The Turk and His Wives.

Even in Turkey women are
beginning to assert themselves.
In that queer, restless corner of
the Orient, woman, who has
always been a mere chattel, has
stood up, taken off her veil, and
demanded to be considered as a
human being. Ten thousand
Turkish women are joined to-
gether in a protest against poly
gamy.
These women know whereof
they speak and just why they
are protesting. The leader of
the movement, real, live
princess, was herself in her
early youth the thirty-ffth part
of the wife of a distinguished
prince. After a few unhappy
years in the harem, she escaped
to Berlin, and became a trained
nurse. Then she went back to
Turkey, and has been an
aggressive, active undesirable, :"
citizeness ever since.
What is most interesting is
that the Turkish men themselves
are jo ming in the revolt against
plural marriages. Is it possible
that triple and quadruple and
centuple blessedness is not so
blessed after all? King Solomon
was certainly q man who mar
ried not wisely but too much,
and who ended his career by
writing despondent poetry.
Have the Turks, too, come to the
conclusion that though marriage
is good, one may have too much
of it;

condition of the First National

trade and business institutions in
the city may be said to be the

in the history of the city have
it's banks been so prosperous, and
it is with pride we make the
statement as the banks mirror
the prosperity of the community.

My Lady Darrell

Sisseton has a great deal OF
dramatic talent was evidenced
by the play my Lady Darrell"
which was put on at the opera
house IN Sisseton Tuesday even
ing by local talent. fhe play
was drama in which there were
a good many string scenes and
the audience was we'll pleased by
the manner by which the various
members acted their parts. Few
people realize the amount of
work necessary to stage a play
of this character and as a rule
they promise more satisfaction
than they give, but such was not
the case with this play. The
various members of the company
took their parts like real actor
folks.
Space forbids an extended
mention of each character, but
we feel that there We're some
who We're worthy of special
mention. Mrs. Wilcox in the
character Of "Mv Lady Darrell, :"
won applause both by her acting
and makeup. Mrs. W. C. Hol-
land in the role of the adven-
turess won applause, while Mrs.
A. B. Matthews had an excep-
tionally hard part as Mother
Cripps" but her acting, it was
remarked was equal to profess
sional. Minnie Matthews as the
elder Lady Darrell" did we'll as
did also Mary Hanson who took
a dual part. Dolph DeArmot
took the character of the heavy
william like one to the manor
born. Capt. Whipple as the
lover did very we'll with the ex-
ception that some people though
he didn't throw enough ginger
into his love and showed a lack
of experience in this particular
part. Bert Wilcox got several
encores, the other male mem
bers of the club, Robert E.
Johnson, Fred Kelly, John
Curtis and Max Gruver took
their several parts with credit.
We must not forget to mention
the fact that the music was fur
nished by the Sisseton band.
The net proceeds of the play
after all expenses were paid,
amounted to over forty dollars,
and were donated to the local
camp of Modern Woodman to be
used in purchasing a carpet for
the new hall.

Somehow the ounce produces

Divorce a Patent Medicine,

In a recent address on the family be-
fore the sociological department of the
Women S literary union in. Portland Prof.
r. ]. Sprague of the University of Maine
said: Families will be more coopera-
tive in the future, as communities are "
Referring to the divorce evil he said it
is called an evil from the pulpits and by
the newspapers, ''But it is not an evil, "
he continued. cit is kind of patent
medicine to cure the ills of the family.
Escape from too prevalent divorce will
come by making pure type of the fami-
ly. The family will be spiritual union
and not one from an economic necessity"
Prof. Sprague said among other things
that woman is inclined to become a
household pet. 'Man builds an elegant
house and puts her in it. She is no long
er his partner in his worldly affairs.
Their lives are different. Man must
grind out his two thousand, his three
thousand, his five thousand or ten thou
sand a year, while his wife has to devote
her time to personal adornment and the
clubs. You can easily tell mans in
come by the clothes his wife wears; but
you cannot tell his income by the way he
dresses himself"
