NUTSHELL

The stock argument against
votes for women-that they could
not bear arms in event of warts
not unanswerable.
History is explicit concerning
women's efficiency as private SOL
'diers, and at least one good regi-
mental officer should be credited to
the weaker sex. On the authority
of Anatole France. Joan of Arc once
declared her principles of leader
ship:
Il say, in among them, and I go
in"
The soldiers of France followed,
of course. Could male regular or vol
unteer better that ?"-Youth's Com
panion.

WISE ~PRECAUTION.

The mercury vas trying to ooze
out at the top of the farmhouse ther-
mometer and the old farmer was
pitching chunks of ice in the pond.
"What are you doing that for?"
queried the summer boarder.
"That's t keep tn pesky ducks
from layin' hard-b'iled eggs" an
swered the rural philosopher.

CITY FAIRGROUNDS.

Los Angeles, CAL, which spends
$4,000 a year on this feature of
civic life, already has a playground
system, and will shortly take steps
to have some of these opened at
night for working people. The leg
islature of the state of Washington
recently passed a bill, afterward We
toed, requiring that in all additions
to cities of 10000 or more popula-

should be set aside for parks and
Fairgrounds.

STINGY HUBBY Is A LOSER
Smart Woman's Tactics That Enable
Her to Stroll Around on
Easy Street.

That there are more ways than
one of 'killing a cat" is a we'll
known fact, but the newest of ways
has been evolved from the fertile
brain of a Germantown woman who
is blessed with a stingy husband.
This husband is generous enough in
one sense Of the word. His wife may
have the best attire The stores afford,
charged to his account. but she may
handle no money. Women, in this
mans opinion know nothing of the
value of a dollar. On leaving for
his Office in the morning, he kisses
her good-by and thrusts a quarters
worth of trolley tickets into her
hand. Now milady goes shopping,
buys a few necessities and also a $50
wrap for which she has no use what
ever Next day she returns the lat
ter, receives a credit slip for $50 and
betakes herself to the handkerchief
counter, where she spends so cents,
receiving $3.50 change. Placing
some small change in her purse and
slowing the roll of greenbacks in
what she considers a safer receptacle,
she leaves the shop feeling that she
has made the best of a bad bargain.

NOT FOR HIM.

"Here," said the agent of the
steamship line, care a few of our
circulars and booklets, giving de-
tailed descriptions of summer tours
to out-of-the-way places on our ves-
sells"
The bank cashier paled, and

Henry George Predicts Big Democratic Landslide in
Labor VOte-Cayton Gives High Praise to
Speech of Acceptance.

LINCOLN. Neb., Aug. u.-AIr. Bryan
has agreed to plan to organize the
Southern vote IN Northern States. It
Is estimated that there are 100000 South
ern votes IN New York State alone. In
1855 practically all these votes were cast
either for Palmer or Mckinley. In 1900
some Of the Southerners came back
into camp. but not many. There is a
heavy Southern vote in Indiana, Illinois.
and Ohio.
A letter came from New York saying
that a Bryan Southern Club was being
organized in that city, and that Gen.
Henry d. Douglas. formerly Of Mary
land, probably would be at the head OF
It. General Douglas commanded a

which Colonel Bryan's regiment belong

father made his first campaign for

Of tie best of Mr.. Simpkin's efforts.
Speaking from the text. We all do fade

said:
I'm the perfectness OF the autumn glory
we are drifting out Of another year or
life. The patter Of the leaves is they rain
through the mellow and golden sunlight IS
the musical accompaniment Of every hour.
Resting on the dying grasses of the lawn
and field. whirling in the eddies OF the
winds trOdden in the dust TO whose en-
richment they give their fragile tissue,
they hold a message for life. The flaming
beauty of the hillside clumps. the ivy
burning with the last crimson energy OF
its clinging life on wall and rock and
of this tree or that shimmering in the
haze Of these long. delicious afternoons,
is but the transformation scene that pre-
sages the winters falling curtain, the
touch OF death. 1t is but the setting for
the message ringing through all the
change of the years, speaking the fading
Of all life, singing the song Of yesterday
and tomorrow which Is pricked in a score

DRY has its note of triumph that dims the

The word of the prophet of Israel may
be q truism. but 1t IS one we cannot af-
ford TO forget. We all do fade as a leaf
Fail not as men and women endowed with
wisdom and the power of reason To learn
this lesson of nature as II is spoken so
eloquently in the metamorphosis of the
autumn fading. The poet we'll calls this
period one of melancholy. And yet II is
not wise TO count that a disadvantage
That melancholy Is soothing and gentle
and one can but think that in the divine
order the heart of man is TO be finely
tonched TO fine issues by its influence
IL Is season whose lesson is apt to teach
us how In the press of life we disquiet
our hearts in vain over the vain things
Not for despair or for narrow view, but
for Mes abiding values should we dwell
