HIS HANDICAP.

He wooed her when they both were
poor, twas then he won her, too;
She cheered him when the days were
drear and toiled to help him
through;
She taught him things from books that
he had failed to learn in youth;
She got him to avoid the use of words
that were uncouth;
She took her jewel in the rough, she
polished day by day,
And with a woman's patience ground
the worthless parts away.
She turned him from a stupid clown to
one whose mien was proud,
She planted in his heart the wish to
rise above the crowd;
She planned the things he undertook,
she urged him on to try,
She gave him confidence to look for
splendid things and high;
She bore the children that he loved
and toiled for them and him,
And often knelt beside her bed with
aching eyes and dim.
She cheered him when the days were
dark. and when the skies were
bright
She saw him rise above the crowd and
reach noble height;
Her brow is married by many line;
she's bent and wan and old,
He has a bearing that is fine, a form
of noble mold;
And people say: Poor man, alas! He's
grown beyond his wife;
How sad that such load should be
attached to him for lifel"

This was not rare thing among from
tier women in those days. They knew
the ways of the Indians better than the
trained soldiers from the east, and as
they expected no favors on account of
their sex, they were as efficient in the
work as men.
Martha Canary soon worked up to a
leadership among these women. She
was but fifteen when she first bcame a
government scout, and had all the au-
dacity of youth. Besides, she was alb
solutely fearless and had nerves of
rock. Nothing was too hazardous for
her to undertake. and in a few years
she had a reputation for reckless cour-
age which made her conspicuous among
people where that quality was common.
To recount the number of arrays in
which she figured would be a long task.
She earned her title of Calamity Jane
by bit of gallantry deserving of hand
somer recognition. 1t was during Gus
ter's Nez Perez campaign in 1923.
Wherever Custer was there was always
plenty OF fighting, and as fighting was
her hobby, Calamity Jane was there
too.
campaign is called the battle of Goose
Creek camp. A company of soldiers
commanded by young captain named
Egan, were surprised and surrounded
by Indians, and the soldiers were get

with Jane standing guard with the
cleaver.
The curious part of all this is that
six months before Jane had saved
McCaul's life. She and six others were
passengers on McCaul's coach, running
from Deadwood to Wild Birch. Half
way between the two points lie coach
was surrounded by Indians, and
McCaul was shot through the back.
The other passengers lost their nerve
at this, but Jane grabbed up the reins
and landed the coach safely at Wild
Birch.
Later Jane became pony express
rider between Deadwood and Custer,
and as the country was then overrun
with hostile Sioux. the job was an ex-
citing one. After that she went TO
ranching at Miles City, Mont, but
raising cattle did not suit her, so she
opened a small hotel. She was her
own bouncer, and when any bad men
drifted in, in search of trouble, she
always met them more than half way.
Later she went to FL Paso, where she
married. Then, after time, she re-
turned to Deadwood, but it was not the
Deadwood of old. There was nothing
for her to do except to go on the
variety stage, and this work dissatis-
fled her. so she gave it up to plunge
into literature.

Gladstone, according to cablegrams
from London, is now near death at
Hawarden castle, where she was born
nearly 80 years ago.
If recognition were given to wife

ting the worst of it. Calamity Jane
was outside Tie circle of Indians watch
ing the fight, and when her experienced
eye told her that it was only a question
of minutes when the soldiers would be
wiped out, she managed to work her
way safely through the Indians to her
comrades. On reaching That point she
discovered that the captain was wound.
ed and the soldiers demoralized
There was only one good horse left
and getting the Captain across the
saddle she got up behind him and then
cut loose. She knew the country better
than the pursuing Indians, and
managed to reach the point of safety
The diversion she created by the escape
gave few of the soldiers chance to
get away. but the bulk of them were
massacred. 1t was Captain Egan VINO
gave fer the name of Calamity Jane,
and later her fame under that title
spread from the Dakotas to the western
line of Montana.
In the Black hills, between Custer
and Deadwood. she was best known
and when that region was in most
lawless stages she was a central figure
She was leading spirit in the vigilant
committees, and officiated at scores of
lynching bees. She always dressed in
mems clothes, and never appeared
without a revolver or rife. But she
didn't hesitate to use other weapons
when her ire was aroused.
The tragedy which ended John
McCauls life showed this. McCaul
was a stage coach driver at Deadwood,
and one day he shot man called Will
Bill in the back Bill died. He was
one of the choice friends of Calamity
Jane. When she heard of he shooting
she rushed out Of her shanty, with a
\ butchers cleaver in her hand. She
gave a whoop. which brought all the
stragglers in town to her heels, and
they Joined eagerly in the chase for
McCaul. He was found half drunk,
and the cleaver in the hands of
Calamity Jane almost scared him to
death. Some of the people proposed
that Jane should finish him with the
cleaver. but the milder spirits objected.
so he was lynched in the conventional
way. att 'Ned n - limb Of a tree,

the imagination of the writer. But she
does exist, and not long since was
tramping from house to house in He
lena, Mont, selling book, book she
wrote herself and about herself. As
literary gem it will never create
furore. but this does not bother the
authoress; all She aspires to is sale
sufficient to clothe and feed herself I'M
til something better turns up. she
freely acknowledges that she delved in
to literature only as a final resource.
She was face to face with poverty, SO
she wrote a book. Moreover, she
wants to educate her daughter, and II
the sales are numerous enough this
will be done.
The real Calamity Jane is a woman
of As years, weighing less than 10
pounds, and about feet 3 inches IN
height. She has gray eyes, brown hair
a weather beaten face and an ordinary
raw boned figure. There Is nothing
remarkable about her, as far as looks
go, but, as she says, When 1t comes
down to cold cases, l am there" THIS
vague remark may mean great va
riety of things, but its literal meaning
is that when danger comes her way she
won: funk.
In private life she is Mrs. Clinton
Burke, having married man of that
name at FL Paso, Tex, some ten years
ago. Her maiden name was Martha
Canary. She was born in Princeton
Mo, in 1852, and while baby her
mother died. When 10 years OF age
her father took her to Virginia CITY,
New, where the widest spirits of the
west, both red and white, congregated.
From the first she was thrown in con-
tact with men of the desperate type.
and shooting scrapes we're ordinary
events in her life. Naturally, she
learned to shoot and to look out for
her own welfare, for in that reckless
community it was quite necessary that
a woman should be able to care for
herself as well as a man.
In one of the constant scrimmages
with the Indians her father was killed
and the family was broken up. Martha
had TO shift for herself, and as all size
could do was TO ride and shoot, she got
aposition as scout under Gen. Crook

A woman who killed more than five
score of Indians, who has met and con-
quered dozen bad men and has been
in more deadly rows than falls to the
lot of a hundred average men, is now
earning living as book agent. This
Is Calamity Jane. Bret Harte made
her famous in The Luck of Roaring
Camp, but the woman pictured by the
novelist and the real Calamity Jane
are quite different personages.

indebted for the remarkable retention
of his faculties, both physical and
mental, which made him giant at
the age when the greater part of the
few men who reach it are no more
than children in strength and mind.
She always accompanied him on his
speechmaking tours. and if she did not
actually hold an umbrella over him. as
is shown in the picture taken at
Greenwich, she did other little things
which lessened his worries.
Mrs. Gladstone performed many OF
the duties of private secretary to her
illustrous husband, and did them far
better than any paid assistant, for she
had the dignity of being the wife of
the great man. Thousands of persons
there is no numbering them-who
came to see him and whom she knew
he did not care to see or should not
see, she took in hand and dismissed so
tactfully that they never guessed they
had been turned away.
The great premier fully appreciated
the services that his wife rendered
him. OF her he said, at reception
given him by the National Liberal
| club:
| No words that / could use would
ever suffice to express the debt that
owe her in relation to all the offices
that she has discharged on my behalf,
and on behalf of those that are near
est and dearest to us, during the long
and happy period of our conjugal
union"
| Had she been anything but re-
markably clever woman, she must
have been guilty of many mistakes and
indiscretious, meeting as she did the
highest dignitaries of the world. It is
said, however, that Mrs. Gladstone
never made mistake. Outwardly sh .
appeared artless and guileless, but
this was merely disguise she assumed
to cover her real personality She was
wonderfully acute and was the incar-
nation of discretion. Those who have
known her we'll say that she never lost
her self-possession.
Mrs. Gladstone cared nothing for
display At Hawarden castle, which
was her home from her birth to the
present-which seems the time of her
death-her life, as was that Of her hus-
band, was always simple and quiet,
though she never denied herself COM
forts. At the time of her marriage to
Mr.. Gladstone he bought portion of
the estate, and on the death of her
brother, about 25 years ago, the title
to the entire holding came to her.
The old Hawarden castle, now in ruins,
was in use at the time of the wars OF
the Danes and Saxons.
Mrs. Gladstone's own room at Ha-
warden Is thus described In an article
that appeared years ago in the London
illustrated News, and the room may be
taken as indicative to degree OF the
character of the woman:
Nothing could be simpler than Mrs.
Gladstones own living room, bright
and sunny, yellow-wailed, flower scent
ed, with an outlook from its wide win
dows upon the lawn. 1t is hung with
old pictures, and in case by the wall
are many presents to Mrs. Gladstone
from cities which she has visited"
Mrs. Gladstone was the mother of
eight children-four boys and four
girls. One of these sons entered the
church and later became the rector at
Hawarden. Two of the daughters
showed the influence of the theological
atmosphere in which they had been
brought up by marrying clergymen.
