FIRST WOMEN TO CROSS THE
CONTINENT.
From the Ladies Home journal.

From the Ladies' Home journal.
The first wedding tour across the cond-
nent was i'm 1886. There were two couples,
Marcus Whitman, Nj. D., ana the Rev.
H. H. Spaulding, and their brides. They
made the Journey of $500 miles, occupy
ing seven months in wagon, the FIRST 10
cross the continent. DR.. Whitman, haV-
ing visited the region before, was guide
to the new home in oregon. He was the
first to make known its value to the
United States. south Pass is reached
writes Mr. Weed of the famous journey,
"thc highest plateau, the divide OF the
continent. - the pass the traveller reads
the inscription, Fremont, lSi2,' All honor
due to the Pathfinder. but also to the
two hcroines who had gone through six
years before his claimed discovery. Let
another inscription read: Mrs. whitman
and Mrs. SpaulJing, 1886
1T is the Fourth of July. The party
pauses in its journey Patriotic words are
spoken as the Bible and tlag are taken
from the wagon. The one is laid on a
blanket spread upon the grass, the other
is raised over all. The knceiing company
offer prayer and praise, and reverenty
take possession of the region beyond in
the name of God and of the United
States The only human witnesses to the
scene are the two Nez Perce lads who wit

Bcrmuda's Hog Money.

From the Chicago News.
Hog n oney is the queer name by which
the brass money which was coined in
bermuda in 1915 came to be known. ON
the face of it was a hog; on the other
side a ship OF that period. The coins are
very rare and priced by collectors. The
history of this device is curious and in
tcrcStng. a Spanish vessel commanded
by Juan BermCdcz. and on its way back
to cuba with a cargo of hogs, was
wrecked there. This was i'm 1915 Later
in the same century, when the English
discovered this land, they found a coun-
try inhabited by hogs. White the money
was certainly not artistic or beautiful, 1t
had the merit of individuality, being alb
solutely unique in the world of coins.

John could not but feel just little
shade Of annoyance. He was cold, very
tired, and had hoped to get couple Of
hours of sleep before going down town.
But he was altogether too good fellow
to let considerations of his personal
comfort stand in the way of service to u
friend in need. So, with patient sigh,
he donncd his overcoat again and start
ed ont, saying TO himself that of course
il could only be some trivial scrape
Chef had got into, one that might
doubtless be squared with the com
plainant" easily after he had taken the
lad out on bail and given him break
fast. Had John Latham been more
than half awake it would probably have

charges are not customarily confined at

search their rooms. But in his condition

followed Immediately by the voice that
more readily than any other commanded
her recognition, and, upon the impulse
OF the moment, leaping from her bed
she had crossed the little room at a
bound TO her mothers side with that
startling announcement.
What ON earth brings him here at

A hack, mamma, responded Addie
