EVIDENCE OF WOMAN'S INDEPENDENCE
ATTITUDE OF LAW TOWARD WIVES

4 7 o more significant evidence Of womans increasing independence is
N afforded than the changed attitude with which the law regards Ter
Vi status after marriage. To realize the radical reform that a eel
A Y effected in this regard during the last fifty years we have only to re-
call the marriage protest Of Lucy Stone, the famous advocate of equal
suffrage. Upon her marriage in 1855 to Henry b. Blackwell, both she and
her husband signed a protest against "such Oft the present laws of marriage
as refuse to recognize the wife as an independent, rational being, while they
confer upon the husband an injurious and unnatural superiority, investing
him with legal powers which n o honorable la would exercise, and which
IL 10 mn should possess" Among the laws protested against were those CIV
ing the husband the exclusive control and guardianship of the children; the
sole ownership of the wifes personal estate and the use Of her real estate,
unless previously placed in the hands of trustees; the absolute right to the
product of the wifes industry, and. finally. protest wal made against the
marriage, so that she neither has a legal part in the choice of her residence
Tor car she make a will, or u or be sued in Ter W name, no inherit
property" Then the newly married couple cited this a their creed:
1--WE believe that personal independence and equal human rights can never
be forfeited except for crime; that marriage should be an equal and perma-
nent partnership and so recognized; that married partners should provide
against the radical injustice of present laws by every mean in their power"
1t is gratifying to observe how, during the las half century, the various
unfair determinations which were the objects of Lucy Stones marriage pro-
test have been removed from the statute books and laws substituted which
embody the longlookedfor justice. Different States have special laws, but
throughout the country the principle holds good that a married woman,
without the consent of her husband, may receive, hold and manage property
In SELL OF bequeath it, as she sees fit n most States toe she IA make
contracts in her W m and incur labiites-Housekeepe.

with OK teams, the future soldier be-
ing chosen az the commander of the
expedition, which was formed in Oma-
ha. There were sixteen men and one
boy In the company, and they had six
OK teams. AS they were about to
cross the Platte river they fell in with
a war party of Pawnee Indians, who
had just been defeated by the Sioux.
They demanded tribute to permit the
white men to continue.
There were about 300 Of them, but
Drake decided to fight Drake killed
the chief Of the Indians with a blow
from his own dubbed gun, and the 9th
ers fled, leaving nine dead The In
dams had but one gun, apparently a
fowling piece, but most of brakes par
ty We're wounded by arrows.
Drake came back by sea, and at once
made another trip with a drove of cat
tie, which he disposed of to advantage.
He started back on the steamship
Yankee Blade for Panama. The vessel
was wrecked On the Mexican coast
while racing with the mail steamer
Sonora. Eight hundred of her passen-
gers were drowned. Drake escaped,
with others. by Selling a rowboat from
piratical sailors, who came to plumber
the wreck.
The survivors lived for five days on
the beach on a portion Of a steer, which
they ate raw, and were then taken off
by a passing steamer.
At the outbreak of the civil war
Gen. Drake, who was then conducting
a country store at KNOXVILLE, Ia, went
to the front as a private and was mus
tered out as a b~igadier general in 1865,
after having been seriously wounded at
the battle of Marks Mills, Ark. One
of his brothers, William Henry Harri-
son Drake, an officer of the Second
Iowa Regiment, was killed at Fort
Donelson.
Gen. Drake then turned his attention
to railroad building in his adopted
State, and soon built more than 400
miles, the roads now forming parts of
great railroad systems. He founded
Drake University in 1880, and with
russell sage, whose close TREND he
was, helped rebuild Iowa College at
Grinnell when it was destroyed by a
cyclone in the following year. In many
other philanthropic and charitable en-
terprises he took a leading part. From
1896 to 1898 he was Governor of Iowa,
having been elected on the Republican
ticket. The estate he leaves is valued
at $4,0O0,O00. He leaves four daugh-
ters and two sons.

Pieces of old napkins should be

Window wedges are worth much and

Women on FISHING smacks.

Questions having been raised on the
subject of the decision Of the French
maritime authorities to allow women
to act as sailors in the channel fishing
smacks. the French minister of marine
has addressed a circular to all the port
officials, in which he says: 81 have to
inform you that this question must be
replied to in the affirmative. There is
no legal Introduction preventing wom-
en- being upon the roll of a ships
equipage. 1t follows, therefore, that
they cannot be excluded from the ex-
ercise of navigation. Women cannot
navigate as captains, but according to
the French law they cannot be pre-
vented from embarking as members
of the crew."

A D
Anecdote illustrating Admiral Phil
fps Kindness of Eeare.

The late Admiral John W. Philip
was exceedingly kind to his men, as
one would expect a man of his sincere
Christian character to be. The New
York Sun says that when the Texas
was lying in Hampton Roads jusc be-
fore the war with Spain, there was a
squadron order against 'shore leave.'
This order bore heavily on one of the
machinists, who lived at Phoebus. His
house, where his wife and children
were, was visible from the ship, just
behind Old Point Comfort.
One morning Admiral Philips, then
captain, saw the man looking wistfully
over the rail. Philip knew hat the
man lived in Phoebus. 1t was the GUS
tom among the ships Of the squadron
then to send a boat ashore every after
noon at one o'clock with the mail or
DERBY and the stewards to purchase
supplies. The captain stepped up to
the machinist and said:
Il want you to go ashore for me
this afternoon in the one o'clock boat"
The man turned as the captain spoke
to him and saluted.
AYE, aye, sir" he replied.
Captain Philip went on looking about
the ship, and the incident passed out
of his mind. At one O'Clock he was
came down from the watch on deck
and said:
"Machinist West has reported at the
gangway, sir, and says he has instruc-
tons from you to go ashore on duty,
but doesn't know what the duty is"
"Send Machinist West down here
ordered the captain.
A moment later the machinist stood
in the doorway Of the cabin with his
cap in his hand. The captain looked
up at him, and sang out in the gruff
tone known in the service as the pa
rade rasp:"
West, do you know where the vii
lage Of Phoebus isl"
Eyes, sir" replied the %astonished
machinist.
"'Weu, l want you to ashore in this
boat and go over to Phoebus, and l
want you to stay there until tomorrow
morning at eight o'clock, and keep a
sharp lookout to see if you make out
the general recall IN the Texas"
AYE, aye, sir" And ashore the
machinist went, and had a night at
his home and got back to the ship by
the first boat in the morning, and dur
ing the fight that followed served all
the better because of his captains kind
ness.

BIRD LIVES ON WARM DIET.
P%apabote That Eats the Spanish Fly
Is a Table De1icacy.

q. One would scarcely suppose that a
bird that fattened itself on an insect
which will blister your flesh almost as
quickly as the burning head Of a par
lor match would be much of a table
luxury, but there is such a bird. 1t is
called the papabote, and 1t belongs to
the plover family. 1t is about the
size of the woodcock, with a sober
gray plumage and a short, hard bill
The coming of the Spanish fly upon
the foliage in the localities it frequents
is sudden and mysterious. No one
knows whence it comes or whittier it
goes. 1t disappears as mysteriously as
it ONE 1t Is a most destructive in
sect, coming in countless myriads, and
eats ravenously of growing things. But
the papabote comes with it, stays until
the fly disappears, and consumes mil
lions of the pest. The bird grows so
fat on this corrosive insect hat they
become literally balls covered with
feathers. When they fall before the
gun of the hunter they burst open like
Overripe fruit.
The papabote is the shyest of birds,
and can be approached within gunshot
in only IL way, for unlike all known
game birds, 1t will not crouch to the
dog. 1t is heavy of wing, keen of
sight and hearing, and rises long be-
fore the hunter is in range, resembling
in this respect your common meadow
lark. 1t can be shot in no really
sportsmanlike way, and only by using
a horse and wagon. The bird will
permit a horse TO walk quite close to
it, and the hunters take advantage of
this and in open buggies and spring
wagons ride about among the feed
ing grounds, and drop the birds as
they rise ON every side in easy range.

ever since 1t was founded, and the lack
was a source of considerable regret to
a number of its citizens. In good time
the omnipresent philanthropist arose
in their midst and said hat he would
build a church and present it to the
town. This man was the founder, John
H Williams. He had a good deal
of trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot of shingles was
so bad that it could not be used, and
the builder decided to send t. Europe
considerable wealth and had arranged
to spent at least $4,000 ON the struc-
ture. He was destined not to see the
fulfllment of his plans. He died while
the decorators were at work ON the
Interior Of the building. His pet dog,
an animal Of which he was extremely
fond, died at about the same time.
Williams did not leave any directions
regarding the furtherance of his plans,
@ state what disposition should be
made Of the remains, so the widow
took the reins In her own hands. Work
Qua the church was stopped and the
doors were closed.
This church." she said, shall never
be used as a place Of worship. 1t shall
stand just as it is-a monument to
my dead husband
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him, for his love for the animal
amounted to a passion. The dog had
been his constant companion in life,
and in death they were not to be d.
vided. There is no sexton or keeper in
charge of the church, and it has con-
sequently a neglected, forlorn appear
ance, although it has been standing
only since 1897. The Interior was once
used as a receptacle for hay, and dust
hangs from the beams, and the steps
are overgrown with weeds.
