ABSOLUTELY PURE
FEMALE SUFFRAGISTS

\ man who was up in the country
on election day, says the Buffalo Ex
press. tells of some very funny things
that happened when the women came
out to vote.
He was in a Western New York vii
lage, and stood at the polls when {
spinster of uncertain age came to vote
One Of the watchers had been instruct
ed to challenge all the women, anG
when this woman walked into the
booth he stepped up to her and said
DO you desire to vote, Miss --!'
Certainly" she said.
''N ell, I'm sorry, but I'll have tC
challenge you"
"N hat do you mean by that?" she
asked suspiciously.
Il mean that there are persons who
think that you have not right to vote
and demand that if you do vote you
shall swear your vote H."
She stared in amazement Why
she stormed, Il have lived in this vii
lage all my life and have been con

You cannot vote unless you take

''Well.' she snapped, III take the

The watcher pronounced the oath
and the woman took it. ''Now," she
said. ''shOw me where to vote

And she fOunced out of the bootl

Commercial Use of Beach Pebbles.

Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy
shore of Lake Michigan nobody knows
how long are used as commercial
commodity in Chicago. They event
uallv find themselves sticking in hot
tar and making the gravel part OF
gravel roofs; crushed under heavy
rollers for street pavement; :; and pack
ed away sol;dly as the base of made
stoae sidewalks.
The most interesting operation
through which these bright-colored
bits 90 is the gathering. Men clad in
trousers rolled up TO the knees, shirt
and straw hat wade along the beach
where the water line makes the peb-
bles show clearly. In their hands is a
sort of net and hoe combined. The
hoe part is an open iron frame with a
thin shoe where the edge of the blade
would be. Stretched on this frame
and bending at an angle of 4o deg. is a
stout wire net. With the shoe the
gravel is lifted from the beach and
drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filled a net the workman
with peculiar fling lands the load
against a sieve pesched upon wagon.
This sieve allows the pebbles of com
mercial size to pass through into the
wagon and rejects those too large,
which fall back pattering into the
road. 1t is a common thing to see
two and three wagons at time bunch.

hands. Il Chicago Tribune.

SHE MADE THE MONEY FLY

The Princess Ypsilanti, who died
in Vienna a few days ago, belonged to
one of the oldest families in Austria
and was born in Vienna March II,
1916. Her father was the late Baron
Sina Won Hodos and kizdia, and her
mother a member of the famous Rou
manian family of Ghika. Baron Sina
was the son of George Sina, the
wealthiest banker in Vienna. Baron
Sina received on his fathers death
90,000,000 forins, or S45, 100000 says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. This i'm
mense sum was divided on the death
Of Baron Sina between his three
daughters. each receiving nearly Sl5.-
100000 One Of the daughters mar
ried George Mavrocordato, a member
of one of the nOblest families of Greece
The second married the spendthrift
/ Due de CastrieS. a relative of the
late Marshal Mac Mahon of France.
The third daughter, Helene, Nov. ;
/ 1862 when she was about seventeen
years old. married Prince Gregory
IpsiIanti, a native OF EpiIus, and ;
/ son Of Demetrius 1psilanti, whose
valorous deeds during the Greek revo
/ luton made the name of lpsilant
famous throuhout the world. Durius

metrius, with a small body of Greeks
one night sailed forth and attacke,
the enemy, creating such terror anon:
the Turks that they raised the sieg
the next day.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti was tn
| Greek envoy in Vienna for many years
He was d man of Independent mean
aside from the great fortune brough
to him by his wife, and served hi
country for honor alone, refusing a
compensation for his duties as its diI
lomatic representative IN Austria.
Prince Gregory 1psilanti died i
Paris. Feb 20, 1856, and was succeed

WHERE A DAY Is MISSED.
AN INTERESTING IMAGINARY LINE DRAW,


AN INTERESTING IMAGINARY LINE DRAWN
IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
A question which has often been
asked. but rarely answered satisfac-
tOrily. is. how far one would have TO
go around the earth, moving east and
west. and supposing no time lost IN
transition, before one would reach the
point where to-day changes into yes
terday or to morrow. Evidently there
must be such a point somewhere, for
an hour is lost every Is deg. one goes
to the east and an hour gained every
Is deg. one goes to the west.
To put the question in another way
suppose it Is one minute pastmidnight
in Paris on the morning of Oct. l,
what day is it at the same moment at
the antipodes of Paris? Is it Oct. l
or Sept. 30?
Apparently one can prove that it is
either of these days by making an in
Simultaneous journey half way around
the earth, either to the east or to the
west.
Going east, at the moment the
clocks point to minute past mid
night, it is approximately o'clock IN
the morning of Oct l at Vienna, 2
o'clock of the same day at Sebastopol,
8 o'clock at Astrakhan, 4 o'clock at
Bokara Z O'Clock at Saigon, 8 o'clock
at Yokonama, IL o'clock at Pine Island
and noon at Fortune Island-the 1st
of October at every point,
On the other hand going westward,
one finds that it is 10 o'clock in the
evening of Sept. 30 at the Azores
Islands, s o'clock in the evening at
Buenos Ayres. 7 o'clock at New York,
o'clock at New Orleans, 3:15 at Mex
leo City, l o'clock in the afternoon
near the Aleutian Islands and noon at
the Fortune Islands-the date being
Sept 30 in each case.
Thus one has demonstrated that it
is noon of Oct. l and noon of Sept. 30
at the same place and at the same
time
This would certainly be embarrass-
ing to the good people of Fortune
Island, and in order to avoid such com
plications and relieve we'll meaning
islanders in the Pacific from mixing
up their Saturdays and Sundays IN
hopeless fashion an arbitrary line
separating to-day from yesterday or
to morrow has been agreed upon by
the navigators of civilized nations.
This line has been drawn to avoid
touching land. No one can be exact
ly sure of the moment of passing it
but the line runs Just east of the New
Hebrides and the New Caledonian
groups and passes near the Marion
islands and the Caroline islands.
Captains of vessels, Judging by the
position of the islands mentioned, can
fix the date within few minutes.
Vessels sailing from west to east,
on passing this immaginary line,
simply repeat the day before on their
logbooks. which consequently show
two days bearing the same date.
On the other hand, ships going In
the opposite direction skip the to NOR
row and lose a day entirely. In the
first case the sailors get an extra days
pay; in the second place they lose a
days pay.
The conclusion of the whole matter
is that when Paris clocks indicate a
minute past midnight on Oct. l 1t IS
Oct. l going east as far as the imagin-
ary line just indicated, while 1t is Sept
80 going west up to the same line.

he spent fully minute in scratching

his head.
In his maiden speech on the floor
Of the house the redOubtable Champ
Clark of Missouri stuck to his text
with the quaintest logic He is re
garded as one Of the best story tellers
IN the country, but the only paragraph
III his speech that smacks of a story
was the assertion that Elf the house
paid the behests Of the American bond
holders and made a gold standard, in
a hundred years the people would be
reduced to the condition of the Rus
sian serfs and Mexican poems. The
bondholders would have all the money
in the country. for, as old jim Craig
of st. Joseph used to say. When a
dollars goes into ther capacious pock
cts the eagle on it sings, Farewell,
vain world, I'm going homew
This brought down the house.
While the Hon. Charles L. Moses
of Georgia was speaking for free sill
yer he was very much annoyed by
Gen Grosvenor, a leading Republican
from Ohio. Mr. Grosvenor was very
pressing with one of his questions.
Finally Moses turned to him and said:
My friend, had almost forgotten
you til you rose in your place yester-
day like the Rip Van Winkle of a
past era. You Republicans remind
me Of the old negro's terapin down
in Georgia. He cut the head off the
terrapin, and the next morning found
him crawling around the ward.
Good God the old darkey re-
marked, that fool terrapin don't know
he's done dead yet"
The laughter and applause was
most terrific, and Gen. Grovernor
made no further attempt to interrupt
Moses.
One OF the best stories told in the
debate on the silver bill came from
that brilliant young congressman.
Lafe Pence Of Colorado. He said
that the people in his country could
not discern the difference between the
dollar Of the treasury to-day and the
dollar Of the treasury under John
Sherman. To illustrate this he said
that back in Marion county, Ind,
there IS little town on the johnson
county line Of about 800 people.
\ stranger came into the town one
Sunday, and walking out from the no
tel saw a little white church and d
crowd going in. He noticed that ii
was a Lutheran church. He went on
ana in the next block saw little
brown church and was surprised tC
see that it was alsota LutheranLchurcb
He went back to the hotel and told
the proprietor that it struck him as
/ strange that in a little town like this
! hardly able to sustain one church,
there could be two churches Just alike
What do you mean," asked the
| landlord.
The stranger told him what he had
seen.
Oh" replied the landlord, you are
mistaken. Those two churches are
somewhat alike, but not Just alike
Over in the white church they believe
that the serpent tempted Eve, anC
Eve tempted Adam and Adam fell
but over in the brown church they
think that Adam was bad egg from
