Pretty Girls Hunt Solons.

suppers have been given and the plan is apparently working nicely. Pretty girls are using their blandishments upon the bachelors of the legislature. Smiles and, perhaps, who knows. kisses are being utilized in place of arguments with the men who won't see.~ Influence is being used with the wives and daughters of the legisla- tors and also the sweethearts. All have combined in one final campaign for woman's rights. And this year the women-the Political Equality clubs of the state-feel confident of success. If they don't succeed this time-well, they won't give up, but they will feel nightly discouraged.

CACTUS IS GOOD FODDER.
Scientists Prove Value of Burbank's
 Latest FIant Development.

Berkshire. Cal.-EXperiments just completed by M F. Jaffa, head of the department of nutrition and foods at the university, show that a new spe- cies of thornless cactus has proper ties as fodder for cattle which will equal many Of the desert grasses. The tests were made at the request of Lu ther Burbank, the originator of the new species of plant, and have proved to the full the great importance of the new plant as a-fodder for cattle in the waste lands. Prof. Jaffa's report on the experiment has just been com pleted, and will be forwarded to Bur bank in few days.
 A short time ago five species of the plant were sent to the agricultural station here to determine the food value The series of experiments car ried on by Prof. Jaffa show that the new plant carries nutrtive powers equal to three-quarters that of al falfa.

 Patrick thought this dream a call to carry the gospel to the Irish, but his people besought him with tears and persuasions not to go. He grew sick with anxiety, but at last vowed to go, when he at once began to mend.

 Patrick saw clearly that to convert the nation, he must first reach the king and this powerful court of learned men. He must be educated tn do this. So for some years he buried himself at the school or church of Candida Casa, so called because Bishop Ninian had built it of beauti- ful white stone. This was in south Scotland, and Ninian, noble-b born, edu- cated al Rome, and who had himself converted the south Picts to Chris tia2ity, was of all men the best quail. fled to train ardent and enthusiastic Patrick for his life work

Patrick was sold to petty chief, Milcho, who lived in the county of Antrim, among the Slemish mountains.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-On February II, 1908, Wilkesbarre is to celebrate the tooth anniversary of the day on which anthracite coal was first burned in an open grate. Incidentally the ruthless searcher after facts has shown that what was supposed to be history was merely tradition, for it has been learned that the original grate is net now in existence and that the grate now carefully preserved in the Fell House in Wilkesbarre as the original is a duplicate which was placed in the original fireplace in 1878.

Judge Fell made his ,experiment.eThs four young men were James Plater Dennis, a grandson of Judge Fell: Henry Martyr Hoyt, afterYard gov ernor of Pennylyania: John Butler Conyngham and Stanley Wood ward, afterward a leading lawyer of the state
 Thus they became the founders of the Wyoming Historical and GeoloGi- cal society. It is this organization that now proposes to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the experiment of Judge Fell.
 1t was at meeting of the society that the facts concerning the old Jesse Fell grate were learned. A pa per on Where is the grate on which Jesse Fell made his successful eX- pertinent of burning anthracite coal?' was read before the meeting by Rev. H. E. Hayden.
 MT. Hayden has come to the con c]usion that the original grate is not now in existence. and that the only well authenticated grate eXtant be- longing to Judge Fell" is that hereto fore known as the Kiernan or Flick grate and now in the possession of the society.
 Concerning the original grate as many as six statements are made. The first is that the grate was made of hickory withes. MT. Hayden de- clares this untrue.
 Next comes the Marble grate, so called because it's claims were first put forth by Col J NJ. C. Marble, president of the First National bank of Los Angeles. He states that while visiting his grandfather at Wyoming he was told the story of Judge Fell 5 experiment.
 According to this story some iron bars were set in the old chimney, which is still in existence in the Fell house, bricks were piled in front and oD the sides and on the iron bars a fire of hickory wood was built. Coal was then procured and placed on the fire, and it burned nicely.
 Judge Fell was so pleased, the story continues, that he took out this grate and had another more substantial one made on the following day This, then. disposes of the original grate. In 1858 there was no grate in the fireplace. The projectors of the his torical society secured from MT. Carpenter an old grate which had been used by Judge Fell and placed it in the fireplace for this celebration. The old grate was worn out, and whether it was the one made by Judge Fell after his first experiment or what became of it afterward is not known.
 Later in Judge FelPs life he mar ried a widow named Culver. When in 1880 they moved from the old Fell house they took the grate with them, and this is the grate now in the pos session of the Historical society.
 The old grate now in the original fireplace at the Fell house, was, ac- cold!ng to Capt. Calvin Parsons placed in the fireplace by him in 1878 when a centennial celebration was held for the Wyoming massacre.
 When in 1906 the original tavern was torn down the old fireplace and chimney were preserved intact and now occupy d place of honor in the new building.

Usina New Methods to Secure Woman
 Suffrage in Iowa.

Des Mo:res, Ia.-Satisfied now that arguments will do no good. Iowa wom- en have determined to try blandish- ments in order to get law through the legislature giving them the right to vote. Petitions, submitted annual ly for 20 years. have been met with refusals. Last year the women came nearest to success since the beginning of the agitation-the house passed it, and it might have passed in the sen ate if the legislature hadn't adjourned before the bill was reached.
 This year the women have enlisted the aid of all the pretty girls and women in the state. They have used LID all the argument and logic they possessed in pamphlet which has been placed in the hands of every member. Now they have something better. A series of banquets have been arranged for all the doubtful members of the legislature, and all ready innumerab1e little dinners and
