her little family remained, and MANY
a patriot found shelter under her hos
pitable roof.
In the summer of 1776 a party of
Indians descended from Canada, pill
Laying the abandoned farmhouses.
Their presence in the clearing next to
hers was discovered by Mrs. Story,
and, putting her children and valua-
bles into canoe, she padded through
Otter creek, which ran by her door, to
a nearby swamp. Lying hidden, she
saw the savages destroy her home
Undismayed, she built another small
house, utilizing the trunks of trees
small enough to be handled without a
team. This done, she and her sons
dug a place of secret refuge in the
bank of the creek. The entrance was
sufficiently large to admit a canoe.
In the cave the family slept every
night. The retreat was eventually
discovered by spy named Jenny. He
accosted Mrs. Story, trying to get in
formation as to the movements of GER
tain Wings. Being unsuccessful, he
threatened to shoot the woman, but
she babe him defiance.
AS soon as he left, Mrs Story notiA
fed her scattered neighbors that Tories
were around. A party Of Wings was
soon organized and upon the track
of Jenny's associates. Their camp at
Mendon, near Rutland, twenty-five
miles away, was surrounded that night
and fourteen Tory prisoners were cap
tured and taken to Fort Ticonderoga.
Mrs. Story was twice married after
the close of the war, dying at the age
of rs. She was buried at Middle

why Kelly Laughed.

Baseball cranks will all remember
with pleasure the late mike" Kelly,
the star attraction of the famous Bos-
tons, then champions of the National
League. The Bostons were playing in
a Western city, and had just returned
to their hotel after the game, and the
members of the team were separating
and going to their rooms while Kelly
headed for the bathroom to take his
regular rub down"
A few minutes later one of the 9TH
er players on the team, while passing
down the corridor, heard Kelly's well
known laugh inside the bathroom, and
stopped at the door and asked Kelly
what the joke was.
Kelly replied: "This is the first
time I ever got out of the bath tub
without stepping on the SOAP"

WOMEN JUDGES AND JURIES.

Proposition to Establish a Court
Before Women Judge and Jury.
The topic of widest discussion
among the legal profession in England
just now is the proposition to establish
criminal courts where cases against
women offenders may be heard before
a female judge and determined by fe-
male jurors says the Kansas City
Journal. 1t is a little odd that this
agitation should have arisen in coun-
try that does not recognize women
practitioners at the bar, but if law
is enacted permitting the sitting of
female judges the courts of England
will be at once thrown open to women
barristers and it is estimated that by
1912 there will be hundreds Of wom-
en- in the united kingdom wearing the
wig and gown.
The fundamental principle underly-
ing this latest phase of the rights of
women to be tried by judges of their
own sex is that the sins of erring
womanhood can best be understood
and appreciated in character and mo-
tive by women themselves In pass
ing judgment upon criminal cases a
court is not Influenced merely by the
class of crime charged, but the pun
ishment that is to be inflicted depends
to no small extent upon the tempera-
ment and nature of the prisoner and
the circumstances that led to a trans
gression of the law. Upon this hypoth-
esiS it is next to impossible for any
man, no matter how judicial Of mind
or sagacious, to understand or esti-
mate the mental machinery of a wom-
an or to deal justly with a woman
malefactor.
1t is cited that in regard to crimes
that owe their origin to affairs of the
heart some judges are unusually harsh
in melting out punishment, as they are
utterly ignorant of the subtle force
that underlies women's emotions. AL
though a man does not know these
things, q woman does, and she would
be able to deal with the culprit with
the clemency the offense deserves.
This is the case made out in favor of
IelndIe Judges.
Those who oppose the innovation,
and it must be said that this includes
a large majority of the English bar.
maintain that women are notoriously
intolerant of their own sex and that
they know neither justice nor mercy
A long list of citations might be made
to sustain this point, but it is pointed
out that even as a general proposition
one is always more lenient with the
errors and faults of members Of the
opposite sex than to ones own. 1t is
thus argued that women, whether
their emotional and temperamental ma
lures are understood by male judges
or not, are always given the benefit of
the doubt, and in most instances they
receive the minimum punishment sim
ply because they are women and not
men. If all malefactors, made and
female, were weighed in the same
scales it is asserted women would suf-
fer more severely before the law than
they have ever done; and this is prob
ably the truth of it.

Famous Old broadway.

One can buy everything on Broad
way. Everything! Hats, railroads,
shoes, ships, dresses, a title, neckties,
food, land, shoestrings, pictures, thea
ter tickets; new things and old things,
things one needs and things one doesn't
need, things one should have and
things one shouldn't have. Such a
jumbled street of finance and catch
penny contrivances; such a mixture
of good and evil, Of greatness and in
significance, of honesty and trickery,
of distinction and social ostracism as
it all is; and what a study!
The old and the new are side by
side. The living and the dead are in
constant proximity. Away down on
Broadway are old st. Paul's and Trim
ity with the dead sleeping in their re
spective churchyards, holy calm rest

1t has come to pass that higher edn-
cation, advancing with the rest OF civ
ilization, now offers special induce
ments to young men in the choice Of
methods of death. Formerly the stu
dent had to take what he could get or
what was given him, but to-day he
may make his selection between the
football eleven, the fraternity and the
prize ring. Each has special adyan-
tages to recommend it to the candi-
Gate and to the parents ambitious for
the future of their boys, and each
seems to be equally effective. Verify
variety is the. spice Of death as well
as of life
