A Western Heroine.

Not all the herOism of which West
ern women are capable comes along
the line of startling reforms or new
departures in customs of living. The
every day experiences of many 'front.'
| Ter woman are not less notable. Such
was the case with Mrs. Mclean who,
with her husband, settled on the
Nebraska frontier early in the '7Os.
Her bravery is yet told of by the cat
tlemen who then drove their great
herds up through the Platte bottoms.
Her husband had with great diff
Guilty gotten together bunch Of
cows, about fifty in all, and was en-
deavoring to start little herd in or
der to rescue his family from the
poverty which hung over the claim.
Mrs. Mclean had the herding Of
them, as we'll as the care of the
house. One day, when her husband
had gone twenty miles to the store,
she was compelled to leave the cattle
81 azing while she looked after sick
baby at home. Suddenly she saw
two men ride from behind the hills
and start the cattle off full canter,
abductlng the whole bunch. She
wasted not minute, but, mounting
her bronco, was after them.
The men evidently thought them
selves undiscovered, and in the hustle
of hurrying on the stock did not hear
the patteling hoofs of the pucsuer's
pony as she came cantering up be-
hind. Suddenly one of the men gave
a yell and tumbled backward off his
saddle, with the moose Of lariat
tight around his throat Frightened,
the other turned to see a furious
woman facing him. says writer in
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
what are you doing?" she demand
ed, lercely.
who are you?" he responded, with
equal gruffness.
Il own these cattle, and you have
got to help me drive them back where
you got them"
AS she held cooked revolver to-
ward his head he decided to submit,
and, with her following closely, rode
around the scattered herd and turned
their heads homeward. For three
miles the stock was driven, and then,
with warning not to look back
ward, the depredator was dismissed.
He fed without a backward glance.
His companion, choked to death
and with neck broken, was found on
the prairie, but there was never any
inquiry as to the manner of his TAX
ing off. 1t was enough in those days,
as it is now, to know that he had
been engaged in cattle stealing. For
such the prairies have scant pity.

family prayers. Mrs. Young says her
married life was supremely happy.
Il would sacrifice anything for the
surviving wives of President Young, D
she remarked, land their feeling to-
ward me, I think, is the same"
Speaking of the position of the
Mormon Church in this country, Mrs.
Young said: "The ill-feeling that has
heretofore existed toward the Nor
mon Church is fast dying out, and
the people of Utah have learned to
treat the Mormons as any other re-
ligious body. AS old preiudices dis
appear the good work of the Mormon
Church becomes apparent. Through
the tithing house this church distrib-
utes more goods to the poor each year
than any other church organization,
the amount in Salt Lake City alone
being $780, 900 annually. Homes are
built up and cooperation practiced
with beneficial results. The misrep-
reservations of the past are being
supplanted by the truths Of the pres
ent, which fact points to a bright
future for the church"

feet Oft the grass, their names of the
stones of the old castle, and their
fingers off t he property in the family
residence.
The house has much to interest
the visitor. The various rooms of
the mansion abound with pictures
and statuary, photographs of Mr..
Gladstone himself being numerously
displayed in the parlors and in vari-
Gus other rooms. All the members
Of his immediate family live here
with him excepting one son, the rec
tor of the Hawarden Church, who
resides in the rectory. The little
village church, by the way, is almost
as famous and nearly as old as the
crumbling castle. There was church
on the site in the eighth century,
wnen the curious incident occurred
of the cross falling and hurting
woman. The people Of the town,
considering that there was something
uncanny about the accident, took the
cross and threw it into the sea. 1t
was, to their astonishment however,
washed on shore at Chester, where it
was seized upon as a very precious
relic and set up in the race track,
where it or it's successor still stands.
During the recess Of Parliament
the church is always thronged with
townspeople and visitors, for every
day Mr. Gladstone is present at
morning prayers, walking briskly
over from the mansion and as briskly
back to breakfast after the prayers
are ended. On Sundays he some
times assists in the service by read
ing portions of it, and to hear the
Church of England service read by
a premier of Great Britain is an in
cident that rarely occurs in the ex-
perience of the ordinary individual.
The church is a plain, unpretentious
little affair, which is kept so pur-
posely by the rector, who discourages
even so much style as is involved in
cushioning the pews, believing, as he
does, that this creates an invidiOus
distinction among the attendants, so
Mr.. Gladstone and his family sit on
the bare benches.
One of the most pleasing features
of the Hawarden life is the un-
bounded reverence shown by every
body in the neighborhood for the
principal occupant of the Hawarden
house. The Welsh are very warm
hearted people, and everywhere he
goes Mr.. Gladstone is treated with a
considerable that shows how hearty
Aand sincere is the respect felt for him.
Men stand at the wayside and I'M
cover as he walks by; women curtesy
in the quaint old Welsh fashion, and
every window in the village is filed
with heads as the great man passes.
They have seen him thousands of
times, but that fact does not in the
least diminish either their interest or
their reverence, and, if sure Of moth
ing else, they are profoundly con-
vinced that there is no greater man
on the face of the earth than the mas:
ter of Hawarden.

NINE WIVES REMAIN.
Widows of Brigham Young Who Are Now

Widows of Brigham Young Who Are Now
Living.
OF the nineteen wives whom the
great head Of the Mormon Church,
Brigham Young, married, nine are
now living at Salt Lake City, Utah.
The most interesting of these women
is Amelia Folsom Young, the seven
tenth wife and the favorite of her
husband. She was born at Buffalo
in 1888, and in 1860 her family moved
West and joined the Mormon Church.
She and Brigham Young saw each
other. It was case of love at first
sight and they soon welded. Mrs.
Young has lately been interviewed
as to her married life, and what she
says is very interesting. Each Of
Young's wives, she says, had a sep
arate room in his dwelling, and his
household altogether numbered sew

a harness that does not fit, or which
is rough and painful to the animal,
NAV be unknown, but one of the first
duties on taking horse out for

be kept clean and we'll oiled, in order

A NEW sCHEME.

COunect Asheville and Hender-
sOnville by an Electric Railway.
The Hendersonville Times advocate
the construction of an electric railway
line between Asheville and her pretty sis.
ter. Hendersonville. Going on to give
several reasons why such an enterprise
would be profitable, the Times says:
I'm the first place. the amount of grad
ing would be so small that the cost
would be nominal; it would require three
power plants to operate 1t, one at this
end. one about Arden. and one at Ashe-
vile. The plant at this end could be util-
lied by our town authorities and citizens
in the way of electric lights, thus bring
ing in revenue. With schedule to
leaye each end of the line every two
hours there would be no lack of patron.
age both winter and summer. In the
summer especially would this line b.
made to pay, There would be a con.
tinual flow of travel between the two
places and all along the line.
This would open up one OF the grand
est pleasure trips. not to say anv hing
of the business conveniences in this
country. The VANDERBILT estate would
be great drawing card for visitors, and
the many delightful and romantic spots
through which the road extended would
attract thousands of picnic and outing
parties every summer. Let US have the
road by all means. What will our Ashc-
vile friends say to such a scheme''

That Is, II No Adverse CirCum-

Back-Ds finite Iodustrial Gain

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-R. G. Dun. &:
Co. S review saws: The increase in tht
number OF hands employed adds to the
purchasing power of the people, and
dealers stocks are so reduced that any
sien OF larger consumption quickly gives
mills more orders In short the condi-
tions are such that if not interrupted bv
adverse circumstances they will give q
quick revival of business.
The industrial gain is more definite
than week ago. few establishments
have stopped work, while many have
resumed or increased production, and
though these are not works employing
thousands each, the aggregate increase
is considerable. Reductions in wages
continue, and about quarter of them
are OF % per cent, the rest ranging
from to 7 per cent.
In no direction are the quotations OF
manufactured products higher; but while
some have actually declined, the general
tone is somewhat stronger.
