year and half in travel, from
Stockholm to Naples and from France

tour she had served for three years in
her fathers big offices, and what

she had not acquired in that service

her to the exchange, when it was at
Washington and La Sale streets, and
with his pet poised on his shoulder he

attempt to do anything he would be whistling

pclygamy recognition in the court as it were,
that must not be overlooked. If he is seated
the revenge of indifference to his opinion and
studied antagonism against all Of his implied
intentions will take care of the rest.
This polygamy is really tolerated by the

he goes into congress, as Emerson says, THE
crime and punishment will both grow on the

Miss Young Made Justice of Peace

Miss Elva f. Young has been appointed by
the governor of Massachusetts as a special
commissioner, which would mean Justice Of

tinction attained by few women-even women
lawyers-for Miss Young has been duly ad-

practices in Springfield. She passed the ex
amiTations successfully while her father
who is Col. Charles L. Young. tried at the
same time and failed. their intention was
to enter the practice of the law in partner
ship.
Miss Young has the distinction of being
the first woman to be admitted to the bar in
Hampton county, and she is also the first
applicant in that county to take the examina-
tons under the direction of the state board
of examiners and pass them successfully.

aminatons. The colonel is comparing his

exception OF one, the same as did his daugh-

all of his answers, and it is for this reason
that he did not pass. He took the examina-
ticn again in December.
Miss Young is an unusually bright young
woman. She was graduated from the high
school at Columbus. O., and after going to
Springfield took a postgraduate course at
the high school there. She then entered

honors. ard was also president of her class
From Wellesley she went to Cornell uni
