 Helen Jerome. special correspondent of the Age. Melbourne, one of the lar gest dailies of Australia. accompanied by her three-year-old daughter Carmen, recently reached New York on a mis- sion that will take her practically around the world before it is complet- ed. says the New York American. Her itinerary includes visit to the interior of Russia to learn the true conditions among the czar's subjects. She also plans a personal interview with the pope.
 The people of Australia and espe- cially the women. who now enjoy equal suffrage with the men, are greatly in terested in the American women," she says. Many conflicting stories are written about the American women some of them are grotesQue caricatures and so my paper sent me here to study them and tell of their life and advancement. political and otherwise.
 "I have written back that the Amer ican women are intellectually and physically the finest women of the world and slightly in advance of their sisters In Australia, who are easily in advance of the women of the remain ing nations of the world. am de lighted with the results of my visit and have slowly travelled across the continent in order to study the women of different sections"

THE DIGNITY OF o,RoURKE.

1t was one of a hundred instances.
When the civil war came to an end at
last lieutenantS and captains who de-
sired to take up arms as a profession
were willing to take positions as SER
geants in the standing army. That was
how Captain O'Rourke, late of the
Seventy-first volunteers, came to be
orderly sergeant of company F,
Eleventh United States infantry.
As captain of volunteers, O'Rourke
was noted for two things in particular.
He was d fighter, and he was a. man of
dignity. It was said of him that he
had more dignity than his brigadier
general. He had so much of it that he
was guyed and ridiculed, but when
men got through guying his dignity
they had to admit that he was a fight
err If there was a loss of prestige in a
captain dropping back to the position
of sergeant, O'Rourke did not seem to
feel it. At least, there was no abate-
ment of his dignity. Within week of
his joining his regiment he was nick
named Dignity" and the appellation
stuck to him to the day of his death.
The nine other orderly SergeantS in the
Eleventh were bit familiar with their
lieutenants and captains, and now and
then they condescended to take drink
| or sit in a game of poker with the pri-
Yates, but Sergeant O'Rourke never let
himself down. He was always the
same to every one, and it came to be
whispered about that if he should ever
SiilIle OF tIdCk d JOKE the Oulteu States
would at once proceed to dissolve in
thin air.
One day at Fort Reno word was re-
eeived that the Indians had again
taken to the warpath, and that there
was likelihood of a wandering Dand
trying to cut off a train of wagons
coming up with quartermaster sup
plies. There was one point of danger
Once safely passed that and the long
string=ef wagons would be safe. Ser
geant D Rourke was sitting in his
quarters studying the book of tactics
when the coloneIs orderly gave him a
message. Three minutes later he stood
before his commanding officer, and he
had twice the dignity of the man who
looked up at him and said:
Sergeant, L have got word that Crazy
Horse has broken loose again"
Yes, SIR replied the subordinate, as
he gave the military salute with the
greatest precision.
