WOMAN ELECTED JUDGE.
Mrs. NJ. Agnes Garrett, of Garrett.
Wye, the First Genuine Portia
in Real Life.

Woman has entered many spheres
formerly considered suited only to
man, including even the legal profess
sion. but it has remained for Mrs.
M. Agnes Garrett, of Garrett. Wyo.,
to be the first to don the judicial
ermine.
1t is true all theater-goers have
seen a Portia essay the role, but Wy
oming presents the only duly elected
and qualified female justice of the
peace known in the United States,
and probably in the world.
Mrs. Garrett was chosen by the
voters of Garrett precinct at the late
election, and she will assume her jul
dicial duties the first Tuesday follow
ing the first Monday in January. The
more strenuous duties of the consta-
BILE, however, have been left to one
physically capable of executing the
orders of Mrs. CARROTS court, Elmer
E. Slothower having been elected to
enforce the commands of the fe-
male judge. Mrs. Garrett has written
for the Chicago American correspond
ent the following brief sketch of her
career and purposes:

land, in 1862, and came to Wyoming

all this, and thought he found it in
labor. At first he had told himself
that he would be silent partner in
the iron works, leaving all the activi-
ties to the practical Raymer; but he
soon found this blankly impossible.
And with personal interest and the
shifting point of view came a change,
gradual and almost insensible, in his
attitude toward mankind in general
and toward the workers in particu-
lar. So it came about that while he
was writing a book, designed to over
turn the existing social order, he
was drifting slowly but surely into
the ranks of the oppressors.
The first open confession of this
change of creed came when the
threat of a strike rose storm-cloud
like on the iron works horizon. Ray
mer was for temporizing with the
men, and for yielding something if
need be; but this Griswold fought
stoutly, growing more stubborn as
the threatening cloud increased in
size If the men could not see for
OhOhSClNCo "udt was Dcot
interests, they must be made to see.
But in reality it was Margery who
was responsible for the major
changes in the book. Caring nothing
at all for the ethical question in
volved, she cared a great deal for
the success of the author. and she
was shrewd enough to arrive quickly
at a double conclusion; that Girls
void was well able to write a sue
cessful book; and that, left to him
self, he would assuredly spoil it with
his theories. So she labored faith
fully to keep him in broader road
and not without goodly measure
of success.
But, Margery,"-(they were well
past the Mr." and "Mies" by this
time)--I can't do that" he said
one morning when they had been re-
working the plot through one OF the
coy sitting-room talks
Don't you see It begs the entire
question Of labor and capital?"
II see that you can't help doing It
unless you are deliberately false to
your art" retorted the literary ora
Gle.
You have put these people on the
stage, giving them certain characters.
and they must go on and do the
things that are consistent"
Not n the consistent things arc
going to make the entire picture out
of drawing"
She laughed "How impossible a
man can be-" she reioined, sweetly.

DUE TO INDIFFERENCE.
Decadence In Modern Manners Now IL
Ascribed to Excessive Frank
ness and Honesty.

Somebody has discovered that the
decadence in modern manners does
not necessarily denote our increased
brutality or absolute Indifference to
the feelings and needs of other people.
1t is balm to the soul to be assured OF
this fact.
We have admitted to ourselves for
some time past that our manners have
not the repose which should mark the
caste of We're de We're, and that we are
indeed frankly discourteous to each
other. We also know that many men
are no longer particular how they act
or what they say in the presence of
women, and do not even observe the
small courtesies of life where mem
bers of the opposite sex are concerned.
Men no longer hesitate to let woman
wait on them, or to push her aside in a
crowd, or to smoke in her face unapol-
ogetically, as if that were their natural
right. We certainly are less polished
and ceremonious than were our fore
bears.
Facing this fact, it is pleasing to be
assured that the change is not due to
selfishness, but is simply the express
sion of our desire to be honest, to avoid
shams. Therefore, if we sometimes
overstep the limit and cultivate I'M
pleasant freedom of speech and ac-
ton, manifest unrestrained rudeness,
we are to be excused on the ground
of our excessive frankness and hon
esty.-Chicago American.

Mrs. Garrett is evidently a woman
of advanced education. Being a prac-
ticed penman, or rather penwoman,
she will keep her own dockets, and.
possessing some knowledge of legal
forms, she will use that knowledge
to acquire more. A number of cases,
small but important to the litigants,
have already been continued from
the docket of the retiring justice to
that over which Justice Garrett will
preside, and it is apparent she will
have the opportunity very frequently
to bring into play any of Portals
qualities she may possess.

one person with whom he could dis
cuss it with helpful freedom.
Do what he might he could not
bring himself to the point of tax,
ing Charlotte into his confidence in
the matter of the book. Though it
was wholly underlined in his own
mind, the barrier was the one which
had been builded on the voyage up
the river. The more he saw of Char
lotte, and the more his love for her
grew and throve, the less possible
it became to look forward to a day
when he might hope to tell her all
with a fair probability of winning
her approval of the thing he had
done.
But with Margery no such difficult
ty existed. Her sympathy was al
ways quick and intuitiye, and she
seemed to have the gift of saying in
stinctively the thing he craved most;
the thing he might have suggested if
she were not always beforehand with
him. He was not SO besotted as to
believe that he had discovered in her
that other half of the artists ALWAYS
incomplete circle; the one person in
the world who can fully understand
him. On the contrary, in his So
berer moments he thought he knew
her for what she was. But these dis
illusions grew less frequent as visits
to Mereside became more frequent.
and in time they began to disappear
altogether. For Mistress Margery
was wise in her generation, knowing
many things well and the heart of
a man better than any.

the story was merely vehicle load
ed to overlooking with the socialistic
protests of its author. But in the
rewriting new plot had been SUBJ
stituted; suggested, nay, even out
lined, by Mistress Margery herself;
and on the keel thus laid the VEN
ture built itself into something more
like a novel and less like a preach
ment. Griswold saw the growth of
it under his hand; saw the far-reach-
ing possibilities of it; saw also that
it was departing, despite his most
strenuous efforts, from the course
which he had pricked out on the
chart of the former endeavor in
other words, the new book babe fair
TO grow into something which the
publishers might accept and the pub
lie might buy and read, but of the
rights of man there was coming to
be less and less as the work pro-
crossed.
