and during the second campaign she
made forty speeches and suffrage carried

Cannon apd asked her if she would con-

would. The rest was easy.
Mrs. Cannon is not looking for any
Particular reforms. She is in favor OF all
reforms that are good, and, being cul-

nave an eye to sanitary measures. Being
woman, she will be interested in edu-

is A BELIEVER IN POLYGAMY.
In the matter of polygamy, Mrs. Can
non believes that in the present condi-
zion OF society 1t is good thing for
women. A fourth wife has more liberty
than whole one. She is only one fourth
the slave that a whole wife is. AS
woman's influence on man grows man
will become less dominating, have more
regard for the feelings and liberty of his
life companion, and when woman's vic
tory is completely won polygamy will
disappear, for each member of both sexes
will find his or her affinity, and both
will be perfectly happy.

present; women are promised to the
future"

father and mother were Mormons. AL
though the statutes of the United States
have declared polygamy is immoral and
that 1t shall not be, such legislation does
not make it SO, unless Congress is infalli-
BILE in religious matters, nor does an act

Practically, she contends, Mormouism
is good system. 1t avoids petty Jeal-

his wives. He is not in love with only

Fleet of Foot.

Captain e. L. Scott Of the famous
Seventh United States cavalry relates
some marvellous tales of the powers of
endurance and feetness of foot of the
members of l. troop of his regiment,
which is composed of Chiricahua Apache
Indians from Arizona. He relates that
on one occasion full grown and able
bodied deer ran through the cavalry
camp, and instantly, with series Of wild
ye1ls, the Indians gave pursuit on foot,
and by exceeding swiftness and skill
they actually ran it down, caught it
about nine miles from camp and brought
it in unframed.
On one occasion nine of them were
returning to camp. after full day Of
hard work, riding upon a governments
wagon drawn by mule team. A coyote
was seen close by the trail, pursuing a
young calf. Instantly the fatigues Of
the days labor were forgotten, the dus-
ky driver, in his wild enthusiasm, even
forgetting the team, and the whole gave
chase, and after wild, yelling, scram-
bling chase of two hours the wolf was
captured, tied, gagged and packed into
camp. Themules had meantime quietly
and decorously wendell their way to
camp.
This seems strange to the average
paleface, and the Sioux look upon these
wonderful feats as something approach
ing the supernatural. This, in short,
indicates the difference which different
methods Of life, pursued through genera
tions. makes in'people of the same gen.
eral race. The paleface would fall BY
the wayside in mile, the Sioux would
shrug his shoulders, grunt and lie down
or would fly to his trusty pony. On

than any other man living, without re-

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. l4-For
the first time, perhaps. in American his
tory, woman has been elected to the
upper house of legislature. She is
Martha Hughes Cannon, and she will
vote on all laws to be made for this new
state during the coming session.
Mrs. Cannon lives in this CITY. She
is Democrat, and her opponent on the
Republican side was Angus NJ. Cannon.
She was slected over her spouse by 1900
veJes. This fact is the best indication
in the world how women have progressed
in Utah.
Mrs Cannon believes in polygamy. and
is victim of it, if victim she can be
called, when she can whip her lord and
master at the polls. She is the fourth
wife Of her husband. She has three
children, who, with her, live in neat

such as one might have expected in the
days when people were wondering wheth-

somewhat of cross between real side

very bsatifuul and its evident antiquity

The State of Utah, says Mrs. Cannon,
is controlled by women. About 60 per
cent OF its population is made up of
women. AS lot they are pretty sue

bringing up their children under a
microscope or wrapped in blanket.
Under polygamy women never pauperize
men, and the result is that Mormon
mothers never raise pauper children.
Her people, she says. are prosperous and
happy.
There has been no talk of hard times

The Face OF tie CHILD.

I dare say l may have told you what
Tennyson said of the Sistine Child,
which he then knew only by engraving.
He first thought the expression Of hfz
face, as also the attitude, almost too
solemn even for the Christ within. Bot
some time after, when A. T. was mar
