woman with gold spectacles and an Alpine
nat, lis to get books and use them. The
printing presses are at work for us and
there Is no excuse for our sitting around
making tides and splash towels when we
might just as well have the benefit of all

Yes, indeed" murmured the little woman
who had been gazing at her with trustfu
admiration.
What has been the means throughout
an history OF elevating one class of man
Kind to a position in which it could hold
others in subjection? Tell me that"

tits education; that's what It Is. From
the time when the Egyptian priests utilized
superior knowledge OF science to convince
their fellow men that they were maglcians
until the present day, when obstacles of
all kinds are set up to prevent the admis-
sion of women to colleges, education has
been held and cherished as the chief weapon
OF tyranny"
And, to prevent another awkward pause,
the little woman said she thought 1t was
mean trick.
But the imposition is reaching its end.
While these men who unblushingly
molopolize the offices and compile d1cu-
ments to be published at the taxpayers ex-
pense imagine they are only erecting monu-
ments to their vanity, they are in reality
putting into our hands the means of their
own humilatlon"
Are those books that the government
publishes easily gotten?" asked the little
woman.
They are to be had for the asking"

Indian Summer.

The beautiful tradition concerning the
origin of Indian summer is revived by
the Muskegon. (Mich.) News in the fol-
lowing:
The legend runs somewhat in this
wise: High up in the heavens the sun
god, he whose symbol is the white bird,
WakehOn, looked down upon the earth
and smiled to himself to see how well
he had performed his labors Of the year.
Now, the sun god is not the One-not, Ta-
ron-ya-wago, the holder of the heavens;
no, he is only the Manito of the sun
which is the heart of the sky. He is fat
and fair and lazy and sometimes he is
cross and very much out of temper, and
at these times earth, sky, air and water
all feel his frowns, and often, too, he is
good humOred, and then things rejoice
in mis- smiles. But, looking down and
seeing all well done-all the grain
rlpened and gathered, all the fruit per-
fected and stored, the meadows lying
tranquil, the forests still and peaceful,
the game abundant-then the ManitO
grew restive and bethought himself that
he was much in need of respite from
such exceedingly good behavior-of
which he sometimes grew very tired. He
was not much given to thinking, but he
set himself to it now to find some speedy
way of indulging in such mischievous
pranks as he felt disposed. The better
to help his meditations he filled and
lighted his calumet, his mighty peace
pipe, and sat down to his museings.
After long time he hit upon a plan
that filled him with glee.
'Aha!" he cried, II will get me up and
away to the far frozen northland, where

FOR FAMILY READING.

The board of health appointed It's in
spectors, the commissioner OF police Sc
lected a chief, a captain for each class,
and policemen, and the judges named a
clerk of the court. Civil service rules
were to have been used to regulate all
appointments, but they were not ready
in time.
The experiment lasted until the close
OF the school on August TO- and the re-
suits were all that had been expected
On the closing day the mayor, boy
some II years Of age, with Mr.. GilPs
help, composed letter to the mayor
of New York, inviting him to pay visit
to the mayor of the school city. Two
couriers were dispatched forthwith to
the city hall. Mayor Strong was i'm
mersed in heap of official papers pre-
paratory to his departure for Monmouth
Beach that afternoon. But upon reading
the letter from the other mayor his face
relaxed, he gave few whispered in
structions, and in ten minutes his car
riage was up to the door and he was
fastening off to visit the experiment.
After shaking hands with the mayor,
he insisted upon meeting all the other
city officials, and then inquired as to the
process Of law in the city. He was
hugely delighted when he was told that
a regular trial had been held the week
before, that a police captain, accused of
dereliction of duty, had been the pris-
oner, and that he had been convicted
and dismissed from the service. There
upon Mayor Strong asked that the court
be brought before him. His amusement
was great when he saw that one OF the
judges was girl. But the crowning
feature to Mr.. Strong was when the
police force was assembled for his bene-
fit, and he discovered that more than
half of the policemen were girls The
offense of which the police captain was
convicted was conduct unbecoming
gentleman and an officer" while the
school was off on a picnic. His was the
only breach OF. the public peace serious
enough during the existence Of the city
to make trial necessary.
