where Women Can Vote.

South Dakota was the only state
where the question Of woman suffrage
was voted on or was In any sense an
issue, at the recent election. The
earlier returns indicated that woman
suffrage had carried the day, but the
full vote tells a different story. This
is the second time that woman suf-
frage has been submitted to the peo-
pie of South Dakota and beaten, the
same question having been voted on
there eight years ago. Up to date. the
question of unlimited woman suffrage
has been voted on in 13 states, and it
has been adopted in wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Utah and Idaho only, and there is
still some question about it's strict
legality in Idaho. All of these states
are located in the very far West. The
advocates of female suffrage point with
pride to the results that have been at
tanned, but the sentiment in favor OF
this innovation does not seem to be in
creasing rapidly in this country, and in
the East interest in the movement ap-
pears to have been growing less for
several years past. The reaction has
come, and the American woman realizes
that her true field is broader and nobler
than political activity can give.
There can be no doubt that in most
states of the Union women are now
rendering important public service.
Their advice and aid are sought in the
management of many charitable and
penal institutions. They have been
called upon to serve as school directors
and commissioners, while as teachers
in the public schools they far outnum-
ber the men. Their public service in
these capacities has, as a rule, been
more valuable, more practical, and far
more free from political taint, than
| much of that rendered by men in SIM
| liar positions. But further than this
the large majority of women in most of
the states do not care to go. Full suf-
frage few of them ask, and few of them
care to have. If the time ever comes
when the women of the East agree that
| they want the ballot, the men of the
East will not be inclined to say them

An influential society in England has
taken up the subject of docking horses
tails, and it is probable that in the fu-
ture the shows arranged by this So
ciety, and others under it's influence,
will not receive entries of horses so
mutilated. The docking, as one critic
of the practice points out, is largely a
fashion, and when society agrees to
consider short, scrubby brush bad
form, and a long, flowing tail mark
of elegance in stylish animal, senti-
ment will change, and what legislation
now strives with difficulty to stop will
be abolished without further trouble.
Consequently, the education of fashion
able public opinion up to this humane
point is now to be attempted.

RUSSIA AND PAX VOBISCUM.
In Its Policy of SpolIation There Has
Been No Sign of Peace.

In It's Policy of SpolIatiOn There Has
Been No Sign of Peace.
The bishops and the salvationists
and all the sentimentalists are still
busy with their hosannas, of course,
but there is not a man in England who
has to deal practically with affairs
who believes that the scheme is hon
est. Why, he asks, was the moment
chosen by Russia to declare in favor
of peace? Has not her policy for
years past, in the far east especially,
made directly for war? She has been
aggressive, INSCRIPTIONS, untruthful IN
her dealings with China, with Japan
and with England; she scared Japan
out of the Liaotung peninsula, and
claimed it for herself; she bluffed Eng
land out of Manchuria, and she now
claims it for her sphere of influence.
in all this policy of spoliation there
was no sign Of peace, nothing that
suggested the temper Of Cancellation.
If we had had a statesman with grit
at our foreign Office the cars gov
eminent would have received an ulti-
matum months go, and even Lord
Salisbury could not have withstood the
indignation of the country many weeks
longer At an early date there must
have been war between this country
and Russia, with the alternative that
Russia should give up her pretensions
in northern China and her sinister
policy at Pekin. The issue was clear,
but Count Mouravieff evades it by COM
ing forward smilingly with this evan
gel from his august master LET us
forget all the past" he seems to- say,
"all the lies 1 have told you, all the
tricks I have played upon you. Think
no more of the fortifications at Batoum
or Port Arthur, trouble no more about
the huge navy Russia is building. eve
have worried each other a great deal |
lately. Let us have peace-now that I
I have got the spoil" It is all very I
pretty and very pleasing, but this form I
of repentance at the eleventh hour is
not likely to deceive any man of sense
in England. From the patriotic Eng
lish point of view this rescript is a
Review.

When Bismarck Lost His Head.

A story is told Of Bismarck when he
visited London as far back as 1S43. He
was taken by his entertainers to the
noted brewery Of Messrs. Barclay C
Perkins, as was certain Austrian gen.
eral on another memorable occasion.
His reputation as a teer drinker had
preceded him, and his hosts presented
him with an enormous tankard of old
ale. The size of the beaber conveyed a
challenge which the young champion
of the Prussian Junkers was not slow
to accept. This is his own account Of
what followed, as told by him to Sir
Charles Dixie: II seized the tankard,"
said he, "and thought of my country
and drank to Prussia and tilted it till
it was empty. Then l thanked my en-
tertainers-courteously, l hope-and
succeeded in making my way as far as
London bridge. There 1 sat down in
one of the stone recesses, and for hours
the great bridge went round and round

CHAPTER TX.

Sulliyan's publlc-house, the thorn In
every squatter's side for thirty miles
around, was small wooden shanty
consisting OF four or five rooms. At
the back was a building containing
ten OF twelve sleeping hunks. This
was called the dead-house, as 1t was
used chiefly for putting customers into
when they were dead drunk. Outside
the house, facing the mail-track, was
verandah, if a continuation of the
shingled roof supported by rough posts
stuck into the bare earth could be
dignified by the name.
Beneath the shade Of this rough
verandah, one hot afternoon, lay two
or three drunken wretches overcome
by the fumes of the lightning rum. In
side the bar were five or six bushmen
busily engaged in throwing dice for
drinks. "Odd man out" was the game,
and at the rate Of one shilling per
nobbler the amusement could hardly
be considered a cheap one, especially
when the after-effects of the eight
ming" upon the consumer were taken
into consideration.
Very few station hands on their way
down to town ever succeeded in getting
past Sullivans; some had attempted
it a score Of times and failed, Even
before the unhappy pigeon had arrived
the news was brought that Long

big cheque."
'T1et me see---Jim must have been
over two years now on the station
since he had his last burst" the bloat-
| ed-looking rUtfian of landlord would
remark. 81 dare say he's got over q
/ hundred pounds!" And when Long
| Jim hove in sight he was sure to be
hailed by half score OF loafers and
pressed to stop the night.
No-he had determined to push on to
the next stage. His horse was fresh,
and he was anxious to get on. Well,
he would stop and have plate of soup
and bite? No-he had got some
tucker" with him.
some one would cry.
No, he was ION the teetotal tack"
"WeE, you amt ;a-goin' off like that
without shoutin', Jim!" one of the
loafers would suggest.
Shout" the pigeon would cry, thus
probed in his weakest part. "Of
course I'll shout? There's nothing
mean about me, anyhow What are
you ali going to have? Drinks all
round, and one for yourself, Sullivan"
"You must have small drain, too,
jim, just to show that there's no i'll
will, you know" the landlord would
suggest
ooh, not for me, Sullivan! / know
your game of old. Well, just to show
there amt no animosity, give me
small drop of what you've got. Here's
better luck!"

sorts of solutions to the riddle, and
penny-a-liners found in it large
scope for their imaginations.
All the remarkable disappearance
that had ever been recorded were
brought to light again, and, as last
loophole out Of the difficulty, it was
suggested that the man had for some
urgent reason determined to lose his
identity and so had gone off, leaving
his boots behind him in order to throw
people off the scent.
Like most other mysteries, this soon
became thing Of the past. The sub
ject at last grew monotonous, and In
very few months people had ceased
to think any more about it. What,
after all, was bushman more or less
of whom no one knew anything and
for whom nobody cared?

Future Welfare of the Continent Lies in
Their Fertile Fields.
The rapid progress that is being
made in the settlement of the fertile
prairies of Western Canada is leading
to the investigation of its resources by
those interested in having provision
made for those living in the crowded
east, for those who have been stius-
Cling FOR years on impoverished farms,
for the renter who is unable any longer
to bear up under the strain imposed by
the landlord, and for the farmer who,
unable to purchase farms for his sons
in his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The
investigation shows that it is impos-
sible to meet these conditions success
fully outside of Western Canada. AL
ready millions Of bushels of wheat are
being grown there each year, while as
many as $4,000 head of cattle were
shipped out this year. A representa-
