The Wires and Children They Lett Behind

majority OF these women are English
or Scotch or Irish, only recently come
to the country some French. Of
course. and even one German! Never
have come across a braver set Of
women. The quiet courage Of her who
has sent her protector to fight our bat
ties shows no sign that the words of
the old French song must lie deep IN
her woman's heart: "Those who make
the battles should be the only ones to
fight" Tomorrow is 10 her even more
uncertain than to us, and yet she is
quietly discussing her future, with her
bread winner hurrying on to the stress
Of battle.
Although we naturally gain our IN
formation in the gentlest manner pos
sible, eyes filled with tears and voices
suddenly choked sometimes speak OF
nerves strained with the sorrow of re-
cent partings.
The shy voice of our first client be-
trays the lingering accents Of Devon,
and a few words Of admiration for her
beautiful native hills Immediately es-
tablish a little friendship between us.
Two years in Canada, striving TO
make both ends meet, and the care OF
a sickly baby, have not left her much
time TO make friends, and now that her
husband is gone she feels very lonely
and very strange. She doesn't want
to give up the little home that they
have made-the rent is only $lZ
month-for her husband expects to ma
her there when he comes home again
She has an extra bedroom, however
and she would be glad to rent 1t to an

Are Apportond with Military Precision

week for the fund an auction was held
of articles contributed.
A diamond ring, with a note that a
young English girl had no money to
subscribe, but was anxious to give a
diamond ring her dead father had left
her.
The excitement in the bidding was
tremendous, and the ring brought some
thousands.
A week or SO ago | noticed in the
papers that Toronto gentleman Of
fered another thousand II the ring was
restored TO its original "too enthusias-
tic owner" which was done.
A brindle pup brought excited bids
not only from the men, but from the
women in the gallery.

shouted one of the diners after the dog
had been knocked down at $500 or s4OO.
"A hundred to name the pup" yelled
his neighbor. A 1925 won the desired
honor. and the bewldered puppy was
thereupon christened Victory"
The auction, with its generous bid
ders, added considerably to the fund.
"Now. Mr.. Storekeeper, don't be
putting your thumb on the scales. You
can make that rice weigh half pound
more by doing that"
The storekeeper looks foolish and
protests that he is honest, but the
small housewife who accuses him
doesn't take any stock in his assevera-
tions.
"Im up to their tricks" she says TO

I must confess, however, that all the

even at this crisis women are found
black hearted enough to try to swlndie
the country out of the money gathered

bills for her, but gave her no money.

her home by one of the committee, and

oFRsONA1ITY BEHIND SUFFRAGES LARGEST BENEFACTOR

are not always wont to travel. She
often spoke about Mrs. Cats work
and grew to believe in its meaning for
women. Just ss changes in the
economic conditions of women brought
her to believe that only through suf-
frage could they win their rights. She
felt it very unfair that women should
be taxed when they had no voice in the
levying of taxes, and was wont TO
speak OF this matter with emphasis.
A few weeks before she died she
complained of the work and WEAKNESS
attendant upon settling the income tax
on her property. 1t was then that she
made her new will and probably
greatly increased the amount she in
tended for suffrage, since she left out
of it bequests included in former wills.
She remarked to some one: "My will
will surprise good many people
That she had for some time intended
to further the cause Of votes for
women had been plain from her re-
marks, for she had worked for women's
interests and given to the suffrage
movement. She also had been wont TO
write personal letters 10 the suffrage
organizations instead of allowing such
letters to be written by a secretary.
That she did not take very active
part in the work is due to several rea-
sons-her age, her dislike to sit on
platforms in conspicuous positions, and
the fact that in 1900 she had a slight
stroke of spoplexy, the paralysis from
which was explained to her as "ner-
vous prostratlon."
Made q Mark in journalism.
Mrs. Leslie was a woman who made
mark upon journalism for men as
we'll as women; who set a pace in the
field of weekly illustrated papers
which "Harper's Weekly" and then
Golfers" took up; who set an exam
pie of selfsacrifice in the payment of
another's debts, and who is known as
never having turned her back upon a
woman nor failed 10 aid any woman
who needed her help. She never spoke
of this except to say to the writer
some months ago:
AS look back upon my life it is
satisfaction to know that | have never
laid a straw in any woman's way. And
am grateful for the opportunities
that are open to women to-day. The
field OF endeavor for women is practi-
cally unlimited"
The greatest coup in the life of this
woman notable in the annals of Jour
nalism occurred after the death of her
husband. when his business was left
involved. She said that steady. good

foreman was in charge, devoted to the

opposed to her interfering IN the man

he considered her a pretty, helpless
young widow, and her intention to work
was looked upon by him as interfer-
ence How she won him over she tells
briefly:
81 came into the management Of Mr..
Leslie's business two days before Presi-
dent Garfield was shot.
Worked Three Days Through.
"To add to my troubles, Monday was
the Fourth of July. and it was a very

New-York tribune., 1914-10-11
Didn't Conhde Beliefs.

In reply TO the comment that Mrs.
Leslie did not take any active part IN
suffrage, her own methods OF working
need to be looked into. She was not
wont to confide her plans, nor was she
wont to argue a question with one not
in sympathy with the subject under
discussion. She heard what others had
to saw. and then acted according to her
own judgment, giving 40 mixing oil
what her own feelings were in the mat
ter. unless some question OF princlple
were involved, when she always made
Il very gentle but very positive state
ment. which none could controvert.
MANY recall that Mrs. Leslie was not
actively interested in suffrage until re-
cent wears, although she had contrib
uted TO the cause for about fourteen
wears and Joined more than one SUI
frage organization, among them the
New York State Woman Suffrage AS
sociation. Her apparently paradoxicai
attitude some fourteen years ago is
hest explained by her own confidence
% the writer after she had attended

She was interested at that time IN the
women, not the cause.
"But" and she laughed, 81 went TO
the convention. couldn't join sides
with the anti-organization."
Her early affiliations with suffrage
were not because of conscious interest
in the cause. For some years she be-
lieved neither in its wisdom nor ITS
ultimate success. But she once re-
marked. zone must float with the tide

This is a remark to be expected from

was. to the day Of her death. an editor
quick TO grasp the value of situa-

Her feeling that suffrage was needed
by women received some impetus from
association with Miss Susan h. An
thony. whom she admised as a leader
of q forlorn cause, and from Mrs. Gait,
New-York tribune., 1914-10-11

On the occasion Of Mrs. Pankhurst's

Leslie's comment to the writer:
81 cannot see why our women make
SO much of Mrs. Pankhurst. She is, of
course, a very persuasive speaker, but
can't they see that all she has come for
is to get money from our women to use

 Not until the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission was established in 1909, did the disease attract widespread at tention, and little was known of it's prevalence, even among the medteaf profession The medical colleges had not taught the significance of the dis ease. and 1t was little dreamed that thorough, systematic inyestiga lions would reveal such a tremendous infec- tion with such appalling results as have been shown by the Commission in the past three years.
 It is interesting and gratifying to note the increased amount Of work done each year in Arkansas. The rela= lively great increase for 1913 was due to the passage of the Public Health Bill by the last General Assembly granting each county the privilege to aid by making appropriations for pub lie health work, and the increased co operation on the part of the people in eradicating the diseases.
