that she must hurry back to the ex-

To a Courler-Journal reporter she
said:
"Mr. Coyle has been my manager

Poultry and Fruit Raising For
Women.

IhlS is an age OF push, pull,
and get there if you can. Peo-
pie are crazy on the subject of
money getting. Vastnultitudes
are surging, drifting, elm bing,
digging and dying for gold or its
equivalent. To the victor be-
longs the spoils is a ruinous
aphorism that is becoming woven
in our governmental, social and
financial IA brio.
1t would hardly be wonder if
in this mighty scramble women
were left out of the count, Yet
such is not the case. Every
thinking person sees that the
women of this age are abreast
with the leaders, and whether
the women, or the spirit of the
age, is responsible for this hope
full condition, the result is the
same. 1t is one of the most
cheering signs of the times that
the womanhood of America is
taking it's rightful place in the
work and advancement of the
world. To do this woman does
+ not have to be masculine, cloud"
or bold. There are a thousand
volumes that lead to success if
pursued by the true woman. A
thousand opportunities for her
purifying, elevating influence to
work in a God-directed channel,
accomplish the two-fold work of
helping her own family as well
as benefting others. The school
room, the counting room, and the
dry goods store is open to her
services in the city, and the poul-
try, fruit, early garden, milk and
butter, in the country, await the
intelligent and painstaking care
of her hands.
There are so many women in
our cities, sewing all day and
half the night for barely enough
to keep soul and body together,
while many thousands of dollars
are being made by less proud,
but wiser women, everywhere
in the country. Thepoultry and
small fruit farming offers a pc.
cullarly inviting field to women
who have no homes and whom
make their own living by their
own labor. We have many eX'
amples of what a woman can dc
and has done in the poultry bus
mess. She is a born lover oil
| pets. She counts it no trou BILE tC
provide for them, She can dc
more work with less complaint
than a man, and above all the
"little things" are not forgotten,
We do not belong to the large
army of women who are wild for
recognition at the ballot box, yet
we believe when it comes, as it
surely will, there will be Ia puri
fication in politics, as everything
else with which women are con.
nected, 1t will have a great ten.
J dency to purify our homes, and
make the boys feel that they
should stand for purity as they
expect their sistsrs and sweet
hearts to do.
Naturally contented with un.
ostentatious work, we women find
plenty to do atpresent within the
range of the good and useful, in
helping others to find a way to
do a woman's work in woman S
way,

FIGHT ABOUT TIMBER.

TODD farmers on the Oneida Indian
reservation have been arrested by the
United States marshal, charged with
cutting timber belonging to the gov.
eminent to the value of $4,000. AT
the same time the government is
preparing to bring suit against
number of prominent mill owners in
the northern part Of the state to re-
cover the value Of the lumber, which
will approximate $4,000. Three lum-
bering firms are involved.
1t is charged by the government
that the Indians cut more timber than
they were permitted to. The Indians,
however, claim that the right to cut
timber was an unlimited one. The
result is that there will be a big
fight between the Indians and the
mill owners on one side and the gov.
eminent on the other. It will result

EXCITEMENT ON 'CHANGE.
Vast Fortunes Made and Lost Yesterday ct
New Y0rk-BlOcks Of Stock Ban
died About.

New York, Jan. 5.-Yesterday was
one of the most exciting days in the
history of the New York Stock ex-
change. The matter of recording the
transactions on the exchange is in
exact at the best and especially in
such market as yesterday are trans
actions likely to be lost from the rec
ord. But there can be no doubt
that the aggregate sales yesterday ex-
ceeded anything ever done before on
the exchange. The recorded trans
actions footed up 1,837,9OO shares,
compared with the previous record of
1,623,919 shares on November ~, 1900
There have been wider price move
ments than any of those made yester-
day in individual stocks, or in groups
of stocks, but it is doubtful whether
there has ever before been so violent
u fuctuation in the average price for
all stocks traded in as from the low
price to the high price yesterday
The confusion during the early hours
of the market, while the ultimate
course of prices was still in contro-
versy, was beyond all description and
the excitement during the late hours
of the day, when the demand was at
its height and prices were moving
most rapidly upward, warrants the
use of the term frenzy. Blocks Of
many thousand shares of stocks were
banded about from hand to hand
among the brokers with no more ap-
parent consideration, beyond the ex-
citement of the game, than boys show
in playing marbles. Considering the
extreme variations in prices and the
highly concentrated character of some
OF the dealings, it is no exaggeration
to say that vast fortunes were made
and lost on the floor of the exchange
during the day.
