consideration OF bills on the calendar.
a bill for the relief OF the citizens OF

Not Fair PLAY.

Would women vote? 1 confidently an
swer yes. Majorities of men must be in
favor of woman's vote before it will be
granted, since only by their will can
this change come. When they have
grown SO large minded and generous
hearted as to welcome woman to a place
beside them upon the throne of govern
ment, women will not be at all back
ward about coming forward. King Ma
jority will find his suit not less success
full than have been those of lesser kings
since time began. In some of the states
women have voted, much to the terror
of the Illicit saloons, and women all
over our country are gaining some dim
idea that for one-half the race to be
wholly governed by laws made and adj
ministered by the other half is not fair
play.-Miss Frances E. Willard

BObbie lived in the country where
they had little schooling. One day their
teacher told them of a country called
Japan, away across the sea. She said
that missionaries were sent to help the
poor, and sometimes children sent toys
to the poor little boys and girls
After the children reached home they
went to the nursery and found some toys
they had thrown away and ran outdoors
down to the stream Then Frank put
his little rocking horse and ball in the
water, and Mary put her doll and doll
trunk in it, and Lucy put her doll in,
and little Bobbie put his little wheel
barrow in the water with a piece of pa
per in it. This was a letter to the little
Japs.
When the children had finished, they
sat down and watched the toys float off.
They soon forgot about the toys, and
never thought again about the people
across the ocean
One day an old fisherman farther
down the stream was out in his boat,
when he saw in the distance little red
speck that was stuck in the mud ON tho
bank of the river. He rowed to the spot
and picked the little red wheelbarrow
up that Bobbie had sent to the Japs, and
in it was the paper. So the man opened
it, and he read as follows:
DEAR LITTLE JAPAN PEoPLE-We send you
these toys today floating across the ocean from
q country that is miles away. From Bobbie.
Lucy, Mary and Frank Brown.
But they never got to Japan at all

The Return of the Locusts.

This is the year when the 17-year To-
Gust, the red eyed cicada, is announced
to return. But of the 500 eggs the fe-
male lays only two reach maturity. If
you are interested in insects, you should
watch for the coming of these strange
little creatures. They appear some time
in May in the southern states and in
June farther north Many scientists have
given years TO their study You might
try to get the reports of the state ento-
mologists, which viii be sure to give
you all the information you want, and
then you might by observation make
some discovery for yourselves Boys,
please do.
In certain countries the coming of
this locust is always regarded with SUI
perstitious dread, people imagining that
the tracings on their wings point to
coming disasters, like wars OF pesti-
lences. York Journal

Another fact was shown-that here
after the florist will anticipate election
time, and that it will reap for him a
harvest with which the marriage feast
and the last obsequies bear no compari-

place there were handsome bouquets,
and the greenhouses were robbed of
their choicest gifts. Precinct 10 had the
voting booths in the building connected
with Grimes conservatory, and almost
every flower was utilized.

EARLY DAYS IN CALIFoRNIA.-Under
the title of I'm and Out of Death Valley
the editor of the Bakersfield Californian,
George F. Weeks. has begun the publica-
ton in his paper of an interesting
story ON pioneer aud other times"
in California. The story is to con-
tain. among other things, an account
of the Mountain Meadow massacre
given to Mr. Weeks directly by the narra-
tor, who was himself present at that horIi-
BILE affair. and it is probably the first time
that Mormon has of bis own free will
told the full story and put the blame for
that cruel slaughter where 1t justly be-
loDged. The author says that while it has
been necessary to resort to fiction in order
20 connect the many incidents taken from
real life, in nearly all essentials the truth
has been adhered to.
A NEW ENGLAND WoMAN.-Like many
that ne is novelist, but bis book which
has inst been issued under the .itle of "a
New England Woman, or the Confessions
of a Modern Jean Jacques Rousseau"
shows that he is not. In his endeavor to
write romance having for its purpose
the showing thai "a mans heart is so con-
stituted that no matter how deep the sor-
row, no matter how severe the trials,
given good health. good constitution and
true woman's love, his sorrows may be
turned into blessings and his trials into
triumphs," he has simply produced an ag-
gregation of words that seem more like
prepared statement for debating society
than a literary effort. New York: The
Socrates Publishing Company.]
SIR FRANCIS BACoN's CIPHER Story
The second volume of the cipher story
written by Sir Francis Bacon and de-
ciphered by Orville w. Owen. MD, has
been issued. DR.. Owen holds that Sir
Francis not only wrote the works ascribed
to him, but that he wrote the plays that
have in the past heen credited to Shakes
peare, and he claims that he has a cipher
by means of which he can collate from the
different works of Bacon and the plays of
Shakespeare the story of Francis Bacon's
life. This volume deals with court secrets.
