tury was marked by bountiful givingby Americas rich women Contribu ¬

tions to the cause of education charityand religion have been so generousthat the aggregate sum Is astounding

A womans sympathies are easilytouched by suffering and sorrow andshe is susceptible to religious influenceConsequently these objects are morolikely to appeal to her as worthy ofaid than educational institutions lIos¬

pitals missions etc have in the pastbeen the recipients of womans gener ¬

osity while men have given more attention to founding schools and libra ¬

ries Time past few years howeverhave witnessed a tendency in womento help educational movements andthis cause has in several notable in ¬

stances been richly endowedOnly a few weeks ago the world was

amazed to learn that Mrs Jane LStanford widow of the late LelandStanford had transferred 30000000worth of stocks bonds and real estateto the great university founded as amemorial to her son Leland Stanford

JrThis Is the execution of plans madeby Mr and Mrs Stanford severalyears ago before the death of the hus ¬

band but even It this gift is excludedfrom the list the records show thatwomen have given something like 18000000 during the year This of itselfIsa magnificent figure and with thoStanford gift added it reaches 48000000 a golden legacy well calculat¬

ed to dazzle time eyes of tho worldMrs Stanfords gift is believed to be

the largest ever made by man or woman for the benefit of a college beingconsiderably moro than twice as largeas the munificent contributions of JohnD Rockefeller to the University ofChicagoAnother

IITIbIMIES 1

The story I am about to relatehappened years ago whun I wasa child ton years old

How well I remember the lowrambling farm house on top ofthe hill the two large chestnuttrees on either side of the gateand the row of negro cabins inone corner of the yard

At the foot of the long sandyhill on a creek stood the water-mill with its oldfashioned over ¬

shot wheel and the moss laythick on the clapboard roof

This mill was my favorite re ¬

sort and I spent the greater partof my time there listening to the

farmIersbe ground and exchanged bits ofnews with each other or with oldBen the negro miller

On this particular day Benand I were sitting out in front ofthe mill putting a split bottomin a chair

After working away in silencefor some time he said Youngmarso I hear you awyn to havea new pap fore long

CIA new pap I asked whatmakes you think so Benl

My father had been dead threeyears and I did not remembervery much about him Thefarm had been managed by anoverseer a Mr Buckley whomall the negroes hated and all ofus children were afraid of on ac¬

count of his gruff way of speak ¬

ing and stern repelling mannerOld Ben scratched his wools

head and saidFore de Lord child it am

de very wust man you could tinkob de man who all de niggershate

What I exclaimed youdont mean our overseer 2

Dots de man dats de weryman and if youns dont hab ahard time when ho marries yorema and us niggers will see sightsand dream of wonders

When is it goin to happenjI asked

Fust of next monthso LizaAnn told me she iu housenigger and they allus know whatis a gwmo on

This was news to me indeedI could not what a gen ¬

tle refined ladylike my mothercoirld see in a rough uncouthignorant man like Buckley toadmire I wondered what mysister thought about it and myanxiety was so great that I de ¬

termined to go and ask her at

onceAs I was leaving the mill Bencalled to me not to say anythingabout his telling me as he had aparticular reason for not wantingit known I promised and wassoon at the house and callingmy sister asido I asked her if itwas true that mother was goingto marry Buckley She said itwas and I ow from her quiver¬

ing chin i LA fftfj it eye that thematch was distasteful to her

I know in my heart thatmother abhors him and she isafraid of him I cannot under-stand

¬

what influence he hasbrought to boar on her to induceher to marry him

tI will ask her and find outcome let us go to her now andtell her do not want thus manfor our father and not to marryhim

I took her by the hand and wewent in mothers room She wassitting by the window withia sadfaraway look in her eyes andthere were traces of tears on her

cheekMotherwe heard you were

going to marry old Bill Buckleyand wo have come to ask you notto do it because we dont likphim and ho is a mcan man andwe dont think you love himat least sister dont You arenot going to marry him I are you I-

That afternoon at the mill Iconfided what had taken place toBen telling him that mother didnot want to marry Buckley thatshe was afraid of him for somereason and she was very unhappy
