The Bright Young womon Who Insisted
That the Old Man should SIT Down.

That the Old Man should Sit Down.
The car was crowded, and when it
stopped at the corner to take on an
other passenger everybody groaned
and inwardly cursed the conductor.
The new arrival was an elderly,
white haired old gentleman, and he
picked his way laboriously down the
aisle, looking wistfully from one seat
to another. Some of the he althy
young men busted themselves with
their papers; others looked straight
ahead and pretended not to see the
new passenger. Suddenly a ine-look-
ing, well-dressed woman created
commotion and revulsion of feeling
by arising gracefully and politely Of
fering the OLD man her seat.
- am younger than you, sir" she
said sweetly, and can better afford
to stand mp. insist upon your taking
nv seat"
Protestations were made but proved
useless, and the old man dropped into
the seat with a sigh of satisfaction.
Instantly everybody in the car felt
mean and half dozen arose and of
fered the kind-hearted lady a seat.
Thank you" she replied stifflr.
I'm going to alight at the next cor
ner: keep your seats"
The passengers resumed their seats
in shamefaced manner. They looked
out at the gliding rows Of houses and
wondered when ears would be built
large enough to protect them from
such embarra ssing moments. They
felt little better when, as the lady
alighted, she lnuttered to friend.

they should be run. Senator Palmer
understands that minorities have
rights, and that so long rs they exer-
else those rights within the legiti-
mate provisions of the laws and reg
ulations of the government they
should not be condemned. He saws
in an interview:
1T is all nonsense TO say we can't ret

the courage and persistency to stick
to it. / am not in favor of contests
of endurance. The all-night session
is simply process of standing man
physically weak up against one who
is strong. After being knocked
down the weak man may pick him
self up and renew the fight, but he is
foolish to invite the knock down blow
when he can avoid it. If we settle
down for long siege, sitting every
day from II in the morning till at
night, we can soon tire these fellows
out. Sooner or later the time must
come when we can get vote.

A member of parliament cannot re-

parliament can remain in his seat

There is a large bowlder lying in

is known throughout Derbyshire as
'Hangman's Stone" The exposed
portion of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface of the sur
rounding field and has a narrow ditch
or indentation running across the top.

The man had h. sheep tied with

the friction of the rope while the dy-

extricate himself
