SUFFRAGE AND DIVORCE.
Woman Suffrage Decreases Divorces in
Wyoming.

Woman Suffrage Decreases Divorces IN
Wyoming
The woman suffragists are circulating
a tract discussing the effect of woman
suffrage in Wyoming. The pamphlet
quotes several prominent Wyoming men
who endorse woman suffrage in that state
The surprising statement is made that
woman suffrage will decrease divorces.
The tract says.
1--WE shall have to have woman suffrage
to save the home. How to prevent divorce,
and maintain the sacred institution of the
home is the problem of the day. Wyom-
ing shields more the marriage OF its
daughters shan any other western state,
requiring parental consent for the mar
riage OF any girl under twenty one The
average duration Of marriage before
divorce. when persons have been
J married twenty-one years or over
il considerably longer in WyOm-
ing than ia the average Of the
western group and in the average
OF the whole United States, showing that
the married condition of even the IN
happily mated, is more bearable than
elsewhere. The per cent of divorce
granted to wives in the United States is
very much larger than to husbands,
while in Wyoming the difference is much
smaller than the average, and it must
certainly be for the safety of domestic
relations that the bonds should be as
bearable to one sex as to the other. This
certainly is a point in favor of woman s
equality before the law.
statistics show that contrary to the
prevailing opinion. divorces are very
largely granted where the marriage was
cele brated, but Of the few divorces OBJ
tanned in Wyoming, almost all are Of
those married before going to that state.
So while we can well conceive what a
shock it must be to marry men immi-
grating to Wyoming, to find themselves
for the first time in their lives forced to
see at their hresides a legal aud political
equal"

lnG Herd on the North Platte.

Ing Herd on the North Platte.
1T was in the summer of 1S49. A
lot Of Californians We're in camp on
the North Platte. in the vicinity of
Chimney Rock. which is a landmark
now of former times. The Californi-
ans concluded they would like some
buffalo steak out of a herd they saw
grazing in the distance. 1t was no I'M
common sightin those days. But you
won't see it any more. No more buf-
falo, and never will be again. The
party | mentioned started out to run
down one of the herd. Witcher took
the north side of the herd, and his
friends came up on the south and
west sides. That stampeded the
herd, for the boys had fired on the
buffalo.
They took a header toward Witch
G. who was on horseback. He saw
them coming, and he knew they
wouldn't turn aside for him. He had
seen them run before. In spite of the
taken. He saw the herd gaining on
Inn, a0i he began thinking. Hshad
been in many an Indian skirmish,
and / reckon a man has TO think as
quickly in a time like that as he ever
does in this life WItcher had his
mind made up what TO do by the
time he was ov rtaken, provided he
wasn't trample to death before he
could dp it.
The forem Il of the herd, an old
bull, came NJ IN him and gored his
horse to death almost instantly.
Witcher was an athlete and as quick
rs a cat. H leaped upon the back
of the buffalo and grasped his shaggy
name with both hands. That only
accelerated the speed of the buffalo.
Witcher real Zed that he had saved
himself for the time being. But he
heard the snorting, believing, infuri
ated stampede behind him. His ami
NAL might be run down or he might
lose his grip and fall to be trampled
under hundreds of feet at any mo
ment. Pandemonium on foot was
gaining ON him. He had TO do some
more quick thinking. He knew his
only solution was for his buffalo 10
fall back to the rear, and this Ii how
he did it:
He had a long knife. such as the
forty-nlners carried in those days.
He managed TO getit out. and hanging
on for life with one hand he reached
with his knife one side of the neck of
the buffalo and slashed into it. The
animal leaped like a maSdenei devil
at the thrust. and Witcher held on
like a tick on a country dog. Quicker
than it takes to I'll il he changed the
knife TO the other hand and made "a
slit on the other side of the animals
neck. The blood spurted from both
Gdes and stained the ground ove
which Witcher was going at a rate
that was too much for his comfort.
But very soon the animal commenced
- weaken.
SLOWLY he began 10 fall back, and
Tally all the others had passed him
- the race in which he had had the
oandoff. The animal fell, and Witch
- jumped from the back of the buff
10 which had saved his life. Under
any other circumstances to have
Killed. that which had saved him
would not have been like Witcher.
But this was a case where it admitted
no sorrow. A man would kill a
dozen buffalo in those days TO save
his own life. Chicago Herald.
