Riehts of Navajo Women.

The Navajo woman. who has made
her tribe the most famous of all living
Indian races by means Of her great and
ket, occupies Il social position Of great
independence. Her property rights are
carefully respected. She owns much of
the wealth OF the tribe, and her chill
dren belong to her alone. A woman
may have hundreds Of sheep when she
marries. and not one becomes the prop
erty of her husband. Descent is traced
through the female line. 1t is a sur
vival Of the primitive matri-archate
The Navajo woman has no perma-
nent home. The progress of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by it's dark
superstition that every death is caus-
ed directly by Chinde, the devil. and
that evil spirits linger about the dead
body. The house is never occupied
again. The corpse Is buried in the
floor, and the house pulled down over
it, and n Navajo would freeze before
he would make fire upon the logs Of
one Of these deserted heaps. So the
Navajo "hogan" is poor, temporary
affair, a mere circular hut Of logs and
stones, with hole in the roof for the
smoke and blanket for the door. In
the summer the Navajo woman loves to
move into brush ''wickyup," made of
greasewood boughs. There she sets up
her loom in the shadow Of the rocks,
and lives in the open air all summer.

Novel Reasons of a Judge.

\ Philadelphia magistrate is some
times a little eccentric in the punish
ment of those hauled before him for
misdemeanOrs The other day Bill
Jones, who had been found upon the
public highway minus the faculty of
navigation, was arraigned before him.
Married or single?" asked the mag
istrate.
Single, SIR" replied the shaking cul-
prit.
You ought to get married. If you
had wife and family to occupy your
attention you would have no desire to
drink" said the magistrate. I'll dis
charge you, but hope that you'll give
TO matrimony more thought than you
have to liquor.
John Smith. who had also been ar
rested for being intoxicated, WAS next
called.
Married or single, John:" Queried
the magistrate
Married. your honor" was the pris-
oner's reply.
Then you have no business getting

mained single, then the damage you are
doing would fall upon you alone. Go

Pats Attempt at Suicide.

Pat had come over to America with
the expectation of finding money ly-

some one to pick it up. OF course this
was long ago. Pat had soon become
disillusiOned and was always glad to
get hold Of odd jobs which would net
him littl0 something to help him
keep body and soul together. Finally
becoming tired of the struggle, he de
cided to end it all, and was very in

waist when his landlord happened in

for a few minutes, he asked:

He tried many medicines, but he
could not get any relief till he COM

Not Miles, but Stanton.

The public has always been under
the impression that Gen. Nelson A.
Miles issued the orders placing the
shackles on President Jefferson Davis
during his Imprisonment, as taught by
most histories. Several days ago there
was In Mobile F. NJ. Shipman, of Me-
ridian, Miss. In conversation with
him the subject Of Mr.. Davis impris.
Onment was mentioned, the name of
Gen. Miles was mentioned as the of.
ficer responsible for this seemingly
brutal act.
Mr.. Shipman, who was then a lieu.
tenant in the United States army, said
that he was In command Of the guard
whose duty it was to watch the fort in
which the noted prisoner was kept and
forcibly declares that Gen. Miles was
not the one who issued the orders. He
says that the secretary of war. Edwin
NJ. Stanton. was the dictator and is
suer of these great talked-of orders.
The secretary sent the orders to Gen.
Miles, who then gave them to Mr..
Shipman that he might carry them into
execution, which was done. After
wearing the shackles for two hours
they were removed from the prisoner.
Another order accompanied this one,
saying that anything on Mr.. Davis
person was to be sent to Gen. Miles.
Mr.. Shipman found this duty much
more difficult to perform, as there were
many small articles that Mr.. Davis
wished to retain. One article In par
ticular. was a comb given him by his
wife, but in accordance with orders
Mr.. Shipman was compelled to send
all TO Gen Miles, sending with them a
request that they be returned to Mr..
Davis. which was done short time af.
terward.
Mr.. Shipman does not know whether
the last order was issued by the secre-
tary of war or not, says the Birming-
ham (Ala) News, but has every rea-
son to believe it was.
Mr.. Davis was allowed neither a
knife nor fork during his imprison-
ment. This hardship Mr.. Shipman was
able to overcome by the assistance Of
one of the guards who carved from
hard wood knife and fork tnat Mr..
Davis might use. The knife was in
possession of lady in Alabama when
last heard from.

Kenesaw Picturesque Fight.


'The most picturesque battle l ever
witnessed was at Kenesaw," remarked
Gen. Joseph Wheeler. 1T was on the
morning of June 81. 1861. that We Con-
federates found that Sherman had
strengthened his picket line. and pres
emily he began warm fire in our di-
rection. Within half an hour after the
small arms opened on us the heavy
field pieces began TO pour rakins fire
into our lines. Our breastworks were
strong and So We're those of the Fed
erals. Directly l knew that this con-
tinued firing meant an assault upon us.
when the sun was we'll up l saw
long line Of Federals rise up out Of
their breastwOrks. move forward 800
yards and then lie down. 1t was 4
majestic sight, even to a Confederate.
Then in a few minutes another line OF
soldiers was seen to rise up, march
forward 200 yards in good order and
then lie down. During all this time the
Federals Were keeping up n continuous
fire. In twenty minutes the fire had be-
come so fierce that our pickets were
driven back and our forces were in a
rather demoralized condition. In the
meantime number of Union soldiers
had reached our breastwOrks and Were
engaged in hand-tO-hand conflict with
our men. Then the Confederates rallied

RooseveIt's Antitrust Speeches.
The Republican President is declar-
ing on the stump that the trusts are
productive of evil and must he controll-
ed in the public interest.
The Republican party for six years
has had full power 10 curb the trusts.
but has done nothing. While Presi-
dent Roosevelt advocates governmental
control Of the giant combinations. one
of them. the Coal Trust. is harassing
industry and pillasins all classes in
the community by keeping the mines
closed and doubling the price Of coal.
The President could proceed against
the Coal Trust by ordering his Attorney
General to prosecute its members under
the Sherman law. And Mr. Roosevelt's
Attorney General chooses this time to
make a trip to Europe.
The Republican conventions of Iowa
and Idaho. giving voice to the senti-
ment of large and growing element of
the rank and file of the Presidents
party. have demanded, 10 the distress
and alarm of the leaders. that the tar
i'll shall he so revised as to deprive
monopolies of its shelter-so revised.
this means, that trusts which sell their
wares cheaper abroad than they do at
home shall he subjected TO foreign COM
petition.
But Mr. Roosevelt. who knows. of
course, that the tariff is the chief bull
wark of the trusts. has not a word to
say about the tariff. Nevertheless the
President is doing n good work. He
recognizes the existence of the trust
evil and admits the justice of the DEM
freedom enjoyed by these combinations
to plunder the people.
That is great Republican advance
upon Mr.. Hanna's position during the
Presidential campaign of 1900: There
are not trusts" And upon Mr.. Hanna's
announcement made only few weeks
ago that ''the only mOnopolies We have
in this country are those protected by
patents
II would be gratifying to hear from
Mr.. Roosevelt on the tariff and on the
Coal Trust, but his speeches neverthe-
less are excellent in spirit. so far as
they go.
Yet no relief from trust monopoly
and trust robbery can be looked for
from the Presidents party. which.
while he is making his popular
speeches, is campaigning to secure
again do-nOthing majority in the
House of Representatives. The reason
why no relief can be expected from the
Presidents party is this: The Repub-
lican party Is owned by the trusts
