 As a girl of eighteen, Mrs. Henry F. Ashurst, wife of Senator Ashurst of Arizona. came to this country from Kilkenny.

Easterner always associates with the women from the far West. And in her synipathies she is wholly West ern. She decline to state IL in so many woids, but it is easy to see that the largeness. freedom and dem ocraey of Western life appeal to her as the more conventional standards of the East never could.
 During six years q her residence iz the far West and before her mar riage to Senator Ashurst, Mrs. Ash urst will with brilliant success a po- sition that required all strcng mans physical courage. She was sent by the government from Washington to establish a weather bureau station at Flagstaff sh was left in sole charge of the station to do mans part in the nationwide work.
 Every morning at o'clock any Flagstaif citizen contemplating enough to be abroad at that hour could see a woman climbing to the dizzy summit of the great pole at the weather sta ton.

Ing was another item. During winter evenings the little building which clung to the windswept hillside 1000 feet above sea level, and in which Mrs. Ashurst worked, would be warm and bright with a glGw of pine-knot lire. And around the open hearth would gather fer the evenings talk men an d women, many of whom a strange destiny had brought to the West from the corners e the globe.
