The Women Dfd IL.

On one of the most stormy, disagreeable
days of the year, nearly seventeen theus-
and noble, patriotic women of Boston went
to the polls and voted. This is not the
first time the mothers, wives, and daugh-
tiers of this country have taken up the
broom OF reform, and lone surprising work
for the Interests of their children and FAM
lilies.
Although over twenty thousand Boston
women registered, hardly anyone (save the
women themselves) believed they would
actually vote.
This proves that every year new avoca-
tions are opening where women DEM
onstrate their ability, as well as ~capabiIity
to transact business for themselves, and
max money.
Women living near a village or la rye

James L. Burgess, Nashua, N. H., says she

100 hens easily, and made ten times as
much. She attributes her success to the
use of Sheridan's Condition Powder to
make hens lay. There Is no doubt, that

About This and That. Here and There.

Barclay Stiles, whose boyhood days were
spent in Eldridge's Hill, but who now lives
at Fair View. can tell what he knows
about fractions horses. He owned a cer-
tain animal which did not exactly suit
him, because he could not trust his wife
with the lines, and when she and the
children wanted TO take a ride Barclay had
to do the driving. So he d~roye.over to the
Mouroeville exchange stables one day not
long since and requested to be shown q
horse that the droyer could recommend as
being a kind and deeile beast and gentle
enough for any woman to drive. Barclay
and the droyer soon came to terms and
horse No. / was exchanged for horse No.
2. Barclay felt pleased with his bargain,
and one pleasant day concluded to hitch
up his new nag and exercise him on the
road. Expecting, of course, that his new
horse-new to B~arclay-would start slow
and easy as a good horse should, the COM
mand s'get up was given. The order
was promptly obeyed. Mr.. Stiles declares
that the animal leaped sixteen feet the first
bound, accompanied by Barclay and the
carriage through a pole fence. At the end
of the first bound Barclay remained sta
tionary upon the ground, but the flying
horse went on. He says the horse kicked
so high that the steel shoes on his feet
were plainly visible above the top of the
carriage. A great breach in the fence and
a slightly damaged vehicle was the result
of the fracas. No. 2 was taken back to
Monroeville and Barclay is again the proud
owner of horse No. 1.
