The Society of the Native Daughters
expect to work in the interests of the
state park at Osawatomie, Kan. This
park is owned by the s.ate, and con-
tains a monument to John Brown. 1t
also has on the grounds the cabin
that was John Browns home. A part
of the building has fallen down and
lies on the ground, while one room
still stands and is used by the care
taker of the park. 1t is the wish of
the society to have the building re
stored, and have drives and walks
placed in the park. The interest in
| the place is shown by the fact that
1900 people registered visitors to
the last twelve months One of the
objects of the. society is to keep be-
fore the younger women of Kansas the
work of state building done by the
passing generation of pioneers
