she left to begin her struggle with
poverty again, preferring that to
prison life.
Mother Ann Lee, who founded the
Shaker sect, was a remarkable wo-
man, says the New York Press. Like
most founders of religions the sub
liminal was on top in her. and she
saw visions and dreamed dreams.
Powers were claimed for her which
correspond to what are known as
clairvoyance and healing by sugges-
ton nowadays. She had a career
which shows her to have been
strong character, and probably had
her followers lived the ordinary fam
lily life the sect would have been a
flourfshing church to-day, replenished
in each generation with ths children
Of the members.
Mother Ann had some very ad-
vanced ideas for her day. For in
stance, she believed in the absolute
equality Of man and woman, and
Shakerdom has always been conduct
ed on that basis. But democratic
government was not known in her
day, and she made the rule Of her
communities despotic, through an
elder and eldress at the head Of each
family, appointing their own success
sors, and with no check on their au-
thority.
Eldress Anna now holds the reins
with a hand of iron in the North fam
ily She is Of the type Of the born
priest Her face is that Of the ascetic

One Scandal In Community.
There was one scandal at Mount
Lebanon once, Just once, but it is
still whispered with bated breath.
One brotLsr, now in his SOS. entered
the community at 13, bringing $4,000

Women as
Newspaper
Writers.


(Katherine e. Thomas is one Of the
best known women writer's for newspa-
pers at Washington. Her book on of
fetal Etiquette at the Nations Capital"
Is regarded as a standard. She has also
written a novel on Washington society
entitled Not All the Kings Horses.'1
Woman's place on the newspapers
to-day is due to the law of demand
and supply. She has not crowded
man out. It is distinctively a posi-
ton into which she has neither forced
her way nor sought in ever so limited
a degree to oust man from that do
main in which since the invention of
the art OF printing he had held exclu-
sive right.
With the evolution Of successive
stages Of progress the necessity Of
woman's work on the press became SO
apparent that the cry went forth
throughout the land. And it was be-
cause of that cry that this great field
Of woman's cleverness and industry
was opened up.
With trembling feet the pioneer
woman writer's crossed the threshold
of the newspaper offices. 1t is with
assured tread she makes her way
to-day. In the comparatively short
space Of time in which woman has
been an acknowledged factor on the
staff of the daily press she has ac-
complished much. Before her there
yet stretches vast worlds to CON
quer But that she will conquer, that
in the future she will achieve success
in this occupation is long since a
foregone conclusion.
Not the least powerful factor wom-
an brings to her work as a newspa-
per writer is that birthright, intuition.
When added to this her keenly obsery-
ant powers become trained along the
necessary lines and her natural ten
acity Of purpose has the strong slim
illus Of competition with men, it will
be realized that success is and must
continue to be her portion.
AS in all else Of the countrys
work, thero is a great deal OF human
nature in the newspaper world, and
when woman enters into such active
shoulder-to-shoulder rivalry with men
as has now Of necessity developed in
all the active press matters of the
day, she must understand from the
start that she can expect no quar-
ter To be upon the stan 0f an up

passes into her hands7 For no new
members are entering the Shaker
commounity to remain permanently.
The community IS slowly but surely
dying out.
Survivors VIII Be Women.
The last survivors will undoubtedly
be women. The great majority Of the
members are now women, about 65
out Of the 80. The younger members
are all women. These younger women
are mostly in the ffties. although the
remarkably youthful appearance OF
all Shaker women makes them look
in many cases at least is years
younger. The great majority OF all
the members are aged women, ran
ging from the seventies well along
toward the nineties.
Eldress Harriet Bullard. who is at
the head Of all the Shakers IN the
United States, Is well over so. SO is
Eldress Anna White, the head Of the
North family. the most distinguished
family IN Shakerdom. These old wo-
men are marvels Of activity and
achievement for their age, like all
Shaker women Yet they can hardly

that they have within recent years
adopted more liberal policy. In for
mer years the world was never per-
mitted to enter their gates except for
strictly necessary business. Two
years ago they took the unprecedent-
ed step Of calling a peace convention,
which attracted many distinguished
speakers and visitors. They serve
dinners through the pleasant weather

Lenox and stockbridge find these an
agreeable goal. Last summer, for

Conservatism Triumphed.
This policy seemed good at first
During the summer Of the peace con-
vention seven new members entered
the North family BY winter all we're
gone. The history OF two Of them is
an example Of the rest. Both were
men In the prime OF life; one an
American who had been the financial
editor Of big daily paper, the other
London merchant. Both belonged
to that ANAL but persistent percent
age Of the population to whom COM
munistic life is attractive. Otherwise
there was nothing to take them to
the place. for no Shaker receives any
personal emolument All goes into
the common treasury.
These two men saw possibilities In
the place. They advanced various
plans for making It more profitable.
They entered with enthusiasm into
the idea Of undermining the whole
organization bringing It in touch with
the preesnt day world. getting In
fresh blood and building up a strong,
growing organization once more.

were not wanted, their new ideas

away. and by winter the rest Of the
seven had followed them.
One Woman's Experience.

dreamer and an ideallst. She had
had hard and poverty-stricken life
for a few years, and she was penni-

Puzzle Of the Marine Barracks.

Among the interested visitors at the
marine barracks at Washington on
one occasion there was a party Of
young girls from a Maryland town.
They proved very much Interested in
everything pertaining to the life and
discipline Of the post. What do you
mean by 'taps?'" asked one young
woman. TAPS are played every night
on the bugle." answered the officer.
1T means Tights out. They play It
over the bodies Of dead soldiers. A.
puzzled look came to the face Of the
quesiioner. Then she asked: What
do you do If you haven't dead sol.
