there We're perhaps 800 people on the
outside peering in the windows anxious
to get sight of the woman with a world
wide reputation for joint smashing.
II am sorry to see You in such a bus

sucn a frank face" she continued, ard
then seeing the band of Grape he wore
around his hat she said Il am sorry
for you am a mother and can SYM
pathize with you in your sorrow
Once inside one of her party opened
the telegramss for her while she engag-
ed IN conversation with the men who
give directions in answering the mes
sages.
She began by saying that they were
in a nefarious business and that they
should stop damning young men to
drunkards lives.
.'Wel'' said one of the men, ssff we
don't some one else Will You should
begin at the fountain of the trouble, the

Why, how do you suppose we women

it is not right to run these murder
shops; why don't you close them up
before we women are forced to smash
them up with our hatchets?'
w ny UOnL you STOP Lne government

next argument.

get a band of women, determined wo-
men, and come back in a few days and
smash up every joint we can find if you
don't close / am going to stay in To-
peka till every joint is closed.'
Now" she continued, you are nice
boy and pointing at Charles Barber
who was leaning on the countr, she said
you look like a preacher"
Some one said that he was on the 9TH
