A Chestnut Burr.

A wee little nut lay asleep in its nest
Of satin and brown, the softest and best,
And slept and grew while its cradle
rocked
AS it hung in the bough that interlocked.
Now, the house was small where the
cradle lay,
As it swung in the wind by night and
day;
For thicket # underbrush fenced it
round!
This lone little cot by the great sun
Drowned.
This little nut grew, and ere long it found
There was work outside on the soft,
green ground.
1t must do its part, so the world might
know
1t had tried one little seed to SOW.
And soon the house that had kept it
warm
Was tossed about by the autumn storm;
The stem cracked, the old house Cell,
And the chestnut burr was an empty

ut IutIot.
1t has been urged by anti-suffragist,
that voting takes up 30 much of a wom-
ans time as to cause her to neglect home,
husband and children. Elections occur
about twice year; l can go to the polls
with my husband early in the porniag,
or walk over in the afternoon; the time
consumed in either case amounting to
from thirty to forty-five minutes, or less
than two hours each year. hardly look
upon that as an extravaganza expenditure
of time. Even campaign workers ex-
pend but little tipe comparatively. The
question of the neglect of household
duties as result of votes for women has
dropped entirely into oblivion in Colorado;
it has settled itself by actual proof.
Women living near often run over to the
polls bareheaded, vote and run back
again, in just as matter-of-fact way as
they would run into neighbours house
to borrow some household necessity. The
voting is sometimes carried on in the
back room of grocery store; then a
woman may vote and afterward order
her days groceries.
That anyone should advance the idea
of women mourning physical danger in
going to the polls and voting seems very
ridiculous to Colorado people. A precinct
is necessarily circumscribed, and the peo-
pie with whom woman comes in contact
in depositing her ballot are her neighbors,
and very likely include some of her init
mate friends. have gone to the voting
place and noted in one of the judges my
next-door neighbor, man of such we'll
known integrity as to decidedly preclude
the possibility of entertaining any fear
whatsoever of him; in one of the clerk s
| found woman friend with whom had
taken luncheon week previous, and
perhaps knew all the others by sight, at
least. When a woman meets rough
characters at the polls she resides in
rowdyish district, and if she finds such a
residence tolerable, she certainly can en-
dure the ordeal of voting twice year in
such environment.
OF this boisterous aspect of politics l
believe women have accomplished
greater reform than they are generally
given credit for. can remember when
the women-folk were cautioned by their
male relatives to remain at home on
election day, not knowing what element
of ri0tousness might be encountered
should they venture forth upon the
streets. am not familiar with present
conditions of the day in non. suffrage
States, but in Colorado, where men and
women are seen mingling together as
openly and frankly as would be the case
at a social gathering, the character Of
election day, and the behavior Of men,
have undergone refining process which
renders congratulation upon the result
highly pertinent.

BOTH CANDIDATES FOR GOVERN
OR DECLARE FOR LOCAL OPTION:

Ok DELLA NE fOh IAutAL OTIIoN'
The Anti-Saloon League announces
that it has received written pledges
from Messrs Goldsborough and Cor
man, Republican and Democratic
candidates for Governor. that if elcc-
ted they will not interfere with its
passage and will sign the Local OPP
ton bill if passed.
They also declare their belief that tn"
people have a right to vote upon
Ill such questions. This takes the
10 M option question out of the Gov
ernorship contest, and leaves the
League free to center upon the lrgis-
lature and force the fight against tn"
corrupt Mahon liquor gang of Balti-
more which has killed the local OPP
ton bill twice, and, not content with
robbing the people OF the right to
vote on the liquor question, has sto-
len votes actually cast on other ques-
tons.
The League does not indorse or
support either candidate for Governor
but leaves every voter in it's constitu-
ency free to vote in accordance with
his own judgment as to his response
bility as a Christian citizen to secure
clean government and promote polit.
ical righteousness. This handling Of
the case relieves the. League from any
charge of partisan unfairness.
Questions will be sent to the legis-
lativc candidates this week and the
declaration in favor of self-govern-
ment by the heads of both tickets
will practically force the Legislative
candidates to do the same in self de-
Tense.

ACRES OF FLOWERS.

California has always been known
as the land of sunshine, fruit and
flowers. At the Panama California
International Exposition to be held
in 1915, at San Diego, the claim Of
the State to prominence in these
lines will be demonstrated. The d.
rectors of the Exposition have deter
mined on vast scale of floral and
horticultural decoration which will
be surprise. and delight to the
average visitor. 1t was found that
to secure the plants required for this
scheme would require a canvas of the
entire country and even then that it
would hardly be possible to secure
the quantity needed by the plans as
formulated. Director-General d. G.
Collier, was not willing to abandon
the plans which had fascinated the
board Of directors and he thought out
a way to the difficulty. 1t was
to use as much of Balboa Park, where
the Exposition is to be held, as might
be needed-all of its 1,4OO acres if
they should be required-for city
farm and nursery, wherein the Ex-
position could propagate the plants
it would require. The city officials
adopted the idea enthusiastically and
80 acres were at once prepared for a
nursery, and two commercial nurscr-
is were bought outright as starter.
Citizens donated cuttings, and for
weeks 100 men were kept busy carry
ing these to the park and setting them
out. Geraniulns, roses and peoples
have been planted 10y the million,
and all kinds Of trees and ornamental
shrubs have been set out in large
.numlers. The Exposition is four
years away, but the floral display is
to hc on n grand scale and the pre-
parations were begun none too soon
to make it success.

POEMS FOR OCTOBER.
October,

Birches now are yellow turning,
Sumac now are growing red,
Maple wears a glory burning
Crimson round her graceful head.
Sturdy oaks are changing slowly
Green for robes of purple brown,
Woodbine flames and milk weed slowly
Fer their dry leaves rustic down.
BY the roadside purple splendor;
Troops of asters everywhere;
Sister golden-rod her tender
Weight of gold again doth bear.
Cunning artist, dear October,
Well we love thy colors fair,
Making all the woodland sober
Glow in garments rich and rare.

Come Little Leaves,

Come Little Leaves.
"COme. little leaves" said the wind one
day,
"Come over the meadows with me and
play; !.
Put on your dresses of red and gold;
Summer is gone and the days grow cold. y
Soon as the leaves heard the winds loud
call,
Down they came fluttering, one and all;
Over the brown fields they >dsnce3ea
flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew.
Dancing and whirling, the little leaves
went,
Winter had called them and they were
content.
Soon, fast asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow lay coverlet over their heads!

OctOber's Party.

October gave party;
The leaves by hundreds came,
The Chestnuts, Oaks and Naples,
And leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread carpet,
And everything was grand;
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed,
The lovely Misses Maple
InJscarlet looked their best.
All balanced to their partners
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and. seek they played;
The party closed at sund6wn
And everybody stayed.
