WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

her own way;
She'll cry out her eyes If she don't.
I'm willing, myself to give her ev'ry
chance.
To see If she will what she won't.
It's funny, perhaps; and. perhaps, II is
not;
But I, who know woman, dare say:
She will vote for a big whiskered man
any time
You viii let her have her little way.
l know how she is for I've had quite a
few,
And Chico can scold for an age;
But, let her ego to IT" and patience

You'll find kindness after rage
She smothered us all and mothers the

SO don't let us lose our respect;
If she wants to vote and TO officer

The MODERN NEWSPAPER.

Andrew Carnegie says that the most
important thing i'm the world is the
cheapest-a newspaper. 1t is a marvel
to him, as it Is TO many others, how
a complete newspaper containing the
news Of the world, can be issued so
cheaply.
The modern newspaper Is a Won
derful institution. Thousands OF men
and women are constantly working for
it They dwell in all lands and are
on duty at every hour Of the day and
night. A million eyes are observing
and reporting events in order that the
reader may know the record OF the
previous day The telegraph wires are
laden with news Into a hopper goes
the product Of human brains-corres-
pondence. local happenings editorial
views, sporting and local Intelligence
all gathered with an industry that Is
tireless. When II all comes out Of the
hopper upon the printed pages II rep
resents the best effort Of those who are
purveyors Of news for the public.
The trouble Is, always, that the
space Of a paper Is limited by a GER
tain number Of pages and columns,
while the amount Of matter that Of
fers itself for publication ~ endless.
Never was anything falser than the
notion that a newspaper needs some
thing TO fill up" The task Is 90 find
space in which 20 print the large guam
tity OF material which piles upon the
desk. And when the thousands Of
words have been read and edited, the
wonder is that there are so few errors
In print. Working constantly under
tremendous strain, written sentences
being converted into type In the
twinkling OF an eye, the necessity OF
haste always hanging over newspaper
men like Damocles's sword-amid all
this pressure. the proportion OF mac
curacy Is so small that an error is the
exception rather than the rule.

REASONS FOR PRIDE.

There was present at a certain big
dinner in England many years ago an
American woman OF prominence who
was somewhat annoyed by a tactless
Englishwoman who undertook to ban
ter her and who said:
Il take IL for granted that you have
no coats of arms in your new coun-
try"
"Of course no American family could
have one unless 1t was borrowed from
English ancestry" replied the former
American.
For instance has your family any
especial cause for pride over your
grandfather" persisted this particu-
larry tactless female cad.
Then the American woman opened
up and replied as calmly as possible
under the circumstances, mot much,
perhaps, only that my grandfather on
my mothers side received Burgoynes
sword when he surrendered at Sarato-
ga and my grandfather on my fathers
side received the sword of CORVALLIS
at Yorktown"

PRIZES FOR INVENTIONS.
Substantial Rewards for Those Who
Devise Humanitarian Appliances.

Devise Humanitarian Appliances.
The inventors of guns and those who
have exercised their talents i'm improv-
ing destructive war materials have
often been richly rewarded in this and
other countries But. if anyone in our
own country has received reward for
the invention or perfection of appar-
atus to lessen the sufferings of sick
and wounded in war; no one has ever
heard of it. Naturally: therefore. prog
ress in this direction has not been as
notable as it might have been. To their
honor be 1t said. that this condition of
affairs has never operated to deter the
medical officers of our army and navy
from doing. without hope of material
reward, all i'm their power to improve
existing apparatus and to invent new
appliances. Conditions in other coun-
tries have been similar TO ours.
Some years ago, in order To better
conditions i'm this respect. the Dow
ager- Empress of Russia. Marie Feo-
dorovna, established a prize fund con
sisting of 100000 roubles (approxi-
mately, $5O.O0OOO). This is for the
purpose Of encouraging inventions hav-
ing for their purpose the amelioration
of the sufferings of sick and wounded
in war. Every five years on the oc-
casion of the -quennial Interna-
tional Red Cross Conferences, the in
terest on the fund, amounting to about

We are so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic 1t may be, that
we offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should Il fail to produce sat

IL is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause a reaction,
irrtate, and weaken the bowels tend to
make constipation more chronic. Be-

Constipation is caused by a weak

Harrison himself entertains the bee.

municipal projects Of his own. He is
no longer merely content with mega
tive good such as his opposition ten
years ago to Yorkes. He is going
ahead 20 build subways in Chicago. and
announces a plan whereby the city Is
