The emancipation Of woman is COM
plete. There Is NO need of waiting for
The Prize Win any returns from
the back counties
nor or None No edict from a
woman's club is needed to settle it; no
pronunciamento from mothers con-
gFess or suffrage association can make
woman's independence of man more
certain or secure. Miss Rose Ray, OF
Parkersburg, w. Va, pretty girl OF
is, has settled the question. Listen TO
these brave words from pretty Rose
Ray: 81 have a little chicken farm at
my home and can make fine living
from my flock. The man / marry must
think as much as do of fine poultry
and 1 will wait till / can find man
who has finer chickens than mine"
Bravely spoken, Rose Ray. The man
who doesn't know how to breed better
bun cochins and leghorns than you is
not worthy Of your hand. A man who
can't raise chickens is hardly the man
TO be intrusted with the responsibility
Of raising a family or providing for a
wife. II seems, according to the Chi
cago Record-Herald, that Miss Ray Of
fered to marry the man who won the
most prizes at the state poultry show.
The largest number of prizes was car
ried off by frmAof poultry breeders,
the members of which were already
married. IL was suggested that she
should marry the next best winner or
make a choice from among the farmer
boys who had tried to capture prizes.
She vigorously demurred. The TWEEN
tieth century girl will have the prize
winner or none. Miss Ray will go back
to her fine blooded plymouth rocks
and wait for the next state poultry
show.

Poster collecting, according to the
newsdealers, has died out almost com
The Poster Croxe pletely in the last
year or two. Four
or five years ago,
when the fad was at its height, num-
Der of worthless magazines were start
ed on the strength of the posters which
were made to advertise them. Several
OF the magazines have survived, and so
have some OF their posters. The most
voracious of the poster collectors were
college students, many of whom plas-
tered not only the walls but the cell
ings of their rooms with gaudy, staring
Beardesleyesque prints. Now even in
the college rooms the fad has lost ia
vor. Posters as a rule, however, are
made better now than they were, not
only in plan, but in execution. The
newsdealsrs bless the lapse of the
craze because they can now keep at
tractive posters in their windows.

The words "hss introduced bill in
congress" applied to a senator or rep
resentativs, usually sounds much
larger than their ordinary meaning
warrants. In order properly to esti-
mate the value Of the introduction of
a bill one must remember that of H.
900 or $4,000 measures introduced few
hundred only are passed. AS for pro-
posed amendments TO the constitution,
the infant mortality among them is
appalling. Each year congress sees
score or more of proposals for six
teenth amendment to the oonstitu-
ton" We shall doubtless some time
have such a thing; yet three amend
ments, all of which were consequences
OF great civil war, represent the only
changes made in the constitution since
the presidency of Thomas Jefferson.

The congressional committee on re-
vision of the laws has decided that the
United States SIS" not "are," and the
singular form will be used in the new
edition of the federal statutes soon to
be published. This grammatical de-
cision but records the usage of the
best speakers and writers of English
to-day and recognizes an accomplished
historic fact. Are" says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, will remain in the consti-
tuition as an interesting memorial of
antiquity, but hereafter will always be

ginning by all Americans who truly

proceedings, is at the Jufferson.
Counsel for Col. Slemp fled two pc

leging fraud i'm Russell and Washing
ton counties, and asking that the pre-
cincts thrown out be counted. Judge
Rhea made no defense.
The petition asks that the board be
compelled TO recount the returns from
all the precincts i'm Russell county for
the election of November for con-
gresham from that district.
The petition alleges that the original
returns, giving Judge Rhea l ,2l2 votes
and Colonel Slemp $40 votes is incor-
rect and not true return, because of
the commissioners refusing TO count
the returns fromCarterton, Banners.

eges that the returns for Mendoza pre-
cinct were illegally thrown out, depriv
ing him of 227 votes, whereas i'm the
whole county, exclusive Of Mendoza.

support this contention.
Other petitions covering other coun-
ties were submitted merely as excep-
tons to the answers of the defendants.
Scott county is particularly involved,
and statements in point blank opposi-
ton are freely made.
On the face of the returns Judge
Rhea stands elected by majority OF
% votes, and his opponent claims that
if the ten thrown out precincts arc
counted will be changed to majority
Of 371 for Col. Slemp.
The courts decision will be mad,

80 YEARS FOR
WIN. GARRISON
A Jury Would have Hung
Him Says Judge.

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 15.-In the
Hastings Court this morning, in fifteen
minutes, William Garrison, charged
with attempting 20 assault two little
girls and attempted murder, was sen
fenced 20 thirty-two years in the pen
itentiary; fifteen years each for the at
tempted assaults and two years for the
last charge
He asked for a trial without jury and
pleaded guilty.
Judge Woods in sentencing him said
that jury would hang him. Garrison

Judge told him that he could have a
jury but he accepted the sentence.
