If they desire to be.
 Perhaps we might have more cause for anxiety for the we'll being of young man or a couple of young men on the same journey. The world in all civilized lands will treat the young woman as she wishes to be treated. It seems to be well settled that women can protect themselves now that they are permitted to do so and that they come as near to supporting themselves as q good many men. Indeed, among the colored women of the south, 1t Is quite prevalent question whether they can afford to take husbands. It is a subject of constant speculation what effect this change of positions will have upon the character of the sex. The sex have always despised man who is not independent and self sustaining. The men have liked women who were not too independent.
 Will women be less attractive to men as they become less helpless, and will their independence work subtle change in their nature, which will be increasing time goes on according to the laws of heredity? Will the habit of self f-reliance, of taking active part in business, perhaps in politics (for good many women saying that they will be willing to vote and run or sumter for ofce if Providence puts the ballot in their hands), put certain other admirable qualities in place of the acknowledged feminine graces and charms? This
 is an open question, and one much more important than the tariff or the surplus-even the reported surplus of women in certain states. For it cannot be but that the education of women and their increasing freedom of action will virtually affect this nation as it has already affected the visible aspect of modern life.

A travelling missionary had been
through a very rough country, and
his meek spirit had been sorely tried.
But he left in despair when he struck
an old man at a railway station in
Texas. They discussed various
things, and finally the missionary
asked "Are you prepared to die?''
81 guess you've always got to be pre-
pared in this country. Yes; I'm pre-
pared to die or get the drop OH the

WHO OWNS NO MANS LAND2

WHO OWNS NO MANS LAND?
The little strip of territory lying be-
tween the north boundary of Texas
panhandle and the south boundary Of
Colorado and Kansas, usually known
as mo Mans Land comprises some
thing like three and a-half million
acres. 1t does seem that there should
be no question as to the title of Texas
to that land. When the State of
Texas was admitted into the Union
she was so admitted under the Mis-
souri, compromise of 1929, which per-
petually excluded slavery in the ter
rtory north of the thirty-siXth paral-
lei of latitude where it did not already
exist. III the article admitting Texas
she was so admitted with the privi-
lege of forming four states, but no
more, out of her territory; and, it was
further stipulated that in so much Of
her territory as lay north of the
thirty sixth parallel involuntary
servitude, or slavery, should not
exist save as punishment for crime.
Texas was thus within and without
the territory from which slavery was
excluded, the line of the thirty-sixth
parallel running through the state
and cutting it into. Slaves could not
be held in the small strip lying north
of the compromise line, and as Texas
was a slave state that part of the
public domain of Texas was left out
in the cold. 1t was too small a Sec
ton to be erected into free state and
80 it has remained. The language of
the instrument admitting Texas into
the union is abundant proof that Tex
as at that time was entitled to land
lying north of the thirty-siXth parallel.
What has become of her title there
to? She has not coded it to the
United States. There is no evidence
of that transaction anywhere on rec
ord. She simply abandoned it dur
ing slavery times because by the
terms of her treaty with the United
States she could not bring slaves in.

owned. There never was any ques-
