road into the jealousy guarded field Of
politics and have crowded out many Of
the stronger" sex.
One of the most interesting and pic
turesque of these female politicians is
Mrs Mary Maryland Pickerell, who has
recently made a sensation in Denver in
the character of garbage contractor Of
the city. There Is nothing Of the es-
thete about Mrs. Pickerell She is ath-
letic rather than aesthetic. AS new
woman she is hummer. She is big and
muscular looking, and her square jaw
indicates her determined character.
Mrs Pickerell owns and manages two
ranches near Denver and runs board
ing house in the city. Still she had some
spare time on her hands, so she set out
to take hand in politics. She had heard
that the garbage collecting Of the city
was done at an exorbitant price, so she
determined to do it herself. When the
mayor called for bids, Mrs. Pickerell
put in one Offering to do the work for
less than half the sum that had former
~ been paid. She was awarded the con-
tract, but the newspapers ridiculed her
enterprise and predicted that she would
soon give up the job after she had lost a
few hundred dollars
But Mrs. Pickerel had plan Of her
own She did not intend to lose any
money, and she had no idea Of giving
up. 1t seems that the work had previous
ly been done in haphazard, careless
fashion, and that the men who had hog
ranches outside the city were allowed to
do most of the garbage collecting. The
first thing the new contractor did was
to inform the hog raisers that if they
wished to collect any more garbage to
feed to their stock they must get per-
NIT from her and pay for the privilege.
This decision almost created a riot.
The hog men swore that they would do
no such thing. They went on gathering
garbage as usual, but for one night only.
Then Mrs. Pickerel had q lot Of them
arrested and fined. Upon that the hog
men capitulated. They are now working
under the regulations which Mrs. Pick
erell has made for them in the meekest
manner possible.
Those who knew the story Of Mrs.
Pickerell's life were not at all surprised
that she conquered the hardy hog men.
She has often been victorious under still
more adverse circumstances She told
some of her experiences to the reporters
not long ago, after she had acquired
fame. She was born in Arkansas on a
farm and, to use her own language,
worked like a horse until I was 16
years old" One day while she was
blowing in the field. bare Of head and
feet, along came Francis Maryland Pick

sport, but of a good family" He stop
ped to talk to Mary, and they fell in love
at first sight. She left the pillow in the
furrow and eloped with him.
After that they drifted to Denver,
where Frank was taken sick, and Mary

ed her husband as her deputy and went
on the hunt for oleo. Mr.. Clemmer, by
the way, is big, ablebodied fellow, and
he went where his wife and superior of.
ficer ordered him to CO. The oleo sellers
declared truce, and now every dairy
man in the state Of Colorado regards
Mrs. Clemmer as his guardian angel
Then there is the commissioner Of
horticulture and agriculture. Mrs. Mar
tina A. Shute holds this Office, and she
knows as much about fruit growing as
any man in the west. She has been q
practical farmer herself and held for
several years the office Of secretary to
the state board Of agriculture. Mrs
Shute was in charge Of the Colorado ag-
ricultural exhibit at the Worlds fair.
Her husband is a crippled veteran, and
she is the breadwinner for the family.
DR.. Una G. Roberts Of Denver has the
distinction Of being the only woman in
Colorado and perhaps in the country
who holds the position Of sanitary In
spector. She is also detailed as medical
inspector. DR.. Roberts is graduate Of
a medical college and has been a prac.
ticing physician in Denver for several
years.
Mrs. Roberts met with opposition on
the first day that she assumed her off,
cial duties. She attired herself in a
bright blue dress Of fashionable cut
and a stylish coat adorned with big
brass buttons and the shield Of the
health police. Her district was prac-
t1cally the whole city, and she was told
that she could demand free transporta-
ton on the street cars. The first time
she boarded trolley car and rode free
on the strength Of her badge the con-
ductor was puzzled and reported the
case to the superintendent, who ordered
that no women were to be allowed free
passage. But Mrs Roberts persisted in
her right to ride without paying, backed
it up with an order Of the health board
and the superintendent Of the road was
obliged to rescind his order.
DR.. Roberts duties are sin9ularly
unfeminine, but she does not seem to
mind prowling about alleys and look
ing up cases Of contagious diseases. She
believes that the Colorado new woman
Is equal to almost any task, and the

that the mountain air is responsible for
