WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING.

What an Observing Clergyman Has to
Say Upon This Su'Ject-It Has Not Hurt
the Women and Has Purified the POLL
Ing Places.
Rev. d. L. RAIDER. ID. D., bishop OF the
NJ. +. Church of Wyoming, says in let
ter to the Central Christian Advocates:
In marked degree we are just pc
pie. To such an extent do they carry
this grace that they will not deprive a
woman of her rights because she is a
woman, but they allow her the same
chance the men have. have been care
fully watching the effect of the priyi-
lcges they have granted her for the last
five years. l came here not without
prejudice against this innovation.
have found that all our women are not
ideal ladies, but those who came here
ladies are no less ladies for having en-
joyed all the privileges granted them.
even to that of voting. They are just
rs good kecpers-at-home, having 4 little
more stimulus to keep posted, are no
less devoted to the cause Of Christ, and
are just as lovable and entertaining as
before voting.
THE effect of the women about
voting places is most wholesome. Be-
fore I came to Wyoming, man as am.
and reared in Missouri as was, never
went about the polling places without
some trepidation, because had seen SO
many brutal fights about them. Here l
have gone always with my wife by my
side, and with as much respect shown
both Of us as though we were going to
church. Never have ! seen the least
improperly in the conduct Of any one
about the polls in Wyoming, and have
watched them for hours to see some.

THE WOMAN'S COLUMN
WOMAN.

A queen in her beautiful garments,
She stands on the ranparts to day
To herald the dawn, and the cerements
OF her past are folded away.
She stands with the prophets and sagcs;
She speaks. and her tongue Is flame
Lcaping forth from fires which for ages
Have smoldered In silence and shame.
Her feet have come up from the valleys,
They are climbing the mountains OF light.
At her call the world rouses and rallies,
Bearing arms In the battle OF right.
She treads on the serpent that struggles
And grinds out its life meath her heel.
She erappies with sorrows that wrong her,
Converting her woe into veal;
Made strong through her slaughtered afYec
lions,
She comes. with her sons by her side.
An NJ gel OF power and protection,
Their beacon light, leader and guide.
No longer timorous being.
To cringc and 10 cry meath the rod,
But quick to divine, and far-sccing,
She hastens the purpose OF God.

The skating SpiSler.

Did SOU ever sec skating spider?
These spiders do not swim or turn, but
skate, ana their eyes are placed two BY
two SO close together that each pair
seems only one. But what are his
skates. do you think? You can see
nothing hut tiny hairs on his feet and
no one can tell how he does it.
II you should look at the foot of q
common spider you would see that 1t
was used for two queer things. For,
like hand which holds the thread the
spider spins, and comb to keep it fast
until ii grows strong and firm in the
air. 1t is perfect little comb OF she'll.
The spiders web is one Of the most
wonderful things in the world. So fine
and yet so strong that the spider can
run all over it in every direction and II
never breaks. 1t is more wonderful
than any rope that was ever made

The Superiority Of Woman.

Woman's spiritual superiority over
man is no poets fancy. 1t is an absolute
fact She possesses keener discrimination
between rightand wrong. Her judgment
is the moral criterion to which he sub
mits his deeds. II she approve, his con-
science Is quiet; II she d.,approve. he is
i'll ut ease. That is why woman who
blunts her moral perceptions and allows
herself to be dragged down from her
spiritual throne is so powerful an instru-
ment of evil. Therein lies the truth OF
the old saying that there is no great
good or great evil in the world which
does not have woman at the bottom Of
it. And underneath all history of ma
tons and men lies the unwritten history
Of the home. The progress of truth, :"
says Emerson, will make every house a
SHRINE" and truth is never 50 effective
as when it is embodied in woman

How Little Ted Aided Thirty.Eour to

Ted had never mentioned 1t, but he

he grew up He was sure he would like

The policeman's name was thirty

badge that he wore on the beautiful
coat, and so Ted always called him, for
they were great friends. ''Hullo. young

their bamboo fish-pole stuck through

friend Thirty-four was sitting OH one
Of the seats, with very red nosed
tramp sitting beside him. The wagon
stopped by the patrol-box, and with .
word to the driver Thirty-fous got down
and went into the box.
But the horses were uneasy, and
while the driver was busy with them
the tramp jumped out Of the wagon and
ran up the walk straight towards Ted,
who was SO busy watching them that he

six inches above the walk.

after the tramp pell-mell, who, looking
over his shoulder, caught his foot under

by Thirty-four before he could get up.

JOSlE'S TROUBLE.

The Disturbance One Little Hoy Raised

Little Josie Brown was sent to the
store for bottle Of shoe-dressing. He

out OF the house in a bad temper. After

to come to 4 slippery part of the pave.

bottle on the ground. OF course, il

about to throw himself on her lap. she
cried out in alarm: Don't come neal
me-
Mrs. Brown was making a new silk
dress, and she naturally objec:cd to II
being soiled by shoe-dressing.
Then Josie screamed all the more.
and his two little brothers. who were
present, thinking that their mother was
frightened. began to scream too. This
woke the baby, who joined in the dismal
chorus
The sound was heard in the street,
and some foolish people quickly gave
an alarm Of fire. In a very short time
engines were in front Of the house.
This made such an uproar that Mrs.
Brown wondered for moment what il
all meant When she did understand
it herself. she found it difficult to make
every body else understand what had
happened. Then she found it still more
difficult to quiet her three frightened
little children.
Don't you think that was a great deal
of trouble for one boy to cause his dear
mamma? Josie thought SO when he was
calm enough to think at all. and / be-

The conversation was quiet enough

After this Velasquez told Delaro that

Delaro refused to lend the amount.
