elevate not only the men but the wom-
en- as we'll. The speaker referred to
the double standard OF morals which
existed in this country-one for men to
live by, which always allowed him to
be drawn back into society, no matter
how he had fallen, and another for
woman, who, when once having lost
her character was barred by, this code
of morals from re-establishing herself
in society. With equal rights Miss
Moore believed that one moral stand
ard could and would be maintained in
society, and man and woman could de-
mand from each other the same stand
ard OF morality.
AT the close of the address Miss
Gregg took up subscriptions to carry
on the work in this state, and goodly
sum was subscribed.

4 Snake story.

A road party, comprising the usual
gang of from so to GO hnffirs, with a
white man as superintendent, was en-
ployed on the construction of a road in
the Tugela valley, Natal, about 80 or
more years ago. In the course of their
work they came on huge stone which
it was necessary to remove, but beneath
it was the home of large black man.
ba, well known to the neighboring in
habitants as being old, and therefore
very venomous. The mamba is the most
deadly of the South African snakes, and
the superintendent anticipated some
trouble over that rock. He offered a
bribe for the snakes skin, and the gang
"Wow-d!' and sat down to ''bema
gwi' (take snuff, but a slim youth
sauntered forward and amid the jeers
and protestations of the rest declared
himself equal to the task. He took from
his neck what looked like a bit of shriv-
eled stick, chewed it, swallowed some
of it, spat out the rest on his hands and
proceeded to rub his glistening brown
body and limbs all over. Then, taking
up his stick and chanting a song of de-
fiance, he advanced With great confidence
and swagger to the bowlder. There he
reused up the mamba, who, in great
fury at being disturbed, bit him in the
lip with great venom. The boy took no
notice of the bite, but broke the snakes
back with his stick, and bringing him
to his master asked for the reward, OBJ
tanning which he went back to his
work, and the bite of the reptile had no
effect on him whatever.
No bribe, not even that of a COW (bet.
ter than any gold i'll the eyes of a kaffir),
would induce this native to disclose the
secret of his antidote, which, he said,
had been handed down in his family
for generations.-London Spectator.

the ballot, from the stand point of the
equal suffragist. Miss Moore has trav-
eled extensively in the interest of equal
suffrage, devotiug much time in Wy

free use OF the ballot, and from what
she saw ia these two states at elections
she thought there was little ground for

morally or socially by their presence at
the polls. She believed that the en-

A COUNTY CLUB FORMED.

The Equal sufragists Extend Their Work
Over Dawson County.
Not very large audience assembled
at the court house Wednesday afternoon
when President Burleigh. of the city
association, called the convention to
order. After singing and prayer by
the president the call was read by Miss
Mabel Robinson, in the absence of the
secretary. Miss Laura Gregg, OF Kan
sas. national speaker, was introduced
to the audience, which had been in
creasing slowly. She spoke OF the ques-
tion of equal suffrage, laying her foun-
dation for woman's right to the ballot
by referring to the creation of man and
woman, whose dominion by divine
right was equal. Miss Gregg is an
interesting speaker, and presents her
side of the case in an intelligent
manner.
AT the conclusion of Miss Gregg's ad-
dress county equal suffrage
club was organized, that being the OBJ
ject of the convention. The following
officers were elected:
President-Mrs. A. E. Hitchcock.
Vice president-Mrs. J. S. Wilson. of
Badger township.
Corresponding gSecretary-Mrs.B B, W.
Burleigh.
Recording Secretary-Miss Mabel
Robinson.
Treasurer-J. c. Clapham, of Blen-
don township.
Auditors-Mrs. Lizzie Ayers and o.
D. Stearns.
The county club is presumed to take
care OF the general work of the cam
paign and its sessions are to be held once
a year. AT present four auxiliary clubs
have been organized in the county, in
Badger and Blendon townships, Mt.
Vernon and Mitchell, which are pre-
sumed to keep alive the interest in
their localities by holding frequent
meetings. The campaign will extend
over period OF nearly year and the
ladies declare they are going to take
advantage of the time and will make
an aggressive cam paign, so that
when the time comes to vote the men
will be fully informed as to what the
women demand in the way of rights
and privileges.
