The" Queendom
of Xanthos
An Experiment In Woman's
Independence
By F. A. MITCHEL
A clever young woman of Athens,
when that city was the intellectual
center of Greece, lectured In the mar
ket place on the subject of the inferior
rights possessed by women and urged
her fellow citizenesses to demand the
privileges of men. She succeeded in
inaugurating a movement with that
nd in view, and the demand was
made. But it was denied.
Then this young feminine leader
Thenia was her name proposed to the
malcontents that they should go to one
of the islands of the Grecian archipel
ago which was uninhabited, take pos
session of it and assume the same priv
ileges that were possessed by the men
of Athens.
The scheme was put into effect, and
the island, then called Xanthos, became
a woman's community, Thenia having
been chosen queen. At the time the
women took possession of it their rad
ical wing was in the ascendancy, and
no men were invited to Join them.
The leader of this wing, Hermodia, a
very homely woman, argued that they
had no use for men and could take
care of themselves. As to perpetuating
their community, they could draw con
tinually from the women of other
parts. But one day a pirate ship came
tojthe island and spread consternation
among the inhabitants. Queen Thenia
sent for Hermodia to lead a corps of
amazons against the intruders. The
man hater was found hiding under the
bed.
The pirates were bought off, and the
queen proposed to enlist a corps of
men to be held ready for the protec
tion of the queendom as she Insisted
it should be called to be paid for their
services, but in order that they should
not interfere in - public affairs they
were to have no privileges, being con
sidered foreign mercenaries.
Now, the Xanthos movement had tak
en many of the most attractive young
women of Greece, and when it was
given out that an armywas to be re
cruited for the protection of the qneen
dom many of the finest young men
flocked to the standard, indeed, they
were just the men who would be
most likely to cause trouble among the
inhabitants of the Island. When the
queen beard of the kind of men who
were being recruited she was dis
tressed. "Alas," she exclaimed, "our main dif
ficulty has been encountered at the out
set. While we are mentally as strong
as men we are physically weaker. 1
fear that this will prove a stumbling
biOck in our way!"
"Cheer up, your majesty," said Ceria.
a citizeness of great beauty. "What
we lack in strength of body we can
supply by artful management We
must have these men to protect us
against the lowest and most brutal of
their kind, piratei" But we will hood
wink our protectors. It Is easier to
hold power wbich we jilreadypossess

than to wrest it from others. "What we
could not do at Athens will be easy at
Xanthos."
Queen Thenia was encouraged by
this reasoning, but the barracks were
built on a point standing out into the
Aegean sea, and a wall was construct
ed dividing the point from the rest of
the island. 1 Then she gave orders that
no soldier should cross the wall.
But the queen forgot that all com
mands in order to be effective must
have force behind them. It was a sim
ple matter for her to issue an order,
but she had no power to see that it
was obeyed. The troops had hardly
been . settled in their quarters before
they began to make incursions upon
the forbidden ground. The queen or
dered the captain of the legion to ap
pear before her and asked him why he
did not compel his men to obey her
order.
Now, the captain, Themocles, was a
handsome young Greek who had dis
tinguished himself in the wars of his
country. He had seen Thenia when
she had spoken In the market place of
Athens and had fallen in love withMier.
When she had called for troops to de
fend herself and her subjects he had
organized the legion and. being the
finest specimen of manly beauty and
bravery in it, was chosen its leader
He and his men had come to Xanthos
to protect the women from pirates that

they might appropriate them to them
selves. It Is thus that the superior physical
strength of men is ever a source of
weakness in the cause of equal rights
for women.
"1 fear, oh, queen." he said,, "that 1
cannot control my men in this respect
since I cannot control myself!"
"What is the cause of your weak
ness?" asked the queen, astonished.
"Yourself."
The look of admiration that accom
panied the word was a revelation.
Two emotions fluttered In her breast
delight at ter conquest and fear of
subjugation. Nevertheless she main
tained a haughty reserve, not knowing
what course to pursue. Then without
reply she dismissed the captain and at
once sent for Ceria.
"You said, Ceria," the queen began
when Ceria appeared, "that since we
cannot control the legion by force we
must do it by our feminine arts. The
time has come when an application of
those arts is necessary. The soldiers
are constantly leaving their barracks
and 1 fear will tamper with some of
our weaker sisters and. having effect
ed a foothold in our community, will
reduce us to the slavery we have pre
viously endured. I have ordered the
captain to keep his men in their bar
racks, and he has admitted that he
cannot control them. Have you any
thing to propose?"
"I will think the matter over, oh.
queen, and see If I can concoct a
plan."
Ceria withdrew, and while she was
thinking of the matter there was a
commotion among the women of Xan
thos. One party held that since wom
en were dependent on men for protec
tion they must continue to be their
slaves. Another declared that a mis
take had been made in admitting the
men; they should at once be sent
away.
Those who believed that the men
should be sent away prevailed, and
the queen was petitioned to issue an
order for the legion to depart at once.
To this she was obliged to assent, and
the order was issued.
Several days passed, during which
the women watched for preparations
on the part of their army for de
parture, but could perceive none. Then
the queen sent for itn captain and ask
ed him why her order had not" been

obeyed. He replied that he liad issued
it in her name, but his men seemed
averse to obeying It Some of them
had formed attachments to women of
the island while the latter were still
Athenians, and some had been cap
tivated since. They were all well sat
isfied with their enlistment and claim
ed that they could not be discharged
till its term had expired.
The queen in her extremity sent for
Ceria and asked her If she had thought
of a plan to get the men away by
strategem." To this Ceria replied: .
"Oh, queen, the fault Is In our wom
en. Expel from your queendom all
those for whose sake the men are re
maining and you will be rid of this
Incubus."
Now, the queen was greatly vex
ed at this proposition, for it would
cause her own expulsion. She there
fore declined to avail herself of Ce
ria's plan. But Ceria, who. being a
beauty, was tired of remaining In se
clusion, went among the queen's sub
jects and stirred up a sedition, so that
at last Thenia was forced by a clamor
to yield. An order was Issued to the
captain that every man who was re
maining on the island for love of one
of the queen's subjects should march
to the palace on a certain day and
hour and declare publicly the name of
the woman he love'd.
On the appointed morning a great
stir appeared In the barracks of the
legion. The queen and her subjects
took position before the palace and
awaited the coming of those men who
were to declare their love. What was
their consternation to see every man
in the legion form in column and,
headed by their captain, with banners
flying and the sun glittering on their
armor, march out of barracks toward
the palace.
The queen swooned.
By the time the legion drew up in
line before her she bad recovered and
by an effort controlled herself. The
captain advanced several paces, salut
ed with his sword and declared himself
a suitor for the queen's hand., Thenia
blushed and covered her face with her
hands. Then a lieutenant advanced
and announced his love for Ceria. He
had no sooner done so than others ad
vanced holding up their hands, crying
"And I!" "And I!" "And I!" till fully
a third of the legion were clamoring
for recognition as the girls' lovers.
Discipline was at an end. the men
breaking from the ranks and each
choosing the girl he desired.
Now, the legion numbered barely a
tenth of the citizenesses of Xanthos.
and, as was to be expected, the sol
diers' chose the most comely and other
wise attractive of the women, who
made no objection whatever-to being
chosen. Indeed, many of them had"
for some time been secretly receiving
the attention of certain of the men.
There, necessarily remained a large
number of women unchoseu. These re
marked the defection of their queen
and their chosen fellow citizenesses
with bitter condemnation. One of
these, who saw in the action of the
soldiers the fall of the community, de
livered a speech to her sisters which
was as full of severe invective as her
features were repulsive. Then the
body of unchosen women departed in
anger very much like the chorus In a
Greek play going off the stage.

February Legends.
Why February has twenty-eight days
Is explained in the legends of the past.
One is of an old woman who. tending
her-.tlock. ridiculed the mouth of Kehru
ary because he had' dealt so leniently
with her and her sheep Then Febru
ary felt- insulted and made leap year
and borrowed a cold day from March
and froze her and her n.-ck. There is a
Norman legend which makes it our
that February had originally as many
days its the other months, but Febni
ary was a confirmed yntubler and lost
at dominos a day both to January and
to March" Strange to say. there is an
old story of Egypt wherein the sod of
February plays forfeits with the inoon
and loses certain davs.
Condemned to Slavery.
Two hundred years ago. when men
and women werecondeniiied to death
for trivial oflenseSit was the custom
in Scotland to commute the death sen
tence into perpetual servitude to speci
fied masters. In other words, the-condemned
person became a slave. It
was further ordained that he should
wear a metal collar round his neck re
cording his sentence and punishment
The Society of Scottish Antiquaries
owns one of these collars, fished out
of the Forth above Alloa. It is brass,
with this inscription: "Alexander Stew
art, found guilty of death for theft at
Perth. 5th- December. 1701. and gifted
by the justiciars as a perpetual serv
ant to Sir John Aresken of Alva."
Weiqhing Common Air.
The weight of air has often been test
ed by compressing it in receptacles by
the air pump. That it really lias weight
when so compressed is shown by the
fact that the weight of the vessels is
increased slightly by filling them with
compressed air and that such vessels
become specifically "lighter" as soon
as the air contained in them is ex
hausted Many elaborate experiments
on the weight of air have proved that
one cubic foot weighs 5315 grains, or
something less than one and a quarter
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight of air is supposed to be made
at the surface of the earth with the
temperature at 50 degrees F. Heated
air or air at high elevations is lighter.
Solitude.
Solitude is a matter of taste. It has
been the subject of much discussion.
Volumes have been written in praise
or condemnation of it But perhaps the
real value of solitude has never been so
subtly and so accurately expressed as
by the girl who was asked if she liked
being alone. "That depends." she an
swered sweetly, "on whom I am alone
with."

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 26.
Maryon ' Andrews-Burguiere-Denning-Bruguiere,
California beauty and a
member of the New York's and New
port's exclusive set, is enroute to this
city to begin her active battle to be
declared the legal wife of Dr. Pedar
Sather Bruguiere and compel him to
provide separate maintenance of 400
a month.
Mrs. Bruguiere's suit not only seeks'
to set aside her divorce from the mil
lionaire physician and society man,
but itj would have his marriage in
1906 with, his present wife, who was
Nannie King, step-daughter of A. C.
Townsend, fee candy magnate, auto
matically declared illegal.
Mrs. Bruguiere was the second wife
of the much" married physician. He
first married Madeine McKisick,
whom he divorced in-1902. His court
ship with the beautiful Maryon An
drews was far advanced before he
had secured his decree from his first
wife.
The decree from the first Mrs. Bru
guiere, however, stipulated that he
could not remarry for a year. This,
however, applied to California only.
Bruguiere and Miss Andrews went to
Reno where they were married on De

and. on September 6 of the following
year a son was born to them.
Bruguiere went to Reno February 1,
1905 ,and established a residence. He
