liquor selling is illegal. Connecticut
has ninety-six dry" towns out Of 176.
About half Of Rhode Island is dry"
New Hampshire is nominally a prohibit
ton State, but liquor is sold In about
40 per cent of its territory. California
and Colorado are almost wholly local
option, and Oregon partially so.
This Is certainly a formidable rec
ord of achievements. 1t does not in
clude Maine and Kansas, which are
non-liquor States as a result of the old
prohibition movement.
While thus in every State the Anti
Saloon League is pressing the issue to
a finish it is, at the same time, de
termined to stop indiscriminate inter
state traffic in liquor. At present
liquor packages are sent through the
express Offices to thousands of com
munities, and are often addressed to
fictitious names and kept in storage in
the delivery Offices. They are called
for promiscuously by those who seek
liquor. All that is necessary is to pay
the G. 0. D. charges. A bill that the
league is now pressing in Congress will,
if passed, put stop to this original
package" practice by putting shipped
liquors on the same basis as liquors
made within the boundaries Of a State.
Woman Suffrage Agitation.
While the men of the United States
have won the reputation Of playing the
cavalier to women in social life, Amer
lea has moved at much slower pace in
according civil recognition than has
been done in some Of the countries
across the sea. In England, where the
husband has from time immemorial
been the lord Of the household, women
may vote upon the same terms as men
at all elections except those for mem
bers Of Parliament; and the sentiment
for complete suffrage is strong and IN
mistakable.
Women vote for all officers except
members Of Parliament in Scotland Ire
land and Wales; for the women of
England have had municipal suffrage
since 1869, the women of Scotland since
1881, and In Ireland since 1898.
That little patch Of insular territory
known as the Isle of Man bears q mis-
homer in its nomenclature, for its
women have equal rule with the men
in all elections and it has been point
ed out that none Of the political cat
aclysms have swept the attractive spot
since 1880, the date Of the enactment
giving full suffrage.

esque and the sturdy in scenery and ma

tfonal traits, women vote for all officers
except those who sit IN the legislative
body. The same rights are granted in
Norway, while In Iceland one thing at
least has thawed out and that is the
male electorate, which walks to the
polls in company with the women of
the land.
Federated Australia, a composite cit
izenShip of the English, the Yankee,
the Dutch and the lover of freedom
from all lands, made complete surren-
der to the women in 1902 and extended
full national suffrage. New South
Wales caught the infection and decided
that intelligence, and not the sex of
the voter, was the requirement for a
permanent government. Nineteen wom-
en- sit in the Parliament of Finland,
and the people Of that country have
expressed satisfaction with the results.
Hungary, the land of the queenly
Maria Theresa, recently witnessed a
demonstration in which thousands Of
men marched in a parade that had
equal rights for women as its battle
cry. Scotland duplicated the perform
ance the same week and the English
cities are so accustomed to such out
bursts that they cease to excite wonder
or surprise.
Kentucky, always proud Of its beau
tiful women, was the first to recog-
nize the claim of equal rights, hut evil
IDENTIFY afraid to trust its wives and
sisters too far, extended the school suf-
frage only to widows with children
of school age. In Wyoming the wcm-
Ell have voted upon the same terms as
men since 1869; the women Of Colo
RADIO since 1898, and the women of
Idaho and Utah since 1896.
In 1861 Kansas gave all women the
school suffrage. School suffrage was
granted by Michigan and Minnesota in
1871, by Colorado in 1876, by New
Hampshire and Oregon in 1875 by Mas
sachusetts in 1879, New York and Yer
mont in 1880, while in 1907 the move
ment swept through Canada and the
women of Toronto won in the battle
for municipal suffrage.
But the returns are now coming in
so fast that women's rights associa-
lions are obliged to frequently revise
their statistics to keep them up to date
The first victories were won on the
school franchise, the extension Of full
municipal suffrage came in natural Sc
quence, until one or both have been

soldier of the Danes who had been
slightly wounded was sitting on the
ground. He was about to take a drink
from a flask. All at once he heard
some one say:
'Oh, sir, give me drink, for l am
dying"
1t was wounded Swede who spoke.
He was lying on the ground only a
little way off. The Dane went to him
at once. He kneit down by the side of
his fallen foe and pressed the flask to
his lips. Drink" said he, "for thy
need is greater than mine.''
Hardly had he spoken these words
when the Swede raised himself on his
elbow. He pulled pistol from his
pocket and shot at the man who would
have befriended him. The bullet graz
ed the Danes shoulder, but did not do
him much harm.

to the Swede.
When the king of the Danes heard
about this he sent for the soldier and
had him tell the story just as it was.

Swede after he had tried to kill you?'
asked the king.
