ONLY WOMAN JA|LER
Veritable Amazon Has Unique
Position in Rhone Valley.
Record of Madame Jenny Porchet
During Husbands illness for
Three Years, Makes Her
Choice for Place.

I Berlin.-Woman's rights, indeed!
What more could the most ardent suf-
fragette desire than to control the lib
critics of scores of more men. That
is the privilege of Nine Jenny Por-
Chef, aged 51-the only official woman
jailer in the world.
/ Her prison lies in the pretty town
of Aigle, with population Of 1000,
in the valley of Rhone. 1t forms part
of an imposing range of castellated
buildings, the most conspicuous in
that region.
Thirty years age Nine. Porchet
married the chief warder of the Aigle
prison. When her husband became
seriously i'll she acted in his place
without the local authorities being
aware of the fact. Then after three
years illness, Perchet died and the
place of chief warder becoming va
cant applications were filed. Several
men applied for the post, which is
fairly well paid and many of them had
excellent credentials. Nine Porchet,
however, presented herself before the
ing the three years illness of her
husband she had carried on his du-
tiess 30 as not to lose the place, had
introduced several minor reforms
which had strengthened discipline,
and at the same time made the pris-
oners more contented. She concluded
that she could carry on the same work
without fear or favor If the commits
sion would support her.
Il know it is an unsual request to
make, for woman to rule male pris-
oners and keep them in order, but l
am not frightened of man or half
a dozen of them"
This statement brought smiles and
mods. Of approval from the members
of the commission, for Nine. Porchet
Is a veritable Amazon nearly six feet
in height, powerfully built, and in the
prime of health. Her face shows a
character as strong as her frame,
with powerful square jaws, a large
mouth and piercing but kindly eyes.
Gentlemen" she continued, you
may still think that if | were attacked
by prisoner l would be helpless.
Will you kindly ask the heaviest gen
darme on the premises to step here
so that / can demonstrate to you what
/ could and would do with a man who
dared to attack me-"
The president asked Nine Porchet
to retire and after the commission
had considered the matter for a quar-
ter of an hour she was informed that
it was unanimously agreed to give
her years trial and If she gave sat
isfaction the post would be a perma-
nent one.
There was touch of the feminine
in the result, for this strong woman
had tears in her eyes when she heard
the verdict.
Gentlemen, thank YOU" she said,
"and / am sure that / will give you
every satisfaction. | did not want to
appeal to your sympathies as | have
seven children to bring up and the
loss of the position would have meant
much to them and me-"

SAVING HER
 RECORD

Ii tnlre Is anything Mrs. Jenkinson brides herself on it is being on time. ln lact, her supcrhuman punctuality becomes as intClerable at times as th2 moral coura SC of the person who takes cold plunges in the morning and boasts of the fact. Her satisfaction rises to its sublmest height when she can show off before some unfortunate mortsl who is invariably late
 Therefore she beamed condescend- ingly upon Mrs. Loffett and said: "Oh, cer-tainly, Il be able to meet you at the State street entrance of Long cloth at 12:3O. It will be perfectly easy!"
 Well, l didn't know" apoogized Mrs. Loffett. There are always so many things to do around the house mornings that it's hard"
 Not if you use the proper sys- tenn, interrupted Mrs. Jenkinson firmly
 The Jenkinsons had just taken small fiat after long siege of board ing and were not entirely adjusted. The worst trouble was that there were four bells which rang and Mrs Jen- kinson's ear had not had time to be trained to the difference between them When one rang she invariably answered all four, as always it was the last one she answered. This gave her plenty of exercise.
 The morning she was to meet Mrs. Loffett at 12:30 Mrs. Jenkinson was aroused from a late slumber by the ringing of a bell. She sprang up blinking and puzzled and then con- sciousness came.
 My packages from downtown!" she murmured The back door bell, of course"
 Slipping into a dressing gown, she rushed to the back door. There was nobody there. She opened the front door with the same results. Then she attacked the speaking tube leading to the front entrance downstairs. There was no response to her hellos.
 "Oh!" she said shortly few sec onds later, as she gazed from the front window where she had wandered and got a view of the postman sigzagging across the street below. Tt was his ring l might have known!"
 Mrs. Jenknson proceeded to turn the faucets in the bathtub and let it ill with water As she splashed a bell rang My goodness!" she moaned. IL rang again peremptorily, and finally some one pounded on the front door
 Well, you just pound!" she nut tered, hysterically. The ideal"
 A little later she opened the door and stared upon the vacant hall searching for a clue There was no clue.
 Who on earth could that have been?" she asked herself. "Mercy-it's after ten oclockl'
 As she was making coffee a bell rang and 1t sounded like the one downstairs When she had shrieked hello" into the tube till her throat hurt it rang again and some one pounded on the back door The icy and mfuriated individual who stood there snorted as he brushed by her.
