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 well, how
ever, and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to a French fur-trader, Char
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
ising that he would, in time, take her
to her own 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.
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to a boy baby; yet, not to be de-
Iterred 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 annihilation 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 woman con-
tributed the necessary metal.

dozen youngsters of both sexes from

Deaf Children in Speech, an institu-

Miss Garrett wishes to broaden the
scope of the institution by turning it
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 100000 from Congress, and her
visit to Washington with a half dozen
of her pupils was to interest Senator
Knox in the project.

Courteous, yet dignified, these repre-

assemblage with their speech and
manners.

STATUE OF SACAJAWEA.
Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot.
ed Lewis and CIark-ResuIt of ,fl
Moman'S Work.


Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, Of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote a book on a very old
subject, but she treated it in another
way. This book, ''The Conquest" was
the history Of the Lewis and Clark ex.
pedition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
a most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
expedition by one woman.
A number of women of Portland,
Ore, banded together under the name
Of the Womans Club, felt in duty
bound to honor the memory of that
one woman, Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president of Sacajawea
Statue Association. With woman's wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro-
cured the association found itself in
a Quandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, through the generosity of her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat
ter gift was by no means inconsider-
able, for 1t means nearly ten tons of
pure copper, not to speak of the eX-
penses for smelling and shipping the
ore across the continent. -.
And after all it was but fitting that
this statue should be erected, for had it
not been for Sacajawea, the Lewis and
Clark expedition would never have
lived to bring under the American flag

come from the citizens of Philadelphia,
this plan made little progress aad it
was soon abandoned, so that the statue
is the bounty of this firm.
The statue is replica of the one
now standing in front of the Philadel-
phia post-offce, the only difference be-
ing in the size Of the pedestal support
ing the figure. Although there was
but short time in which to construct
the bronze figure, there was no delay
in casting and forwarding the figure to
Paris in time for the dedication On the
anniversary.
The original Franklin statue in
Philadelphia was gift to the city by
Justus c. Strawbridge, at a cost OF
$40 1000.
