POLYGAMY DYING OUT.
A MuBhiplicfty of Wives IL Becoming
Dtstasteful to the Women
of Turkey,

"Polygamy is fast dying out among
the Turks, and not on account of any
change in moral standards, but be-
cause of the attitude of the women
themselves. Formerly mans four
or hve wives dwelt amicably under
one roof, but now every wife do
mands home Of her own, and the
impossibility of supporting so many
homes is compelling the average
Turk to limit his harem to one
wife,"
This new proof of the civilizing
influence of woman, says the Chi
cago Tribune, was given recently by
Miss Florence A. Fensham, dean of
the American college for girls at
Constantinople, in talk before the
League for Political Education in
New York on "The Outlook for the
Woman of the Orient"
Another statement that seemed
novel to many of the audience was:
The Turks as race are of fair
complexion, with blue eyes, and are
delightful people to know They are
truthful, honest, and hospitable in a
nigh degree. In these respects the
mass of the Turks-those of the ,lp-
per and middle class-differs greatly
from the government; but q. nation
must be judged, not by it's highest
nor its lowest, but by the great
class between
There is general impression
abroad that Turkish women are shut
up behind the lattice windows of the
harem. and have little freedom to
go about. This is far from correct.
Inc Bosporus steamers are crowded
with them; they jostle you on every
mana IN the narrow streets of Con-
stantinople. Yelled they musts be.
put Velled they go about with a free
dom greater than that assured any
european woman. for to modest y
Moslem woman means death to a
Turk, and serious consequences to a
foreigner
1T is an acknowledged fact that
the women of Turkey control most
or the government appointments. To
quote from a work recently pub
lished by one long resident of the
country, The women hold ultimate
sway over the conduct of the men.
The tangled intrigues for place and
power, which center in the harem,
form the key to many vicissitudes of
Turkish history.'"
Even the dress of the women of
the harem, said Miss Fensham. shows
their growing independence. few
years ago every woman wrapped her
sel1 before going out in an upper gar
ment that completely enshroud-
ed her head and was not to be removed
until she was again in the house. Now
all the younger women have adOnted
looser head covering, that they drop
at Will when on the Bosphorus steam
ers for pleasure trip or resting else
where. Several edicts were issued Nv,
the sultan against the innova tion. but
after few months of obedience the
women would quietly resume their
new headdress until another edict
banished it for time. At last he be-
came wearied of the struggle. and the
modern fashion has become a settled
thing.

Special Notice.

The Southwest Kansas Teachers
Association, that meets in Kinslex on
Thanksgiving, will have two leading
features-the elocuti onary contest on
Thanksgiving evening and the King
lecture on Friday evening following.
The enrellment fee for the teachers of
the Southwest Kansas District is
fifty cents, which admits them to all
the entertainments. The citizens of
Kinsley and Edwards county will
have the same privilege If they enroll.
We hope to have one hundred of the
people of Kiusley enroll. The King
lecture alone will be at least thirty
five cents, and the people of Kinsley

tion you get to hear both entertain
ments for fifty cents, and not only
that, but you will help to swell the
enrolment and make the Kinsley
meeting of the association a great
success.

From the workings of her busy lite:
From the worlds ceaseless stir OF care and
strife.
Into the shade and etillness of her Heavenly
guide,
For a brief space she has been called aside"
Resolved, That we commend to her
surviving relatives and friends a
closer study of those graces of char
acter which all should strive to emu
late.
Resolved, That we will remember
her virtues, cherish her memory and
strive to profit by her example of,
cheerfulness and patience in her hours
Of suffering.
Resolved, That we extend to the
family our heartfelt sympathy in this
sad bereavement and pray Gods
blessing upon them who SO keenly
feel the loss of wife, mother and
friend. May they emulate her virtues
and honor her name.

far there has beea good demand for

for local consumption seems to be a
little short. There has been quite a

Dienified Pedagogues and Blushing
Schoolma'ms Will Arrive.

The Southwest Teachers Associa-
tion meets in this city next week.
The first session will be held Thursday
evening. There will be morning and
afternoon meetings on Friday and in
the evening Byron King will lecture.
This association coming here is a
great honor to our city and it be-
hooves our people to see to it that they
rise to the occasion and make such
provision for the comfort of our
guests that they may feel when re-
turning to their homes that they have
been welcome and we'll entertained.
We do. not believe that some of our
people fully understand the gravity
OF the situation and the necessity of
action that the fair name of our
people and the. reputation for hospi-
tality of our city may be maintained.
At time like this we feel the lack of
a commercial club to assist the people
who have this matter in charge.
Superintendent Clark and Prot
Baugher and the teachers are doing
all in.their power, but more is neces-
sary, as will be understood when we
state that>with fair weather we will
probably have two hundred visitors
to care for. Our hotels are taxed
90 their capacity nearly every night
and sleeping places must be provided
Tor all OF these guests, for while the
hotels, boarding houses and restau-
rants can supply most of the meals,
they cannot furnish sleeping accom-
m0dations for but small per cent
OF the number expected. Our people
should Immediately notify either Mr..
Clark or Prof. Baugher of the number
they can furnish sleeping accomm oda-
tions for, so that arrangements may
be perfected for taking care of these
people as they arrive. 1t is under
stood that uniform price of twenty
five cents each for meals and lodging
has been agreed upon. What our
people should do and do at once is to
let the gentlemen know just what can
be depended on in the way of assist
anee in taking care, of the visitors.
