The steamship Numidian arrived yes

She brought $500 tons of cargo, and two
cabin and fourteen steerage passengers
and niEe cattlemen. OF the steerage pas
sengers, Inspector Fogg detained nine
Russians who were absolutely without
money, One family consisted of the faith

while they had tickets to Boston, they
did not have even cent of money. A

There is strong feeling of admiration
on Commercial wharf for the ten year
old son of Sidney Harvey of the tug
Sampson. He and his brother, two years
younger, were playing about the tug
when the brother fell overheard. With
out the least hesitation he sprang after
him, caught him just in time, seized a
rope and held on until their father reach

a close call for the boys as the little hero

siderable Part In History.
4 The Armenians are civilized people,
people of great natural gifts and peo-
pie who have played considerable part
in history, says the Century. Since their
ancient monarchy, which had suffered
severely in the long and desolating wars
between the Roman and Persian empires
rom the third to the seventh century Of
our era, was finally destroyed by the
Seljuklan Turks, a large part Of the
race has been forced to migrate from it's
ancient seats at the headWateTs of the
Euphrates, Tigris and Aras.
Some OF them went southwest to the
mountains fastnesses Of Cilicia, where
another Armenian kingdom grew up in
the twelfth century. Others drifted into
Persia Others moved northeastward
and now form large, Industrious and
prosperous population in Russian Trans
| caucasia. where many have entered the
military or civil service of the czar and
risen, as the Armenians used to riseslong
ago in the Byzantine empire, to posts OF
distinction and power. Russia's three
| best generals in her last campaigns
against the Turks were ArIuenians.
| Others again have scattered themselves
over the cities of Asia Minor and south
eastern Europe, where much of tho local
| trade is in their hands. But large num-
her, roughly estimated at from 1, 800, O0C

I DON'T WANTgTo SAIL IN YOUR
POND"

Adapted to the music of popular song
and dedicated to the Earl of D-nr-v-n.
Once twossmall sturdy boys
Sailed side by side
Two listle "dinky" boats
On summer tide.
Little new sailor suits,
Full and completes
Stout little leather boots
On their small feet.
Little white sailor hats,
Anchors in blue
Everything trim and neat,
Everything new.
Sailing their tiny boats
Happy they play'd.
Then Number One spoke
And thus he said:
Chorus
You have got pretty mug
Which my grandma gave your pa;
would like to have that mug
= 10 take back to my grandma.
Now, we have two little sailboats-
Mines the faster one, TIBET
Let US race, and he that wins
Grandma's jollyamug shall get.
"All right" said Number Two,
We'll race today;
But let us get some boys
To see fair play;
II you beat me three times,
You'll get my mug.
If beat you three times
I'll keep it snug"
Number One lost twice,
Then be got mad:
And his behavior
Was very bad.
Chorus
don't want to play on thisiside
! don't like you any more,
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sailing on the other shore,
I'll go home and tell my grandma
All about this horrid race,
How those boys all crowded round me,
How hate this nasty place
don't want to sail in your pond''-
And he stamped his little feet
Il won't ever race with you,
If you will not let me beat

man Suffrage" in Wyoming, but that
is the proud place she occupies, and her
story, and the story of the origin of wo-
man suffrage in Wyoming, is an inter
esting one. Mrs. Morris located in Wy
oming in 1867, and her kindness soon
made her the idol of the miners of South
Pass, who declared that she was the
"best man in the camp" Her views Of
woman suffrage became we'll known,
and she was so popular that every man
in South Pass would have given her the
right to vote had he possessed the power.
One of them did give her the right.
he was W. H. Bright, an ex-colonel in
the Confederate army who kept sa-
loon in South Pass. When the territory
of Wyoming was organized in 1868, he
was elected to the first Legislature. He
left his wife and baby in a boarding
house and went to Cheyenne, where he
was elected president of the territorial
council During his absence the baby
became i'll, and doctors bill used up
all Of Mrs. Bright's money. There were
100 miles of mountain road, piled high
with snow, between her and her hus-
band, and before needed funds could
reach her she was turned out of the
boarding house. Mother Morris heard
Of the young wife's troubles and like a
good Samaritan gave the wife and baby
a home.
When Colonel Bright heard OF the
kindly ministrations of Mother Morris
and remembered her longing for the
ballot be entere5 upon vigorous wo-
man suffrage campaign. On Nov. 81,
1869. he introduced bill giving every
woman in Wyoming the right to vote
and hold Office. He met with considera-
BILE opposition, but used his great power
as president of the council to such good
effect that the bill was passed and be-
came law. The next Legislature re-
pealed the law, but Governor J. A.
Campbell vetoed the repeal measure. and
when Wyoming became state the law
stood and still stands on her statute
books. Through Bright's influence
Mother Morris was appointed Justice
Of the peace, and il is said that she
made an excellent dispenser Of justice.

SPIRIT LAKE MONUMENT who were cross
ing the continent in quest of California
gold, and of these one of the most pic
turesque was that of Spirit Lake ON East
Okoboji lake, in Dickinson county. 1t
was not far from the trail of the western
emigrant trains and in 1857 had a pop
ulation of 90 persons. On the day of the
massacre four of the inhabitants hap
pened to be away. and their lives were
thus spared. OF the remaining 46 the
merciless Sioux massacred ~ and car
ried four into captivity.
Among the four was Abbie Gardner,
who was an infant at the time. She was
held captive for four months, and with
her three companions was ransomed by
the state. She married a man named
Sharp, is still living and was largely in
strumental in persuading the legislature
that the graves of the pioneers should
be marked in fitting manner. Her plea
was answered at the last session of the
general assembly, Of Iowa by the passage
of bill appropriating So, 900 for the
Spirit Lake monument. as it is called.
The monument has been erected and
will be unveiled in short time. It is
30 feet high and is formed of alternate
squares of rough and polished granite.
At the top is capstone shaped like an
arrowhead.
In addition to Mrs. Sharp another
survivor. Mrs. Marble, is still living.
Mrs. Sharp now owns the cabin and
grounds where the massacre occurred
and has established there a summer re-
sort and museum which is filed with
mementos of the original settlement
and the massacre. She also has claim
before the Indian depredations commits
sion in Washington for indemnity on
account of the loss of her fathers prop
erty at the time of the Sioux raid.

nores him altogether or gives him ter

it was done. The man who sold him a
