WAS A QUEENLY WOMAN.
yvinifred SAKE, a Pioneer, Had q
Charm That Svvayed All Who
Met Her.

Tradition has much to say about
Winifred SAKE. There are stories q
the singular influence she had over
her husband and sons. Every man who
came near her-even old Khasuke and
the few remaining Indians of his tribe
who fingered in the hills served
her gladly and took orders OF scold-
ings from her in silence. She had not
unusual beauty. There is silhouette
of her in existence which shows deli
cately cut face, full of tenderness and
fun. But certain women in all ages
have had an unaccountable charm,
magnetism which did not come from
beautiful person or face. Mrs. SAKE
probably was one of these. In ao ole
letter her brother says: s'Wlnefred
has the voice of a cooling dove, hatt on
occasion she shows the tempes OF
lioness.''
Her own family and the Saxes we're
the leaders, the dominant minority, in
d large territory, with its population
Of white settlers aadE indians. The
girl as much as Victoria, was born
to the belief that she belonged to
ruling class She was a little, gentle
woman, but always bore herself with
a certain quiet consciousness of powers
a native dignity BETTING a queen.
She had, assuredly, wider authority
than falls to the lot of the modern
woman, says Rebeeca Harding Davis
in Success. To begin with, she had II
children of her own and two or three
orphans who never knew that they
were not her own. The house was
large and the hearts of John and VIM
fired SAKE were big and warm. An
army of farmhands was fed in the
kitchen The house servants were
slaves, both black and white, for Penn
sylvania then had slaves. The white
ones were immigrants who were
| brought to America free of cost and
sold by ship captains in Philadelphia
for sums representing their passage
money They were bound out to their
new owners until they had worked out
this money. John SAKE crossed the
mountains once every two years, and
usually brought home some of these
''redemptionists.' Mrs. SAKE always
| had two, three or four 'sbond girls
| the daughters of poor white settlers.
| She took them when children and kept
them until they were of age, instruct
ing them in weaving, sewing and cook
ing, teaching them to write and cipheE
and TO fear God and keep His command
ments. They served her, and she ruled
| them as a faithful mistress. It was a
pure, pa triarchal relation.
What educat ion had she?
None, according to our ideas. Her
only books were the Bible and ssPiI-
grim's Progress but she knew them
by heart. Her language in her talk
and letters was modelled on their won
derful English. All of her thoughts
were based on their thoughts. She
knew nothing of philosophy or law.
She never had read novel or a play
or scientific book, but she talked
apart every day with Isaiah and with
David; she went through life and met
| death with John and Jesus Christ. Her
company, surely, was not .fgnobie.
AS for her knowledge she knew
men and women. It never. occurred to
her to paint a picture. or to make a
political speech or to dabble in science.
Her errand into the world, she well
knew, was to lift up human lives

Topeka Miners Alarmed.

Topeka millers are worried on 40

wheat at the local market and some
express the fear that the mills there
will have to close down. Prices have
advanced IL cents bushel within the

face of the fact that Kansas this year
