Tom Gordon, lately home from A fu1I
half-year spent in the unfettered soil
tudes of the Carriso iron fields. To bo
married first, and afterward to start
up-with Caleb for superintendent-the
idle Chiawassee plant as a test and en-
detrimental shop for American Aoue-
duct, was indemnifying himself for tha
long exile.
On this Saturday evening in the low
ers' month of June he had walked Ar
dea around and about through the fra
grant summer wood of the upper creek
valley, retracing, in part, the footsteps
of the boy whose fishing had been
spoiled and the little girl who was m
be bullied into submission: and 30
rambling they had come at length to
the old moss grown foot-log which had
been newly-felled tree in the former
time. Tom went first across the rustic
bridge, holding the hand of ecstatic
thrillings, and pausing in mid-passage
that he might have excuse for holding
1t the longer.
1t was during the mld-passage pause,
and while she was looking down on the
swirling waters sometime OF terrifying,
that Miss Dabney said:
How deep is 1t, Tom? Would real
ly have drowned if you and Hector had
not pulled me out?"
ITS thankless thing to spoil an
idyl, but you could have waded out"
She made the adorable little grimace
which was one OF the survivals Of the
yesterdays, and suffered him to lead
her across.
And I have always believed that I
owed my life to you-and Hectorl" she
said. reproachfully.
You owe me much more than that"
he affirmed broadly, when they had sat
down to rest-they had often to do this,
lest the way should prove shorter than
the happy afternoon-on the end of the
bridge log.

Mrs. Labaree talks in an interesting
manner of the suffragette movement
in Colorado. She says it is frequently
the case that the husband votes with
his wife instead of the wife with the
husband.
You know lots of people say that
there Is no use for woman to vote"
she said, for she always votes as her
husband does. This Is not the case.
Women are becoming more and more
interested in all legislation and the Of
fees are filled. by both good men and
good women. Candidates feel the i'm
portance of making a thorough can.
Vass among the wives and daughters
as well as among the men"
When asked whether or not women
use their right to vote, Mrs. Labaree
said that only two of the $40 who reg
istered IN her home town failed to
vote.
One noticeable change in the old
order of things" she said 'is that
election day is as quiet as can be.
The polls are clean and there is No
drinking nor swearing. Women have
been voting in the state for IA years,
They are not partisans. They will
scratch. They say they are for the
individual, not for the party. Our

tinguished members such women as
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mrs. j. P. Nor
gan, Mrs. F. G. Havermeyer, Mrs. AL
bert Lewisohn Mrs. j. Borden Harrl-
man, Mrs. Philip M. Lydig and Mrs.
Clarence Mackay. Doctor Hutchinson
said in part:
THE best thing for this country Is
to get rid of our useless socalled
such thing as an 'aristocracy' here. 1t
is the most arrant piece of nosense for
any one to claim that there is an arts
tocracy of old families or strains OF
the best blood here.
The truth is that there isn't an
'aristocratic' family in this country
that couldn't be produced in so years
If all the present members were to
die out-from the so-called lower
classes
Il am not sure but that the strain
produced by the lower classes would
be better than that of the present
'aristocracy.' This latter class, by the
way, usually assists the declmalloh
of their number by drink and other
vices"
Doctor Hutchinson, by the way, was
born in England, though most of his
life has been spent in Iowa. A few
years he came east and took up his
residence in New York city, where he
lives at present. He is a popular
writer on diseases, possessing that
rare literary ability of being able to
make even a description of germs
seem so interesting that the or
binary reader is anxious for more
of it, please" He is a strong believer
in prevention rather than cure, which
is claimed by many to be the proper
function Of the physician.
