~ ~ MarY

There is no woman in the northwest
nently than does that of Mary Coch-
rane, Familiarity known as Indian
Mary" yet she is at present residing
in howell at the edge of the village OF
Stevensville, hamlet in the outskirts
of st. Joseph, Mich She is in strait
ened circumstances that approach dire
poverty and as she is very old and
probably will not live through the
present year the authorities will take
notice Of her case and attempt to make
easy the remainder of her life. She is
the most unique character in Michi-
gan. There is not person in Chicago
who lived there in the early days of
the city who does not remember IN
dian Mary" Time was in the early
days when she was a familiar figure
on the streets of Chicago, and there
was one particular period when she
was lauded as a heroine and the whole
city talked of her. This was during
the civil war, when she saved the life
of Colonel Mulligan, the famous COM
mander of the Mulligan Brigade, or
1.-The Irish brigade" as it was famili-
arly known. Colonel Mulligan was Sc
verely wounded. The battle ragged all
day, 1000 federal soldiers holding
back 5000 confederates until Mulligan
fell. Mulligan was removed to island
No. 10, near Lexington, where he Ian
guished for want of medical help.

Strange Anomaly in New York.

One of the strangest anomalies Of
New York is The Alimony club" Of
the Outdoor Poor department. For
decades the department has paid out
thousands of dollars each week toward
the support of divorced wives. The
dollars, however, were first paid in by
the estranged husbands. Fully 600
women on an average get alimony
from the offices in East Twenty-slxth
street. The sums they receive indi-
vidually range from 50 to SO, and the
total aggregates about $4,000 week.
In many cases the alimony is badly
needed by the divorced wives. In
other cases, however, 1t is often pure
vindictiveness that leads the women to
insist on their pound of flesh"
Hence, hanson cabs and automobiles
are not infrequent at the departments
office door. A well known actress fur
nishes an illustration of the fact that
alimony is not always needed. She
calls in an automobile for her SO a
week. The automobile costs her 81 a
trip. The actress makes collections
regularly-not from necessity, but

Extracting Rack-Rents and Giving to

The author of THE Bonnie Brier-
Bush" tells Stun story in the Cen
fury. 1t is called jasmine Court and
a High Ranger. Jasmine Court,
Chestnut Street, belonged to an excel
lent maiden lady who supported mis-
sion work among the women of India
with all of her spare means, and did
not know whence her income was
gathered, and would have been very
much Mortified if any one had told her
that her own tenants needed her help
very much more than the women in
the zenanas. Her estate, with others
OF the same kind, was managed by an
agent, who was not any worse by ma
ture than other men, but who con-
sidered it to be his duty to spend as
little as possible upon the property.

very much ashamed if any one had
accused him of sentiment, and his pol

charge; but even this austere man
had his lapses into poetry, although he
endeayored to make the muses. serve

the street, to which his property chung
like child to the skirts of a very I'M
| sympathetic mother, was called Back
Hooley Lane, he was quite content
that his court should be known as
No. II, and, indeed, except for police
sheets and coroners inquests. it did
not really require any name. Chest
nut Street quickened the Imagination
of the agent, and as occasionally he
had been told that his property was a
moral disgrace to the city-this from
the philanthropic visitors,-and also
that it was a sanguinary pigsty-this

tants-he felt that something must be
done; and instead of cleaning and re-

odd Oklahoma Jnstice.


II one wants to find an. extraordinary
brand of justice he must go to Okla
homa or some other region known in
general parlance as the bounding
west. At Alva man was arrested
for stealing two hogs, which he hauled
to Waukomis and sold for $2O.5O. The
law defines grand larceny as the steal
ing of something of more value than
500, and petit larceny as the stealing
of something of less value than this
sum. The question in the hog case
was whether it was grand or petty
larceny. The lawyer for the prisoner
argued that while the hogs had been
sold for more than 500, the prisoner
was entitled to a credit Of 81 for haul
ing them to market, which would re-
duce their value to less than $50 and
the crime of his client to petty larceny.
And the court SO found.

frontiersman is expected to behave.
Bret Harte and his satellites go on
writing from impressions which the
former received a score of years ago.
Out in Cheyenne we celebrate one day
of every year by revival of old sports
and customs, and call it Frontier day.
But the simple fact that we set aside
one day in the year and call it what
we do implies that all the rest OF the
year we don't have frontier days. On
that one day COW ponies are ridden by
cowboys, but the COW ponies are moth

the cowboys are not near so realistic
as they are expected to be. There ara
races, and pistol-fring with blank
cartridges, and stage-coach robberies,

miniature white sombreros on satin

A PRESIDENTIAL KISS.
Head of French Republic Kisses His
Mother Before Thousands.


Baron Perre de Coubertin writes in
the Century of Emile Loubet, presi-
dent of the French Republic, record
ing incidentally one of the little &C.
currences that have made the chief ex-
ecutive a popular man: What was 1t
that Emile Loubet did to cause him
to be so highly thought of by those
who gave him their votes? If you
should ask the general public or in
terrogate current opinion or the press
you would be answered with the COM
monplace which one hears SO often in
similar cases. oh" they would say
to you, "he didn't do anything" At
the famous Partisan tavern, the Black
Cat" where all the men of the day
are touched off in popular ballads, the
answer was somewhat different. The
refrain of a political song that met
with great success year ago was this:
"Loubet. oh, how much he
loved his mother" And from stanza
to stanza we find the good people Of
Montelimar, and even the entire
French people, represented as over
come by the affection which Emile
Loubet showed for his mother, that
most respectable peasant woman, who
lives in Montelimar. The explanation
of this song is an episode in the life
Of the president, which rebounds COM
pletely to his honor On the day that
he entered his native town for the
first time as president of the republic
he saw his mother seated on one Of the
tribunes, watching the procession pass.
At once he caused his carriage to be
stopped, and, without the slightest
regard for the pomp and otficialdom
with which he was surrounded, he got
out of the carriage and ran over to kiss
the old lady, being unwilling to wait
to the end of the ceremonies. Such a
spontaniety of feeling as his, and such
simplicity of manners, far from shock
ing, were sure to gain for him the
hearts of Frenchmen. But by putting
this little episode in relief the ballad
maker wished to impress his hearers
with the idea that there was nothing
in the political career of Emile Loubet
which was more interesting to note
than this family scene.

SOME VIRGINIA BLUE LAWS.
'uritan New England Not tho Only


Stern Commonwealth.
The official public fogging of women
IN Virginia has aroused much unfavor-
able comment and many bitter re-
marks about "chivalry in the Old Do
minion." AS a matter of fact, says
the New York Tribune, the incident is
nothing more than a mild revival of
the blue laws" of Colonial times
laws surprising in severity any at
tributed to Connecticut or any other
Puritan colony. 1t has long been a
by-word that in Connecticut a man
was forbidden to kiss his wife on Sun
day. But in Virginia any young woman
who was guilty of Irritation or who en-
couraged more than one man to pay
her sentimental attention was liable to
be logged! 1t was forbidden to speak
evil of dignitaries in New England;
but in Virginia if one ventured to crit
icise the governor he was put into the
pillory. The straitlace righteousness
of the Puritans has been made fun of;
but in Cavalier Virginia it was forbid

voyage on Sunday save go to church.
or to fire gun on Sunday, excepting
to shoot an Indian. That the shooting
of Indians, of course in defense Of the
colonists, was considered a proper
function on the Sabbath is shown by
the fact that every head of family
was required, under penalty to bring
with him to church every Sunday
gun and plenty of ammunition. 1t is
interesting to recall too, that speculat-
ing in the markets by buying fu-
lures" was sternly prohibited, under
penalty of fine, Imprisonment and the
plllory. Since in old time in the
Kingdom of Virginia" maidens were
f1ogged for flirting, there is no especial
incongruity in applying the same pun
ishment to women convicted of gross
immoralities. Nevertheless, the best
judgment OF mankind must be that it
was performance which reflected no
credit for those responsible for it.
There are those who approve of the
whipping post for the punishment of
wife heaters and for certain other male
offenses. But the official logging Of
women. no matter how much they may
have forfeited their title to woman
hood, is altogether revolving. 1t is pain
full to recall that it was sanctioned
and ordered by the grim pioneers Of
WAITS and Yeardley's time. That it
should be done for any cause in the
first year of the Goth century is a
shame for which Virginia may we'll
blush

coREAN GIRLS.
But Little Pleasure Enters Into Their

but Little Pleasure Enters Into Their
Monotonous Lives.
Marriage does not bring happiness
to girls in Corea any more than to
those in other parts of the far east.
When young a girl is allowed a free
dom which is denied her later, and it Is
not till she attains the dignity of being
mother-in-law that she begins to en-
joy life again.
The daughter Of Corean house is
OF little consequence, while son is Of
great Importance, and his advent into
the family circle is always welcomed
with Joy. When very young the boys
and girls play together, but when they
reach the age of eight or ten a great
distinction is made. In the families of
wealth, where none of the women of
the family are obliged to do any Of the
homework or toll in the fields, the
daughters are secluded in the part Of
the house reserved for the women, into
which no men are allowed to enter.
Their brothers dwell in the mer s
apartments, where they are free to do
what they please.
Education in Corea is provided to a
certain extent for the boys and young
men, but it is almost an unheard-o
thing for girl to be allowed to learn
anything outside of the purely domes-
tic accomplishments. The girl is a
mere chattel; she is not even consider
ed unit of society. AS an illustration
of how far this idea is carried it is in
teresting to note that the girl has lit
orally no name. When she is a mere
child surname is given to her for
convenience, but when she marries she
gives it up and merges her identity in
that of her husband. Her parents call
her by the ward or district in which
she contracted her marriage; her par
ents-in-law call her by the name of the
village from which she has come. Later
on, when she has children, she is nam
ed the Mother of So and So."
