II might be possible to provide n
plaster ceiling. while the plans now
call for one of wood. but it would be
out of the question to build concrete
root instead of one Of corrugated iron.
Caldwell was sorry that this had oc-
Cured, but he could see no help for
il. II the county insisted on the re.
quirements of the ordinance being lived
up 20 to the letter, the Territory could
not build the tax office, as the appro.
uiation would not be nearly sufficient.
He added that if the county would ac.
cOmmodate the Territory in this mat
ter it would be TO the interest of the
public in general.
Nannatta said that in this case he
thought that there could be no great
objection TO allowing the building TO
be erected as planned as the walls were
of Grcproof material, and as il was sur.
rounded on all sides by freproof build
ings.
The supervisors were in n quandnry
for a moment, ~ they quite plainly dis
liked establishing precedent by max.
ing exceptions 10 the rule at the very
beginning of the life Of tho ordinance.
Lyman came 10 the rescue, however,
with the clever suggestion that Van.

M the bids for tie building had been
,uilod for before the ordinance had
been published, and this course was

THE NoBLENEss OF WOMAN.

With all the talk heard of the new
woman" and the idea that prevails
among many that the old-fashioned
woman is undergoing a process of
elimination, taking with her the at.
tributes which have made woman.
hood so highly priced by man, it is
comforting to note illustrations OF
fidelity and self-sacrifice by wives
which, prove that, If woman is evolv.
ing for her sex new field of activity
in social, political and business ave.
nues, the heart that has ever charac-
terized her when her friendship and
devotion to man has been needed is
as true and as courageous as ever
it was.
Two notable examples of this have
occurred during the last few days,
when Mrs. Sulzer bravely shouldered
the responsibility for acts her hus-
band had been charged with, and
when Mrs. Diggs took the witness
stand in defense of her husband after
having listened to his confession of
infidelity. II was when the storm was
beating most fiercely about the head
Of Governor Sulzer that his wife
sought to protect him by declaring
that it was she, not him, who was re-
sponsible for some of the things with
which he was charged, and though
her action may not save him from i'm
pending disgrace, her spirit of self
If she told the truth, she exhibited
a degree of courage that is creditable
to her, and if her story was untrue,
the spirit of sacrifice was the more
noble.
When, after hearing her husband
relate the story of his relations with
another woman, woman whom he
had taken into his home during the
absence of his wife, story which
would have justified any wife in re-
pudiating her unfaithful spouse Mrs.
Diggs became witness for her hus-
band in an effort to free him from
the charge of violating the law
against white slavery.
Both these women forgot everything
except love for their husbands and de-
sire to aid them in their troubles To
do this they willingly risked the odium
which they knew would attach to such
acts, and without hesitancy they Of
fered themselves willing sacrifices on
the altar of affection. Whatever may
be said of the husbands who permitted
these acts of sacrifice, it can be said
for the women that they exhibited the
noblest traits of character with which
humanity has been endowed, and they
have convinced the most skeptical

1t is doubtful now if there is time
for top crop. 1t is the rarest thing
in the world for cotton blooms coming
after September Is to mature. Frost
will catch them nine times out of ten.
This being true, there are only twenty
three days left for the rains to come,
the cotton to take a new growth and
the squares to form and bloom. 1t is

MINISTER KNOWLES
PRAISES "JOE" FRAZER

Professor C. A. Short, OF Delaware
College, has received an interesting
letter praising the work of the late
Joseph Frazer, from Horace G. Know
les. United States minister to
Bolivia, who now lives at La Pazo
The letter is as follows:
Dear Professor Short:-In the
statement you we're kind enough to
send to me / note with so much inter-
est the mention of the Joe Frazer
Field. That is indeed a splendid gift
of a noble father and brother and a
most worthy memorial to one of the
best, most attractive and successful
young Americans that ever came to
South America. Il will be a long time
before Joe Frazer is forgotten in this
country. His big heart and fine char
acter enabled him to leave a lasting
monument here and the Potosi Rail
way, one of the most difficult rail-
ways to build and best constructed
in all South America, is another
monument that will long shed glory
on his name.
with every good wish to you and
dear old Delaware and hoping to
see you soon on the campus, / am
Very cordially yours,
Horace G. Knowles"
