suffrage was making, Miss Couzens, who
has devoted the greater part of her life to
the cause, said; Three times | have seen
women under fire and as many times
have seen them fall, and that ignominious-
ly. l presume this will be looked upon as
treason, but it is the conclusion reached
from long experience, close observation
and rare opportunities such as have been
accorded to few women. Women in pub

is naturally home-keeper. l would ad-
wise all young women to marry and become

ment the train stopped he leaped to the
ground and ran through a shower of bull
lets to where the cottage which had been
the home of the Bankers had stood. The
sight of the house in ashes made him sick
at heart; but there was still hope-they
might have taken refuge in the station.
And facing about, he fought his way to
and through the shot-riddled door. The
agent lay upon the floor in a pool of his
own blood, but he was still alive. "Where
are they?' asked the conductor
"Among the stock cars, If they are still
alive" was the reply which came in a
faint whisper. 81 saw them leaving the
house at dusk-go to them-Tm-Tm all
right" and the conductor, having placed
the wounded man upon his bed, made for
the stock cars
Bankers, where are you?" he called 4;
and Bankers answered, only two cars
away. Now the conductor lighted his
white light and climbed into the car. The
brave Mrs. Bankers greeted him with a
smile that soon changed to tears, for in
the light of the hand-amp she saw her
baby's face, and it looked like the face of
dead child Emma" she called eXcit-
edly, but there was no answer.
as she dead?' cried the conductor fall
ing upon his knees and holding the light
close to his sweethearls face.
"No,n said Bankers, "she only tainted
when | killed this Sioux" and he gave the
dead Indian kick and rolled him out OF
the car.
"But the baby" pleaded MIS-. Bankers.
"She's all right said the husband
"Only little too much paregoric." And
so it proved.
And all this is not dream 1t is only
a scrap Of the history of the early days OF
the Union Pacific. The brave station
agent is an old man now, and one of his
legs is shorter than the other-the one that
was shot that night. The baby, having
recovered from her severe tussle with collie
and paregoric, is now one of the most
charming women in one of our charming
Western cities. The conductor of the SOL
der train is at this writing a general SUI.
perintendent of a well-known railway.
The SHOWS of forty winters have fallen up
on his wife's hair; it is almost white; but
her face is still young and handsome, and
| remember that she blushed, when telling
this story to me and recalling the fact that
she had tainted in a stock car on that wild
night at Woodriver.

Peary Ordered to California.

Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, the distin-
guished Arctic explorer, has been detached
from duty at the Brooklyn navy yard and
ordered to duty at the Mare Island navy
yard, at Vallejo, Cal. He will leave for
California the last of April. This change
of station, Lieutenant Peary says, will not
| interfere with the carrying ont of his plan
for reaching the north pole. GAN that is
needed" he says, 'is financial support. |
am waiting for some person or persons of
wealth, sufficiently interested in Arctic ex-
ploration to advance money enough to en-
able me to undertake the work in the
manner in which it ought to be undertaken.
To reach the north pole a colony of Eski-
mos should be established at some point
not farther than $50 miles from the pole.
The money is needed to maintain this col
ony until the goal is reached" Lieutenant
Peary's estimate of the cost is $3.50. 600
His plan is simple and is regarded as feas-
ible by eminent authorities.
In this connection it may be noted that
Admiral A. II. Markham, in an article on
Antarctic exploration in the North
American Review for April, expresses the
opinion that the time is ripe for another
expedition to the Antarctic region. With
steam vessel properly found and COM
manded by competent officer, he thinks
that great results could be obtained which
would confer lasting benefits on science
and commerce. The last Antarctic expe-
dition sent out was that commanded by
Captain Sir James Clark Ross. He sailed
from England in September, 1899, with the
ships Erebus and Terror, the same vessels
in which six years afterwards Sir John
Franklin started for the north on his ILL
fated expedition. For three years Captain
Ross tried to pierce the mysteries of the
Antarctic circle, but his explorations added
little to the store of the worlds knowledge.
