WANTS 4 BLANKET DIVORCE
Yellow Bonnet Has -Four Wives and
Wishes to Be Free.
The Petitioner Is an Indian and Re-
cent Convert to the Chris
tian Religion.

wichita, Kan, Sept 23.-Yellow Bon
net. a Cheyenne Indian. has applied for
blanket divorce from four wives at To-
lOga, Okla. 1t 10 the first time that an In
dian has sued for a divorce in Oklahoma.
Yellow Bonnet gives as his reasons for
his action that he has recently embraced
the Christian religion and cannot live
poIygamous life: also that his wives have
refused to become Christians. He asks for
the custody of only one of his nineteen chill
dren.
1t was at first thought that 1t was not
necessary TO ask for a divorce, as the laws
of Oklahoma forbid polygamy. A few
lawyers held TO that idea, but other law
yers contended that, as he married the
four wives under the tribal laws, recog-
nized partially by the Government. and
before the statutes Of Oklahoma existed,
he could not be separated from them except
by process of the laws now prevailing.
This opinion finally prevailed, aud the
divorce application was filed. That Vel
low Bonnet is sincere in preferring Chris
tianity to four wives is sho own by the
fact that each of the wives and children
has now nice allotment of land and sew
eral hundred dollars of trust funds coming
to them from the Government.
The wives will consent only tD
'blanket" divorce, for they are afraid To
allow the cases to be taken up separately
for fear that Yellow Bonnet. after getting
rid of three Of them. would keep the
fourth, and, as there is intense jealousy
existing among them. the attorneys could
not persuade them to consent to single suits.

least pleasant ways of achieving an edu-
cation.
The greatest danger that menaces the
struggling girl at college is that her health
will break down under the double strain of
study and work Here 1t is that the young
man in similar circumstances has the ad-
vantage, for reasons that are too plain to
need pointing out. The wisest course is first
10 earn sufficient money for one year, either
by teaching in schools or by some trade or
profession. Every summer few more girls
follow the time -hoEored example OF men stu
dents and earn nice sum nf money by work
ing in some capacity in the resort hotels and
boarding houses. With this to start on,
healthy, capable girl would be quite justi-
fled in commencing her college career. and
whatever institution she may select she
may feel assured that the authorities are in
sympathy with her and will give her every
assistance in their power. One girl who be-
gan the course last year at large college
with no other provision than the money she
had saved from years teaching in small
country school found that she could, by
making occasional trips to the city, earn Il
considerable sum of money by shopping for
the other students and teachers.
She registered at all the principal stores.
and they allowed her 10 per cent on all
purchases. so that she was able la supply
the articles 10 her fellow students ut the
regular prices She had naturally good
taste, and she eexertedherselftokeep abreast
with the latest fashions. so that the other
girls grew to depend un her Judgment.
This. of course, refers to the larger
colleges: that is. the colleges where the
expenses range from S40O year up In
some of the Western colleges. and in the
State universities, while there are fewer
opportunities for earning money, the ex.
penses are lower. the tuition in some of
them being free, SO that the girl WIN stops
to earn noncy at the end of each year before
proceeding to the next would probably find
her path not al all difficult one.

bers of fifteen branch organizations. It's
scholarships are assigned as loans to appii-
cants passing without condition the en-
rance examinations held by the college.
During the year 1S93'94 these loans
numbered TWENTY-FIVE, and amounted to
$4,465, in sums varying from 500 to
$40O. The college also possesses a loan
fund, from which amounts are loaned
to applicants without interest. In addi-
ion there are numerous full and partial
scholarships with which the college has
been endowed from time to time All the
larger colleges have similar funds and
scholarships, though on smaller scale
than at vassar
As, however, there are, on an average,
about q dozen applicants for every scholar
