age group, rs to "a years, the percen-.
tages are IT'S and ass, respectfully;
in the age group IS to A they are
S3.7 and Is, and among persons As
and over the percentage married is
higher among the males. That there
is larger proportion OF widows than
widowers may indicate that men more
often remarry than women, but since
husbands generally are older than
their wives, the marriage relation
shin is broken more often by death OF
the husband than by death of the
wife.
For the main elements OF the popu-
lation the percentages OF married per-
sons among those Is years OF age and
over are as follows: Foreign~born
whites, 60.4 for males and 71.e for fe-
males; native whites Of native paren-
tage, 446 and 50.4, respectively; ma
tive whites of foreign or mixed par"
entage, 37.2 and AZ; negroes, 44:2
and $50; and Indians &c. and 81:
These percentages by no means in
dictate the relative tendency of the
several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that, the comparison
should be made by age periods, since
the proportion married in any class
is determined largely by the propor-
ton who have reached the marrying
age. Similarly, the proportion Wild
owed depends largely on the proper
ton past middle life. The percentage
married, for both sexes, is higher in
the rural than in the urban commun-

WOMEN BRING IN VERDICT
Epscial to The Pioneer.

Spokane, Wash, March 24.-lt re-
auired the twelve women composing
the first exclusively feminine jury in
Spokane county court only thirty
minutes to reach verdict in the case
entrusted to them. The women sat for
two days in the case of R. r. Law
renee against w. B. Cowne, involv-
ing a transfer of real estate and per-
sonal property.
Lawrence alleged that he had not
received all the horses and equipment
specified in sale contract. The
women returned a verdict giving him
S1,175, the amount he asked. In his
instructions Judge II. l.. KEENAN, out
lined the duties of the jury, address
ing them as "Ladies Of the jury He
told them that if ten Of them could
agree upon a verdict the decision
would be final, as they were trying
a civil suit.
When the women brought in their
verdict they received the commenda-
ton and congratulations OF Judge
KEENAN,, who said the jury had dem
onstrated to be false the theory that
women could not agree on anything.

A good tonic for the girl who is
short on ambition and long on frivoli

women who have "arrived' after hard

reproach her for accepting the limita

into her mind a healthy bacillus of dis.

1t is best to read of the doings OF
such men and women who have reach

for these make the strongest appeal to
your will, and if you cannot read be-

for yourself you will at least feel the
unexpected challenge to perk up and
do likewise. if not a little better-Ex'

In the population of fifteen years
of age and over, 46.S per cent of the
males are single and thirty-five per
cent of the females. The percentage
married is 1873 for males and 56.2
for females, and the percentage
widowed 3.8 and s, respectively. The
percentages of those reported as d.
vorced, 0.4 and 0.5 respectively, are
believed to be too small, because OF
the probability that many divorced
persons class themselves as single or
widowed.
That the percentage single is so
much smaller for women than for
men is due partly to the excess OF
males in the total population and
partly to the fact that women marry
Younger. Thus, 43 per cent OF the
