Against the convict lease system, the

other barbarities which degrade us, we
shall protest with such force of logic
that those who oppress us will either
cease to disavow the inalienability and
equality of human rights, or be ashamed
to openly violate the very principles
upon which this government was
founded. By discharging our obliga

closest possible touch with the masses

Thoee in attendance at the Federa
tion meeting on Tuesday heard Mrs.
Scott's enthusiastic report of the Re
ciprocity Bureau. In the October
Club Woman a paper, "Reciprocity
Among Clubs," read by Mrs. Ballard
Thompson of Michigan, is published.
She dwells upon the value state fed
erated clubs have received from their
Reciprocity Bureaus and advocates the
forming of a great Central Bureau.
Mrs. Croly in the May number of the
Club Woman suggested a number of
Central bureaus for important depart
ments. The French Woman at the
Congrea des Droits de la Femme, which
was held dur'iDK the Paris Exposition

The French laws are frequently Btern

the French woman of the novels leaps
into our mind. French literature is
supposed to lead in the art of realism
but nevertheless it does not give us a
fair idea of the capability of the French

When Frau Gettrud found the palo

Smith Kestner. Even Schwartz Kum

Sunday afternoon, he slouched into
the smithy, while Frau Gertrud talked
with the young wife of the miller, from
down stream, and the miller's pretty
sisters. Black Kummelmann lived
alone, and muttered to himself for com
pany. When he came to the smithy,
" it was to be talked to, not to talk.
The situation has its terrors, which only
the reticent know. It was not pleas
ant to thwart Black Kummelmann by
half hours of smoke and silence. It
was at such times that the eloquence

the cooper's thick Swabian guttural.

spread out his thick fingers and con
templated two pale yellow gold rings,
alike awkwardly filed apart, inside his
palms, to allow the passage of ;ha hairy
fourth finger of each hand.
"And it was these golden Ringlein
that him betrayed. My father watches
behind the green hedge, when all the
camp sleeps. The mud of the road is
freezing. Soon the frost will 6park!e

by the stars. It is das Kleine, the lit

the left finger over the left cleft of the
judgment, her capacity for work, and
the responsibility tbat she carries. A
French woman forms her opinions rapid
ly and with enthusiasm. She possesses
wonderful power and case in expressing
herself. Several years ago it was great
surprise to a email party of Americans
visiting in France to find a well organ
ized Woman's suffrage league there.
One evening at the salon of the charm
ing madame many ideas in regard to
the advancement of women were pro
nounced. An occasional epigram, music,
a veiee or the bravos of the monsieure
took off the sharp ecjges of radicalism.
The Congress this summer gave an op
portunity for the expression of such
ideas as were then put forth but which
hid grown with the passing of time
with great strides. The measures ad
vieed at the Congress were beyond what
we have planned for or even dreamed of
in this country. "They would have all
young girls, rich and poor, taught to be
covering a aistance of 203 miles, as the
towns are fifty two miles apart. The
intersecting country is practically a
wilderness. Generally she is alone, and
if she has a companion he is likely to
ba a miner, a commercial traveler, or a
lawyer, who has rented a horse from
Miss Burk's father, and she is to col
lect payment and care for the horse."
