Chamois at Play.

4 tourist claims that one summer
day while in the Alps lie noticed a
flock of chamois climbing up to where
the snow never melts. Their move
ments were so peculiar that he watched
them carefully. They had found
steep, snow covered incline. to the
upper end of which they went in q
body, just like q party of boys bent on
coasting.
And that is precisely what the
chamois intended, for two or three Of
them at time would crouch down at
the beginning of the descent, work all
four legs to get start and slide over
the surface Of the snow to the bottom.
When they reached the bottom, they
would rise, shake themselves and climb
up the incline again, only to repeat
their trip down. This they did time
and again, their comrades at the upper
end watching them with great interest
until it came their turn to coast.
The coasting ground was about $50
yards from top to bottom, and the
chamois would shoot down it with the
speed of sleds, the snow rising about
them in powdery cloud.
There could be 10 doubt whatever
that they did it for sport. and they
seemed to enjoy it as much as boys
enjoy coasting down a well packed hill.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


The selection, eminently fitting, of
Miss Kate Gordon as secretary of the
National american Woman Suffrage
association recalls the public services
she and some brave comrades rendered
to their home city, New Orleans. The
old Creole City was founded in 1717.
1t changed hands from French to Span
ish and from Spanish back to French
again, and, whichever race had it, the
sanitation seemed little worse than
it was under the preceding rule. The
lack of drainage and sewerage contin-
ued even after the city became part Of
the United States under the Louisiana
purchase.
Louisiana, however, some years ago
took step forward. That was the
passing of a law permitting women
property owners to vote on all PROPOSE
tions to raise public revenues by levy
ing tax on real estate. This law was
the redemption of New Orleans and
the means of making it beautiful,

An Atchison druggist tells this story
and declares that 1t is true: He had

his wife was worried and insisted on
sending for doctor. When the doc

well drained and severed modern city.
The women did it, and their head and
leader was a lovely, eloquent and ac-
complished young lady, Kate Gordon,
who is now the secretary Of the N. A.
w. S. A.
Miss Gordon's father and mother
were both equal suffrage advocates
and believed that a woman's home in
terests included also the sanitation,
morality and good government of the
city in which she lived. Miss Kate in
herited these public spirited ideas as

The fight that meant, if successful,
the cleaning up and rendering health
full of the whole ancient city was a
great fight. The party Of progress was
headed by the mayor Of New Orleans,
Mr.. Flower. 1t was desperately op-
posed by a large number of persons.
Perhaps they thought they would take
cold if their city got a housecleaning.
1t was odd, too, but the very hunkers
who opposed the tax levy for sewering
the city were the same hunkers that
had opposed the women property own
ers' voting law. Conservative in one
thing, conservative in all things, the
case seemed hopeless, for the levy
could not be carried without the ballot
of the women and they-well. the very
thought of voting was a specter Of hor
rOr to them.
Then it was that Kate Gordon,
shining young st. George on the wo-
mans side, entered the lists against
the great dragon, Old Fogy. She her
self called mass meeting Of citizens
men who were citizens and women
who We're half citizens. Mayor Flower
presided, and some of the most inf1u-
entail gentlemen of Louisiana were
upon the platform to encourage by
their presence the girl speaker. She
made an address which is talked of to
this day in New Orleans, an address
ringing, powerful. She said:
81 am going from house to house.
1 shall hold parlor meetings in every
home that is opened to me to urge
women to vote in favor of this tax.
shall tell them that the health-yea, the
lives-of their children and families de-
pends on the proper sanitation of the
CITY,"
Mrs. Waring, wife Of the lamented
sanitary writer and worker, George
e. Waring of New York, sat on the
platform too She had never made q
speech in her life, but, moved by the
eloquence of Miss Gordon that night,
she rose to her feet and spoke strong
words for the good cause.
Kate Gordon was as good as her
word. She went from house to house
arguing, instructing, urging with all a
girls enthusiasm the necessity of at
Lost putting New Orleans on level
with civilized cities elsewhere. Today
she gave an grafton In the splen-
cid mansion of a new rich with

over to her side. There are $4,000

PUSHING FORWARD.

zhere is always way to rise, my boy,
Always a way to advance;
Yet the road that leads to Mount Success
Does not pass by the way Of Chance,
But goes through the stations Of Work and Strive
Through the valley Of Persevere,
And the man that succeeds, while others fail,
Must be willing to pay most dear.
For there's always way to fail, my boy,
Always way to slide,
And the men you find at the foot of the hill
All sought for an easy ride
So on and up, though the road be rough
And the storms come thick and fast;
There is room at the top for the man who tries,
And victory comes at last
