Gifted Women of History.
The 20 pre- eminently gifted
women of history" are in their
order, according to Miss Castle:
Mary Stuart, Jeanne dArc,
Victoria Of England, Elizabeth
Of England, George Sand, Madame
Destael. Catharine II of Russia.
Maria Theresa, Marie Antoinette,
Anne Of England, Madame De-
Sevigne. Mary I of England,
George Eliot, Christina of Sweden,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
Madame DeMaintenon, Josephine,
Catharine DeMedici, Cleopatra
and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
This is based upon the amount
Of space accorded to these wom-
en- in biography. 1t is easy, OF
course, to see that a vast variety
of considerations may have af-
fected this standard Of measure
ment. and probably, upon a close
study of actual merit, the beauti-
ful Queen Mary of Scots would
lose the rank that Miss Castles
method gives her as the most
eminent woman in history" with
no close competitor
More valuable is the evidence
which one may find, in reading
between the lines, that women.
without regard to their mental
ability, have not had an even
chance with men in the race for
historic eminence. Everybody
knows that that is so without
resorting to statistics. This has
been emphatically a mans world,
hitherto. He has had the upper
hand from the beginning, and he
keeps it still, and some of the
representative Of his sex would
evidently like to keep it forever!
Increase Each Generation.
But thai the balance is going
to be more fairly adjusted in the
future is plainly indicated by the
striking fact, brought out in Miss
Castles study, that the ratio of
eminent women per ten million of
population has been steadily in
Creasing since the fifteenth CEN
fury. The sixteenth century
gained 1876 per cent over the fif-
teenth; the seventeenth gained
27.3 per cent over the sixteenth;
the eighteenth gained 64.5 per cent
over the seventeenth, and, while
the statistics for the nineteenth
are not yet completely available.
it is probable that its gain over
the eighteenth will be equally re-
markable
Woman's turn is coming, and
when she has established her
rights she may give nobler
meaning to "eminence."

MORA SUTTON CASTLE, of
Columbia University, has
just made public the re-
suits of a remarkable study Of
Eminent Women" We have
heard a great deal about eminent
men since Mr.. Carnegie gave the
world his impressions of the he
roes of masculine biography, and
1t is a good time to hear some
thing about the women.
Miss Castle gives a scientific
turn to her investigation, and her
expressed purpose is to throw
light upon the question contained
in one Of her opening paragraphs,
which runs as follows:
1T is a sad commentary on the
sex that from the dawn of history
to the present day less than 1000
women have accomplished any
thing that history has recorded as
worth while. One can not evade
the question: Is woman innately
80 inferior TO man, or has the
attitude of civilization been to
close the avenues Of eminence
against herr"
The method by which the in
vestigation has been conducted is
that previously employed by
Francis Cation and Professor
CattelI with regard to eminent
men. Briefly. It is to study the
biographical dictionaries and en-
cyclopedias and note the number
Of times that certain names occur.
and the amount Of space devoted
to them.

for its prolongation from a com

1000 guineas instead of the 1O,-

cordingly paid for the copyright.
Three thousand guineas seems a
large sum to give up for an artistic
scruple, but she did it.

BILL NYE'S HUMoR.
1t is Not Sufficiently Appreciated These
Days, Says Writer.

IL Is Not SuthcIently Appreciated These
Days, Says Writer.
There are too few of this genera
ton who appreciate the humor of
Bill Nye. The fame of Mark Twain
outrivaled his. The two we're entire
ly apart in their methods. Nye con-
vulses you in the twinkling of an
eye. Mark Twain draws your sense
of humor with the delibeSation of
one preparing you for the treat.
Nye was closer to the west than
Twain, and he was later. Twain
went west with the gold seekers.
Nye followed the railroads. Twain
followed the newspaper business
with uneven success in Virginia
City, New, and became discouraged
with his own possibilities as a writer.
It was one of his early bulletins
of humor that lost Nye his place on
one Laramie (Wyo.) paper and in
duced his friends to launch the
Boomerang. Some of these same
friends helped defeat his ambitions
as a lawyer. They thought Nye's
accession to the prosecuting attor-
neyship would make joke of the Of
fee. 1t is as likely that the respon-
sibilities of the Office and the pros
pect of a legal career would have
turned Nye's talents into serious
channels. But, fortunately or IN
fortunately, Nye's propensity for
humor burgeoned early in his west
ern career.
When he was a justice of the
peace in Laramie his Office was over
a livery stable. At the foot of the
stairway Nye nailed this placard:
"Twist the tail of the gray mule
and take the elevator"
If his humor was spontaneous,
his sense of injustice was just as
keen. Philosophy there was in his
work. Humor is, in fact, largely
philosophy.
''Men will fight" wrote Nye, Gun
til it is educated out of them. Most
wars are arranged by people who
stay at home and sell groceries to
the widows and orphans and old
maids at 100 per cent advance. p

He Wasn't Impressed.

Sir Wemyss Reid wrote as follows
of one of his early experiences as a
reporter: "On the first occasion of
witnessing an execution, as | stood
trembling at the foot of the scat
fold on which the victim was about
to appear, l noticed an old reporter
for whom | entertained a great per-
sonal respect pacing up and down
beside me reading the New Tesla
ment. In the passion of horror and
pity that filled my young heart 1
concluded that my friend was seek
ing spiritual comfort in view of the
event in which we were. about to
take part as spectators and record
ers. ! said something to him about
the horror of the act we were short
ly to witness. He looked up with
placid smile from his reading and
said gently, for he was essentially
gentleman, Yes, very sad. very sad,
but let US be thankful it isn't rain
ing And then he calmly return
ed to his daily reading of the word"

An Editors Monument

One of the most remarkable
gravestones on record was placed
IN the cemetery at Jefferson,
Ohio, the other day.
1t stands at the head of the
head of the grave of j. A. How

tabula Sentinel, who died here
recently. 1t consists of a make
up" stone used by Howells for
so years. during his successive
evolutions as printers devil,
printer and editor.
On it is inscribed a verse writ
ten by William Dean Howells. a
brother of the dead man. The
verse reads:
Stone upon which hands of boy

Days of Long Drive Revived

The old days of the long drive
when herds were kept on the
trails from Dodge City and Kan
sas City and fattened during the
long dusty months it required to
land the cattle at their destina-
ton, are being repeated today in
Mexico.
All modern methods in the
way of railway transportation,
which had done away with the
chuck" wagon, the remudas
and a small army of cowpunch-
ers is thing of the past in Mex
leo cattle circles. The buyers of
cattle today in Mexico are con-
fined, for the most part. to those
who drove herds to Dodge City.
or went with them, and MeXi-
can cattle are being brought to
Texas soil. The chuck wagon
with its canvas top and warped
bows is following the long drives
that have to be made from the
interior points of the cattle coun-
try in Mexico and the cattle suf-
fer no i'll effects from the drive.
AS far as the drive is concern
ed, this is of small consequence
to the cattle buyer. 1t is the
South American revolutionary
feature of Mexico that is the cat
tie buyers source of worry.
Those in power one day give the
cattle buyer a permit which en-
titles him to get his cattle out of
Mexico. Those in power the
next day hold the cattle up. An
other permit must be obtained.
Added to this is always the dan
ger that the herd may be taken
away from the owner bodily by
the bandits. Getting a herd out
of Mexico today is not an easy
matter. 1t is a job for a real
cowpuncher and not a moving
picture cowboy. 1t is a job for
a man who can eat frijoles three
times a day or to be able to do
without them altogether.
There is money in Mexican
cattle declare American cattle
men. Conditions, coupled with
the inability of stock owners to
get their cattle to market, the
raids they are subjected to by
bandits, depredations by cattle
rustlers and seizure by those in
power, has made the cattle in |
Mexico of uncertain market val
lie. The only sales in the cattle
line that are beng made by them
today are those who know how
to pull off the Dodge City" but
stunt. Herds of cattle have sold
for small prices once on this
side the cattle sell for a hand
some profit. compared to the
invested. But cattlemen
dealing in Mexico cattle will tell
you that the price of cattle is on
he increase. Ell Paso Herald.

than the far famed Canyon Dia
bio. Its walls are nothing but
sheer rock for many miles.
Plotted by Assistant Surveyor
Lamport, Engineer Cobb made &
careful examination of the pro-
posed site of the bridge to be
built across Canyon Padre. The
site is far from a satisfactory
one, but is the best to be had.
A bridge 14O feet in length is re-
quired. Bids for the structure
were received at the engineers
office few days ago but
the contract has not been let. 1t
will probably cost between $1,000
and $4,000, and be of reinforced

Half an hour or so was spent
in examining and photographing
that strange freak of nature
known to the world as Meteor
mountain, and to the people who
live in that country as Coon
mountain. Winslow reached
in the late afternoon.
No really bad road was found
between WinsIow and Holbrook
or between Holbrook and st.

did. The principal trouble is
the sand. Milky wash and Bea-
yer Dam wash, on the Holbrook-
st. Johns road, are bad. Plans
are being made to throw a bridge
across the main channel of the
Beaver Dam and to improve the
Milky crossing. At present au-
tomobiles cross the channel of
Beaver Dam wash on a "stilts
bridge" The bridge is nothing
but two troughs of pine lumber,
set up on piling. 1t is dangerous
in wet weather and even in the
dryest time great care and skill
is necessary for a successful
crossing. A similar bridge is
between Concho and St. Johns.
Four miles out of Winslow, in
Navajo county, is Jacks canyon,
which is shortly to be bridged.
The cost will not be great and
the benefit to the road will be
tremendous.
The Chevalon creek bridge,
twelve miles out of Winslow, is
beauty. 1t was built under the
administration of Engineer Cobb
and throughout the north is
