Madcmoiselle had dismounted and
with her face averted and her mask

and peculiar smile. Acknowledge

THAT gentleman" he answered,
hesitating, and looking at me doubt
fully. Have you considered what
will happen to him, If you give him
up to the authorities?"
"Who is he?" I said sharply.
THAT is rather delicate question"
he answered, frowning, and still look

"Not from me-" replied brutally,
"since he is in my power. If he will

We once knew of a man who made
good money by buying rundown
farms and restoring their fertility and
then reselling them at very substan-

will tend to this matter for himself.

The west is enjoying rather re-
markable winter, more open and mild
in type than any which has visited
that section since 1856. Stock has had
the run Of the fields up to February,
and hardly any draft has been made
upon forage supplies, the blue grass
pastures seeming to afford an album
dance of palatable food.

One corn raiser and very success
full one tells us that he can add ten
bushels per acre to his yield of corn
by simply giving the field q thorough
hand hoeing after the corn is laid by in
July and cutting out all the barren
stalks. If this is true it is something
worth knowing, as the extra yield Of
corn would more than pay for the work.

Some attention is being paid by west
ern farmers to the low priced farms Of
the cast. The western farmer should
approach this subject with much eau
ton, for OH many Of these farms the
soil is gone beyond redemption, so erod-
cd. SO burned out with commercial fer
tilizers, that there is nothing to work
on. The Improvements, the markets,
the transportation facilities, the water
supply may all be of the highest order,
but if the soil is dead these things are
dear at any price.

The common striped gopher is not al

1t is noticeable fact that as the

A reader in Michigan wishes to know
how to prepare piece Of land for on
ions. This work should be done the
year before the crop is raised. a good
way is to plow under a good heavy
crop of clover or cowpeas along in July
or August. This forms good founda-
ton for either potatoes or onions for
the next year.

One of the most successful methods Of
Kidding place of rats is to shoot them
with small rife. If fed a little they
will come out Of their holes in the even

shooting of them is considered pretty
fine sport by the boys. We once rid our
place of them entirely by this method
when cats and traps had utterly failed

We overheard recently some ladies'
talking about the woman who did their
washing They admitted that the work
was we'll done, the clothes returned i'm
maculately clean and white. At the
same time they made slurring COM
ment upon the social position which
this womanoccupied. Why should they
do this? What is there unladylike con-
nected with the woman and the wash
tub7 Doing this work for others. why
should it place social ban upon her?
In the cities a young man whose bust
ness it is to sort out the dirty duds
which come to public laundry and
do up and deliver ths Numbered
goods can move in the pest society.
The more civilized we become the more
dirty work there is to DIP, the more
clean clothes are needed, and 1t serves
women just right If by foPlishly plac-

who do this dirty work they often find

1t is probably true that quack grass
is the worst seed of all that western
farmers have to contend with, the hard
est to get rid of when once it gets a
foothoid. And the worst of the case is
that thousands of farmers are letting
this pest gain Judgment on their
farms and either do not know what it
means or else do not care.

country trade to work OFF his odds and

cause the mail order houses are get

when, because Of remotely located trad

Whether man likes to do it or not,
the time has come when in the conduct
Of his farm he is simply compelled to
closely study in every way possible
how to make machine take the place
and do the work Of man. In fact,
successful farming is becoming more
and more matter of the sensible han
ding Of machinery. The most expen-
sive machine on any farm and the one
most difficult to handle is the hired
man. He is the oftenest out Of repair
and needs the most careful attention.

Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwfuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, InfantlIe &c.
zema- Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Oursbaby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Mazon, ILL.,, to druggist and got
q full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always bee2 our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that We
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that / ever beheld,
prior to the treatment of the Cuticurs

been an argument against all mems
voting. That the more thoughtful
and conscientious women to do vote
has been the experience of all equal
suffrage states: they study civics and
all questions at issue, too, and COM
pei more thoughtful vote from the
men.
The granting of the ballot to women
has not disturbed the peace OF the
home, but has rather brought about
more harmonious relations in the
family.
The woman is the natural protector
of the home, but she cannot accom-
plish that God-given mission so long
as she is hampered by having no voice
in the government, whose burdens she
is taxed to maintain. Every law of
justice demands that the mothers of
our race be given the ballot. Because
of their vital interest in the young
and in the home they are the more
earnest and efficient workers. Re-
sults-actual work accomplished by
women-in the equal suffrage states,
and in those states who do not allow
their women to vote, show the great
difference between woman's influence
alone, and woman's influence backed
by her vote; the inference is clear.
Four states in our union have
given woman the ballot; may not Ore
gon be the fifth?
Miss Chase concluded with strong
and effective appeal to the minds of
every thoughtful voter, calling upon
their sense of justice to decide this
great question. Miss Chase is a gift
ed speaker, her tones clear and dis
tinct. her language smooth and flu
ent, her arguments calm and convinc-
ing, her facts we'll marshaled and at
her ready command. She held her
audience from beginning to the end
of her speech, with an unabated in
terest.
A campaign committee was organ
lied to carry out the work of the cam
paign in the interest of woman suf-
/ frage. The committee consists of 25
members and will increase to 80 be-
| fore another week.

FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Convincing Array of Facts Presented
by Miss Chase.

Helix, Feb. 23.-(Editor East Ore
gonian.) n.)-Miss Mary N. Chase of
New Hampshire, who is working in
the interest Of woman suffrage in
this state gave lecture at Helix, in
the Christian church Tuesday, Feb
ruary 20. She called the attention Of
her listeners to the great work ac-
complished in the equal suffrage
states.
After the ballot had been granted
to women In Colorado, they accom-
plished in a short time what the Mas
sachusetts women were so years in
securing-an equal guardianship OF
father and mother over their chill
dren. Colorado now has the best
laws Of any state for the protection
Of It's children; these, too, have been
secured by the women.
Because some women do not care
to vote is no good reason why those
who do want the right should not
have II: because some men do not
exercise their right to vote has never
