Suffragettes Pushing Fight.

T.EN- 80 -@.t
There is no doubt that the Suffra-
gette movement has taken deep root
in this country. Representatives IN
Congress have been made aware Of
this fact to their unrest Of mind.
Women individually and in delega-
lions have started on a campaign to
obtain personal pledges to support
the cause on the floor of the House
and on the platform. It is asserted
many Representatives already have
given pledges. If they have done
this in the belief that they never will
be called upon to fulfill their pledges
officially, they are likely to find them
selves in an unpleasant corner. The
leaders of the movement are deter
mined to carry their fight straight to
Washington, and to that end are
pushing work on the great petition
which, it is hoped, will be ready for
presentation in April. Mrs. Rachel
Foster Avery, one of the most jealous
workers for the cause, is confident
the petition will move the House to
action. Names are being gathered
in all parts Of the country, and it is
believed the petition when completed
will include O than 100000
names.-New York Press.

Patty put in, proudly:
And we've brought him some low

soil Of Clinch County.
Clinch? The best county in the
State for farming, and the n that

heartily.
And then Miss Patty's enthusiasm
poured itself out in a torrent as sha
told him how she admired the Gov

grandparents Of Rufus and. Hebby had
been the first settlers in Clinch Conn

houses, homes and happiness for
thousands who came first because the
price Of land made it possible for
them to live.
The gentleman listened very corr
teously, and if Hebby felt a little fear
that Miss Patty was becoming tire
some, she did not allow her restless
ness to show itself. The woman in
the wonderful white dress, a flmy.
cobwebby thing which Hobby decided
had been purchased with a regal dis
regard of wearing qualities, stood
looking down into Miss Patty's eager
face, listening in the queerest way.

was a tired little droop to her ewes.
but there was that in her exquisite
ness, her grace and softness, that re-
minded Hebby of the dollhouse low
ers, with their long stems and won
drous tints.
"Oh, that was SO Interestingly" she
exclaimed, with a sigh, and a smile
that TRANSPORTED the gray eyes. as
MISS Patty, a little abashed at her
own volubility, shrank back toward
Hebby. II am so glad to have heard
you tell all that! Now, this is Mr..
Marsh, the Governors s~ecretary.n
continued the lady, land if you will
give him your address, he. will send
you cards for a reception at the man

will be glad to see you. And don't
forget to send him the roses this
afternoon" she concluded, with an
other smile.

by his side stood the lady they had
seen in the Capitol grounds, and on
the bosom Of her silken gown lay a
great bunch of red Irish roses.
Miss Patty almost jumped with sur
prise and delight when she recognized
them there, and the Governors wife
laughed.
Didn't you notice the Governors
button-hole?" she whispered; and
sure enough, he, too, wore a tiny bud
from the first civilized rose-bush that
ever grew in Clinch County.

were journeying home from their

close observations OF scientists for
a number of years have proved that
some of the Alpine glaciers are re-
ceding instead of advancing.
A movement has been started In

Dry farming Is being literally en-
couraged by some of the Western
States, including Colorado and others
possessing any great amount of what
Is called "semi-arid" land. This is
where less than twenty inches of rain
falls in the course of the year. The
art Of dry farming consists of work
ing the soil in such a manner as to
secure the full benefit Of every parti-
Gle of moisture which it absorbs. The
success attending this kind of agri-
culture bears out to a great extent
the adage that in agriculture "the
man with a hoe can do nor than a
man with a hose" Dry farming is
now successfully carried out in local
tiles where the annual rainfall is
fourteen inches, and, it is hoped, as
more is learned Of it, that It will be
commercially possible to utilize lands
where the rainfall is as low as ten
inches.
