One of our exchanges tells of young girl who
applied for work by which she could earn some
money. When asked what kind of employment
she wished, her reply was, "Oh anything that
lady can do She fully expected to find lucrative
positions were to be had for the asking No
thought of her adaptabity to do certain lines of
work had ever entered her brain, and yet she
clearly stated that she did not wish TO engage in
the only kind of work with which she was familiar
in her fathers home; that would never do, it
would be degrading to her as a lady. Never, un-
til women fit themselves just as men do for work,

Mrs. MCFARLAND, in Demorest's Monthly Ma
gazine, tells of the women Of Siam. She says that
the women Of the upper class are shut up in
community by themselves That the king palace
is a veritable city of about thousand women.
The gates of this city are closed at pm. II has
police force composed Of women, who patrol the
streets night and day. The king is highest in
rank and has the largest number of wives-prob-
ably thirty. Each one of his wives has house of
her own. Strange as it may seem, the foremost
men of the country are DESTROYS of giving their
daughters to the king thus secuding them for life
within the palace walls. Those who are not for
tunate enough to become favoItes, lead miserable
lives, from which death is the only release.
One nobleman defies customs and traditions, and
has the courage to have only one wife. He treats
her as his companion and equal She goes into
society with him, presdes in the drawing room,
and graces the head of the table with her presence
The women of the lower classes are treated more
like humans. They plough reap and thrash the
grain, row the heavy boats that carry it to market,
but very few of them sew or take in washing for
living. They are described as rather progresses
ing in youth, slender, with bright faces and
soft black eyes, but they grow sullen and lose all
care for personal beauty as they advance in years
In an excellent address made before Kansas
Suffrage Convention Mrs. M, D. Lowman, mayor
of the little city of OScaloosa, Kansas, stated that
Sin her experience the homes of the women who
voted were admirably kept" Good housekeop-
ing, far from being the exception is the rule
among women who are sufficiently advanced in
thought to appreciate their own WORTH believing
themselves worthy, as representing the better
moral element in society, to become factors in the
government under which they live and whose laws
they are compelled to obey

Lincoln Edkin of Davidson twp,
who escaped from the Sullivan coun-
ty Jail on Wednesday Dec. 18th, a
full account of which was given in
our last issue, is still among the
people of the world enjoying his
freedom. 1t is rumored that he is
rusticating with friends and relatives
near his home and that he has re-
peatedly sayd "that the first person
who attempts to arrest him and
bring him back to Jail, he will infiict
upon his person wounds of serious
nature" Notwithstanding these
threats, however, we are informed
that an officer accompanied by one
assistant will appear upon the scene
and if in their power will return the
escaped to cell No. I.

The people of Sullivan county are
becoming tired of reading accounts
of convicts escaping from our ill
constructed Jail and we have heard
it remarked by tax payers at least a
half dozen times within the past ten
days that our county should and can
afford a Jail of credit to our county.
1t is merely waist of time for the
court to sentence convict to serve
term in prison in Sullivan county.
The first issue of the county papers
after the sentence of the court
imposed upon criminal at Dec. T.
brought him the news that the con-
vict had escaped from the prison
and was enjoying his freedom.
These statements which are frequent
are disgrace to the residents of our
county and will never cease until we
have erected a Jail fitted tor the pur-
pose it is constructed for. The
one in use at present is four cells on
the lower floor of the Court House
building incloscd with brick and
simply plastered ceiling overhead.
We doubt if there is county in the
state so miserably represented by
prison bars as Sullivan county.
The Grand Jury at several terms of
court have urged that there be Jail
built worthy of the name but the
request has never been given a
thought by the proper officials.

Ezra and Dewitt Shultz brothers, of
near Overton, Bradford county, were
arrested on Thursday last for burg
larizing the store of Chas Wanck of
Forks twp, Sullivan county and
were brought to LaPorte ON Satur-
day Dec. %, and placed behind the
prison bars. The goods stolen
amounted to some $50. A lively
time ensued when constable
Hunsinger of Forks entered or at
tempted to enter the home of the
convicts to make the arrest. He
was confronted by revolver point
ed straight at his eye held by the
grip of the wife Of one of the
Shultzs. He retired and secured
the assistance of Chauncey s. Hot.
tenstein and r. w. Norton who
entered the building and arrested
the third brother Charley but at the
hearing no proof of his guilt could
be sustained and he was given his
freedom. The two brothers now in
Jail were arrested on the public road
while returning from Towanda, and
were brought to LaPorte by Norton
and Hottenstein; constable Hum
singer arguing that he was other
wise engaged.

We have it from good authority
that the w. e. N. b., will be built to
LaPorte, positively certain, during
the coming summer. 1t is a notice
able fact that there is considerable
stir in railroad circles about this
section and there is no reason to
doubt but that there is some truth
in the above assertion. We trust,
however, that there is more correct
ness in our statement than there was
in the report of railroad news given
by Rutter of the Hughescille Mail
in his issue of Dec. 20. Wherein he
says that "large force of men are
engaged in grading from Nordmont
to Bernice." This is entirely untrue
and caused much laugh hhere when read
in public place on the day of the
arrival of said paper. This state.
ment by Rutter, however, is just
about as near correct as he is in the
habit of informing his readers.

with him two match team of horses,
owned by him but were about to be
levied upon by the Sheriff. 1t is
said by his creditors that had he re-

Sheriff to :" on and make a levy
there would have been ample per-
sonal property to have paid off all
claims and small surplus for his

Of his intellectual countenance upon the

Poe is both poetic and sympathetic, as
was demonstrated six years ago, and is
a sharp darkey, too. AS yet he is an
unknown quantity in the coming cam
paign, but when he lifts his telescope to
survey the field he may see that he is
the man to cook the goose of the Rev.

wants to run for Congress, and will bow
to destiny. In such an event the dis

will eclipse Brewer and Settles canvass
