Suffrage Progress.

The Boston Evening Transcript says
editorialiy: 1.-THE drift of things in the
direction of equal rights for women is
shown in the following chronology: In
1916 Kentucky gave school suffrage to
widows. In 1861 Kansas gave it to all
women. In 1869 Wyoming gave full
suffrage to all women, and England gave
municipal suffrage to single women and
widows. In 1876 school suffrage was
granted by Michigan and Minnesota, in
1876 by Colorado, in 1878 by New Hamp-
shire and OREGON, in 1879 by Massa-
chusetts and 1880 by Vermont and
New York. In 1881 municipal suffrage
was extended to the single women and
widows of Scotland. School suffrage
was granted by Nebraska in 1888 and by
Wisconsin in 1885.
Municipal suffrage was given to the,
single women and widows of New Bruins
wick in 1886 and school suffrage to the
women of Washington in the same year.
In 1sS7municipal suffrage was granted in
Kansas to all women, and school suffrage
was given in North and South Dakota,
New Jersey. Idaho, Arizona and Montana.
In 1891 school suffrage was granted in H.
linois. In 1893 school suffrage was grant
ed in Connecticut and full suffrage in
Colorado and New Zealand. Evidently
the common sense Of the world is work
ing around by degrees to belief in
equal rights for women. No disasters
have followed the acceptance of the prin-
Iciple elsewhere, and there is no reason TO
suppose that it will result in catastrophes
and cataclysms in Massachusetts,"

been as hard up as l have been some
times in my life think should have
taken it.
IT wouldn't blame you," answered
the justice. ''It is a constant source Of
wonder to me why in this age of enlight-
eminent and woman suffrage our women
don't learn some common seitse How
would man look walking through the
streets holding out his pocketbook to all
he meets!"
GIVE thought of scheme" said his
friend. "Now that our ladies are wear
ing vests the same as we do, why dom
they carry Car fare and loose change in
one vest pocket and bills in the other?
Then they could dispense with the peck
etbook altogether.
"Well, know this, said the justice,
"a man should never be convicted of
stealing for taking lady's pocketbook
on the street when she held it out to
him. In these times such temptation
ought to condone the offense. 1t is like

Lobenguis.

DR.. Carnegie, the missionary, says Lo-
bengula wished to enjoy some fruits of
civilization while rejecting many others.
He tolerated the presence Of few mis-.
sionaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that no coveted, but
he would do absolutely nothing to help
them. A word from him would have
filed their schools with children, but he
would not give it, The people believed
he was all powerful. 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests.
Their teeming gardens and abundance
of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power o. the king and his mindfulness
Of their wants. An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries, yet when they asked
him to send them children to teach he
would not lift finger to help them.
When Carnegie was about to go home,
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him, seeing that
he had been so indifferent to the prog
ress of missionary work. The king re-
piled, you will tell them what you
have seem"
1t was probably as we'll for Loben-
gula that he died when he did. His PEG.
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincible. His overwhelm-
ing defeat destroyed all confidence in
him as the great wonder worker of the
tribe, 81 father who by his supernatural
power could always protect his people
He could never have been king again.

freedom, who stand in sQli8phalanx in

For those who die in the contest bat

.Mx Hair Always curled Naturally

AS / promised the other day fortune
to the first hotel proprietor who pre-

heaters for their curling tongs, it is
only right should inform th=aa chat
Mr.. Dawson Of Bernets street has in
vented a contrivance for this purpose,
which, he says, can be used without
difficulty wherever the electric light is
installed. In order that I may verify
this, Mr. Dawson has been good enough
to send me heater and pair Of tongs.
I am unable to give him testimonial
because, in the first place, have no
electric light in this office, and, in the
second place, do not know how to use
curling tongs, as my hair has always
curled naturally. -Labouchere in Lon

she purchased six bottles of

A MAN NOT EASILY KILLED..

Tho New Minister to Uruguay Eas Had
Many Narrow Escapes In tho West.
A tall, slender man, with iron-gray
beard and hair and piercing eyes which
roved around under a pair OF heavy
gray eyebrows, sauntered through the
Arlington lobby at Washington the
other day. THAT is Granville Stuart,
of Montana, the new minister to Uru-
quay and Paraguay" said an old-timer
to . Star reporter. HE is on his way
70 his new post, and this is the first
time he has been east of the Mississippi
for quarter Of century. He has had
more startling adventures and hair
breadth escapes than almost any man
you ever heard of. remember one of
them we'll. Stuart was one of the FIRST
pioneers IN the territory of Montana
and was quartz crazy like the rest Of
them He was out on prospecting
trip once and had dismounted from his
horse, leaving his rife strapped to the
saddle, when the animal ran away. It
was late In the year and that night
snow began falling. He was miles
away from any habitation, In the heart
of the mountains, and in searching for
his horse he lost his bearings. He had
only q small pocketknife and his fusee
safe only contained two or three fire.
makers. The first night he was out it
grew very cold and he made fire,
which attracted some small birds.
Stuart caught about dozen Of them
and cooked them. For ten days he
wandered through the mountains with
nothing else TO eat but those little
birds. One day IN elk rubbed against
. tree within two yards Of him, but he
had nothing to kill IL with. Then a
frog crossed his path, but he was not
strong enough to catch up with it.
When he was nearly dead two Indians
found him and took him into their
camp to have fun with him. They fed
him up 20 as to get strong enough to
run while they could beat him with
tepee poles. One night he escaped,
stole . horse and got away. He got
lost in the mountains again, and dog
goned if his second horse didn't get
away from himl He wandered around
again for three or four days, and then,
when he had given up completely and
lain down to die, sorae of the party who
had gone out to hunt him up came
across hin, and carried him to camp. 1t
Is devoutly believed in Montana that
nothing can kill Granville Stuart. He
was a mighty hunter in those days, too.
He has the record Of killing sixteen elk
from one spot. without getting up. He
Is . man Of powerful mind, and will
uphold the s6ese and stripes and all
that they mean ia his new position"
