The large price that the owner of the

obtained for his property, having made

the possible exception of Greece and
England-we doubt even whether an

localities which derive their interest
from records of his tory, and which, if
put up for sale, would bring larger

Mrs. Margaret II. Bailey, who by the

fight the battle of life for herself, was
born in Tallahassee, Fla, the only daugh.
ter of the distinguished lawyer, Hon.
Robert S. Hayward, partner of Gov.
David S. Walker. When but seventeen
years of age she was married to Capt.
Abram u. Bailey, son of Gen. William
Bailey. At nineteen she was left a
widow, and being a lady of rare culture
and literary ability she went to Wash.

ness of person, tact and ability won i'm
mediate recognition. In the past twelve
years she has been engaged in literary
and clerical work, but the worlds fair
needed her, and SO, indorsed by such
men as Secretary Blaine, Roswell P.
Flower, Gen. Francis A. Walker, Wade
Hampton, Senators Cullom, Blackburn,
Vest, Bate and Others equally promi-

position that Director General Davis
could give lady-that of record and
file clerk in his department. To quote
the words of one of her distinguished
friends in the senate: Mrs. Bailey is
capable of filing gracefully and sue
cessfully any place she would accept"
This has been exemplified in her work
here, which requires executive ability
of high order. Mrs. Bailey is not only
lovely IN person, bright in intellect and
practical in business, but is endowed
with a voice of unusual sweetness and
power. Had she preferred the operate
stage to life of comparative retire
ment, she probably would have won
fame and fortune.
In appearance we can best describe
her in Tennyson's couplet:
"a daughter of the gods, divinely tall
And most divinely fair
with heavy waves of golden hair loose
ly knotted at the back, her expressive
face illumined with dark, speaking
eyes Warm hearted and generous to
fault, she endears herself to all who are
favored with her friendship.
Another lady of strong and charming
personality is Miss Jean Loughborough,
lady manager at large of the Arkansas
worlds fair association, and assistant
secretary in the womans department.

specimens of her work, and are consid-
cred the best done of any in the depart

Miss Emma c. Sicllles chairman of
the worlds congress auxiliary on Amer
lean ethnology, has had much experience
in the ways of the Sioux, and eight years
ago was superintendent of the Pine
Ridge boarding school established by
the government. For two years she
was stationed there, and the chiefs have
such confidence in her that during the
Pine Ridge troubles of year ago she
was sent out from Washington as a
mediator between the disaffected In
dians and the government, and did much
toward bringing about peace.
Without interruption or accident she
reached the Pine Ridge agency, where
she found the Indians in n condition of
fear and uncertainty. The Brule In
dians were in the Bad Lands. Defiant
messages were daily brought back, by
mischief makers, as was afterward dis
covered. Little Wound was feared as a
dangerous hostile, preparing for and
threatening an attack on the agency.
Miss Sicllles, attended by two of her
pupils, went out to his camp an, car
ried messages of peace with which she
had been intrusted by Gen. Miles. After
three visits to his camp he came to the
agency, and, becoming convinced of the
sincerity of her mission and the good
will of the government, volunteered to
carry the information to those who had
fled to the Bad Lands and persuade
them to return. They yielded to his
influence, but unfortunately reached
the agency the very day that Big Foot's
band was fighting, and Little Wound
and party were taken prisoners. Miss
Sickles' kindly help was again success
fully invoked.
After accomplishing this work, requir-
ing nerve and tact, Miss Sickles re-
turned to Washington in advance of the
various Indian delegations, and during
her stay in that city addressed several
audiences, and from there went to Phil
adelphia, where she lectured with sue

childhood was spent in Wisconsin, New
York, New Jersey and Illinois. She

One Woman Who Ia n Terror.

"Here's something rather novel and
amusing in the way of business ar
rangement," said the man on the cor
ner to the other man. "Our firm has a
travelling man whose wife is what is
commonly termed a terror. She regu-
lates her husband in every particular,
draws his salary and doles it out to him,
comes in and raises Sancho with the
house if he is out too long, and makes
herself generally obnoxious. All the
men in the Office are afraid of her, and
you would laugh to see them scatter off
and get very busy when she appears.
Well, sir, this year the firm wanted to
cut that drummer's salary down, and
how do you think they did it? They
knew his wife would make things live
ly If she knew his salary was decreased,
so they fixed it up between them that
his pay was to be reduced, but that his
wife was to draw the old account, and
that, as the drummer had little bank
account, he would make matters square
with the firm at the end of the year.
How's that for terrorizing ability-one
little one hundred and thirty-pound
woman holding under her thumb her
husband and whole firm besides?"-

The Human Voice.

We have seen it stated somewhere
that George Whitefeld, the great Meth
odist, once preached in the fields to a
crowd of twenty thousand people and
that his powerful voice reached with
clear distinctness the ears of every man
in the multitude. We believe it without
a struggle. We have heard boy eleven
years old shrek to another boy standing
on the opposite side of a top ring six
feet in diameter in tone that would
have made George Whitefeld stop
preaching and ask the boy where he got
his troches. What blessed thing it is,
what a striking illustration of the in
finite wisdom of Providence that the
human voice does not grow and develop
proportionately with the human body.

The Charm OF Good Manners.

Perhaps the greatest charm in either
man or woman-that which is most
certain to win our liking-is manner.
How often we see u man whose manner
at the very outset wins the esteem and
regard of every one he addresses. A
whole-souled, cordial, yet dignified and
modest manner is fine heritage, and |,
in common with all my sex, like the
man who possesses it. l like man who
preserves certain dignity but yet is
plant; who is open and frank and looks
you honestly in the face; who speaks
out confidently, yet calmly, modestly,
yet firmly; who is neither bluff nor
blunt, but yet free and simple l like a
man who is natural; but if IA man be
naturally too rough, too loud, too curt
or too brutal, like him better when he
shows himself able to conquer these de.
fects.-Mrs. Humphrey Ward.
