A reader of the Rams Horn writes as
follows: I'm your humor column 1 find
an item on the difference between a
Methodist and a Presbyterian, that
brought to my memory another one
heard, ON how to know Presbyterian
from Methodist: The Presbyterian
always tells how he is licked by the
devil, while the Methodist always boasts
how he licked the devil"

Tacoma Woman Thought She Was
Marrying Rich Man.

SEATTLE, Dec. 9.-Because her
husband borrowed IS from her on her
wedding day with which to purchase
a marriage license, besides sufficient
money with which to provide food for
six days, and then deserted her, Clara
R. Conwell has brought suit in the SUI
perior court to obtain a decree of
divorce. When she married Charles
A. Conwell on the night of June she
believed in his representation that he
was lawyer who owned large tim
Der interests that occupied much of
his time. Convinced that she was to
become the wife Of a man of wealth
she came from Tacoma to Seattle to
marry him so as not to take him away
from his business interests.
When she arrived at Seattle her hus-
band borrowed IS Of her to secure a
license from the county auditor. She
suspected nothing and believed him
when he said that he was so busy
he did not have time to draw any
money from the bank. After the mar
riage they engaged housekeeping rooms
and she loaned the husband money to
buy a weeks supply Of food. At the

Business Increasing All Along the

In Wala Walla.

Owing TO the rapid increase IN us
business the Northwestern Gas ana
Electric company will soon be COM
naIJed TO rehabil'tate the old Mill creek
plant, four miles above the city or else
make arrangements to use the aodl-
tional power now going to waste at the
Walla Walla river plant. The COM
pany in Walla Walla has been aver
aging four new services day for the
mast four months and the Pendleton
plant has been averaging almost as
much. The company is disposing OF
practically $500 horse power day in
Walla .Walla, Pendleton, Weston and
Athena, all of which is furnished by
the Walla Walla river plant.
May Clash With City.
The starting up of the Mill creek
plant may prove a serious obstacle to
the city in installing the proposed
gravity water system using Mill creek
as a source of supply. The Mill creek
plant depends entirely on the stream
for power, which would be greatly dl-
unfinished if the city takes it's full
supply from the creek as now proposed
in the ordinance under consideration.
The Mill creek plant has lain idle ever
since the Walla Walla river plant
was put in operation although the ma
chinery has never been removed. Inc
plant is capable of generating 500
horsepower.

LOOK FOR REFORMS.
University Of Chicago Senate Says /;
Change In Football is Desirable.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9-"Far-reaching
and permanent reforms are needed in
intercollegiate football, according to
sentiment expressed by the members
Of the senate of the University of Chi
cago, which is the ruling academic
body, in a meeting yesterday after
noon. Immediate steps in furthering
these reforms were advised by the SEN
ate, and committee was appointed
by President Harper to consider the
subject and to report recommends
tons at an early date.
Brutality and roughness in football
were emphasized in the discussion at
the meeting, but were not given so
much consideration as the moral evils
of the game. 1t was agreed that these
evils have far outgrown the vigilance
Of faculties in foreseeing dangers and
in providing remedies The situation
in general, it was declared, should be
treated as an academic problem of
grave Importance"
Professor Stagg is a member Of the
football rules committee and it is prob
able that he will endeavor to bring be-
fore the other members Of the rules
committee the changes suggested OF
recommended by the comittee appoint
ed by President Harper.

RACE SUICIDE.
Ohio Woman Declares Clubs Are the
Cause of Lower Birth Rate.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Olga Louise Cod
iiah has published in Columbus, Ohio,
a pamphlet on race suicide. 1t is
called Turn on the Light and 1t
blames members of wOmen's clubs for
stunning maternity.
After the Onioan has turned her lu-
minary upon the club women and her
she focuses it upon the society woman
and modern society generally
She pictures the ambitious mother
dragging her youthful daughter into
the marriage mart of modern Babylon
and selling ner to the highest bidder
She pictures the social leader lounging
near punch bowls and flirting with the
husbands of other women. She exc
crates the college sorority, which she
she charges with setting up false idols
and bidding the unsophisticated young
girl to worship them.
She calls upon the clergy to rise up
to save America from the fate of Rome
and bids them look to bigger things
than squabbling about the faint of
money given in a worthy cause.
First, the Women's Club.
The author first turns her light on
the women's club. She begins:
THE increased membership of wom-
ems clubs during the last six years
mas had the effect of decreasing the
white birth rate, especially in cities
having a population exceeding $4,000.
This, 1 assert boldly and without fear
of successful contradiction. A woman
actively engaged in club work feels
that she cannot afford to become a
mother. Such a condition would de-
prive her of the pleasures of women's
clubs, and greatly interfere with ner
interest in them during the first five
years of the child's life or until it was
old enough to be committed to the care
of public school teachers.
Quotes Statistics.
AS one evidence of the fact that
race suicide is prevalent among the
members of womens clubs careful
study of this membership develops the
following:
THE average number of children tc
married members of the general Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs is two. The
II;
ed the mothers of these same womer
was three and one-half. When tina
average existed there were no such or.
CARNATIONS as women's clubs.
Even among the members of tn
Mothers congress there is scarcit,

bership have no children at ALL
The average age of the member
ship of the women's clubs in tn
country is 80 years. The average ag
of the youngest children Of the mar
ried members is II years. A careful
investigation Of the membership o,
women's clubs shows that only on
married woman in sixteen becomes
mother after she has allied hefsel
with women's clubs; that only one 1,

VICTIM OF JEALOUS SPITE.
Accused of Taking Brooch at Bazaar in
Charge Against Baroness.

LONDON, Dec 9.-Caxton Hall was
the scene of an interesting social
event Wednesday when the Princess
I.oWenstein Wortheim opened the an
duchess of Newcastle had two stalls
and a lot of pretty helpers and the
most youthful member of the peerage,
the infant Marquis of Donegal, was
there in white hat and pelisse, grasp
ing a woolly dog closely to his heart.
The presidents of the stalls included
the Countess of Oxford, Lady Ada
Fitzwilliam, the Countess of Seaford,
the dowager Countess of Portsmouth,
Lady Windsor and Lady Paget.
A strange case, the first scene of
which took place in the Lovers bazaar
and in which a baroness and famous
court pianist were involved, quite out
did the bazaar in social interest and
subject for talk It was heard in tn
Westminster police court the day af-
ter the bazaar opened. Baroness Ca
mile Won Perglass and Mrs. Eliza
Colenutt, who are neignbors in the
Queens road, ST. Johns Wood, were
charged with stealing and receiving a
trumpery six-penny brooch on sale at
bazaar.
As Seen by Detective.
The story as told by Detective Ber-
rett, who was on duty at the bazaar
on Tuesday evening, was that in con-
sequence of statement made to him.
observation was kept on the baroness,
who was helping at the Oriental stall
The baroness, who was recognized as
helper, was wearing a badge and
went around the bazarr offering small
articles for sale from a tray. In the
corner of the room she met Mrs. Cole
mutt and handed her a small brooch
from the tray. Mrs. Colenutt neld the
brooch by her side without looking at
it and pocketed it without making any
payment The two women then walked
towards the Oriental stall and the
baroness was called into an office by
the detective, who asked Mrs. Cole
mutt why she had received the brooch
without payment. She answered: Il
did receive it, She gave it to me, but
don't know why
What the Baroness Said.
When the women were confronted in
the office the baroness saiu: ct is all
right 1 gave it to you like I nave
given other things and I should have
paid for it and accounted for it in the
regular way"
Before Horace Smith, the magistrate,
Mr.. Conway, counsel for the baroness,
said "The whole thing mas been a
conspiracy engineered by a jealous
back biting woman, who does not
come here to support the assertion she
made I will mention the name of the
| lady-Mme. Janotha.'
The charge against the baroness was
dismissed.
