AND WHY
THE WOMEN FIGHT

HE has made her, If married, in
the eye Of the law civilly dead.
He has taken from her all right
in property, even to the wages she
earns.
'He has so framed the laws of di-
yorce as to what shall be the prop,
er causes, and in case of separa-
ton, to whom the guardianship of
the children shall be given, as to
be wholly regardless of the happi-
ness of the woman.
After depriving her of all rights
as a married woman. if single, and
the owner Of property, he has taxed
her to support a government which
recognizes her only when her prop
erty can be made profitable to it,"
He has created false public
sentiment by giving to the world a
different code of morals for men
and women, by which moral delin.
quencies which exclude women
from society are not only tolerated
but deemed of little account in
| man.
He has usurped the prerogative
of Jehovah himself, claiming it as
his right to assign for her sphere
of action, when that belongs to her
conscience and to her God.
He has endeavored. in every
way that he could. to destroy her
confidence in her own powers, to
lessen her self-respect and to make
her willing to lead a dependent
and abject life"

The suffrage movement has de-
veloped into a real cause" 1t has
it's banners. it's emblem, buttons,
postcards, flower, color, slogans
and war songs.
The international movement has
as it's emblem woman holding
balanced scales before back
ground Of the rising sun. 1t bears
the Latin motto Jus suffragil"
(the right of suffrage).
The stamp of the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association
has the balanced scales of justice
with the four stars for the four
states where women have won the
vote-Idaho. Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado-and the motto 40 AKA
ton Without Representation Is
Tyranny" The button, also deco
rated with four stars. bears the
legend Votes for Women" The
postcard shows woman, Haunting
the yellow suffrage banner.
The reason for the suffrage yell
low is Kansas. When Kansas gave
municipal suffrage to women in
1887, the yellow of the Kansas
state emblem, the sunflower, was
adopted by the national associa-
ton.
The English suffragets have a
flag Of horizontal purple, white and
green stripes. The suffrage slogan
is: Votes for Women" Here's
another slogan:
For the long work day,
For the taxes we pay,
For the laws we obey,
We want something to say!"
Here are some of the grievances
In woman's declaration of indie
pendence adopted in 1S4S at Sen
eca Falls. N. Y. and drawn by
Elizabeth Cady Stanton:
The history of mankind is a
history of repeated injuries and
usurpations on the part of man
towards woman. having in direct
object the establishment of an alb
solute tyranny over her.
He has never permitted her to
exercise her inalienable right to
the elective franchise.
"He has compelled her to submit
to laws In the formation of which
she has had no voice.
HE has withheld from her rights
which are given to the most ig-
norant and degraded men.

HOW TO CARE
FOR SILVERWARE

Silver Is a beautiful and durable
ware whether solid or plated, but
it's continued beauty depends upon
the care given it by its owner.
First, it must be washed care.
fully Immediately after using, No
plate powder will remove scratches
caused by careless mixture of the
different pieces. 1t is of great i'm
portance to wash the pieces sep.
arately in soap and hot water, rims.
ing them in hot water, and polish
with fine soft linen towel. When
treated in this way consistently,
plate requires very little use of
powder.
Many of the "silver polishes" on
the market are mercurial In nature
and act quickly in cleansing and
polishing, but the silver furnishes
quickly after their use. Gas black
ems silver left exposed to the air
very quickly.
An old cleansing process is the
use of water in which Irish pota-
toes, with jackets on" have been
boiled. 1t will cleanse delicately
chased and engraved pieces better
than powder, which settles In the
depressions. Spoons and forks,
which have become stained with
eggs should be boiled In this water.
rinsed in clear hot water, and when
dried will be found brighter than
ever.
Here is an old and tried recipe
for silver polish. which may be
made at home: Rub 20 n fine pow
der one pound of the best whiting.
and sift 1t. Mix together four
ounces spirits of turpentine. two
ounces spirits wine, one ounce spir-
its camphor, one.half ounce spirits
hartshorn. Add whiting gradually
to tho liquid. mixing thoroughly un.
til the consistency of cream. Put
into large bottle and cork tightly,
tying the cord down. When it Is
wanted for use, shake. pour out a
portion into bowl, and with a
soft, clean sponge cover the silver
entirely with 1t. Let dry for 10
minutes. Then brush OFF and pol.
ish with chamois. This is an OK
cellent polish and harmless.

The Diplomat went down the long
stone steps with a sigh of relief.
All Gravaria was awaiting the
kings birthday on the morrow.
Since he was supposed to know, the
Diplomat had just been rigidly
cross-examined as to his majesty's
inclination in the matter of gifts.
Protesting that he knew not
whether the royal penchant was
for pearl links or orchids, he had
fled.
The cool night air blew in his
face with a pleasant tang of win
ter. Instead of turning toward his
apartments he went in the opposite
direction. His long stride carried
him forward rapidly. Ahead rose
the spire of the Church of the
Sacred Heart. 1t was retired, set
ting back from the street among
tall shade trees. The Diplomat
saw a man enter at the iron gate,
another followed him, then another.
In the space of three minutes, six
men entered at the gate.
Two men stood guard at the
church entrance. AS the Diplomat
waited. a seventh man approached.
He displayed a gold coin and was
admitted. AS the passport was ex-
amined by the men at the entrance,
the Diplomat saw it was pierced in
the middle.
He slipped quietly back through
the trees, as he had come. After
some trouble he succeeded in pierre
ing with his knife gold piece.
Pulling down his hat and comforting
his features in a remarkable man
ner, even diminishing his height by
a peculiar stoop of the shoulders, he
went through the iron gate. To
the two watchers he displayed his
coin, and was admitted. AS he en-
tered the church, he saw to his
right small confessional. He
slipped in and shut the door.
Through the grating he could count
40 men seated in the middle aisle.
Before them, at table, were three
others. The one in the middle had
boyish, delicate face. At sight of
him the Diplomat gave start of
surprise.
One man rose and spoke, others
followed. The Diplomat could catch
nothing of what they said; their
tones were low and guarded.
The largest of the men at the
table got on his feet, heavy fellow
with a black beard. He fumbled in
a leather bag in front of him and,
with a grandiose flourish, set upon
the head of the boyish man in the
middle a crown in the form of a
gold circlet.
"The king. The king" shouted
the 40 men.
The bells of the church chimed
twelve. BY ones and twos the 40
began to leave. The three who had
sat at the table came last. The fell
low with the black beard carried
the leather bag. The kiplOmat

The Diplomats Present
Evening Story for the F anaily Circle

slipped out of the confessional at
their heels.
They walked rapidly for several
blocks. A covered automobile was
awaiting them. They stepped In
and the machine glided away. With
a long, swinging pace the Diplomat
followed them at run. He hailed
cab, jumped in, and bowled along
in the wake of the silent machine.
He was only block behind when
the automobile stopped at those
royal apartments where the king
himself sometimes stays in winter.
The three were advancing to the
entrance when the fellow with the
beard turned He received the cut
of the Diplomats cane across the
face. The suddenness of the attack
caused him to drop the bag. When
the smallest of the three tried to
interfere, he was slashed across the
brow. The Diplomat stopped,
picked up the bag, and was gone.
At 10 o'clock the king held his
levee, when he thanked in kingly
way those whom he had permitted
to give him PRESENTS for his birth
day. With sigh of relief he
turned to the Diplomat as the last
hopeful donor was ushered out.
The latter sat on a low, carved
chair. From between his knees
he picked up leather bag and be-
gan slowly to open it. "My pres
ent, your majesty he explained.
THE crown of the new king who
was acclaimed last night"
AS he spoke he drew out circlet
of gold. The little king, paling,
looked at him with startled eyes.

The Diplomat slipped into the
recess of window. A young man
with a boyish face entered. With
him was a burly fellow with a
black beard.
| "Your highness-"
The little king stopped him with
bitter frown. See, brother" he
said, holding up the circlet of gold.
"a unique birthday gift"
The young man, white to the
lips, started back, giving an inco-
herent exclamation. He threw
himself significantly before the
king. ut was but play, brother.

had retreated with frightened
oath. From his place of conceal

BY GEORGE JACOB SPINNER.

Once more fell the shades of night,
Hiding everything from sight,
Then his mamma to him said,
"Tousel, dear, it s time for bed"
In twinklng he undressed,
Ready for a good night S rest;
Then Wink and Blink so sly,
While behind traled Sleepy Eye;
Drouse and Nod, with much ado,
Tripped in then, and Sand Man. too.
Round his head danced this queer band,
AS Sand Man threw his sand;
Drouse and Nod danced on his nose,
Which caused Tousel Head to doze;
Sleepy Eye crawled in his ear,
With the Sand Mans lamp so queer.
High he held that light and said:
CAT last Pm in Tousel's head;
This Ear-cave will lead me to
Where | have some work to do;
All the shutters of his brain
Must be closed cause it might rain;
Ev'ry door must be locked tight,
So he can't forget at night,
And each big and little cell
will fasten tight and well,
Cause ID feel quite sad to find
That this boy had lost his mind;
Then the things he learns each day
Can't get out and run away
All these Elves will visit you,
Now, if you re good boy, too,
And mamma will ne'er feel sad,
Cause her little boy is bad.
