A Dangerous Nose.

An eN.Congressmun tells story In

The passengers were ranged In II row
outside with their hands up. an atti.
tude which was enforced by gun In
the hands of one of the brigands, while
the ether went rapidly through the va
rious pockets.
In the midst of this ceremony the ex-
Congressman's nose began to itch with
that maddening persistency calculated
to drive the owner to insanity IL not
relieved. 1nvoluntariiy his right hand
began to lower itself to the seat of
trouble.
Hands up. there" called the man
behind the gun.
His hand shot back into place, but
in a moment began to lower itself
again.

"My nose itches so I can't stand II
any longer" was the response. I've
simply got to scratch It,"

"because I'll do 1t for you"
Thereupon he proceeded to scratch
the congressional nose with the muzzle

the thief might escape capital punish.

Decorated by the Car.

Mrs. George King, an English wo-
man, has recently been decorated by
the Gar with the Russian Red Cross,
in appreciation of her splendid ser
vices as a nurse during the Russo
Turkish war of 1878. This was
her first work as an army nurse, for
which she gave up an excellent social
position as the wife of a prominent
London magazine publisher. On her
return from the Turkish field Of &C
ton, she spent some time as superin-
tendent of hospital at Newcastle-on-
theTyne, and later saw service as a
nurse in the Zulu war, for which she
was rewarded by the late Queen Vic
toria with the South African medal
and the decoration of the Royal Red
Cross. This is a striking evidence OF
the slowness and red tape of Russian
government, even in the matter OF
comforting medals.

Or do you say that there is no life

the other hand, you believe in immor-

not your logic, in either case, fail.
1t is right and wholesome and SEN

Men Never Worked for Equal Suffrage
Are the men who are interested in
suffrage to-day to be compared to
those arti-slavery men who looked for
it?"
ooh, they never really worked for
1t. They believed in it abstractly, but
there was always something else to be
done first"
Doesn't it seem strange that we
haven't more influence with our hus-
bands, fathers and sons in getting
suffrage--they are so willing to give
us everything else?"
Eyes, that is just the point. They

though he drinks, smokes and swears,

or two of his kind, drinks little with
them perhaps, talks over the political
situation after his light, and now and
then votes as he is hidden"
But don't you see that even then
he comes into more direct relations
with life?" she insisted. "The labor
and wage question, the tariff, the
character of the man who is boss, the
liquor laws, all these vital things are
talked over and reasoned about by the
handful of diggers."
Then you don't think that wo-
mans contact with the grocer, the
butcher, the baker, the candlestick-
maker, the food question, the money
problem, the tariff as it affects the
family purse, and our church and
charitable connection is real life?"
ooh, yes, but how can women help
or hinder social conditions that they
don't like, and that they know are
wrong?
Club Women and Suffrage
Here are the federated club wo-
men, most of whom believe in suf-
frage. Why? They find out, for in
stance, that they want to modify or
amend the laws regulating child labor,
or some other evil. What can thew
do! Either wait years for changed
opinion, or go to the law makers, be
treated politely and laid on the shelf.
They cannot vote, and more than all,
they have no constituents. That's a
word our grandmothers didn't have in
their lexicons. Their interests were
in their homes and church, and what
people called society. But as the in
terests of women broaden, and they
go into business, manage their own
property and study civic questions,
they find that they have special inter
ests to protect and special wrongs to
remedy.
Then they realize the disadvan-
tage Of having no political influence.
They discover to their surprise that
politics concerns them. Do you know
that since the Federation Of Clubs
was organized in 1890 it has applied
to more legislatures to secure the
passage of bills than has the Suffrage

Joyed such vogue last summer, will
now ind an excuse for taking I'D their
discarded looms. The rage for any

beadwork, following conventionalized
Japanese patterns. These cannot be
bought at shops as yet, though doubt
less the patterns will soon be on the

for colors can evolve her own pat

borders or panels.
Cherry blossoms, pride of Japan,
