|mcidentS in the LipeS Of WOrLd- Famous Women
How Judges Daughter Turned Her Wish to Be Boy Into
 Fiahtina for Momans Riahts.
By ELOIsE HARRINGTON

This last question impressed itself more fervently on her mind when there occurred the tragic death of her young brother. just graduated from l college. Her father mourned the loss of his only son very deeply, nor could the presence of five lovely daughters 1 comfort him. 'Oh, Elizabeth, I wish you were i only boy" he repeated again and ] again.
 And Elizabeth to whom nothing seemed impossible, declared:
 Then I will be a boy!"
 Her idea of the chief qualities of masculinity were a knowledge of Greek and of horsemanship, so she immediately proceeded to perfect herself in both. The pastor who lived nearby taught her Greek, and for months she studied with him con- stantly. She learned to leap a ditch on horseback as we'll as any boy. When the good pastor called at the house she urged him to tell her father how fast she was progressing with her Greek, hoping against hope that some day her father would glance at her approvingly and say:
 Well, we'll, a girl is as good as a boy, after all'
 But the happy day never arrived. For all her working and yearning, for all the praise her father gave her unstintingly, he never yielded her more than the sigh:
 "Ah, Elizabeth, you should have been boy!"
 But Elizabeth Cady outgrew her childish desire for that particular need of praise, though it stimulated her to action and she kept up her eager study of law and horse tanning. Her father would occasionally bring her a book of statutes and urge her to read it in order that she could engage in discussion over fine legal points with the various lights of the law who fre- quently visited his home. This thor ough knowledge of the law, founded in those early days, made Elizabeth Cady one of the most impressive and dominating figures in the whole his tory of the battle for women's rights in America.
 At the age of "A Elizabeth Cady married Henry B. Stanton, a brilliant anti-slavery orator, and subsequently, Mrs. Stanton herself gained consider able distinction as an orator. She called the first women's rights con- vention in July, 1848, and was the first woman to make a public demand for woman suffrage in an organized con- vention. She spoke on women's rights questions not only before gov- ernment bodies, and delivered ad- dresses before state Legislatures more often than any other woman of her time.

.IS SUFFRAGE A
 MEASURE OF WAR?

Alice Paul, head of the Woman's s Party, blandly announces that every vote the suffrag gists have gained in the United States Senate has cost them
 $5,000 and says they would have been if necessary. (Connecticut should be doubly proud of Senators Brandegee and McLeanD She calmly estimates that the cost of getting the Susan B. Anthony Force Bill ratified by the 4S
 State legsilatures-and this the suf- fragists will undertake immediately if they can force the bill through the Senate-wil1 be approximately $22,- 900 900. In the event of Germany's S winning, the ballot given to women will not be worth the paper it print ed on; and yet, enough money would
 have been expended in gaining same to send 500, 100000 rounds of ammu- nitions a year to our boys fighting for these same suffragists' lives and freedom lover there!' On the other hand the anti-suffrag save the Ma
 tion and taxpayers 300 times the amount of money they spend in fight ing suffrage, which saving amounts to between $25,OOo,OO0 and $3O,ooo,OOo a year. It is little wonder that the
 anti-suffrage movement is now said to be the greatst money-saving move ment in the country today. It is growing by leaps and bounds. Three
 new State associations plus a real victory in the United States Senate.
 That is the record, Oklohama, Louisiana and Alabama are the new States where anti-suffrage organiza- ttons have been started, making 28
 State Associations Opposed to Woman Suffrage in the United States. It is of deep significance that the two lat est anti-suffrage associations have been organized by men. It was the members of the Louisiana Legislature who started an anti-suffrage associa- tion in that State last week; since then the men of Alabama have organized giants suffrage under the name of the Alabama Male Association Op-
 posed to Woman Suffrage" Each member pledges to use his best efforts to uphold States Rights. All the anti suffragists in the United States are us-
 ing their best efforts in upholding States Rights, and the real rights of men, women and children and in do- ing so they are saving the Govern
 ment from feminism, socialism, bol-
 shevikism and from the useless expen-
 aiture of more than $25, 100000 a year

bounty. It mattered not whether she had helped to create some of that property, or whether her son was dissipated, unkind or a spendthrift likely to waste his inheritance in a few short months, to the son went the property and the widow was left helpless.
 Now Elizabeth had the childish mo- tion that laws emanated from books, so she began to cut the unjust laws out of the law books in her fathers library. Not until he explained care fully that her vengeance on books was fruitless and futile did she cease. But her rancor against the conditions which permitted such injustices to continue didn't abate.
 Why were laws made so unjust to women? Why didn't women have a voice in the making of laws? Why were women regarded as inferior?

ions. And, really, I've been perfectly amazed to discover that my figure is set off to much better advantage by plain ginghams than by any amount of transparent chiffons and silks"
 The gingham dress that she tried on certainly made her look more dig nified and lovely than any of the fril- ly frocks that I remember her to have worn. It was a green striped ging- ham with white linen collar and cuffs as the trimming. This sounds very simple and almost like the common place house-dress that women used to wear, but it is in the cut and in one or two slight touches of difference

JULIA CONTRADICTORY.

Julia Gonzaga-Colonna, duchess of Trieto, when very young, married the duke Vespasian Colonna, a man older than her father. After a few years she was left widow, rich and very beautiful, but although many suitors desired her hand, among them the foremost noblemen of Italy, she re- fused them all. The fame of her charms at length reached Sultan Soli- man II.
 He sent the commander of his navy to carry her off. Arriving with 2,- 900 soldiers, he had no difficulty in scaling the walls but the inhabitants not knowing the meaning of the inva- sion, set up the alarm. This awakened the duchess, who escaped from her chamber window and fled to the mountains, where she fell into the hands of bandits, who infested those regions. The bandits, moved by her appeals, treated her with kindness and restored her freedom She died in April, 1866.

From her earliest girlhood Eliza beth Cady was given to understand that women were inferior in the eyes of the law and the opinion of indi- v1duals. No matter what they achieved, what they sacrificed, what their age or condition, their position was subservient to man. While she was still tiny girl, her father, Judge Cady, of Johnstown. told her what were the inequalities of the law.
 For examle, many of the men in their neighborhood still retained the old feudal ideas regarding property inheritance. At mans death his property would descend to his son, and the mother would then be en- tire1y dependent upon the sons
