tomboy and was afraid of nothing.
She dominated the school and her
martial spirit even conquered the

woods and the caves in that vicinity.

disposition, but her physical consti-
tuition was excellent and enabled her
quickly to recover from the effects of
her most exciting raids. Carrie, from
her earliest youth, was fond of motor
iety and this characteristic, together
with the inherited mental instability
and her leaning toward zealotism ex-
plain in large measure her later
career.

father, who had lost the greater part
of his fortune by speculation, moved
with his family to Missouri. But lit

they should go to church on Sunday.
She did not hesitate in dragging un-
willing guests to church by main
strength and after she had subdued
several bullies and obstreperous cow
boys by her fearlessness and courage,
she became greatly feared. After her
husband had been run out of town
after having been mixed up in fac
tional political fight, Mrs. Nation con-
Quoted the hotel alone, until her
daughter married. Then she turned
over the place to her son-in-law, and
