a BAN From mountain Tops.

At the Texas-C Colorado Chautauqua,
held recently at Boulder, Colo, the adj
dress of welcome was given by T. M
Patterson, editor of the Denver News
In reviewing the progress of the last
half century he alluded to the advanced
position which should be accorded to
women and said:
s'It was only yesterday that woman
was recognized as the equal of man be-
fore the law-not yet everywhere. but
here and in some neighboring states 1t
was but the starting of the ball OF
equal justice from the mountain tops
which is gathering speed and power as
it reaches the plains and rolls toward
the oceans. It was the response OF Colo
rado's chivalrous men to the earnest ap,
peal Of woman for fair, free field t.
women who. driven by necessity, mus.
enter into the struggle with hand and
brain for daily bread The men said:
Women bear and rear the children;
they contribute their equal share OF
taxes; they do the gentler posting OF
battalions for attack and defense; they
are the weaker and are handicapped In
life's struggle with the bondage they
have borne through all the ages and
prejudices begotten Of weakness and de-
tendency. There is but one royal road
to woman's mission, and that is the
ballot
'sAnd the men Of Colorado gave them
the ballot And now, with influence
and dignity as their handmaids they
are swiftly and surely widening the
field which women may occupy with
men as breadwinners They are Learn
ing thak labor is dignity As this spirit
rises the walks Of sin are avoided Tho

Chinese Family Life.

Mrs Archibald Little is writing q
new book of travels in China, which
will contain many interesting facts
about Chinese women. Mrs. Little has
lived in China for years, and has seen
the women as men cannot see them.
She also accompanied her husband in
most of his expeditions, in which she
often walked 40 miles day, forded
mountain torrents or was carried over
them pick-a-back, and once had Tibetan
dogs set upon her by angry Lamas.

with the social and family life of the
Chinese upper classes than with travel

How She Saved Her Hat.

There was a woman down town the
other day who wanted, above all things
an umbrella. To buy an umbrella is an
easy thing, but there never was wom-
an who would not feel that it was a
wicked waste of good money to buy an
umbrella when she did not need it and
when there were Thousand other
things for which she would like TO
spend her money.
This woman had both good sun
umbrella and rain umbrella; hence it
was to fly in the face of Providence to
get another one of either kind Still she
had an errand up town, she could not
go home, and she had on brand new
hat, and it certainly looked as if it was
going to rain. Then she settled herself
down to think. There is agenrpg ltlucn

and little brain work is put to The

60 to an umbrella shop and ask them
to let me hire an umbrella for the day. !"
"Have you the nerves" queried the
diffident man.
Certainly, answered the woman
firmly, her thoughts intent on the need
Of protection for that new hat But she
did not feel altogether as confident as
she seemed
"Could you began at the UNI
brella shop-"1 mean I have come on a
rather strange errand-I-thati s-have
you got any old umbrella that could
hire to go up. town." she burst out
finally, feeling as If she had been caught
stealing sheep and fumbling for card
The clerk took it all quite as matter
Of course
1--WE have no umbrellas to let, he
said politely. ''but if you go into the
hotel next door they have them to let
there.
Certainly said the man in the
hotel ''You put down 81. e5, and when
you bring the umbrella back the dollar
is returned This is not new business
We have been doing it for 20 years. -
Certainly" repeated the man at
home. "They have umbrellas at many
of the hotels It is side issue, bust
ness carried on by the porter often,
think. 1t is particularly for the benefit
Of commercial travellers, imagine. !"
Then the woman drew a long breath
to think Of the many things in the
world she had yet to learn, but she
blessed that faculty in her which the
man had called NERVE" which had
tempted her to do something unusual
to save her money and her hat as well
The umbrella was not such bad look
