E~~ DIDN'T vote myself" admitted
iHM EE| Miss Larson; mot but what
lH f&sI amt full old 'nough, S any one
lH& can see; but 1 was over at Mrs.
Jonses on lection day, an she
has me faculty Of fn'in' occupation for
every minute Of the day for everybody
but herself. Some folks have gif' that
way, an I don't know but what it's more
tryin' n laztness.
"You min little Tommy Jones began
school in September? Mrs Jones takes
considerable int'res' in school now an
visits oftener n the teacher likes to have
her, though she don't say anythin. Mrs.
Jones thought she ought to vote tor the
school board but Mr.. Jones didn't gree
with her. She's a timid woman, but she
don't finch from her Obligations, an says
she to me, says she: I've duty to Tom
my 8 we'll S to Mr.. Jones'
KNOWN how he felt, she wouldn't asst
him him how to vote, but she went out
to the kitchen n talked to the grocer's
boy. Grocers' boys carry more n gro
ceries from house to house, an If women
ever have full votin' power, it'll pay can
didates to stan in with 'em an with the
milkmen an the iceman. The milkman
said when he came t he'd given help to
half a dozen women, but l heard mex
day It he'd sent 'em all to the wrong
places an they were too discouraged to
hunt up the right ones.
Mrs. Jones was 'fraid to go alone, an
had to stop polishin the silver to go
with her. We stopped to get more COM
pany, but Mrs. Small was cleanin' house
an Mrs. James had a dressmaker an
Mrs. Steele was goin' down town to get
a bargain in silks she'd seen advertised.
It was mos noon when we got to the
votin' place, though it's only two blocks
from Jonses, an there, was only one other
voter there.
at was Mr.. Jameson. an you know
how absen' minded he is. The man benin
the counter said he came early in the
mornin' an asst 'em to SEN out half a
dollars worth Of sugar an a sack Of flour.
The man said he said to him, said he:
We're all out of sugar an flour this morn
ing but can let you have your choice OF
govnors or SEN tors or even mayors
Mr.. Jamiesons that absen' minded he
don't know his own family when he meets
'em down street. Many's the time that
Mrs. Jamiesons gone up to him an said,
Good mornin', Mr.. Jameson, an how's
Mrs. JAMESON this morning" And he'd
say, Very well, thank you,' 'thout ever
KNOWN it was Mrs. Jameson herself, ask
in.
HE seemed to be some worried, an he
held a ticket all crumpled up in his han.
Seems, stead of votin' the republican or
the democratic or even the populis' ticket
he'd voted two checks his wife had given
him to deposit for her. She's treasurer
Of her club, an she oughter have known
bettern to give him anythin of value to
look after. But 'sperience won't teach
some women any more'n time, seems if.

for. The man toll me that a woman takes

A new association has recently been
organized in Duluth and Miss Meredith
will leave shortly to spend some time In
that city. looking after the numberless
duties which beset a new society. The
Duluth association has no city secretary
and the work is done by the members.
The work Of a state secretary in Min
nesota is largely in the colleges, as there
are no city associations outside of st.
five colleges represented, the university,
Hamline, Carleton, Manchester and st.
Paul Park. Miss Meredith will visit each
Of them and suggest new plans or COM
mend old ones and keep In close touch
with each association during the year.
Her college training has specially pre-
pared her for work with college girls and
her enthusiasm and interest in the Y. w.
G. A. will have far-reaching influence.

completed the course Of study in the ex-
cellent boarding school that has trained so
many fine native workers. They came to
America especially for training in mathe-
MATES and sciences and will be teachers.
They have spent four years in America
and Mabel is booked to sail for China on
Dec. IA. At the closing exercises Of the
executive meeting she testified to the
great good her American training had
been and she goes back to China eagerly.
In the party with which she will sail are
three other missionaries sent out by the
Des Moines branch, to which Miss Sla
belongs; they are Misses Perkins,, Beard
and Stumpf. Both girls belong to the
third generation Of Chinese Christians, the
father Of one being a presiding elder and
of the other a doctor. Their uncle STA

During the meeting Of the general ex-
ecutive committee of the Woman's For
eign Missionary society Of the Methodist
church, held in Minneapolis the past ten
days. the three young Chinese students
were constantly the center Of interest.
Their refined, Intelligent faces and charm

saw them, and an acquaintance deepened
the favorable impression made by these
girls. who had come so far away from
home to secure a training that will enable
them to do more effective missionary
work for their people on their return.

have been educated in America is small,
