WOMEN VOTERS I'm AUSTRALIA

The argument that women will not
vote Is completely disproved by Aus
tralian experience. They not only vote
but they vote in continually increas-
ing numbers as time goes on and they
become educated up to sense of their
political responsibilities and all that
these imply. Not all the States dis
criminate in their returns between men
and women voters, but those that do
show something like the following:
In South Australia. at the last general
election, 50 per cent OF the men on the
rolls voted and AZ per cent of the wo-
men; In Western Australia, 49 per cent
or the men and Al per cent of the
women voted; at the last Federal cleo
ton 56 per cent of the men voted and
40 per cent of the women. None of the
Australian States has yet reached the
extraordinary record of New Zealand
where in 1902 nearly 75 per cent OF the
women electors recorded their votes,
as against 76 per cent Of their brothers.

SPEECH WITHOUT THOUGHT

Captain Brunswig OF the Prinzessin
Victoria Luise blew out his brains.
Count Boni de Castellane, victim OF
far worse shipwreck, didn't. So there
you are. The Teuton showed GaIlic
excitability. the Gaul showed Teutonic
phlegm- Possibly the German was a
descendant OF GauIs who had anciently
crossed the Rhine, and the Frenchman
descendant Of Germans who ancient
ly crossed over into Gaul. But that's
not the point The point is that we
make very elaborate fools of ourselves
as a rule in our little experiments IN
racial psychology. It's so easy TO speak
of nation in an offhaad, cocksure way
as being volatile or stoIid or humorous
or some other unpleasant thing. It
saves thought.-Boston Transcript

WOMAN TRIES To
KILL JUDGE
Miss Rosa We'll of st. Louis
Attempts to Right an
Imaginary Wrong of Court
CREATES SENSATION

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-Just after Judge
j. A. Mcdonald of the Circuit Court
had convened court this morning Miss
Rosa We'll arose from among the spec
tators and fired pointblank with re-
volver at the Judge. The bullet missed
him. She was disarmed and arrested. She
was a litigant in a case concerning a
disputed inheritance that was tried
before Judge Mcdonald two months
ago.
Rosa We'll, accompanied by her older
sister, Clara We'll, entered the court
room a few minutes before court con-
vened and quietly took seats on the
second spectators bench back OF the
railing. Their appearance attracted
no attention, and they sat quietly
watching the proceedings as Judge Nc
Donald entered from his private cham
ber and took his seat on the bench.
Motions were offered in a pending
case, and an attorney had started to
address the court, when Rosa Well,
without warning, stood UP with a lev
eled revolver and fred at Judge Mo-
Donald. F. L. Wetzel, a witness sit
ting nearest her, seized her before she
could fire a second time, and several
other persons near by sprang at the
woman and wrenohed the revolver from
her hand. She maintained remarkable
composure and said IN calm tone, Il
ought to have got him.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Burns took
both women into custody. Judge Mo-
Donald did not rise from his seat dur
ing the excitement Take the two
women out of the courtroom" he said
to Deputy Sheriff Burns. and when the
women had been led from the room
and order restored the Judge turned to
several attorneys who were waiting to
make motions and said: Proceed,
gentlemen"
Rosa We'll is the daughter of Mrs.
Elise Well and the late August /. We'll.
She was displeased with Judge Nc
Donald's adverse decision on November
2 in the case in which her mother
sought to deprive a grandson of q
share in the August We'll estate.
At the Four Courts Clara We'll said:
Rosa and I first planned to kill our
selves. Then we decided to kill Judge
Mcdonald and then commit suicide to-
gether. We could not get justice, so
we thought we would take the law
in our own hands. We were beaten
out Of our property, worth $4,000, by
the manipulations of certain men. We
tried to obtain injunctions charging
them with forgery, but we could not.
We decided Judge Mcdonald should
die"

BLUsHEs MADE TO ORDER

terry of converting a faded society
woman into a study in pink and white.
The beauty doctor has already made
several successful experiments with his
fountain of youth. He simply tattooes
a blush on the cheeks without injury
to the flesh or skin. He declares the
process does not cause pain-not even
a wince-because the needle onl. en-
ters the skin one sixteenth of an inch.
He uses vegetable coloring to produce
the schoolgirl blush This is injected
under the skin. The fluid is said to
be quite harmless and really possesses

necessary for complete operation, and
the effect for few days Is not pretty.
The complexion changes from pink to

NEW FLORIDA INpUsTRy

Along the Florida coast a new in
dustry has sprung up-the making of
mattresses. pillows, etc, of sponge. The
sponge material is cleansed of all for
eign matter by scrubbing process in
large tanks OF water then run through
wringers, and the drying continues by
subjecting 1T to a cold-air blast 1t is
then shredded by machinery and ster-
ilized and rendered odorless by chem
icai treatment. The sponge mattresses
are only about one-third as heavy and
two-thirds as costly as those OF the
same size made OF hair. They are said
to be thoroughly springy, yet firm and
durable, and especially sanitary, the
material being comparatively nonab-
sorbent A pillow, for example, meas
uring, 19x26 inches weighs only one
pound. or one-third the weight of

BANK NOTES IN OLD CLOTHES

Rather an amusing story comes from
Samara. II appears that for some time
past the Tartar old clothes dealers have
been doing a fiOurishing business in
secondhand boots. gloves and other ar
ficles OF mems clothing. The fact
that bank notes were found sewn into
the Innings of some OF the packets only
increased the demand. But an inQuisi-
tive person took II into his head 10
find out where these clothes came
from, and ascertained that they had
been sent by friends TO the Manchurian
army during the RussO-Japanese war
owing to the vagaries Of the Russian
postal system. they never reached their
destination. But how they got to a cor
ner OF Southwestern Russia nobody
knows, nor who sold them to the Tar
tars.-Warsaw Cable.

FOX IN A DINrNc-RooM

During the run of the Atherstone
Hounds recently a fox. after engaging
the pack for some considerable time,
entered the grounds Of Sutton Cheney
Hall, and being hard pressed made his
way into the house. Entering by the
scullery he passed into the kitchen and
made mad scurry through the hall
TO the dining-room.
Some members OF the household had
the presence of mind TO close the door
OF the room, but not before one hound
had got through. and when Huntsman
Whitemore arrived upon the scene he
found the fox sitting in the window
The disorder in the room showed that
he had been on the table and on other
articles of furniture.-London Chron-

Need of National brotherhood.

With due regard to pessimists, the
United States of America are here to
stay. Communities may rise and fall,
sections advance and retrograde, con-
monwealths experience good times and
bad, the entire country know adversely
and prosperity, but the advance will be
steady and American life more tolerable
than life has been on any section of the
globe Rtany known period of its exist
ence.
II is good to be an American and it is
well to remember that it is good. No
nation is without faults. If the patriot,
deploring the national characteristics,
hysteria, superfciality and tendency
toward moral, mental and physical exag-
geration, often criticises his fellow coun-
trymen, it is because he loves them the
more. No sane American studying
America and Americans has cause for
anything but confidence in them and
himself and for sincere gratitude that he
was so fortunate as to he an American.
This thought is timely when shifting
economic conditions breed class hatred,
general distrus, fear and hesitation.
Without trial, character in nations as in
individuals is rarelv developed, but max
ing up the bone aud sinew of Americans
is the finest stock and the heart of the
American people is sound.
Americas most apparent need is a
stronger sense of national brotherhood.
We are becoming polyglot people.
The alien is to clannish and the native
American too offish. The English, the
Irish, the Scotch, the Teuton, the
Czechs, the Italians and the Russians,
comprising so large part of the add
itions since the civil war, are not weld
ing into the harmonious whole required
in republic to be perpetuated. Too
often, the alien transplants into Amer
icau soil the petty prejudices and exag-
gerated hatred born OF conditions in his
native land. He comes to America, as
he left Europe, looking upon life with
hopeless eyes. 1.-The is allowed to enter,
that is about all that may be said for
American performance of duty. The
native American must extend the hand
of brotherhood more cordially to these
new Americans and the alien-born must
live for America if they are not to Grip
pie the republic by their very force of
numbers.
One menace today is clannishness on
the part Of the alien born and indiffer-
ence OH the part of the native-born.
The nation needs more brotherhood,
less hyphenated citizenship for the de-
velopment and defense OF the most
wonderful commonwealth in human
record.-Iuter-M Mountain.
