WIVES AND THE LAW.
Significant Evidence Of Woman's In
creasing Independence.

From Housekeeper
No more significant evidence of woman's
increasing independence is afforded than
the changed attitude with which the law re-
CARDS her status after marriage To real
lie the radical reform that has been effect
ed In this regard during the last fifty years
we have only to recall the marriage pro-
test Of Lucy Stone. the famous advocate
or equal suffrage. Upon her marriage in
1855 to Henry B. Blackwell, both she and
her husband signed a protest against
such of the present laws of marriage as
refuse to recognize the wife as an indie
pendent, rational being, while they confer
upon. the husband an Injurious and I'M
natural superiority, investing him with Ie-
gal powers which no honorable man would
exercise and which no man should
possess" Among the laws protested
against were those giving the husband the
exclusive control and guardianship of the
children; the sole ownership of the wife's
personal estate and the use of her real es-
tate. unless previously placed in the hands
OF trustees; the absolute right to the prod
uct of the wife's industry, and, finally pro-
test was made against 1.-The whole system
by which the legal existence of the wife Is
suspended during marriage. SO that she
neither has legal part In the choice of her
residence nor can she make a will, nor sue
property" Then the newly married couple
cited this as their creed:
I'VE believe that personal independence
and equal human rights can never be for
feited except for crime; that marriage
should be an equal and permanent partner
ship and SO recognized by law; that until it
is so recognized married partners should
provide against the radical Injustice of
present laws by every means in their
power"
1t is gratifying to observe how, during
the last half century. the various unfair
determinations which were the objects of
Lucy Stones marriage protest" have been
removed from the statute books and laws
substituted which embody the long-looked-
for justice. Different states have special
laws. but. throughout the country the prin-
ciple holds good that a married woman,
without the consent of her husband may
receive. hold and manage property and sell
or bequeath 1t, as she sees fit In most
states, too, she may make contracts in
her own name and" incur liabilities.

Where He Crossed the Equator.
F1on Success.


AS one of the very few occasions when
the wit of Rufus Choate was foiled an
incident is recalled when that brilliant
lawyer was examining one Dick Barton,
chief mate of the ship Challenge. Choate
had cross-examined him for over an hour,
hurting questions with the speed of a
rapid-fire gun.
WAS there a moon that night?"
Eyes, SIR"
did you see it7"
mo. SIR"
'@Then how did you know there was
moon?'
The Nautical Almanac said so, and
I'll believe that sooner than any lawyer
in the world"
BE civil, SIR And now tell me In what
latitude and longitude you crossed the
equator?
"Ah, you are Joking"
NO. sir, I'm In earnest and desire an
answer"
That's more than can give"
Indeed You a chief mate and unable
to answer so simple q question:

asked. ! thought even fool of q lawyer
