and other tales and rhymes Of child
hood. He listened to them, he read
them for himself with all the intense
eagerness of the ordinary child, and
he remembered and interpreted them
with rare facility and with a wealth
of original detail. Before he was 3
he had memorized many Of the simp-
Ter verses, and as he grew older he
developed a pronounced talent for
elocution.
Thus, by the time he had reached
the age of 6, when 1t was decided to
send him to school, William James
Sdis was mentally far in advance OF
other children OF his age. Nor did
his health appear to have been inn
paired in the slightest by the process
of intellectual discipline to which he
had been subjected. Physically he
was as he is today--a robust, sturdy
lad, abounding in energy, fond OF
games, ever ready for play. There
was absolutely nothing in his appear
ance to indicate that he differed in
any way from the average boy Of G.
Appreciatlng this, Mrs. Sidis, when
she entered him at the nearest gram
mar schooR thought she would say
nothing about the preliminary home
education the boy had received She
merely answered the usual questions
about his age, place Of residence, etc,
and then left him at the disposal of
the school authorities, who inform
ed her that he would be placed in the
first grade.

Washington, d. c., oct. 19.-Specu.

Spokane, Wash. Oct. 19.-Mrs. May
Arkwright Hutton of Spokane, wife
of L. w. Hutton, millionaire mine
operator, who has just been elected
president of the Washington Political
Equality League, says in a signed stat
ment anent the receptions accorded to
President Taft and William Jennings
Bryan on their tours of the Northwest
that the majority of the voters of the
United States made their choice last
November and elected "a man who
stands for the classes" as against "the
man of the Masses" adding: "Wo-
man as a whole have no voice, and in
this election they cannot be held re-

new organization, which will embrace
the righteous principles of all the old
parties and promote ideas under which
all the people can live. The thinking
women of America stand ready to aid
in this great movement but they must
be given the ballot to make their work

NEGROES STOP WORK
WHILE BIG SMOKE FIGHTS

Memphis, Tenn.-The negro crews
of the river steamers who refused to
go to work Saturday while the john
son-Ketchel fight was In progress, re-
turned to work today and the sus-
pended river traffic in this vicinity
has been fully resumed.
Saturday afternoon the negro
"roustabouts" refused to work for the
reason that they wanted to learn the
outcome of the fistic battle between
the black champion and Ketchel.
AS a result number of boats were
compelled to tie up because Of the
scarcity of labor.
Sunday they still refused to board
the boats as they desired to celebrate
Johnson's victory.
Today, however, they have returned
and the big river craft are plowing
the stream on their belated way.
