 Nellie, you must write a book and put these things in it..
 Nellie did. The little book was the beginning of her writing on school top les She prepared during her years of teaching many important papers on ed ucation treated from the philosophical point of view. She founded a magazine called The Primary School. the first American periodical devoted to the be- ginnings of children's education. Her enthusiasm once aroused in this direction, the ndefatigable little lady continued to work for the public school as 1t should be. She organized teachers improvement associations. She contin- ued writing educational papers and they came to attract attention in Eu- rope as well as here. Some of them were translated and printed in peda- gogical journals in Germany. At length in 1893 Miss Kenyon became editor of the different educational periodicals is- sued by a publishing house in New York. She also wrote entirely a de- partment of the magazine.

Nellie Kenyon was immensely surprised when a little later she received letter informing | her that Brother Jack and r. was ac- cepted and requesting her to call on i Mrs. Croly to help arrange the illustra- tions.
 To support herself through this or deal Nellie took d school friend into her confidence and persuaded this friend to go with her to Mrs. Croly When the two girls appeared before her gentle Jennie June looked Nellie Kenyon over from head to foot and said to her, You are very young to have written that story" Thereupon Miss Kenyon made a statement which the friend tells on her to this day, statement the most extraordinary that ever issued from the lips of feminine creature:
 "Oh, I'm not so young as I look"
 Meanwhile during the time Jennie June was talking 10 Nellie Kenyon the schoolmate, slyly edged near to the fa- nous woman editor so that her own skirt might touch that of the editor. She did this in order that she might afterward cut out the piece of her skirt tHdJ tOuVHeu tTOly dHu keep IL as a sovenir. Girls will be girls
 With this first success and similar ones that followed, for awhile the chances were about even whether Miss Kenyon would be a writer of fiction or an author dealing with philosophical and educational topics She was drawn about equally both ways. When she became a teacher In the public schools the question was settled. Teacher she was and is. whether orally or in print.
 The next step in authorship followed in an odd way after she began teach ing. It came about through Miss Ken yon's sense of humor. The noon hour she and the other teachers in her build ing spent together. The district was one inhabited largely by an immigrant population, and the children's efforts at English speaking were at times fearful and wonderful The school was also a continuous performance of amusing in-

All those who have families dependent upon them will be taken care of so far as possible, though 1t may be nec- essary to shift them from mine to mine. About 10000 unmarried men were ordered off work today.
 This Is the first time in the history or mining in Western Pennsy1yania that so many mines have been ordered closed through drought. Little or no coal has been sent down the river since late in the summer and it Will now take several days reth to start the coal out and open up the mines.

NEGLECTED HEROINE
 IGNORED
sACAJANEA THE INDIAN WOMAN WHO GUIDED LEWIS AND CLARK
On Their Perilous Journey to Have a Memorial Statue at Western
 Worlds FaIr.

The Lewis and Clark Centennial, at Portland. oregon which Is to be held
 in celebration of the tooth anniversary of the expeditions of Captains Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Coast in 1905, will bring into promin ence the achieve ments of heroine who has been too long neglected. A heroic statue of Sncajawea. the heroine of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. to cost $7000, is
 to be placed in the central court of the Exposition. An association known as the Sacaiawea Statue Association. has the matter in charge, and promin ent western women of Oregon, Washington. Idaho. Montana, the Dakotas, Nebras- ka, Utah and Colorado are interested in the undertaking. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. author of The Conquest" Is president of the association.
 Sacajawea, or Tsakakawea, as some authorities write her name, was the Bird woman who guided Lewis and Clark across the noun tains. and who on sev erel occasions aided the explorers when all hope of ever seeing the ocean seemed lost. Next to Jefferson who sent them. 1t Is Sacajawea who guided them. who deserves to be eulogized with Lewis and Clark.
 The story of Sacajawea forms a TO- nance of enthralling interest. Here was the patient, untiring, faithful hero ism. that must appeal to most people as the truest type. Sacajawea belonged to the Shoshone. or Snake Indians When a child eleven years old. she was taken captive by the enemies of her tribe. the Minnetarees, or Blackfeet, and at the age of fifteen she was sold as slave to a French voyageur, named Chabonneau. To this French man. described nowhere as anything but common. a man of no culture or in- nate refinment, the Indian girl was a faithful wife. It was in the spring of 1S05. when the Lewis and Clark ex- petition was about to start westward. after spending the winter among the Shoshones. that Sacajawea. then the became a part of the expedition; and from that time on the part this eigh- teen year old girl played was of no small importance. Her degenerate husband was taken along to act as in terpreter.
 From the first, We are told, Saca- jawea was popular with the captains on account of her mild and engaging qualities. And. although burdened with her babe. she labored with the men as they worked their way up the upper Missouri, and soon performed an important service. The canoe in which she and husband and child rode, and which bore the papers, scientific in and medicines of the ex- petition, was caught in a rapid, and filled with water. The precious pa pers floated out on the waters, and whose husband had deser- ted her in her extremity. rescued tn.
