national legislators resolved TO FORM
a social organization so that they
could get to know one another and
to know something about the en-
vironment of women in every part of this
great country. they only utilized material
which had long been wasted. Now. since
the Congressional Club has proven it's
mission worthy and successful one. it
is the ordinary and not the extraordinary
occurrence to hear women from the
frozen zone comparing notes with the
woman who lives in the land of constant
summer, to hear the woman who has
done pioneer work on the frontier telling
her experiences to the woman whose life
has been spent in the luxury of an east
ern home. The Congressional Club rep
resents If some degree the possibilities
among women. 1t gives them a sort of
forum where they express their ideas and
get ideas for the improvement and en-
largement of home conditions. for all
truly progressive women see the posi-
bility for Improvement even in what to
the casual observer appears faultless.
When the Congressional Club was Sc
lecting it's first officers the honor of rep
resenting the northwest was bestowed on
Mrs. Joseph NJ. Dixon, who had Joined
the ranks almost at the inception of the
organization. and who had showed most

Never did Bordentown have to regret

To this day stories are told of the glories
of Bonaparte House and Bonaparte Park.
Scarcely q month passed but some great
man came to visit the exiled king. From
across the ocean came Clausel, Lafayette,
Desmonettes. Grouchy,. Lallemand and
the Louis Napoleon who afterward be-
came Napoleon III. From Washington or
New York or Boston or Philadelphia
came Andrew jackson, Henry Clay,
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Daniel
Webster, Stephen Girard. Winfield Scott
and q multitude of others. Across the
threshold of Bonaparte House there pass
ed more princes, more soldiers, more
statesmen, more men Of letters perhaps
than Of any other private house in Amer
lea.
1t was a strange mixture of simplicity
and state in which the people of Bona
parte Park lived. In the belvedere. near
the lake, day and night a sentinel was
posted to report the approach of visitors
on the Trenton road. In the great hall.
attended by his chamberlain and the vari-
Gus members of his suite, the king al
ways received his callers. whether they
were Of high or low degree. But the Prin-
cess Zenaide and the Princess Charlotte
and all the others of the household went
shopping in Bordentown like all the rest
of the town or country folk. and now and
then the king accompanied them. The
garden and the farm, however. took up

to show a particular mark of esteem to a
call for the portfolios. These contained
beautiful set of engravings representing
the various achievements of Napoleon.
AS the king displayed each engraving he
would explain in detail all it signified.
Rarely was he more animated than when
thus engaged. At times he would have
difficulty in controlling the emotion the
engravings would arouse. Then he would
take his visitor upstairs to his private
library. NJ. Thibaud usually went ahead
with the key. Immediately after the king
and the visitor entered the room the door
would be locked. Here is an account of
what the library disclosed as told by one
of the visitors:
after / had walked around the room
and examined the books and few paint
ings and many rich vases that had be-
longed to Napoleon the count touched a
secret spring and several rows Of skill
fully painted bookcases flew back and
displayed a set Of drawers. These he
opened and drew out a number Of caskets
containing splendid jewels, some jeweled
handles of swords and some portions of
crowns. He showed me the crown he
wore when King Of Spain, and also the
rope and jewels in which he was crown
ed. He touched another concealed spring
and gave me view Of many of Napo-
Icons papers. Some of the papers he
opened and read to me, then returned to
their places with care which almost
amounted to veneration. At length all
the papers were returned and the count

for them more of the love of the people
than all their gifts of money. A poor
working woman had given birth to
child and the purchase of a christening
robe for the little one meant the sacrifice
OF much-needed money. When the prin-
cess heard of it she went to the woman
with the lace christening robes of her
own frstbcrn, and no child i'm Borden
town had more splendid christening
than that Of the poor working woman.
The Princess Charlotte presided over
the household of the king. Louis Maillaird
was the chamberlin and Adolph Mail
laird his assistant. William Thibaud
acted as the kings secretary. At state
dinners there was small army of at
tendants. There are stories that the king
held his little court to a rigorous OBJ
servance of regal etiquette and that he
roundly lectured any member of his
household for any breach of form, but to
Commodore Stewart, Joseph Hopkinson
and such of his men friends as he had
affection for there was no show of for
mality. He loved the songs OF Thomas
Moore. Some years before Moore had
and never did the Hopkinsons visit the
king that he did not request Mrs. Hop
kinson to sing for him THE Last Rose
Of Summer" And never did she sing that
sweetest song of the poet that it did not

spare some hours from his correspond

lived an ideal life. He was a naturalist
and she was an artist. He roamed the
woods for hours each day to study birds
and she worked in her studio until she
tired, and then she helped him in the
preparation of his Natural History of
the Birds of the United States" or spent
some time in the rose garden. Those
roses of Bonaparte Park were famous
the country round. All the walks were
lined with roses All the houses were
studded with rose bushes. But roses and
painting and pathological work did not
take up all the time of the princess. She
was fond Of Schiller and to the transla-
ton of his works she gave good deal
of attention. She and the prince were
lavish with money.

proper begins with the explorations of
the Frenchman Verenrye, in 1745, who.
with his brother and two Canadians and
a war party of Sioux, assembled the Mis-
souri, river to the gateway Of the noun
ta1ns. They remained about a year in
Montana and Wyoming, and they claim to
have erected a monument and to have
buried beneath it leaden plate bearing
the arms of France and the date of
their discovery. This has never been
discovered. and is still an object of search
on the part of local historians.
For fifty years the treasure land re-
manned as isolated to the world with
out as it was before Verenrye pene-
trated into the wilderness. 1t passed
from France to Spain together with
the other domain embraced in the term
Louisiana. In 1900 the country again
passed into the possession of the
French and in 1903 what is now the
greater area of Montana was embraced
in the purchase for which the United
States paid $15.00O.O00 For a long time
a part of the state west of the Rockies
was taken in the territory of Oregon
and remained so when Oregon was or
ganized in 1S4S. In 1868, when the
new territory Of Idaho was formed, it
included Montana. AS separate terri
tory afterward embodied in the state,
except the 1000 square miles added in the
southeast, we claim cognate existence

Mrs. Dixon attended the graded

was one magnificent statue, too, OF Pau

curtains, canopy and furniture Of these
summer rooms were of light blue satin,
trimmed with silver.

furniture was decorated in crimson and

Few were the persons who had the priv

sympathetic and intelligent interest. This
winter Mrs. Dixon. through illness in her
family, has been unable to give as much
time to the club as her inclinations would
prompt. Her interest, however, is just
as keen, and so is her desire to promote
the spirit OF comradeship among the
Women OF the country, who, living In far
distant regions. yet meet on the common
ground of serving patriotic ends al the
American capital.
''Travelin. is such fad with Amer.
icans," said Mrs Dixon. that / meet
many people who have been to Montana.
The Rocky mountains are the lodestone,
and they seldom fail to meet all precon-
ceived ideals of magnificent scenery. My
home is in MissOula, and this little city
is also my birthplace, and this l consider
a rather unique distinction. The ma
jority OF women whose husbands are in
public life. especially those Of the west.
are born in other states. Indeed, a glance
into the biographies Of men in congress
sional life will show that q greater pro-
portion are born outside of their present
political environment than those born In
it. Among the women in congressional
life this Is equally true A number OF
men go outside their state for helpmeets,
just as many as go outside their own
country for husbands, and for wives. But
Montana claims every sort of allegiance
from me, because my father was one OF
the pioneers. He loved it fervently and
had exalted confidence in its destiny In
the history Of commemorative, and also
because 1t is my native land and because
it is one Of the grandest portions OF this
grand nation.
Nothing seems to convey better idea
of how great Montana is In actual area
than to say that in its mountainous region
alone Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Ohio or Virginia might be placed-that Is,
one Of these states could be dropped
and rest there snugly and without undue
crowding. Then in the grazing area we
could put the Empire state, or Pennsyl-
vania, or Mississippi, or Louisiana, and
then for farm lands we can show space
for either Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois
or Iowa. We breathe the air of big
things from this vast sweep of land and
mountain. The work done to wrest this
country from the wilderness is an achieve
ment of which any people might be
proud The engineering. the patient toll OF
the woodmen before the engineers came.
the heroic labor OF men and women both
spiritually and for the material develop
ment, make the history of Montana a
story OF courage seldom equaled In the
there nothing but the splendid missionary
labors of Father De Smet, who came to
the F1atheads and whose efforts to Chris
tianize the Indians from 1910 to 1860 are
practically the history Of the state, 1t
would be an ANIMAL OF unusual human In
terest. When the name of Custer Is add
ed and his heroic stand against the Sioux,
whose aggressive conduct rendered life In
the new country precarious, then begins
the thrilling record which stands as an
immortal epoch in the story Of the state.

Senator and Mrs. Dixon are among the
homelovers and homekeepers in Wash
ington. They reside in pleasant house
on 10th street, in the direction of tho
open country which leads to the great
Geological Park and the national reser-
walton at Rock creek. They have five lit
tic daughters With her social duties
added to the care which she gives her
home and family Mrs. Dixon has little
leisure for clubs or what might be called
extra duties. During the past season her
small flock suffered all the ailments
which come during some winters in such
overwhelming yisitations to juveniles. The
little girls, who are called Virginia. Flor
ence, Dorothy, Mary and Josephine. or
''Jo'' in the home tongue, are among the
popular youngsters in the senatorial set.
They attend school nearby and are lead
ing happy, natural lives in what is con-
sidered rather an artificial atmosphere
for children.
MY little daughters naturally take up
a large portion of my thought" said
Mrs. Dixon, land when I am asked If
believe In suffrage for women I answer
that / have six excellent reasons for do
ing so-one for myself and one for each
Of my girls. But believe in giving suf
frage only to women If they want It,
Women have done SO much toward the
development of the northwest that few
men think of opposing their aspirations
il they earnestly desire suffrage and
think they would be happier or more
useful in exercising it, In my home in
Missoula we have all kinds Of women's
clubs, and their influence is always up
lifting and they always accomplish
things of which the community stands
most in need. This is an impressive
object lesson and compels belief In the
usefulness of women along the higher
lines Women who carve out their own
fortunes and are a factor in the sue
cess and development OF their home en-
a voice in local affairs. Even the most
rabid opponent of wOman's rights is
granting her voice in school questions.
In matters of sanitation and In all meas
ures which mean practical cleanliness of

Another subject in which nearly all
states are debtors of women is along

the interest of women and by their devo-
ton in gathering minor details which
the busy trained writer and man Of af-

the specialist who is searching for ma
logical and economic development of the
northwest. We arc one of the Youngest
