The story of Martin Kalikak points its
own moral. Had the feeble-minded girl
been segregated and confined to an insti-
tuition, there would have been no child,
and no long train of misery following her.
To segregate her descendants to-day
would be far larger and more expensive
problem. Yet even that heroic measure
would be nothing in comparison with the
frightful cost that the State will be put to
in the future, by reason of the unending
multiplication of feeble-mindedness and
criminality which must follow.
The other moral is equally plain, and
DIR. Goddard does not hesitate to state it:
"The career of Martin Kallikak, Sr., is
a powerful sermon against sowing wild
oats. Martin Kallikak did what, unfor-
tunately, many a young man like him has
done before and since, and which, still
more unfortunately, society has too often
winked at, as being merely side-step in
accordance with natural instinct, bearing
no serious results. 1t is quite possible that
Martin Kallikak himself never gave any
serious thought to his act; or, if he did, it

cumstances looked very queer,-very
queer indeed, and that, although he
hadn't contemplated any extraordinary
expense, perhaps it might be better for
Edith to take few more lessons from
recognized masters of instruction.
1t was at about this period that Edith
became acutely conscious of his disap-
pointment. She longed to go home. But
if New York were suddenly emptied of all
the peoplewho' go home if only they could
swallow their pride, Times Square would
be thriving suburb and Central Park a
pleasant picnic ground out in the country,
near Poughkeepsie. Edith merely squared
her little jaw and vowed in her heart
never to revisit Winslow, Ohio, until
she could return conqueror. But, Of
course, she hadn't counted upon the
almost criminal indiscretion of her
great-uncle, who, at the advanced age of
siXty-seven, went to public dinner and
ate it.
To Winslow, Ohio, there penetrated the
startling, paralyzing rumor that he had
left everything to Edith.
ACROSS the big mahogany table, Miss
Emery looked steadily at the very
young lawyer who-precisely because he
was so very young and consequently in
eXpensive-had drawn the will Then she
glanced, puzzled at the massive and
matter-of-fact business man who was CO.
executor.
"Never mind the-the complications,
said Miss Emery at length. Lets hear
the whole of it,"
The lawyer picked up his cue at para
graph seven:
"And further give, devise, and bequeath
to each of the following corporate bodies the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars: The
Actors Fund of America, the Drama
League the Society of Younger Artists, the
Choral Union of the City of New York, the
Writer'S Association, and the Society of
Sculptors."
Here he paused and raised his eyes ex-
pectantly. Mr.. Kelsey, the business man,
checked laugh.
"Ain't it scream?" he inquired. "Old
Cyrus Emery leaving money to artsts?'
There's really not much use in reading
the rest of it, repeated young Mr.. Wig
ellsworth uncomfortably.
"Not to me it amt" said Mr.. Kelsey.
"But if Miss Edith thinks"
"Please read it all, she said gently.
Mr.. Wigglesworth turned the page to
paragraph eight:

What the Real Sin Is

CLOSE beside these terrible families live
the other families of the same name, the
legitimate descendants of Martin Kalli-
kak. They have married into the best
families in their State, the descendants of
colonial governors, signers of the Declara-
ton of Independence, soldiers, and even
founders of great university. Indeed, in
this family and its descendants we find
nothing but good representative citizen
ship. They are doctors, lawyers, judges,
educators, traders, landholders, in short,
respectable citizens, men and women in
every phase of social life. There have
been no feeble-minded among them; no
illegitimate children; no immoral women.
There has been no epilepsy, no criminals,
no keepers of houses of prostitution. Only
fifteen children have died in infancy"

But the history of girls who flock to the
city in the expectation of uplifting the
stage is distressing in its lack of novelty.
Miss Emery hadn't lived on Eighty-fourth
Street for more than a week before her
great-uncle was telling her that she
lacked initiative. He repeated the re-
mark on subsequent occasions. Event
ually he dismissed the Metropolitan Opera
Company with a single contemptuous
gesture, and decided that Edith had better
go and get reputation as platform
singer. Himself, he would see John Nc
Cormack's manager, and arrange for dates
and tours.
AS time went on, Uncle Cyrus, while
not actually confessing that he had been
misled by family pride, said that the cir

" Cyrus travelled out to Winslow,
w Ohio, for fortnight's visit to
the scenes of his childhood; and before
he had accomplished very much of it,
Edith's parents set her down at the freshly

this point forward her career was in the

achievement which the newspaper &C
claims was the writing of a poem b,
Miss Baker, which is exciting com
ment. The effort is of especial in
terest to Butte, as it deals with the
coming of Marcus Daily to Butte.
DAILY came to Butte about 40 years
ago. He had been employed in the
Comstock mine at Virginia City, and
his energy and resourcefulness at
tracted the attention of Walker Bro
theirs of Salt Lake City, merchant
princes and mining men. They had
acquired extensive interests in the
then new Silver mining camp of Sill
YER Bow, called Butte" after the
Dig butte near the little placer min
Ing camp of Silver Bow creek.
When Copper Was Unknown.
DAILY worked the silver properties
for few years and made his en-
ployers money. The camp was very
small, and nothing was known Of tho
Dig copper deposits which were after
"ard to make the place world fam
GUS.
The Anaconda group of claims was
called to Days attention by a miner
named Hickey, who had located
them. He wanted Daily to take an
option on the claims and develop
them. In Virginia City DAILY had
made the acquaintance of Senator
Hearst, the famous mining man and
flnancier of San Francisco. Hearst
mad DAILY send him some of the Ana
conda ore. 1t was shipped from San
francisco, around the Horn to Swan
sea, Wales, where treatment dis
closed it's possibilities. Hearst inter
ested the Rothschilds. and this. 40
years ago, was the start made on the
copper deposits, the development of
which is history, written large on

While Montana has elected q
woman to congress, to the state SUI.
perintendency of schools. picked
two women to sit in the halls OF
legislation, and elected woman SUI
perintendent of schools in every
county in the state, Kansas is doing
even better. She has elected the
first woman to serve as coroner, in
Which position she may arrest the
sheriff of her county, should the &C.
casion demand such action, and has
named the first woman to be chosen
as presidential elector. DR.. Wini-
fred Viers was elected coroner of Of
tawa county, and Mrs. R. c. Layman
OF Hutchinson was chosen a presi-
dental elector.
1t is probable Mrs. Layman will be
chosen to act as the messenger of the
Kansas electors to deliver the votes
of the ten democrats to the preside Mt
OF the senate and the speaker of the
house in Washington in February.
While Ottawa county is not popu-
lous, and ordinarily Dr.. Viers would
have little work to do, the office is
a potential office. In the event
the sheriff dies or is removed or be-
comes incapacitated, the coroner as
sumes the duty of the sheriff with
out appointment. It is the only Of
flee, except that of governor, where
the succession is fixed. Dr. Viers
may be coroner the full term and she
may be sheriff also.
100 Hold Office in State.
The women made further inroads
into the offices of the state in the
last election. There will be 1856
women assume their duties as elected
officials when the terms change in
January, May and October. The
county superintendent change terms
at the close of the school year, and
the county treasurers change at the
close of the tax year, October 81. All
other county officers begin their du-
ties January 8.
Fifteen years ago there was not a
woman holding an elective office in
Kansas. Ten years ago they began
"breaking into politics." and since
then have gained new offices at the
rate of twenty-five to thirty at every
election. Women were eligible to
hold office for many years previous
to the granting of full suffrage.
Granting suffrage has not materially
increased the number of women seek
