down the road, talking at the top of his

him were chattering and joking.

doing the talking was a 6-foot corporal
He carried two guns and two cartridge
belts loaded full, and the man to whom

was weighed down with his blanket and
haversack, but in his arms he carried a
dog, the mascot of his company.

Tuan. No small curiosity was felt in his
personality. but not much could be

He keeps his body in condition of per-

accounts for his influence. Beginning as

NEW SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
Mrs. Lille Devereux RIake to Or
ganize the National Legislative
Association.

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake is about
to organize second woman's suf-
frage association. She was the de-
feated candidate for the presidency
of the National Suffrage association
after the jabdication of Susan b.
Anthony. When Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait succeeded to that office Mrs.
Blake's friends openly threatened a
second organization. holding that she.
by reason of long service and zeal in
the cause. was logically entitled to
that honor. The new body of suf-
fragists will call themselves the Ma
tional Legislative association. and its
aim will be to carry on the yearly
campaign at the capitals, national
and state, which. in Mrs. Blake's be-
lief. is the sole hope of the suffrage
cause. A committee to reside in the
capital and to work in congressional
circles during the season will be one
of the strong points of the campaign
ing. 1t is denied that the Legislative
association is rival of Mrs. Cats

CHASTISES HEIR TO THRONE
Young Girls Father Prevents an
Embrace by Archduke Otto
of Austria,

The New York Journal correspond
ent at Buda-Pesth cables: Strange re-
ports are in circulation regarding
Archduke Otto, nephew of the en-
peror and next heir but one to the
Austro-Hungarian throne. Three
months ago the archduke was at
tending public ball at pleasure re-
sort in Vienna known as the Garten-
bau. He was attracted by the charms
of a girl there with her father and
mother. Later in the evening, when
he had freely imbibed. the archduke,
who was in civilian dress. approached
the young woman and attempted to
embrace her. Her father interviewed,
and dealt his imperial highness a
sounding box on the ears. A scene
ensued; the archduke was recognized
by many of those present. He was
anxious to chastise his assailant, but
was persuaded by an officer in at
tendance to leave the ball and go
home.
The emperor was extremely an
noyed when he heard of the occur
renee. His maiesty's annoyance was
increased by the discovery that his
nephew had contracted debts to the
amount of e250G01 (about 1925 .OC0) /.
Archduke Otto obtained leave Of alb
sence and went abroad until the af-
fair blew over. He will return to
Austria soon, but to Meran, instead of
to Vienna.
