her duties. She is a woman of sterling
character and modest, unassuming de-
meanor.
II was born in the town of Lee, Berk-
shire county, Massachusetts, said she,
and she evidently is proud of her New
England origin. My father, Nelson Klock,
Mohawk Valley German stock, moved to

and all the education l received in schools
was in the Massachusetts Academy of my

suffrage for many years, has not yet sent
woman to the Legislature.
The three women legislators of Colorado
are.essentially womanly women, and do
not at all corresond to the usual descrip-
ton of the class of woman suffragists.
When equal suffrage became a settled
fact the Republican party of Colorad 5
although at the outset opposed to the pro-
vantage of the situation to secure as
strong a following from the voters as pos
sible, and consequently the social fad
among the women during the campaign
was to take an interest in political affairs.
Society in Denver stood for the Repub-
lican party, and the adIoit campaign
managers saw that it would be good
politics to name woman or two. for the
Legislative ticket from Arapahoe county.
Pueblo was in close touch with the City
of Denver, and, accordingly, woman
was there placed upon the Legislative
ticket.
The session'of the Legislature had hard
ly settled down into working order before
it became apparent that the advent of
the women had a marked effect upon the
conduct of affairs. II doubted the ex-
pediency of this departure" said Mrs.
Klock, member from Arapahoe to the
Worldcorrespondent, partly because of our
inexperience and partly because of lack
of ability to justly and properly perform
the duties intrusted to us, but after two
weeks of actual experience am now fully
convinced that in legislative assemblies
women have a position where they can
do great deal for humanity. There are
but three of us here, but next time there
will be more. Three can do something
if necessary, we can protest, but, anyway,
we can assist, so far as we are able, to
legislate in the best interests of the COM
monwealth."
Mrs. Frances Klock is the most matronly
one of the three, and she is disposed to
stand guard over the two younger lady
members. Quiet and dignified in bearing,
not disposed to talk much either in pri-
vate conversation or on the floor she al

Yokohama, Feb. 16.-The kilograms to
date indicate that Wei Hal Wei has been
reduced and the Chinese ships captured;
yet, owing to contradictory reports, it is
feared the victory has not yet been com
plete. No particulars of the fight or the
losses on either side have come to hand.
1t would seem from the silence of the
Japanese press that the victory, if such it
prove to be-, has not been scathless. AT
least two torpedo boats have been lost and
another vessel seriously damaged. 1t is
also reported that the Chinese are adj
vancing with large force to relieve or
recapture Wei Hal Wei; also that they are
