tion with resignation. The whites, how
ever protest against it. They surge in
crowds to the railroad stations and
frantically beseech or curse the officials
because of the lack of accommodations.
They are mad with fear and they fight
desperately to get away from the strick
en- place.
At the first rumors Of the presence Of
the epidemic those who have the means
send their families to the northern
states, far out of reach of the plague.
The poorer people get as far away as
their money will carry them at the rail
road stations There are tears in many
eyes and sobs mingle with the more
commonplace sounds. Those who are
left behind stay to face death. Those
who depart go to suffer anxiety and per
haps privatiOn among strangers. Every
means of transportation is taxed. The
very poor, who have no money to buy
railroad tickets, take to the pine woods.
On the seacoast some take refuge on
islands.
Next comes the quarantine.
1t seems harsh and selfish to shut
people in a town where a deadly dis
ease is epidemic, but the law of self
preservation justifies it. This same law
justifies the imprisoned ones in trying
to escape. So mere edict will not do
Guns are needed, and the dead line is
drawn. The local militia of neighboring
towns form Gordon around the infect
cd place, and the amateur soldiers are
enforced by private citizens. At every
road and lane stands an armed man,
grim, determined and ready to warn or
shoot. They are all filled with the same
determination to ward off the infection
from their homes. Each man feels that
he is protecting his own family, and
when man fights for his fireside he is
a lion at bay.
And how goes it in the fever stricken
town? Walled in by the law on four
sides, pelted from above by the merci-
less sun and with the scourge waiting
for them at every turn, life becomes a
dreadful nightmare. Business is sus-
pended. Stores are closed and the streets
traversed only by the doctors, the
nurses and the dead wagon.
In the present epidemic from which
certain sections Of the south are suffer.
ing the disease is being fought by skill,
ed experts. DIR. Guiteras, the great Phil
adelphia yellow fever specialist, has
been sent there by the federal govern.
ment, and every precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the
scourge. 1t is probable that the great
epidemics Of former years will not be
repeated this year. but the crisis will
not be passed until the first welcome
touch of frost is felt along the lower
Atlantic seaEpArd. O. j, BOwDEN.

held in Toronto very soon. Miss Johanns-
dottir is now visiting Miss Ruth Shaft
ner, teacher in the Indian school at Car
Isle, Pa.
In her own home this Icclandic woman
is person of no little importance, for her
uncle in whose family she has been reared,
Is speaker of the lower house of the ma
tional council and her aunt Is prominent
in public movements Of every kind Miss
Johannsdottir has been well educated and
has travelled extensively. When the order
of Good Templars was established in Ice
land, some 12 years ago, she was one of
the first women TO become member, and
all Iceland regarded her as u very strange
young woman indeed.
Four years ago, while on visit to Nor
way, she became acquainted with the
worlds w. c. T. u. and went back home
determined to organize such an associa-
ton in her native land. She found on
her return, however, that the Icelandic
Womans association had been started In
Reikiavik, the capital of the island. Its
aim was to omancipate the women of Ice
land and awaken their interest in wom-
ems rights. She became vice president of
this association and soon after formed the
Icelandic Womcn's Temperance union
with 90 MEMBERS
Not long after this Miss ShafTncr, Miss
Jessie Ackermann and Miss Nina Pratt
visited Iceland to establish a branch of the
w. g. n. u. They co-oTCrutCd with Miss
Johnnnsdottir and before they left had
swelled the membership Of INC union tC
300 members.
"SinCe the association was formed, ~
says Miss Johannsdottir, L havc been its
| president, longing to do my bcst for it,
though feeling that it needed more than
had to offer Last summer went to sev
eral places in the country, holding tom
perance meetings and forming branches
where l could. ! travelled for many miles
on the backs of ponies, which furnish the
only means of transportation in my native
land About tho middle of May had K
walk over mountains where we sunk Il
the knee in snow and water and in July
rode for two days through valleys of sane
and lava with torrents of glacier watel
coming down from peaks covered will
eternal snow. At the present time W,

the Juvenile association with 100 children
on its rolls. l came to America to become
acquainted with the W. c. II. L. work ant

LIFE IN THE MIDST OF A YELLOW
FEVER EPIDEMIC.

Rush OF the Panic stricken Populnce TO
Escape From the Towu--Thon Comes
Quarantine and the Horrors of Hand to
Hand Conflict with the Pest.
"The wind in the east and no frost
hntil November " This means little TO
one who has never been in the midst
of yellow fever epidemic. To the resi-
dent of an infected district, however, it
is full of import
After sundown on midsummer's
day is when a southern town seems to
stir with life. All day the blinds have
been closed tightly and the streets prac-
tically deserted, but when the sun no
longer beats fiercely down on brick and
stone, when the long shadows have
deepened into COOL wide spreading dark
ness, then the shutters are thrown open
and groups gather on verandas and door
steps There is the sound of laughter
and chatter and here and there the
tinkle of banjo or the low thrum of
guitar Peace and happiness are in
the air
Late in the evening some one comes
up from down town, and whispered
conversation is hold. There is sus-
picious case at the hospital, but the
physicians have not as yet given their
opinions. The word has been passed
around, and wherever the rumor spreads
the laughter and the music are hushed.
"In the morning we will know, " say
the men. Probably it is nothing seri-
GUS "
Yet each man hesitates as he nears
the corner where he knows the bulletin
will be posted. The ancients trembled
when they asked the oracle to speak
The bulletin is there. 1t is the fever
During the day more deaths occur and
more bulletins are posted.
The scourge is on.
The evolution of panic is dra-
matte thing. Fear Of an unseen foe--a
foe that strikes in the broad unlight or
in the dark, in the crowded street or in
the seclusion Of the home-causes it.
Death may be communicated by touch.
The rail against which you lean, the
knob of the door which you open, the
newspaper which you pick up, may
have been handled by one who has since
been stricken and polluted.
The colored people generally, as well
as some of the natives who have lived
through other cpidemics, accept the situa.

yer in the United States. She was the
first woman TO be admitted TO tho bar
in Tennessee where she obtained her
legal education and now she has re-
turned to Kansas, where she means to
practice her profession. But Miss Lytle
does not mean to depend on fees alone.
She has designs ON some of the offices
which the state legislature has TO dis
pose Of and she means TO break into
politics She does not choose Kansas as
her field Of operations merely because
it is her home, but mainly on account
of the fact that in the Sunfower State
her sex will be less of handicap than
in other commonwealths
Miss Lytlo is % years old and is in
telligent and good looking. Her father
was, before the war, slave on the es-
tate of Colonel Patrick Sloane, near
Chilhowee, Tenn. About 20 years ago
he moved TO Kansas and engaged in
business He has been successful and is
regarded as the richest colored man in
the state. Lutte was given the best Of
educational advantages and improved
them In 1891, through her father 5
political influence, she was appointed
one of the engrossing clerks for the
legislature and this experience in Office
holding led her to be ambitious for a
further public career.
She decided that in order to be prop
erly equipped for the struggle she
should be a lawyer, so she went to
Nashville and entered the Central Ten
nessee college, an institution for the
higher education Of colOrcd students
There she took two years law course
and last spring was graduated with
high hOnors. She was the class valedic-
torian and was not only furnished with
a diploma, but with n license granting
her the right to practice in any of the
courts in Tennessee. The other day she
went to Momphis and was formally ad-
mitted to the bar. Since then she has
returned to Topeka, where she has
opened law office, and during the next
campaign she may be expected 70 take
no small part
