that their rights were being trampled

They put forward as their champion
Charles w. Saul, the handsome sta

who had endeared himself to every fe-

manners as well as his good looks. Saul
willingly accepted the honor, and the
women started in to win. They can

vote against Saul meant dismissal. AS
Il consequence, the women were at the
polls in force. The main portion of the

I could not live without you" whis-
pered Nell brokenly.
Hush, my darling-we will not talk

trucks and carriages, by which, If a

threatens to block the traffic, the in
jury can be repaired temporarily in a
