Women True to Themselves.

Mr. John NJ. Coulter, head of the
department of botany of the Chicago
University who with his wife and
children was on the Inflated Repub-
lie, says that the heroic conduct of the
women was something that can never
be forgotten. When the order came
to put on life preservers the women
put them on as coolly as if they were
shirt waists. There was no fainting,
no panic and they even joked among
themselves to conceal any fear they
adjusted the unusual preservers. They
conducted themselves, he says, in a
manner to make one forever proud Of
American womanhood. 1t gave one
an understanding of the nobility Of
woman's nature, he declared, that
does not present itself often in an
ordinary lifetime.
