that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacajawea, when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became a slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her we'll, how.
ever, and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to a French fur-trader, Char.
boneau. who made her his wife, prom.
Using that he would, in time, take her
to her W people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
its motley band, came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which is now the southern part of the
Dakotas. The expedition needed a
guide, and Charboneau learning OF
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have a chance to find
her own people. She offered her serv-
ices TO the pioneers, which were ac-
cepted; Charboneau was hired as
cook.
During the winter, while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to a boy baby; yet, not to be de-
TERED in her hope of again being
united to her people, and with her
baby on her back, she led the party
over the rugged mountains to the head
waters of the Columbia.
Before reaching the end Of the jour
ney the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word TO guide the men to the Pacific
Ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
in THE Conquest" All through the
book is full of little incidents of the
bravery of the woman guide, how she
saved the band from humiliation at
the hands of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, the leader of whom was her
brother. Mrs. Dye brings out into the
light the story of Lewis and Clark
themselves, in which they give SAGA
jawea the credit for having saved their
lives and having made possible the
success of their expedition.
And SO this country now gives recog'
milton to her services through the
agency of woman. A statue has been
erected to a woman through the aid
of woman; Miss Alice Cooper, of Den
yer, was the designer; Mrs. Dye and
her woman friends procured the funds
for the monument and a woman con
tributed the necessary metal.

dozen youngsters of both sexes from

Miss Garrett wishes to broaden the

into a sort of national normal school
for the instruction of teachers in the
art of ~lip-reading, With this object in
view, she is seeking an appropriation
of $4,000 from Congress, and her

Knox in the project.

Paris Sfafne Of ErankIfn.

The two hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin on the
18th of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as we'll
The memory of Franklin, as first min.
lister of the United States to France, is
much reyered in the capital of that
country, and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in a foreign cline
should be unveiled in Paris.
AS early as May % last Mr.. John H.
Harjes, at present the resident mem,
Der in Paris of the firm of Morgan, Har.
ias & Co. formulated an offer to Paris
officials of a bronze statue of Franklin.
While it was originally intended that
the gift to Paris Of the statue should
