Love and Charity. Prejudice has ever
been inconsistent. Custom and per-
sonal interest will only break away
the remaining ones in the future as
they have done in the past. 1t is not
many years since it was considered un-
secmly for Il woman to write a book,
to teach Il school, or to be heard in
church, and although it has not
brought about the millennium for wo-
men to exercise these Inherent rights
1T has made her stronger and still
more womanly and great good has
been the result.
There are many kindhcartcd men,
who, anxious to shield women from
added responsibilities, will vote against
the amendment.
There are thoughtlcss, kindly dis.
posed mothers, who weaken their
children mentally and morally by
shielding them from manual labor.
| conscientiously believe that if the
responsibilities of voter were in
trusted to our girls when they became
OF age that they would become less
frivolous, more equally poised, better
rounded i'll character, and that they
would become better mothers and
more worthy and companionable
wives. If the fathers were to repre-
sent their sons at the ballot-box, af-
fairs would for time, apparently
move on us usual, but after IL while
the effect would be seen and felt uron
the sons. They would turn to light
reading and frivolous conversation as
the girls do. 1t cannot be worse and
it may be better If new mental obliga.
tlons are thrust upon women. The
duties OF and cares of good men should
be lightened and both sexes should
work side by side in the interests of
humanity. The number is legion all
over the civilized world who believe
that it will be better for our sons and
daughters, and better for our country
if the ballot is extended to women.
Yes, personally wish to be one of
the voters OF the future.
This opinion seems to be almost
unanimous among women with whom
l have cOnversed, and | have taken
pains to meet many.
Very respectfully,
Mrs y. G.. HALE.

and he refused to run that locomo-
motive any longer and quit the road.
The locomotive was the 100.
"When Cad gave her up, she was
picced in charge Of Bill Lyman, Gad's
brother. There wasn't better cngi-
neer on the road than Bill, and he
knew that make of locomotive par
ticularly, for he had worked in the
shops and helped make 'cm. But
what did this rantankcrous locomo-
tive 100 do? She sulkcd with Bill
from the time he took her. Some
times she'd squirt little, but if she
did she made up for it tagging worse
than ever. Bill worked along with
her for nearly year, but she wouldn't
work under him at all. One day in
the spring of 1852 she baked for Ger
tain at Chester station, just as she
was pulling out with train. Bill
pounded her, for he was mad. but it
seemed as if.she actually shook h er
head like an ugly horse. Bill socked
it right on to her, and suddenly she
gave Il squirt ahead exactly like the
quick start OF n balky horse. Then
everything roared, and shook around
that place for a second or two. The
vicious old 100 had exploded her
boiler. She tore and riddled herself
frightfully, but the horror of it all was
that she had killed poor Bill Lyman
and his fireman. Cad Lyman lived
many years after that, but he always
regretted his abandoning of that To-
comotive, for he said that if he had
staid by her there was no doubt that
she would have ended her days use
fully and in peace and the awful
tragedy of her ending would not have

SOME NAVAL LESSONS.

Experts deduce from the naval fight
at Santiago several lessons.
The danger from fire was shown.
Wood used in the vessels should be
specially prepared; better, there should
be no woodwork.
Speed appeared as one of the chief
elements of success.
The value of rapid-fir re guns was
demonstrated, and the Importance of
the opening fire, intlicting severe dam
age OH the enemy and thus demoraliz-
ing him.
The Importance OF some better and
safer way of getting and transmitting
the ranges of the guns was made man.
ifest.
The advantage of smokeless powder
was clearly shown.
The Importance of the personnel
was, of course, a leading lesson.
The fact was clearly evidenced that
gun practice pays.
The resistance of thick armor was
illustrated,
The value of the battleship type of
vessel was proved; their power to keep
off torpedo boats and rapid-tire fusi-
ladies', and the confidence they inspire
in their crews.
Fire drill was proved valuable, and
the Importance of keeping watch for
fire in every department.
The coming tower seems to be of
little or no use.
A better system of getting messages
to and from the different parts OF the
ship is needed.
A knowledge of the nature of the
blasts from the different guns is de-
sirable.
Every man must be so trained in
his duties that he knows Just
what to do in case of accident, for
there is no time to summon help
The value of coflcrdams was con-
clusively shown.
One OF the great dangers was proved
to be splinters, wood and steel.
The value of torpedo boats was not
demonstrated. They only tried to es-
cape, not seriously to attack.
Previous experience in blockading
had shown that fleets are not very ef-
fective against land batteries. The
works were often silenced for time,
but were not seriously injured. High
land batteries are hard to hit, but their
aim, also, is poor;
The searchlight proved its value. A
careful watch and readiness to open
up fire are usually efficient safeguards
against the approach of torpedo boats.
There must be number of these
boats to have chance of success
against ship. Picket boats and
searchlights were effective against
escape from the harbor.
The value OF a secondary fleet of
dispatch boats is very great. A supply
fleet is indispensable-vessels with
coal and wood supplies, a repair ves-
sci, an ammunition supply ship, a
hospital ship.
All these details are valuable to the
naval man. They will aid him in his
future work. They tell him what he
will need to have ready all the time,
and how to prepare for his next fight
When fuller study Of the experience
of the last three months is made
other valuable lessons will he deduced.
