c. T. U. Those of us who have voted find that it takes us fifteen or twenty minutes to go to the polls, deposit our ballots and return home. Surely many ladies leave their homes for a much long, CT time than that while calling or shop ping. We have in our local union de- partment of franchise, and have held meetings in which we have studied and discussed the laws relating to women. So long as there is one place in these United States where a father can will away his unborn child, some of us moth CTS want to vote; not so much for our own protection as for the sake of some of our sisters who have not husbands and fathers, good and true, like our own.
 We find with Patrick Henry that "etern- al vigilance is the price of liberty" for, alas! men and even lawmakers change their minds. Last winter a strong effort was made to repeal the school suffrage law, and our women had to be on hand to oppose that. The only change, however from the law of '93 requires that women desiring to vote must register at least five days previous to election.
 Ms. Forbes says: "While there should be law protecting both sexes, there should never be an age over which 1t is lawful for girl to consent, or be supposed to give her consent, to an act which shall forever ruin her, and her participant in the crime be protected by law" Through the efforts of our women in different states 4he "age of consent" has been raised from seven and ten to twelve, fourteen, six teen, and in some states, believe, to twenty-One years. Our Connecticut state organization last winter made an effort to have it raised from fourteeen to eighteen years. The house and senate could not agree, and compromised by raising 1t to sixteen years, as it now stands on the statute book of Connecticut.
 We do not use our money in buying votes, but some one or several must spend great deal of time and use their brains in influencing our legislature. Cir culars and pamphlets must be printed and circulated. If we could vote much valuable time would be saved to the home.
 Our local union has a department and superintendent of literature. She se cures subscribers for our national organ The Union Signal, which, by the way, is one of the most progressive and brightes of papers, giving us an outlook on all re form movements. Our superintendent would like to furnish 1t free to all tho pas tors in the town. We would like to pre- sent books on temperance, purity, an Miss Willard's Do Everything," "I Great Mother" "How I Learned to Rid a Bicycle" and several others, to the diff ferent libraries of our town.
 We wish to acknowledge here the court esy of the editor of The Press in granting us certain amount of space weekly. w. have superintendent of press work, anC if yOH will glance at the w. c. T. U. col umn in The Press, from week to week you will become better acquainted witt our work.

 We can't keep our children within the walls of our own homes always, they aim is to make all the world home like. We can have them only five or seven years before they must go to school, hence our intense interest in everything that pertains to the school. How can mother be indifferent to anything that effects the education of her child?
 Because we are mothers, or have mother hearts, some of us eagerly take advantage of the opportunity given us by the state of Connecticut to vote in school matters. Some of the money from the w. c. T. U. state treasury has been applied in helping the suffrage asso- citation to secure the passage of the law granting this suffrage to women. School suffrage is only small bite, while we feel that the whole loaf should be ours, but, If we want, the loaf, we must show our appreciation Of the bite. It takes much less time to vote than it does to cir culate petitions, and requires less pub- licity. "When 8 woman will, she will, and you may depend on't," and we are determined to be heard in some way. Because we couldn't vote we have been obliged to leave our homes and go out on the streets circulating petitions for the protection of our homes. We don't like to do this, brothers, for we arc all excel lent housekeepers and cooks. We refel you to our husbands. Some of us, say vote; more of us do not. Here, again we see the elasticity of W. 0.

BURDICK'S TRIAL.
TRUE STORY OF FORTY YEARS AGO.
BY A. B. DAVE.

BY B. DAVE.
 The scene of the following story was a quiet manufacturing village in eastern Connecticut, where forty years ago it cre- ated no little sensation.
 "Well, Burdick," said MT. Durlison, came into the cloth room, "what's the news?"
 F'I don't know of much, MT. DurlisOn, except there's a thief on Factory Hill."
 "A thief" exclaimed MT. Durlison. Impossible! this village hasn't such a disgraceful parsonage in it; but what makes you say so ?"
 "Well, MT. Durlison, you can believe it or not, but it has thief on Factory Hill" "Pray tell what kind of thief, and who is itl"
 "Its thief that's been stealing my hay, and it's ShamrOom, your boss machinist. " "I don't believe it, Burdick, and you'd better be rather careful what kind of stories you repeat or you may get your self into trouble Remember, this isn't the end of it." So saying, he left the room and went to the machine room, where MT. Shamroon was at work.
 "Good morning, Mir. Shamroon," said he, "you have had plenty of hay this win ter, haven't your"
 "Oh, yes, sir. am flush with hay. bought ton of MT. Browning, and then fearing might not have enough, I bought another ton of MT. Terry"
 After hearing this welcome news, MT Durlison returned to the cloth room and said to Burdick: "ShamrOon says ht bought one ton of hay of MT. Browning and another of MT. Terry"
 ''He is a liar!" replied Burdick ''ht hasn't had any hay this winter, only wha1 he has stolen"
