no homeless women no outcasts in socie-

children. Each woman has a place in
society and in a home. She is not only a
helpmate to her husband hut a helper in

Mormon possesses the more prosperous he
becomes, For the women in plural mar
riage are al. Industrious. They weave,
they spin, they sew, they cultivate their
gardens. they vote in municipal affairs.
Are Gentle women so energtic? 1t seems
even now as if the Mormon women, de-
privd Of an institution which elevated

wisdom of the law.
Yes. from a domestic standpoint plu-

Each wife greets q new wife with hospi-

TO respect this sister wife and TO love
her. They wait upon one another in sick

Col. Bucks Toxic Residence.
New York. Aug. 28.-Plans have been
drawn and specifications written for the
first steel sky-scraper in Japan. 1t is to
be erected in Toxic, near the residence
Of the present American minister to Japan.
The work was awarded to w. ]. Bond,
an architect of South Dakota, who, i'm
mediately upon receiving the contract,
packed up his goods and departed for the
Land Of the Rising Sun to carry it out.
In a land of seismic disturbances like
Japan, where slmoons. earthquakes and
tornadoes are common occurrences at GER
tain seasons of the year, it has never been
thought practical to erect tall building.
The one or two story house of straw, of
earth, or of wood was considered the best
architectural feat that could be accom-
plished.
This new building will be supplied with
steam engines, electric generators, steam
boilers electric wires, steam heat pumps,
drums, water supply and elevators.
