women Hypnotized Him.

Jesse Johnson, son of a wealthy Mis-
sissippi cotton planter, has filed a suit
for divorce at Perry, o. T., against his
wife, Mariana Johnson. He was in love
with a girl at home of foreign birth.
His father did not want him to marry
at II and sent him to school at Worces-
ter, Mass. During the first vacation the
father sent him to Asbury Park for the
summer to keep him from his first love.
There he met a Miss Mynell, who was
there with her parents and said her
home was New York city. She was
many years Johnson's senior. Johnson
said the woman hypnotized him, and
they were married, the woman paying
the expenses. A few days later she left,
and he has never seen nor heard of her
since. Chicago Tribune.

Favor Of the Young Man-Story Reads
Like q Romance-A Case Of Pluck and
Perseverance.
When the West Point Military acad-
envy opens for the next school year 1T
will have among the fresh arrivals q
remarkable young man from Kansas
who bears the name Of John McCul-
Tough. The Kansas City Journal, refer
ring to his recent appointment, speaks
Of it as an illustration of what pluck
and perseverance will accomplish. The
story of this boy reads like a delightful
He is a farmers son, and the

house" opens its door to seekers for
knowledge. The Journal is authority
for the statement that this boy has new
er been to school, the circumstances of
the family being such as to prohibit him
from the enjoyment of that privilege.
Instead OF going from home to attend
school he staid at home and worked
full time ON the farm. But there was
time for study at night, and he made
use Of it to such good purpose that he
passed a competitive examination
against a large number of other youths
who had the advantage of extensive
school training"
The law provides that a candidate for
West Point must not be over 81 years
when appointed. Young Mccullough
had passed his twenty-first birthday.
But Secretary Lamont exercised a wise
discretion III ruling that he was 81 I'M

in which he successfully competed with
many bright young men from various
schools of good repute, young McCul-
Tough drove 800 miles-and Kansas
miles are long-in a wagon, camping
out at night. 1t is not strange that Sec
rotary Lamont was deeply impressed
when he learned that such a champion
had come up out of the wilderness and
vanquished the best products of the best
families and the most approved training
schools. We hope the future of this
youth will meet the expectations that
are justified by his past. He will find at

Who Miss Alice Brown Is.

"Who is Miss Alice Brown?' is still
a question put by some reading people,
says an ~appreciative writer in the Bos-
ton Transcript. Her journey to England
with Miss Louise Imogen Quincy has
brought her name into current para
graphs, but it is her work that speaks
for her. A few years ago people used to
ask in the same way, "Who is Miss
Wilkins?" Now everybody knows that
she is a quiet New England woman, all
alone in the world, who lives in the
house of friends in serene. idyllic Ran
dolph, and there produces some of the
most artistic work in prose Of our gen.
GRAFTON. Five years ago it was neces
sary to foretell her ps1eaCn. fame Tor
those who had not rea@: her first book
five years hence it will not be necessary
more than it now is for Mary Wilkins
to define the personality of Alice Brown
to insure consideration for her poetic
work. Much thus far is in poetry. No
poem on Edwin Booth reached the sus-
tanned height of hers. The lyric lowell
ness Of the Christmas poem beginning,
"Sweet is the time for joyous folk,
sang itself into many memories.
There has been 10 volume of the poet
nv Of Alice Brown, but when it comes
all who care for the genuine poets gift
and the scholars attainments will well
come it. Her stories in the magazines
show another facet Of her many sided
power. A volume Of them entitled
meadow Grass" has been published.

to them the awakening that they ought
to do something more in the society to
which they belong than has hitherto
fallen to their lot. What that something
is they are not yet quite sure, but they
think they have a mission. Instead,
however, of organizing meetings, mount
ing platforms and making ~declamatory
speeches demanding their rights, they
have presented apeaceful petition to the
male elders merely asking for permits

these duties are the men are left to de-
