LOGIC NOT STRONG POINT.
French Suffragist Leader Astonished
Her interviewer.

1t must be admitted that mere man
has some grounds for his contention
that the fair sex does not proceed
along the lines of logic in her mental
processes. Nine. Pelletier, the ener-
getic leader of the French suffragists,
has demanded that the first plank In
the platform of her party shall be the
right of women to bear arms.
A reporter called upon her to ask for
a further exposition of her views and
she calmly informed the dazed news
paper man that she was an anti-mili-
tarist, To her entire satisfaction she
explained that she had no intention OF
sending women to war. but that she
thought the training. drill and COM
pulsory marching would be good for
them.
She herself dresses as nearly like a
man as the law will permit She wears
a short tight fitting skirt, a mans coat
and skirt. with the accessories of mas
culine collar and necktie. Her hair is
cut short and 1t speaks volumes for
the gallantry of her nation that the in
terviewer described her abbreviated
tresses as Tending shade in their re-
bellious strength to a fine and noble
brow."-Chicago Tribune

ADVENT OF THE
SPINELESS CACTUS
Twenty-Five Varieties Collected
and Introduced, Some of Which
Are Quite Promising.

Those who have been Gag erly
awaiting the advent of the spineless
cactus will be interested to know that
1t is already here, and that, too, with
out breeding or selection. The United
States bureau of plant industry. re-
ports David Griffiths in recent bulle-
tin of the department of agriculture,
has been studying the matter since
1907, and has collected and introduced
about twenty-five spineless species or
varieties, ten or twelve of which are
promising IL is preparing to send out
free for experiment 1000 to 5000 cut
tings, but only to growers who dwell
In the area where the plant will live.
1t must be borne in mind also that a
spineless cactus will not necessarily
remain spineless. Unfavorable condi-
tons, such as alkaline soil, heat or
drought, may be expected to develop
the tiny spines that most of them pos
sess. Further:
1T is essential to remember that
these plants cannot be put out to shift
for themselves; they must be farmed
like any other crop, though, owing to
their resistance, they permit more
latitude in their treatment than most
other plants. The prickly pear
