Why We Are Not polygamous.

Judge Mary II. Cooper of Beloit,
Kan, is the only woman probate judge
in the United States. She performs more
marriages than any Kansas minister.
This is because she always omits the
word "obey" from the ceremony-an
omission that pleases the Kansas girls.
Judge Cooper believes in the capable
and strong woman-she thinks that the
day of the clinging, helpless woman is
past. She said in a recent interview:
In the strong and independent wom-
ans hands, in the fighting woman's
hands, our sex's future rests. There is
more than a little truth in an episode
that Chinese missionary once related
to me.
This missionary was taking tea with
mandarin's eight wives-she was, of
course, female missionary. The
Chinese ladies examined her clothing, her
hair, her teeth and so on, but her feet
especially amazed them.
Why one cried, you can walk and
run as well as a man!
Yes, to be sure said the mission
Can you ride horse, and swim,

A colored man from Georgia had lived
in Washington but a few years when he
was arrested for some slight violation of
the city ordinances. Upon hearing that
the negro was in Jail, the secretary OF
the colored Y. NJ. G. A. secured the sery-
ices of a minister to go with him and
sign the prisoners bail bond They
reached the Jail shortly before noon. and
told the negro the object of their visit.
In response to the preferred kindness he
said:
''AIistah Johnsing, sho is glad you-all
is gwine tab git me out, but / wants you
all to fix it 80 | can't git out tell late
dis ebenin'"
OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unusual
request. But a moment later they lost
their breath when, in answer to the sec
cretary's question, the Georgia negro re-
piled in a whisper:
well, sab, dey's a-gittin' dinnah
ready, an dey's cookin greens; an sho
would like to cit some o. dem greens be-

world the Confederate genius of the
quarterback and master of international
law, Raphael Semmes, better known as
Admiral Semmes or tho Confederate
Navy. This man. whose name is writ
ten high in the history Of the Confed-
eracy. was an inspired fighter and a
shrewd and persuasive lawyer.
All Of the Southern societies OF the
National Capital combined las night
in doing honor to this man on tho CEN
tennial Of his natal day. The ceiebra-
ton was held i'm Confederate Memorial
Home. under the auspices of the United
Daughters OF the C-Onfederacy.

them. Lieut. Arthur Sinclair, was with
Semmes when he fought his last battle
on the Alabama, when that gallant ship

Of the industries of the country and

Durand, and he now has "A corps Of

Prof. Carol w. Doten, one OF those
college professors who have been I'D
vising the director as to the scope Of
inquiries which would be most i'm
portant in the census, declared that
statistics regarding manufactures are
the most difficult to procure and place
in disable form. In many Of the past
enumerations, he said, the directors
have failed entirely to secure an ade-
quate conception of the scope Of the liz
dustrial investigation which should lie
made.
In the coming census an effort will
be made TO investigate along the lines
of the past census so there may be easy
comparison of the growth and advance
ment, and yet an effort will also be
made to simplify the work so that the
inquiry will not break down of its own
weight as II did in 1880.
