Her Life
q Romance.

Phoebe Cousins, the first woman
lawyer of America, the first woman
to become United States marshal
and for many years known over the
length and breadth of the country as
an ardent, uncompromising public adj
vocate Of wOmans rights, Is now
seriously i'll at st. Louis Disease has
laid low the woman whose stalwart
will carried her through a successful
career in the face of opposition and
obstacles of every sort.
Few careers have been more roman
tic. beautiful girl, she was besieged
with admirers. and might have made
many brilliant marriages. At one time
a vice president of the United States
and two United States senators sought
her hand. But she disdained all offers.
She had her mission to fulfil and in
exorably pursued it until misfortune
and illness finally showed her the fall
lacy of her course.
For Phoebe Cousins now believes
that she has been mistaken all her
life. and that the true aim of woman
kind is not civil equality with man,
but home and motherhood
Her parents were originally from the
East. Her father, who was among the
most prominent Unionists Of st. Louis,
received the appointment of chief Of
police and provost marshal of the city
during the war. Her mother was the
head OF the st. Louis branch of the
sanitary commission. and had charge
Of the city hospitals.

The next morning it was brought tC
her while she was slipping her coffee
/ twas for $50. There was no word OF
explanation. She enclosed 1T in a note,
thanking him for his kindness, but say
ing she did not think it proper to &C
cept it. 1t came back by return post
Don't be foolish" he wrote. Keep
the money and get new spring bonnet
with it,
Miss Cousins continued lecturing in
behalf of her sex, winning fame, if not
dollars. When the receipts from her
lectures were not equal to her needs
there was always a reserve fund to
be drawn upon at the later family
home, in Washington, and she drew
upon it without stint, for the luxurious
tastes developed by the circumstances
Of her early life were never lost.
A UNITED STATES MARSHAL.
When j. D. Cousins became United States
marshal he appointed his daughter deputy.
She returned to st. Louis and assumed her
duties in her fathers Office. Hers were
chiefly clerical duties, but they enabled her
to gain an insight into the requirements of
the official life Of her chief. and when her
father died she was appointed to fill the va
cancy during the uneXpired term. She did
this satisfactorily, although she limited her
efforts to Office supervision of the labors Of
the deputies. When her term ended she made

liant as she was beautiful. She very
early showed her Discrimination, or
rather her contempt, for social life. For
several years she was the belle of st.
Louis. But none of her admirers could
make Roadway with her. 1t was her
favorite theme that women had a
higher mission in life than marriage
When 1t was known that Phoebe
Cousins had entered the law depart
ment of Washington university, there
was no surprise. st. Louis had become
fully acquainted with her bent. Her
friends knew that her years of reigning
bellehood had been from her point of
view most Improbable, and that from
them she had derived but moderate
pleasure.
FIRST WOMAN LAWYER
Her beauty had won many admirers
and suitors quite as many, but so plain
ly did she show her preference for men
of years and wisdom that one by one
they left her side. Miss Phoebe did
not appear to even notice their de-
sertion. She was in the zenith of her
beauty then. tall, slender, supple, with
delicate patrician features, brilliant
black eyes and raven hair. Her COM
plexion was olive, with a rich shifting
crimson in her cheeks.
Then, as until extreme adversely over
took her, she was. noted for the taste
full elegance Of her dress. She lacked
something of the softness of manner of
most Southern women. More in evil
dence was a certain seff-assertiveness,
tempered by good breeding.
She secured entrance into the law
department with some difficulty; was
graduated from 1t with honor, and then

Of Gen. Grant and the family at this
time. Copies of it were made for the
family, and when the general gave me
mine nearly all the family were pres

MAKING HISTORY.
How did Gen. Grant work."
His work was varied replied Mr..
Dawson. when L first came he die
tated quite a great deal and wrote
somewhat on slips of paper which he
gave to me to copy. AS he grew weak
err he had to do his dictation early in
the morning. 1t was at that time that
he felt stronger. AT the last he seldom
dictated more than an hour at a sit
ting. This was enough to tire him out
AS the days went on and death came
nearer his throat grew weaker and
weaker. L had to move closer and
closer to him until at the last the
dictation was given in a whisper In
my ear, and 1 had to listen intently
to make the shorthand notes of his
conversation. After the dictation he
would rest a while, then from time
to time during the remainder of the day
his daughter and daughters-in-laW
would read to him the different ac-
counts Of the battles about which he
proposed to write on the morrow. He
did this to refresh his memory and to
fit him for the work .
Did he revise the manuscript Of the
book ?"
He hoped to be able to do SO all
