an1 Mrs. Martin was left with three
little children to support. She took hold
of the farm and gave her whole time to
the work. She raised cattle and grain
and makes money right along. She
has cleared the mortgage off the farm
and lives well. Her farm is located in
the Arkansas valley, three miles from
Lakin. Mrs. Martin owns two wind
mills and an irrigating plant.
The leading woman stock raiser OF
Kansas is Miss Mary Best of Barber
county. She came from England TO
Medicine Lodge ten years ago and soon
after engaged in farming and stock
raising. With the possible exception of
ex-Congresman Jerry Simpson, Miss
Best owns the finest, farm in Barber
county. She owns and controls 5000
acres of land, 700 acres of which are
in cultivation. She is dealing extensive
ly in cattle, and now has on her ranch
near Medicine Lodge about 1000 head,
of which 700 head are her own, and the
balance she is holding for other parties.
Miss Best handles from 1000 to 5000
head annually and has always made
money. She has also contract with
the United States government to grow
$50 bushels of sorghum seed. The seed
is furnished by the agricultural de-
partment, and is, without doubt, the
finest grade in the world. Miss Best
is a young woman of more than aver
age intelligence, and is known all over
Barber county for her good business
sense and her ability to manage a farm.
Her good sense can be attested by
number of young Barber county farm
ers who have sought her heart and
hand in marriage, but who have dis
mally failed. The young lady says she
can take care of herself.
Near the Missouri and Kansas line,
in Linn county, Mrs. Mary ]. Reese
owns and successfully operates farm
of 26O acres. She is typical independ
ent woman farmer. Her farm is worth
81, 900, and she has $1,000 loaned out to
the neighboring farmers. She is not
afraid to work, and goes into the field
and makes full hand.
Misses Martha and Carrie James are
two Usage county sisters, who are run
ming farm entirely without the help
of a man. They do all the blowing,
cultivating and harvesting, and do it as
well as any man in Usage county Their
farm is ten miles northwest of Burlin-
game. Miss Martha James is 80 years
old and her sister Carrie is 20. Both
are natives of Kansas. Last year MISS
Carrie went into Woods county, Okla
homa, and pre-empted a claim of l6o
acres This year the two young LADIES
have farmed 1928 acres and have fine
crop. They reside with their widowed
mother and for the past five years
Miss Carrie has attended to all the
business affairs of the farm.
Hundreds of women are operating
farms in Kansas, and in every instance
they have prospered. During the reign
of the Farmers Alliance these women
attended to their farm duties, allow
ing the men to save the country on
goods boxes at the country stres. The
result is that their mortgages were
lifted and they now have money in the
banks or out on interest.-Chicaso

made no effort in this direction, having
learned that it was part of the plot for
the social storming of Crossways Mrs.
Fish was not kept out to dinner very
late, for her hostess guests were sngu-
larry early in departing and, naturally,
she did not wish to be so rude as to
prolong the festivities without seeming
reason.
No sooner had she left for Crossways
than the word was passed to the two
large dinner parties and they We're on
their way in that direction. Arriving
before the Fish villa there was a sortie
across the lawn, numerous low signals
were exchanged and the party filed in.
There was Mrs. Fish, however. not
bit surprised, but ready to receive them
in the most approved manner. Not only
that preparations for a cotillon were
visible and, to cap 1t all, there was
small army of men getting ready to
spread a banquet.
Explanations were naturally in order
from both parties concerned but it was
very generally felt that there was no
joke on Mrs. Fish-not this time, at
least There are some who claim to
have known that she was expecting
company" and few may have, but
it is safe to say that nearly all of the
alleged surprise party were thoroughly

Three punches of cherry blossoms are
used to trim round hat OF forget-me-

costume.

snowy on the deep blue straw. Facing

Generous Chicago Woman RENE mbers
Her Native Town.
A singularly graceful deed was re-
Gently done by charming woman of
Chicago.
The city of Albion. Mich, was some
time ago presented with a handsome
and substantial new library building
and a club house by one Of it's towns
women with heart broad enough and
a purse deep enough to make the do
nation. The lady who has shown such
liberality In SO worthy a cause is Mrs.
Mary Sheldon Ismon, and the building
is to be known as the Mary Sheldon
1smon Memorial. 1t is built Of red
brick, with stone foundations and metal
roof, and Is situated one block west
OF Main street. on a corner lot, for
which Mrs. Ismon paid $4,000. The
building itself cost $4,000 and was de-
signed by a Grand Rapids architect.
city of Albion. with 80 year lease Of
the portion occupied by the two clubs,
the Leisure Hour club, a temperance
organization. and the woman'a club,
known as the E. L. T. club, named
from the motto ''Emilte Lucem TRAM"
The portion to be used as a public Il
brary has been given directly to the
city. to avoid the payment upon it of
taxes, to which the club rooms are
subject.
Mrs Sheldon Ismon, the donor of this
fine building, is a tall, distinguished
looking woman Her parents were
1888, when Mary Peabody was babe.
A company was formed, OF which her
father Tenney Peabody, was men,
Der. They plated the village and to
her mother was given the honor of
naming the new town, which she called
Albion.
AS the girl Mary grew to young
womanhood she received the best edu-
cation the times afforded, and she was
also trained in practical housekeeping.
In 1856 she married rising young
business man, Joseph w. Sheldon, who
proved himself possessed Of ability
above the ordinary, succeeded in all his
undertakings and accumulated a large
fortune, keeping steadily to his work
as long as he lived. In 1894 he died
suddenly, leaving his wife and one
daughter sole heirs to his large estate.
This, added to her private fortune,
placed her in position to do easily theh
gracious act that will cause her name
to be spoken with praise through the
coming years. She was married to
Henry 1smon of Chicago a little more
than a year ago.

CHARM OF RURAL WEDDinGS.
Pretty NuptiaI Festivities in Country
Surroundings

Pretty NuptiaI Festivities in Country
Surroundings
A wedding in the country is one of
the most delightful of rural festivities,
Inc charm of a country wedding Is
being felt more and more by the fash
ionable world, and there is little doubt
that the greater number of those that
have places out of town prefer to cell
brate their nuptials there In the
country there seems to be more of the
spirit of romance and good fellowship.
There is a chance for everyone to thor
oughly enjoy himself. No matter with
what solemnity and stiffness the vows
are spoken in the church, the break
fast at the house is invariably followed
by a frolic on the lawn and verandas,
and in it the bride not infrequently
joins.
Lately at a prominent wedding the
breakfast was served on the lawn I'M
der the trees and by the lake. The
bride, just before leaving her guests,
and still in her shimmering white
gown. was surrounded by her brides
maids. By one of them she was blind
folded, and then they danced around
III ring as Sne Threw 1eT bouquet.
Within it's center was hidden a ring,
and the girl who caught the flowers
was predestined by fate to be the next
bride. The custom is a German one,
but loses nothing by crossing the great
sea, and is usually pretty when prac-
ticed amid such gay surroundings.
Many brides now choose to drive off
with the groom for their honeymoon in
a small, open trap, drawn by some pet
horse of their own, instead of shutting
themselves up in the formidable coach
of not SO very long ago. Surely this is
starting life's journey more pleasantly.
One gay young bride was recently
heard to say that nothing would induce
her not to go with her pony to the sta
ton on her wedding day. That she
would. at least, have the consciousness
of holding the reins at the beginning.
In this instance there was also touch
of the pathetic about this little journey,
as the man she had chosen was not
Croesus, and afterward the pony was
to be sold. 1t was therefore, her last
drive with him.
Many little novelties have lately APP
peared at the breakfasts and they
greatly help out the fun. On the side
board or in the hall there are piled up
innumerable little white satin bags.
They are shaped like meal bags and
contain handful Of rice. Each guest
takes one with the wedding cake, and
he is, therefore, prepared to contribute
his share to the veritable shower OF
rice that falls upon the departing pair.
Some special good fortune is said to
hang over the thrower if the rice from
his hand actually alights upon the
bride Dainty white satin slippers flied
with rice and queer little shoes are
tmong the table decorations and ia
vors.
At Tuxedo not long ago a beautiful
girl was married on the veranda. 1t
had been transformed into bower by
the use Of smilax and palms, and the
entire festivity was out of doors. When
she and the groom drove off the band
played Just One Girl" and the chorus
was heartily Joined by almost every
voice present.

TURNS TABLES ON THE MEN.
London Laughs at Parody on Woman's
Suffrage Movement.

London Laughs at Parody on Woman's
Suffrage Movement.
The London New Age publishes a
witty parody on the weird legislation
that is every now and then introduced
for the restriction of women. 1t Is
called "An unreported discussion at the
international congress of women-do-
nestle section"
Subject for discussion: Should Men
be Allowed Out After Sunset?"
The irwoman-Ladies: This Is
one of the most serious questions be-
fore our congress. Are we any longer
to allow our sons, brothers, husbands
and fathers out after dark? We have
long perceived that freedom in this
matter has had most disastrous effects
on the health of man. Colds, sore
threats, rheumatism and many other
isms have resulted and added new anX-
ieties to our burden. Do We allow our
children out after dark? No. never!
Then why allow our children of
themselves by breathing the night air?
This is. indeed, reform SO obviously
necessary that / think it might be
enough for me to state the resolution
in order to secure its immediate adop-
ton. However, il any delegate wishes
to speak to the question we shall, Of
course, be glad to listen. I will now
read the resolution and then call upon
Nine. Mensickoy (Russian to second
it: "We the women Of all nations
here assembled, do unanimously de-
mand the immediate enactment of an
interna tional decree prohibiting every
male who has passed beyond the nur-
sery, and. therefore. out of the immedi-
ate control of women, from leaving his
home after sunset"

pleasure second this resolution. 1t will

SAILED A BOAT TO VICTORY.
Nautical Prowess of Newport Belle
Wins Yacht Race.

The yachting craze inaugurated by
the prospective races for the interna-
tional cup has affected the women OF
the east end.
Mrs. William Butler Duncan, jr. is
voted the bravest woman in the New
port colony because she defied a nasty
storm and helped to sail the yacht
Esperanza to victory yesterday. She
went aboard in spite of the heavy sea
and gale with her brother, Harry have
meyer, and did her part with the rest
of the crew in sailing the 30-footer.
Mrs. Duncan wore a suit or olsklhs
that covered her from head to foot ana
faced the elements Ike a man. In
stead of being frightened. she enjoyed
the experience as much as anyone
aboard.
She helped tend jib sheets. and with
the spray flying over the boat and Wet
ting everything in sight, she faced 1t
like a man and enjoyed it as much as
anv Jolly tar that ever went to sea.
Mrs. Duncan stuck heroically to her
most throughout the contest and had
the satisfaction of seeing her boat re-
turn a winner When she got back her
hair and face were covered with salt,
but she looked as fresh as the bracing
atmosphere and the wholesome exer-
else alone can make one.
When the Esperanto crossed the nm
ish line a winner Mrs. Duncan was
hailed as its mascot. The race was for
the cup offered by E. d. Morgan, and
seven yachts competed.

SURPRlSERS SURPRISED.
Wife of Millionaire Turns the Tables on
Her Guests.

Her Guests.
Mark Twains maxims concerning the
gullibility OF the American people are
certainly not applicable to Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish of New York generally
but just at present of Newport. At the
latter fashionable resort every one is
talking of how nicely Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish turned the tables upon her legion
of friends recently, and it is safe to
say that nothing else will be heard
of in social circles for many weeks to
come.
Ordinarily the affair, which was the
result of Mrs. Fishs industry and
cleverness, might be termed surprise
party, but as the surprisers were them
selves surprised nobody seems to know
just what to term it. though all agree
that they had an extremely jolly and
novel experience.
Three weeks ago CrosswAys, the
beautiful summer residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, was selected as
the object of a surprise party for to-
night and committee of ladies and
gentlemen went theoretically to work
upon the various details. They wera
not half as secretive as they should
have been, however. and Mrs. Fish
who knows when she observes the
proverbial straws which way the wind
is blowing, did not have to make a
very deep investigation of the condi-
tons to learn exactly what her friends
We're up to.
1t is needless to say that she was de-
lighted, for she intended to give a
dance anyway, and now she would be
saved the trouble of making out her
list and preparing her invitations. So,
while the committee" was active for a
fortnight, Mrs. Fish was much engaged
also upon her own idea of the real thing
in the way of surprise.
The surprise 90 party assembled in
the evening in two large dinner COM
panes at Mrs. Ogden Mills and Mrs. I.
Townsend Burdens. Mrs. Fish dined
out also by particular invitation, of
course, while her home was invaded
by florists. who, under the direction of
the committee" transformed it into a
bower of palms and flowers. Mrs. Fish
