writing OF The Dreadnaughts
Of the womnn's Battle" in
A Norman Mack's National
Monthly. throws these thrills
A4 into the suffrage campaign:
While the woman's revolution in this
country has not seen its Yorktown, and
many martyrs and heroes have died in the
weary years Of encouragement and contest,
still we are now well over the great de-
clslve battles. None but the ignorant pirate
OF the possible dangers Of the vote in wom-
ans hands. For over a quarter OF a CEN
tury women have had the full vote in a
number OF our states. Their governors,
their legislators and their editors continu-
ally call upon the people Of the other states
TO observe the great good results and to
give the ballot to the mothers, the teachers,
the wives who must needs use II to the ad-
vantage OF their families, their homes and
themselves. Colorado, with it's great educa-
tional system. organized by a woman state
superintendent Mrs. Grenfels, leads the ed
vocational statistics Of the nation. Wyom-
ing points to empty jails and better and
more humane laws. In many states they
have gained the municipal vote, in nearly
all the states the school vote. Two states
will vote on the question Of full suffrage
this year.

a transient thing. 1t ennobles those who love
it and belongs to those who know it afar.
1t is as precious to me today as it was to
Patrick Henry when he rose like a young
god and flung his deafness words in the
teeth of hesitating men.
The humblest woman who begs for her
freedom is a patriot. The proudest woman
who belittles It is a coward.
Any callow schoolboy Of p might tell you
that man was born with a ballot in his
hand. and that woman was born with a
begging bowl in her hand, that man came
into the world with all the rights except
one, and that was the right Of petition. He
likes to picture man on a throne and woman
on her knees. This same fledgling thinker
has been known to add that women do not
know enough to vote.
This type Of young man has probably
suffered from inferior parentage, and his
teachers and acquaintance must have been
Of poor grade; but there are enough Of his
kind in every rural community and down
in every crowded ward of a city to make
this sort of thing sound as II we had heard
it before.
These poor little wits who want to know
who will rock the cradle when mamma
votes" have neither a very dignified con-
ception of womanhood nor a very ordinary
knowledge Of American history. They do
not know that their g~randmothers melted
their spoons, tankards, plates and pots for
bullets to win the fight for mans suffrage
In this country; that while men went TO
the front with the inspiring fife and drum,
the women stayed in lonely, remote cabins
to fight famine, savages wolves and to de-
fend the children, the aged and the sick.
They suffered privation, travail, bereave-
ment. They dug graves and said their own
prayers. When that remnant Of an army
came back they found the homes waiting.
Woman to man they had fought the fight.

Wings for Battleships

BY direction of President Roosevelt, q
ship brake invented by French Canadian
will be tested at the League Island navy
yard as soon as the brake can be installed
on the battleship Indians. It consists OF
two steel wings about four feet wide and
twelve feet high, running from the water
line down toward the keel. The wings
are on hinges and when closed lie forward
against the side Of the ship. One wing is
placed on each side Of the vessel about
amidship.
When the brake is released the forward
motion OF the vessel through the water
causes the wings to open and produce a
strong friction counter force against the
forward motion of the vessel. The brake
is closed by hydraulic power. Its inventor
says that it also enables the vessel to
manoeuvre more easily and in smaller sea
space.

Cratan Seals.

Some Of the greatest scholars have
used their learning more as weapon
than a means of illumination. Pro-
fessor Lewis Campbelrs gentleness
and courtesy may be illustrated by
the following true story: Some years
ago he was in the chair at a meeting
of the Hellenic society when DR.. Ar
thur Evans described the results Of
some of his first excavations in Crete.
Among his finds were number of
seals and other relics showing traces
of affinity with early Egyptian art.
Discussion followed, in the course of
which a venerable admiral, who had
been present at the battle of Navarino.
rose and said that he did not know
whether he was in order, but he would
like to state that in the year 1898,
when he was cruising in the Levant,
he saw herd Of seals off the coast of
Crete-a sight which he had never seen
before or since. The situation was
delicate, but it was STAYED by the
chairman, who rose Immediately to
express the thanks Of the meeting to
the admiral for his interesting rem
iniscence. Here" he said, 1--WE have
another link with Egypt, for all Of us
must remember the story in the Odys-
sey Of Proteus and his herd of seals
on the island near the mouth of the
London Spectator.

Early In the campaign Powers had
suggested that the liberal use Of her
face had rendered the girl rather con-
spicuous, so the company paid for q
carriage that took her to and from her
work.
At first Hosmer had approved the
suggestion, but now he went to the
other extreme There was no chance
to walk home with Miss Pryor, and his
request for permission to call was met
with a polite negative.
He and Vaughn could only fight 1t
out during Office hours. and when
Vaughn objected TO Hosmer's contin-
red presence in the shipping depart
lnent and asked Powers to give Hos
pert retaliated by again reverting to
his suggestion that Miss Pryor should
be transferred to the sales office.
The constant pickering could have
but one effect. From surliness they
passed to open warfare, and at last
they brought the matter to the head of
the firm.
Each pleaded his case. and then they
stood waiting the decision with an
anxiety that showed plainly in their
faces. Each felt that victory with
the chief would aid his fight, and the
moments that passed after the case
had been stated were painful to them
both.
Powers glanced slowly from one to
the other, and his face broke into q
smile.
"You both say that you have the
right to Miss Pryor's services" he be-
gan slowly. "Tm afraid that you will
both have to hire other typists. Miss
Pryor tells me that you both are-er-
rather cordial to her. 1t seems that
you. Vaughn, have suddenly discovered
that you need Miss Pryor. Only lit
tie while before the advertising cam
paign was started you told me that
you should have to put on another
girl, As Miss Pryor was willing, but
slow. fancy that the way out Of this
will be to get another Dentola girl and
another typist for the shipping depart
ment"
There's no reason for such drastic
actionw cried Hosmer, but Powers only
smiled again.
There Is an excellent reason" he
said slowly 81 am to marry Miss
Pryor. She did me the honor to ac-
| cept me. and as soon as the Dentola
craze Is forgotten we will be married.
Meanwhile she has her royalty from
the use Of her picture, and she will not
| need her position. She would have
told you this. Vaughn. had you waited
| until this afternoon"
Vaughn, too dazed to speak, turned
| and left the office, and Hosmer was
about to follow when Powers detained
him with word.
"You said that you would win a
raise on Dentola. and you have" he
said kindly. ut pays to advertise.

Eyes, when you have something to
SELL" agreed the expert, "but was
trying to sell Dentola. not Miss Den

| first and advertise afterward."
miss Pryor and myself are very
grateful to you" said Powers, with a
cordial hand clasp, "and I hope that
you find another Dentola, Paul"
"And I bet 1 won't lose her to any
other man." was Hosmer's grim reply.
