Thousands and thousands of persons
have done a good deal of wondering OF
late-they have wondered, among other
things, why it is that 1t has been so
utterly impossible to get the House OF
Representatives to pass certain legisla-
ton clearly desired by the country at
large-why it has even been impossible
ton to a vote. Such legislation, foi
example, is the bill for White Noun
tain and Southern Appalachian Forest
reserve. This bill, with others equally
popular, has been chloroformed sweetly
in one of Uncle Joe's committees. Not
only does it slumber, but Uncle Joe has
even forgotten to leave a call.
This and similar measures that the
public approve have not been passed or
even considered on the floor of the
House for the simple reason that
Uncle Joe and Company do not want
them considered. But II you are in
terested in one of those slumbering bills
and you appeal to Uncle Joe for help
you are likely to come from his pres
ence, in the celebrated Red Room
where he reigns, convinced that the
speaker is, as he will tell you, only one
among 391 members Of the House,
whereas, as a matter Of fact, the rest
OF the House are only 800 members
among one Uncle Joe.-A. E. Thomas

Girls upon skates were unheard-of

our little red-mittened hands a long
stick held out TO us by some chivalrous

America has proven pretty good

Helen of Troy was a beautiful WON

was taken up in creating dissensions

capriciOus and coy and (if they had
such things in those days) almost
broke her husband up with her millin-
cry bills. Cleopatra was woman
of beauty and influence, and yet, If
the stories told about her are true, 1t
would almost make a convention of
Sunday School superintendent wild

There was a time within the last
span of centuries when woman left
those old ties and those old trodden
tracks and started out on these new
opportunities, writes Levi p Goodale.
We find on the pages OF history the
counterpart for the old historic wom-
en- when we read of those noble wom-
en- who have devoted their lives to the
advancement of the human race. Take
Dido, for instance, and what strik-
ing opposition is there in Lady Hen
ry Somerset, who devoted her whole
life to the amelioration of the human
race. What a striking opposition are
