Boy Nearly Hangs His Brother

Frank Korth's two little boys were playing at hanging yesterday after noon in the house and one of them was suspended by leather string around his neck. The other boy was unable to cut the little fellow down but Mrs. North, who was in an adjoining room, surmised from the noises she heard that something was wrong and entered just in time to rescue the victim of the hanging. He was almost strangled and the cord left deep red mark on his neck.

to the sheltering fold of the old home,
to join in the festivities and feast on
the fatted calf. Today the home circle
was complete and nine stalwart sons
and daughters answered to the family
roll call. This is the first reunion of
the family held in thirty years. What
is remarkable is the fact that in this
large family of nine children all grown
to adult manhood and womanhood,
there has never been a vacant chair
and among more than thirty grand
children and great-grandchildren there
has been but one death.

Chance to Save.
The conference of the interparlia-
mentary union, after prolonged de-
bate July Is, adopted the following
resolution:
The interparliamentary union, now

view that the second Hague confer

nitions of war and explosives.
"Second-Reassert and confirm the
principle that neither ship carrying
contraband of war nor other goods
aboard such ship not being contra

"Third-Affirm that even belliger-
ents' private property should be as
immune at sea as it is on land"
The conference also adopted reso-
luton in favor of the discussion by The
Hague conference of means to cut
down the ''intolerable expenditure of
ornaments"
Another resolution provides that
each national group shall apply to it's
own government to grant funds to aid
future conferences of the interparlia-
mentary union.
The decision as to the time and place
of the next conference was left in the
hands of the international council. 1t

FREMONT WOMAN SEEKS TO END

At Fremont, Neb., Mrs. Irving Pol

stood over it while she drew the sharp
blade of the instrument across her

house from the barn, where he had
gone to feed a COW. He found his
wife unconscious on the floor. Phys
icians and neighbors were summoned
and the woman's wound was dressed.
1 was found that the windpipe of
che throat was entirely severed, but
the jugular vein was not touched. It
is believed she will recover, though
her condition is serious.
Mrs. Pollock has been respondent
and at times hysterical since the birth
of her child two months ago. While
Conductor Pollock was away on his
run she left the house and was gone
an hour. A searching party found her
near the railroad track, where it was
believed she intended to throw herself
under a train.

The "Silence Cure"

Some noble and deep thinking ply

absolute silence. Husbands who have
been able to try this cure report great
benefit. but. of course, it is very hard

Our native chivalry would cause us
to refuse to take advantage of it. We

FeminisIn in France.

The prediction of the countess of
Aberdeen made at the International
Council of Women in Paris, that the
French woman will be the first to
obtain the vote upon any large scale
may we'll have caused surprise Along
the British, German and American
delegates. American writer's upon
"the woman question" have often
fallen back upon two absurdities: the
first. that Tacitus described the Ger
mans whom the Romans fought as
paying special Difference to their
women; the second, that 1.-The French
have no word for home.' Add to this
the misapprehensions of five-weeks'
sripper seeing Paris by night" and
hasty observation on the Salic law
and you have the genesis Of an i'm
preston of the position of women In
France which is as prevalent as it is
preposterous. The fact is that Ia
citus' observations would have ap-
piled quite as well to the Franks as
to other early northern tribes; that
the French get along very well with
the word home" SO long as they have
the thing; that French family life is
at its best of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking so long to the
Salic law was one of the blunders of
the Bourbons which does not in any
case affect opinion of the republic.
Since the revolution in France many
things have changed. For one thing,
the waste of men in war has famil-
iarized women with varied industry
and with the management of estates
and business establishments as in
perhaps no other country. The
French family council system re-
spect of her grown son, but even a
considerable measure of legal control
over him long after English and
American law would emancipate him.
He canont even marry without his
parents consent. In hundred ways,
says the New York World, France is
the country of the married woman.
That young girls are still carefully
watched and secluded is of minor i'm
portance. The system works not bad
ly. There may even be lands where
daughters have too much freedom and
power for their own good and where
mothers are too meek. The growth
of 'feminisme" in France of recent
years has been rapid. 1t compelled
the institution of a divorce law.
Woman suffrage is a cardinal tenet
in socialism, which has nowhere more
power in actual government than it
has attained in France. In Russia.
which is largely dominated by French
thought, the douma has declared for
the womans vote. American woman
suffragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques-
ton whether to work with the public
in the several states or to appeal di-
rect to congress. The French fem
mist adopts the latter course with
out hesitation. According to the
countess of Aberdeen, she has com.
menced by trying to convince the leg
islator instead of the public. 1t is a
method well adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had a
fascination for public men.

letter written by Mr.. Bryan to Alex

cd of securing funds for the reception.
Mr.. Bryan wrote in part as follows:
There will be some expense, and
the committee must see to it that no
money is accepted from questionable
sources; in fact, I think it would be
well to announce that the expense
would be borne by popular subscrip-
ton, dollar subscriptions being pre-
ferable, but that larger subscriptions
would be received up to $50, none be-
ing received over that Also announce
that subscriptions of IS or more than
IS would be entered into a book and
the names given to any one desiring
them. Subscriptions of less than So
would not be made known without con-
sent of the subscriber.
Say that the reception will be made
as inexpensive as possible, and that
any surplus over and above the ex-
penses of the reception will be used to
print and circulate speeches delivered
at the reception.
81 think the publication of the sub
scriptions is an important thing. The
republicans have failed to pass any
effective law in regard to campaign
contributions and this will be a good
rebuke to them and will foreshadow
the adoption of such policy by our
next campaign committee.
