Congo Region Displaying Offering Dog
With Spearheads

Of her purchaser, the long. painful
years of subsection and hopeless toll to
which she is doomed. with soul. mind
and body abased you may feel more
sympathy with the missionaries who
would do what they can to spread
among these people little OF the light
that the partial emancipation OF wOm-
an has shed on happier races OF man
kind.
The acquisition Of wives by capture
or force, and by gift, which is also
still practiced in some parts of the
world, is hardly so humiliating as this
method of sale When she is deliber-
ately sold the woman has no chance
whatever. But when she becomes the
quarry in a chase she has, at least, the
bare prospect of temporary escape, like
a hunted deer. and even the chance of
choice if there are several pursuers,
as sometimes happens.
No doubt there are thrilling TO
mances hidden behind some Of these
wife hunts. and the heart OF the hunt
ed is not always despoiled. Even in the
case Of a sale it is imaginable that a
preferred lover might be able TO out
bid a detested rival.
Looking upon these things, how
splendid, by contrast appears the
American idea of marriage. when the
power Of the parents is reduced to the
influence of education, counsel and
guidance. where the notice OF bargain
and sale is disdained. where the choice
of the woman is as secretly regarded
as that OF the man. and where the alb
solute equality of the sexes is recog-
nized II it is not yet in every respect
enforced

MAKES GOOD RECOVERY

Show Strength-Denial to Peace
Rumors a Factor.
Rails Act Better Than for Several
Weeks and Give Courage to
the Situation.

NEW YORK, November 24.-For a
few moments this morning the New
York stock market acted a bit uncer-
tain. and then bore away to good gem
eral recovery and higher prices for
nearly everything on the list.
There was distinct quietus to peace
talk, in further assurances that it would
be unwelcome from allied sources, and
further denialS in most positive form
of the reported ending of allied demands
for material and metal from this coun-
try. The positive manner i'll which both
rumors were set aside and quieted was
satisfactory to public traders, and they
started buying in manner that showed
their confidence in the reports.
Then, too, some of the professional
shorts undertook to cover their contracts
and take profits. helping still further the
recovery of the markets tone and
strength.

Another sustaining influence was the
recovery of the old standard rails for
better than a point, the continued
weakness in the rails being an effective
brake to enlarged operations of CON
servative traders.
Reading and Union Pacific recovered
better than a point, while fractional
gains marked the early movement in
other rails.
