and had fits of trembling and went
through a siege of nervous prostra-

married | found my husband and

directions about boiling it, served i
with good cream, and asked my hus

WOMAN DELEGATE
v NIS SUFPRAGEYTE
Mrs. Clark of Utah Has Seat in
Convention.
Defines Rights of Females 10 Vote
and Wanted Strong Plank In
Party Platform.
BACKED BY HER DELEGATION

Chicago, H., June 1S.-There Is
a woman delegate TO the convention
| She is Mrs. Lucy A. Rice Clark, oil
Utah, and is also one of the most en-
thusiastic delegates. Seated with the
Utah members she was the center oi
attraction. Mrs. Clark originally was
an alternate.
Mrs. Clark" said one Of the dele
gates, &C. +. Loose, of Provost
isn't coming. It's up to you and
two other alternates. We're going
to east lots now"
Mrs Clark gasped. The two other
alternates were men. and as the lots
were drawn Mrs. Clark sent up a
| little silent prayer. She admitted il
afterward. 1t came out right, OF
course. tt
Il can't hardly realize IT," she said
afterward. 1T means so much for
the cause of woman suffrage.
oh yes, am a suffragette. We
all are In Utah-men and all. Every
one will tell you that ii is a good
thing there. Why, Mr. Sutherland,
our member on the resolutions com
mittee. is going to introduce a reso-
luton favoring the enfranchisement
Of the women of the nation. The
women of Illinois are going to intro
duce one. Well, then, Mr. Suther-
land will work with them"
DO you come in the interest of
woman suffrage or do you stand on
your own feet Mrs. Clark was
asked
81 have two feet" she retorted,
zone for myself and the other firmly
planted on the woman suffrage plank
What | know is good for me and the
women of Utah / want my sisters all
over the land to enjoy"
Mrs. Clark declares that no consti-
tutional amendment is needed to
that the constitution does not debar
women by emitting to mention them.
when the fourteenth amendment
enfranehised the slaves 1t declared
that no person should be debarred
from his constitutional rights be
cause of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude," argues the wo-
man from Utah.
Are not women members of the
race? am only surprised that men
have so long failed to see the
TRUTH"

owners of Ferncroft Inn to the town
of Middleton, in Essex county, which

history at the annual town meeting

siderably more than zoe greater
than the amount paid for license in
Boston. Although the town has
only about six hundred inhabitants,
there was some spirited bidding for
the privilege to dispense alcoholic re-
freshments. The proprietors of the
inn think the license is a good thing
to have, in view of the automobile
traffic and the fact that most of the
larger towns and cities in that sec
ton of the country are now dry"

FEW LIVELY ARGUMENTS.

| Chicago, June 1S.-The Fairbanks
contestants from Kentucky were Civ
en- a quick finish by the credentials
committee. though the committee de-
voted nearly two hours to hearing the
-four cases. Once the speeches We're
over, the voting was done instantly,
and the Al to 4 which was the result
in the First district in favor of the
Taft men was a fair sample of the
votes on the other contests.
The committee. however, in each
case extended the time allowed for
the statement of the case, and some
| of the members, notably Senator
| Reed Smoot, of Utah, gave the Taft
men some uncomfortable moments by
asking leading and embarrassing ques
tons. The proceedings We're also en-
livened by sharp tits between W O.
Bradley and William Marshall Bullut,
who Appeared for opposing sides In
the Louisville case, and former Sena-
tor w. j. Deboe and H. j. Dehart,
who spoke on the First district con
test. Bradley and Bullitt clashed
when Mr. Bullitt attempted to tell
how Mr.. Bradley had. immediately
after his election as senator, come

Officials have right to ask ques'

duty, but there are occasions when ii
seems they might curtail or foregc
the privilege. Not long ago an Irish
man whose hand had been badly
mangled in an accident entered the
Boston City Hospital Relief Station
in a great hurry. He stepped up tC
the man in charge and inquired:

Eyes. What Is your name?"
Patrick OConnor, sor.'
Are you married." questioned
the officer.
"Yis, sor. but is this the relief
station?" He was nursing his hand
in agony.
"Of course, it is. How many chill

What Agriculture Needs.

Agriculture must rise to meet the
college man. The leading agricul-
tural colleges are now so well estab-
lished and are teaching in such direct
and applicable ways, that they are
creating body of ability and senti-
ment touching country life that has
never been known before. This abili-
ty and sentiment is bound to express
itself. The influence of these col
leges and experiment stations will
surely remake agriculture and re-
direct it.
This redirection will not show it.
self in increasing the productiveness
of the earth only, although this must
be the fundamental effort and result.
1t must consist as well in reorgan-
izing the business or commercial in
teress of agriculture, and in a radi-
cal change in the ideals and modes
of living. We shall be able to in
crease the profitableness of farming
when we have learned to apply our
science, and to organize it as a part
of good business systems. We are
now in the epoch of the laudation
of science itself, as If the mere
knowledge of the laws underlying
good crop and animal production can
make a food farnler.--Century Mag

As Rich As CrOpSuS,

The wealth of Crgsus, which has
passed into proverb, has been vari-
ously accounted for. The possessOrs
of Sardis, the capital Of the Lydian
kings, were enriched by the neighbor-
hood of the river Pactolus, which
flowed down from Mount Timolus to-
ward the Hermes, and brought with
it considerable quantities of gold in its
sands. To this cause historians often
ascribe the abundant treasures be-
longing to Crnsus and his predeces-
sOrs, but CrPsus possessed besides
other mines near Pergamus, and an
other cause Of wealth Is also to be
found in the general industry of the
Lydian people. They were the first
according to Herodotus), who ever
carried on retail trade, and the first
to coin money of gold and silver.
