WOMEN IN POLITICS

A general election in Great Britain,
the opening of a new parliament, and
a political crisis always serve to bring
out a fact of supreme interest to the
dealer in Anglo-American "compari-
sons"-I mean the prominence of the
women, the altogether more active and
influential part they play in the public
life of England as compared with that
of America.
One must, of course, in this connec-
tion remember how very largely rural
existence in England still revolves
around the placid feudal center how
instructive is the attitude of subordi-
nation on the part of the laborers and
small farmers toward the gentry of
the neighborhood, how great the power
of election and dispossession which
the leasehold system places in the
hands of the landlord and how deeply
woven in the texture of rural life is
the notion that the mistress of the "big
house" should be the Lady Bountiful If
not the Lady Despot of her district.
All this at election time gives woman
of zeal and intelligence rare oppor-
tunity. She knows all within a radius
of twenty or thirty miles; she has
spent her life among them. organizing
charities, nursing associations, bazaars,
flower shows and social entertain
ments; she has cared for the sick and
destitute; she is one of the institu-

FOR BRAVERY

1t was announced in the London Ga
zette last night that the king had
awarded the Edward medal of the Sec
ond class to Miss Hannah Hugill, aged
10, of Great Busby, Yorkshire, for an
act of bravery that saved her mother
from severe-possibly fatal-injury.
Mrs. Hugill, on going into field at
Courthouse farm, Great Busby, with
her daughter to bring in some cows,
was attacked by an infuriated bull.
She defended herself with a pitchfork,
but was knocked down by the bull,
which commenced to gore her. Her
daughter Hannah, who had been left
at the gate about 100 yards from the
place where her mother was attacked,
came to her aid, and recovering the
fork from under the bull used it with
all her strength, thus diverting the an
imars attention.
The mother and daughter then sue
ceeded in making good their escape
frfom the field, though the mother was
again attacked while crossing the
fence.-London Mail.

DOGS LONG FAST

Highland Lad, a valuable Scotch
terrier owned by Mrs. w. Butler
Duncan, holds the record for fasting
in this vicinity. He has been found
after being in a dry well for thirteen
days without food or water.
The dog has been a prize winner at
bench shows in Madison Square gar
den. He disappeared nearly two weeks
ago. Mrs. Duncan was grieved over
the loss of her pet, which was valued
at $1000 and offered a reward of $50
for his return.
Yesterday afternoon a little girl was
passing the well, when she heard a dog
whine. She called an employe of the
Duncans, who found that the sound
came from the bottom of the well. A
ladder was lowered and Highland Lad
was brought to the surface too weak
to stand, but strong enough to recog-
nize those about him. Liquid food was
given to him and within few hours
he was all right.
It is supposed that the dog fell into

OF M ERIT

This is the commercial age. Every
day sees thousands of inventions ana
manufactured products of all kinds
placed on the market. Many Of these
are of real value, but we are sorry to
saw many others are designated more
as a "get-rich' proposition than as a
really meritorious article honestly
meant to be of lasting benefit to man
kind.
Among the manufactured products
that are of benefit and undoubted
merit is the Electric Laundry Com
pound, manufactured and sold by the
Electric Compound company OF 82z
South Spring street. this city.
This compound is proving blessing
to it's many thousands of delighted
users. 1t robs wash day of its terrors
by doing away with hard rubbing and
saving a great deal of the labor of
washing.
1t also saves health and strength
and helps the housewife to be sweet
tempered. A woman shouldn't be
blamed if she is cross and out of humor
after she wears herself out all day
over the tub or machine and ruins her
health as well. By using Electric
Laundry Compound she is enabled to
rest while the clothes are being
cleaned.
The Electric Compound company has

mending it's product in the highest
terms.
This compound not only saves time,
but it saves labor and clothes.
1t saves time because a washing can
be done in one-third to one-half the
time required by the old method.
1t saves labor because the hard work
of handling and rubbing each piece is
done away with.
1t saves clothes because there is no
wear and tear on the rub board.

Compound usually converts the most

Vantages that her wealth and social

From anything of this kind American
women are excluded by the unhappy
separation of politics from society.
senator's wife may be considerable

so only on the condition that she does
not interfere in politics. The bosses
and the machine have between them
killed the very possibility of political
salon, American women, again, as
sex, are only drawn toward public af-
fairs when some great moral or hu-
manitatrian issue is at stake. Vague
battlings with the railways and the
trusts do not interest them, and the
mercenary atmosphere of most Ameri-
can politics simply revolts them. So
it is that, as in all republics, women in
America are forced out of politics.
Even in the ceremonial side, where
their English sisters cut a brilliant
figure, their part is distinctly subor-
dinate They are never really initiated
into the secrets of the game, and they

KNOWING MEN BY THEIR TEETH

A man is known by the teeth he
keeps. The worst thing that can hap
pen to our teeth is for them not to
have enough to dot Is the worst
thing that can happen to us also.
Spiritualzed and cultured as we have
become, we still fight the battle of life
with our teeth, though we no longer
chew our enemies ears or throats.
Bone cored, enamel coated and rock
ribbed as the hills, the teeth are more
absolutely under our control than al
most any other structure of the body.
Neglect them and they decay at once.
Give them proper attention and they
will go on repairing themselves for
forty, fifty, sixty years.
Give children plenty of roughening
food to chew and they will get the
pearly vigor of the savage tooth with
the endurance of the Caucasian's.
Above all the food should be of such
q character as to give exercise and
massage to the gums. Part of this can
be given by plenty of coarse food in
addition to real food-not as substi-
tute for it-and part by intentional
and vigorous friction with the tooth
brush. To brush the gums well is half
the value of brushing the teeth.
Keep the mouth and gums strictly
clean and the teeth will take care of
themselves. There are thirty-three dis
tinct named and labeled sorts of bacilli
or "bugs" in our mouths as normal
parlor boarders. but they'll behave
with perfect propriety unless you give
them carrion to get drunk on.-Dr.
Woods Hutchinson as quoted in The
Survey.

FIVE ACES DISASTROUS

In some states it is considered ex-
tremely unhealthful to hold more than
four aces in a poker contest. In
Arkansas any man finding five acres in
his hand will do well to do his best to
keep it to himself and be careful about
not saying anything about it to anyone
outside of his own immediate family.
The condition of Edward Wolfe of
Blytheville, Ark, now in the Peoples
hospital a razor bruise from ear to
ear, is enough to convince anyone OF
the truth of the above statement. In
an argument following the display of
five aces by Wolfe in a poker bout
near the Missouri line, Wolfe was in
jured under the chin. 1t is thought
that his five aces may prove fatal.
Needless to say. he has resolved to
play bridge with feeble old women
when seeking amusement at the gam
ing table hereafter.

STORIES OF THE ANIMALS
A NOVEL SCHEME

Chicken thieves have no chance
with a friend of mine who lives in
Paris, Ill.," asserted ]. b. Burritt of
that city at the Shoreham.
He has a unique scheme. He was
bothered by rats and hawks in his hem
neries and sometimes human maraud-
ers would make a raid and carry off
his fowls. Finally he hit on plan of
placing several parrots in cages in his
barnyard. These birds seemed to
know what was expected of them and
they turned out to be better guardians
of the fowls than bulldog would have
been. Whenever hawk swooped down
from the sky in an attempt to make
raid on the chickens the parrots set up
a great clamor and scared the birds of
prey away. 1t was the same with the
rats. They wouldn't come near when
the parrots were on duty. Human
thieves knew better after one or two
experiences with the parrots, for when
ever a person entered the chicken
yards the parrots made it known

WIND ON THE RYE

There is green on the hill, there is gold
on the river,
And the wind on the rye sets my spirit
a-quiver.
There's a thrill in the sod
At the touch of the God,
And a song in Iny heart for the gift
and the Giver.
Now the grief that for days to my
heart has been clinging
Is gone down the wind on the wings of
the singing.
The old sorrows die
In the dance of the rye,
And the joy of the world in my spirit is
springing!

AMONG PAPUAN cANNIBALS

It is we'll known that New Guinea
is the home of cannibalism, and that
the natives have murderous tendencies
of a pronounced kind. Yet it may

ordinary settler or traveller in Papua
is rather safer than in Sydney or
Melbourne You could not, in Sydney,
sleep on your veranda or in house
that has no doors to speak of and Win
dows that are never shut. You could not,
If you are a woman, wander alone at

DON'T FEAR YOUR CONVICTIONS

One of the things women must learn
before they will be taken seriously is
that they must stand back of their
own statements.
A man knows his opinion is not
worth uttering, much less writing, if
he is afraid to affix his name to it.
You seldom hear a man say: Il do
not wish my name mentioned in the
matter; If you do, as rule you can
put the speaker down as weak man.
But more than half the conversation
between women begins: Don't say
told you, but" They also will take
the trouble to write long, anonymous
letters to people, or to the publishers
of periodicals, differing with them on
some subject to which the writer has
been courageous enough to affix his
name.
If you feel that a certain thing
should be said, say it, but don't dodge
afterward. You may be mistaken.
Your theory may not work out. You
may change your mind afterward, but
for that once stand by your guns.
If you can't subscribe to choice
morsel of scandal, don't retail 1t. Only
a coward hides behind. "They say"
Make up oyur mind to say or write
only what you are perfectly willing to
stand for and you will find that your
mind will broaden and your heart Will
grow full to bursting with charity Tor
your fellowmen.-EXchang

THE COLD YOUNG LAWYER

Mrs. Sol Smith, the veteran actress,
whose eightieth birthday was cele-
brated by dinner of the Professional
Women's league in New York, said of
the modern spirit at this dinner:
"The modern spirit is more mercen-
ary than the spirit of the fifties. I
know a very beautiful girl-in my day
she'd have been married off at 1S-
but, though she is now 25, her matri-
monial prospects are dark and gloomy.
"At a tea I pointed the beautiful
creature out to young lawyer, and
said:
"'There's nothing sweeter and love-
lier than that girl in America Why
don't you try for her hand"
"'What has she got in it?' the young
lawyer coldly answered"

Paul A. Sorg, who recently drove
four-in- hand from New York to At
lantic City, a distance of 1S4 miles,
has, like SO many rich young society
men. a hatred of snobbishness.
"Sorg," said a member of the Knick-
erbocker club, "called one afternoon at
the house of nouveau richie. A card
tray stood in the drawing room, and
on top was the card of an English
duke. Sorg, waiting for his hostess
to descend took this card and quiet
ly stuck it under the carpet.
"a week or two later he called again.
The dukes card was back in its place.
It had been carefully scraped and
cleaned. Sorg put it behind mirror.
But it was found again, and though
afterward he hid it in flower pots and
vases and coal scuttles, it always
turned up, scrubbed clean and care
fully dried, on the top of the card

RICKSHAW AN AMERICAN IDEA
Yankee Is Credited With First Concep-
tIon Of Vehicle Now SO Popular
In the East.

Twenty years or SO ago when rail-
ways in Japan were yet few and motor
cars undreamed Of the common method
of travel for natives and foreigners
alike was the rickshaw.
Horses were scarce and of indiffer-
ent quality, the bicycle had hardly
made its appearance in the far east,
so practically the only means Of get
ting about the country away from the
main line of the railway between
Toxic and Hiogo was in the modified
perambulator which is known all over
the world as the rickshaw.
There are a number of versions of
its invention and to whom credit
should be given for it. The Japanese
themselves claim 1t for paralytic old
gentleman of Kyoto, who some time
before 1868, finding his palanqin un-
comfortable took to little cart in
stead. The usual foreign account
adopted by Mr. Black, the author of
Young Japan" is that an American
named Goble, half cobbler and half
missionary. was the person to suggest
the idea Of glOrifed go-cart some
where about 1857.
