SOME ONE

some one whose fauits you'd De blind 10, Some one :n trouble to fly to. Some one you'd love and not try to. Some one to struggle and strive for. Some one you're glad you're alive for, Some one you'd do any task for, Some one you'd give and not ask for, Some one to climb earth,s heights with, Some one you never would part with But dwell in the land of the heart with, That's love.
 U. M whitson. CLEVELAND ON wOMEN's VOTES. In an article in the Ladies Home himself as follows on the woman's suf- frage question:
 "A few years ago." he writes, "the question of allowing municipal suf- frage in Massachusetts to women was submitted to all the voters of that State who were eligible to vote for school committees. The number of wo- men at that time qualified to register and ballot on the question was about 575,000. Of these more than 550,000 de- clined to vote. There were forty-seven towns in which not one woman's ballot was cast in the affirmative.
 T think twenty-seven States which refuse to women all other suffrage privileges permit them to vote for school officers. either without restric- tion or under certain conditions. It is alleged. however, that the number who avail themselves of this privilege is commonly very small.
 Tt is sometimes claimed that woman suffrage would have the effect of ele- vating and refining politics. Neither its short trial in four States. containing in the aggregate population very slightly in excess of one-third the pop uiatio1 of the city, of New York, nor our political experience or observation supports this claim.
 The States in which full female suf- frage prevails are Colorado, Utah, Ida ho and Wyoming. In the first two of these States the proportion of female voters is considerably greater than ir the others, and yet the voters of Utah have lately elected through their Leg islature to the United States Senate a man whose fitness is now the subject of a pending senatorial investigation, and not long ago they elected to Con- gress another man whom that body rejected
 "of the four States permitting full woman suffrage, Colorado should cer- tainly be regarded as affording the best illustra ton of its results.
 Less than two years ago member of the House of Representatives from that State, holding his place by virtue ef an apparent majority of the direct votes of the men and women of his dis trict, resigned his seat fer the reason, as he openly declared, that fraudulent votes had been cast for him in the eIec- tion. An investigation of the case by congressional committee developed the fact that some of the most glarins frauds were committed by women.
 T have sometimes wondered if the really good women who are inclined to approve this doctrine of female suffrage are not 6eluding themselves with purely sentimental views of the subject"

CURES FOR TIGHT DOORS.

and sayi that the drawers of dressers and other furniture stick fast and can- not be opened or shut without great difficulty" said the complaint man" in a downtown furniture store. This is a trouble with much furniture, es- pecially that which Is new.
 What do we do in such cases? We simply tell the customers to wet the surface of bar of common laun- dry soap and rub 1t firmly over the parts of the wood that stick. This makes the surface smooth and slip pery, and in nearly all cases the draw CT will slide easily, especially after 1t has been opened and shut few times.
 This also Is valuable with doors which, in few flats, are likely to settle, or are apt to scrape at the ton as the building settles"

SPEAKING CARDS.

"
 The new speaking cards that are being introduced in Paris" says an ex- change, are postal cards coated on one side with wax-like material and called 'sonorine.' When as card is placed in the phono- postal, which is a simple little phonograph. a spoken message or a song delivered before the diaphragm is recorded by sap phire- pointed stylus in the sonorine in a diminishing spiral forming a circle about as large as a small coin, The records are deeply impressed and not easily injured. About seventy-five or eighty words may be sent, and these cards offer such advantages as con- veying actual sounds of the voice, be- ing easily used at any stopping place, and inspring comparative secrecy, as the message can only be read when placed in the reproducing apparatus"

good piano playing issuing from an ad- joining sitting room.
 He went to the door and saw rag ged. disreputable- looking fellow seated before the piano and playing Handel'a Messiah" with remarkable skill A number of other pieces followed in a
 low key, the nearer standing at the door, charmed and mystifled by the talent of the mysterious performer.
 Suddenly the man broke off with a shrill discord. and throwing himself across the piano burst into bitter tears. When the owner entered the room the musician started up in alarm and at- tempted to escape.
 He finally confessed that music had been his profession. but that, led away by bad company. he had eventually turned to burglary.
 He had only lately come out of pris- on, and had broken into the house in order to steal. When he saw the piano, however. his old love came back. and he had begun to play, unconscious of his surroundings.

 MRS. PALMER AND THE KING.
 A speciak cable dispatch to The World. dated London, September 23, says: Mrs. Potter Palmer is the hero inc of a story from Marienbad. which is retailed with undisguised gusto by her social rivals because they believe that as far as King Edward is con cerned she has quite ceased to exist. One afternoon. when his majesty met her in the gardens, being in a jovial mood, he reproved her for driving her motor car too fast. Mrs. Potter Palmer retorted with unaffected frankness: Well. certainly, you can not talk. for you yourself drove so furiously when you went to Carlsbad the other day that you knocked over a man, and if you had ynot been King of England you would have been taken into cus- tody." King Edward never forgyies what he considers liberty, and he froze instantly. The story soon came to be related with manyi embellish- ments among his set at Marienbad, and is now being repeated here. Mrs. Pot ter Palmer's utter indifference to the consequences of her supposed break her friends can not understand. She is reported as saying to one good na- tured friend. who asked her about the accident: What was wrong? re- spected King Edwards incognito. and treated him as any other gentleman who chaffed me about speeding too fast in my motor"
