ought TO take pattern after the negro
ladies Of wild tribe In western Africa
They felt the stirring Of tho modern
spirit In them, and demanded Of tho
masculine portion Of the tribe redress
for certain grievances under which they
felt themselves TO DO suffering. The
men refused with scorn. The women
said no more. But one morning tho
dusl;y gentlemen awokc from their slum-
bers to find every woman in tho.Akona
tribe gone. The ladies had left thor hus.
bands and male relatives and t.hen rof.
ugc with a ncighboring tribe, which re-
ceiyed them with open arms, this tribe
not being on good terms with tho
Akonas, and glad, therefore, TO serve
them an III trick. Tho offending men Of
the Aliona tribe were brought TO terms
more speedily than husbands ever were
before. In little while a delegation OF
forlorn braves, representing all tho
Akona men, waited ON tho other tribe
with instructions to assure tho absoond-
ing women that II thcy wonld return all
their demands should DO granted. On
these conditions the wives went back to
the thoroughly subdued men. This Is
