Let MS grant that it is the eternal
sympathy of women that makes their

can accomplish.
Away down in New Mexico-far re-
moved from the grind and turmoil OF
the metropolitan centers Of the east,
is little city known as Las Vegas.
"The Meadows" it means, but it is
as poetical one way as another.
Las Vegas does not appear in print
as frequently as Chicago, nor is it
likely that it is as widely known as
other western towns. But it is city
of human sympathy-of that undy-
ing endeavor of the gentler sex in
behalf of the worlds needy.
We have looked at the throbbing
highways of the cities, and we have
found tear-stained faces upturned for
even the smallest grain of fellow
sympathy We have watched the pal
lid faces of imprisoned bOys-the
youth of the street swept up in the
vigilant purging of the ity by the
police. We have seen the children n
Packingtown look toward the frown
ing chimneys of the stock yards, and
we have found always the same thing
the unceasing despair OF the race
and the unremittent, uplifting influ
ence of women.
That is the spirit that has pervadet
Las Vegas, and on their weary jour
ney between the land OF sunshine ant
sunset, the travellers pause, and wher
they again take up their journey, i
is with lighter hearts, new hope, new
faith in the children OF men.
But some never take up their jour
ney as they began 1t. Some rest al
ways beneath the green sod OF La
Vegas. but before their earthly jour
ney was finished, they turned thei
tired eyes toward the kind faces Q
