Mrs. Martha Woodlind has be-
lieved in woman suffrage for 80
years. She has five children, all
of whom are married except one.
She also has husband who has
never been able to get more than
1000 year out of the farm.
Mrs. Woodlind' has never made
a suffrage speech, and would die
before she would wear trousers
or heave brick through q store
window. In other words, Mrs.
Woodlind is not militant.
She has always done her own
washing and has spent countless
hours wedding the garden. Her
knuckles are large and her face
is covered with wrinkles. She
does not want to be mayor of the
town or president of the United
States.
She thinks, however, that
women ought to vote the same as
men. She thinks it would be bet
ter for the women and the coun-
try.

fore the senate committee which
is probing campaign contributions.
He said Henry Clay Frick and

don said:
THE week before the election
in 1904, B. B. Odell, the New
York state chairman, asked Cor
nelius N. Bliss. then national
treasurer for money for the New
York state campaign. Bliss had
no money, so he saw Hartman,
who raised $230.000, which was
turned over to the committee.
Roosevelt knew nothing of this
until after the election"

The persistency of Deputy Sheriff
Morris in remaining on the coun-
try estate of Patrick Calhoun,
millionaire traction magnate, to
effect a settlement of a $1,000
mechanics lien in favor of John
Graw, is embarrassing Miss Mar
tina Calhoun. To relieve the stu
alton, attorneys for Calhoun here

Morris from lounging about the

Roosevelt's whole bias Is wrong.
He is more Hamiltonian than
Hamilton. No, public man since
the government was formed has
treated the constitutional limIta-
lions so contemptuously. Did he
not show in Chicago that he IS
more interested in obtaining
office for himself than in advanc-
ing reforms? Could he not have
nominated anyone of a number
of progressives-why did he re-
fuse to stand aside?

Sheriffs Lose Out.

That Sherifi'S are not entitled to ten per
interest added to taxes collected after
January ! and that they must turn into
the county treasury fifteen per cent OF the
emoluments of the office after the total
receipts aggregate 5000, is the opirion
OF the State Supreme Court written by
President Henry Brannon in the case oi
Nease against Smith, sheriff of Kanawha
county.
The case settled was that Of Nease VS.
Smith, sheriff of Kanawha county, in which
are involved the right of the sheriff to ten
per cent interest added to taxes not paid
until after January l, whether the sheriff
is entitled to five or seven and one-halt
cents for collecting road taxes, and
whether he is compelled to turn into the
county treasury IS per cent of the emolu-
ments of his office after they had reach
ed 5000.
The Supreme Court held against the
sheriff on the interest and fifteen per cent
points and alowea the sheriff the seven
and one-half per cent for collecting road
taxes.
The settling of the interest question
will result in about $4,000 being turned
back by the sheriffs into the county treas
uries. The question of discount was no
involved in this suit and therefore still re.
mains to be settled by the court.

Reading Aloud.

There is one form Of entertainment and
instruction which is within the reach OF
every home.
Reading aloud from some good book,
magazine, or newspaper. II may be a
funny story or an interesting romance, a
good sermon, or bit of news. Anything,
everything so the hearers are edited, in
structed or amused.
The one who can read best, at first had
better do the reading; the rest SIT around
and listen. After dinner or in the even
ing or at any other time when il is con-
venient. But sooner or later every one
should take turn at the reading.
The world is full of excellent magazines.
Books are very cheap. The father or
mother who have quit reading such things
can do no better than to join this reading
circle. A dash of sentiment or romance
won't hurt any one.
No more beautiful or inspiring sight can
Oe lIIldSlilCO tiIdH idiiIur SatiiSiNo oiOdhN
in a reading circle, one member reading.
II is instructive to the ones who listen and
an excellent development to the one who
reads. To read well and fluently is the
highest form of accomplishment. II can
only be acquired by constant parctice.
Reading aloud every day little.
Where father and mother, daughter and
son, laugh together at the same amusing
anecdote, or are touched with sympathy
by some pathetic story = where such
things occur happiness and prosperity
are always certain to be found.
Better than the theatre, more conducive
TO home fraternity and harmony than the
most brilliant lecture.
A home reading circle. Read some
thing in which all members are einterested
| II is a habit very easily formed. the value
of which can scarcely be overestlmafed

are always and only your own, that you
need not grieve for those that show their
brightness only by day. There is the
jewel of Consideration, that you may
wear just over your heart; there is The
moonstone of Hope, that may glitter over
your brow, filling your eyes with bright
ness; there is that brilliant stone OF Sym
pathy, the emerald, that makes you put
out your right hand OF help; and there is
the beautiful one of Loving Kindness,
that makes the left hand help the right.
But above all, overshadowIng all, pinning
down your tresses is the diamond OF true
Love-love which endurtth all, Suffereth
all, hopeth all. Are not these better than
Jewel, dug out of the earth ? For, indeed
these Jewels come from the heavens

Do you remember how. from the fence
corner, on summer morning in hsying-
time, there used TO come a clear. sweet
call, 20 Bob White Bob White I" with
always the same pause between the
words and the accent on "White" ? And
do you also remember the cold, rainy
day when you were coming home with
the COWS and saw something stir by the
old stone wall. and when you looked
discovered, under some burdocks, doz-
en- little, shiveri-g, bedraggled balls OF
feathers, which you took home and dried
by the fire How lively they were. how
much quicker on their feet than chickens
of the same agel And what flavor of
wildness they had, like papooSes or pic
aninnies or flock Of 1eady-eyed Japan

But what you thought of when you
heard that call was not the sweetness OF
it, nor the gentleness Of the bird that
made it, but the good cunning you were
going to have that autumn. Others, all
over the Southern and Middle and East
ern States thought the same thing; and
when the cool days came, an army pour
ed out OF the cities with shot-guns and
well-trained dogs TO make war on the
gentIest friend the farmers OF America
ever had.
The call from the fence corner is sell
dom heard to-day, and an unpaid helper.
who earned as much as any hired man,

during the summer your little TREND was
busy ten or twelve hours day removing
cutworms, cabbage-butterflieS, cotton
boil weevils, chinch-bugs, squaSh-bugs,
Hessian flies, carpet beetles and potato
bugs; or thIt during the winter, instead
of Hanging round," like the nired man,
he was picking the seeds OF rag-weed,
crab-grass, chickweed. plantain, pigeon
grass and other noxious plants. In Tex
as, one hundred boil wevils make him
only a fair breakfast. In Pennsylvania,
he feels that one hundred potato-ougS
will no more than stay his stomach until
he can get something TO eat. In Kansas,
his favorlte luncheon is twelve hundred
chinch-bugs, in Nebraska, two thousand
HeSsian flies. The number OF seeds that
he requires for meal is prodigious.
From one thousand to five thousand is
not uncommon, and in the winter nearly
all are the seeds of plant enemies of the
farmer.

Group.


There are several affections that are
commonly called Group. some OF which
are of comparatively slight moment,
whereas others are more serious in char
acter. Any affection efthe larynx, indeed,
occurring in childhood and accompanied
by a peculiar cough, which once heard
can always be recognized, but which is
hard to describe. is called Group The
most common kind is a simple catarrhal
Inflammation of the larynx. This in
adults is called laryngitiS, and is not usu-
ally serious-at least, it seldom causes
any difficulty in breathing.
The child's vocal cords, however, read
lily become swollen and obstruct the
breathing, and there is likely to be more
or less nervous spasm to interfere still
further with the passage of air. The
trouble usually begins as simple cold i"
the head, and then, extending down into
the throat, causes hoarseness, slight sore
throat and hoarse cough. The trouble
is usually worse at night, the child has
more or less constant hoarse or ringing
cough, and in some cases there is spas
modic difficulty in breathing. The breath
is short, and has wheeling inspiration
that alternates with the cough. The child
is frightened, sits up in bed, and some
times has an attack of commissions.
There may be two or three of these
croupy attacks in the night, or one may
occur each night for several nights in Sue
cession. They seldom or never occur in
the daytime, but the child is hoarse, and
coughs more or less. The attacks are not
often dangerous, but they have most
alarming appearance, and frighten the
mother or nurse as much as they do the
child. The mother must not betray this
alarm to the small patient, for. that will
only tend to increase his panic and to
make the spasm OF the larnyx more Sc
we're.
The room should be quiet, and not too
brightly lighted. The child should have
cloths wrung out of water as hot as he
can bear applied to his neck. and may be
made to breathe the steam from pitcher
of hot water into which has been put
teaspoonful Of compound tincture OF ben
zoin. In mild cases that in itself may
suffice to quiet the attack; in any case it
may may be resoted to until the doctor
comes. In severe cases sedative drugs
may be required, which of course should
be given only by direction of the physi-
clan. When Group occurs frequently the
child may need tonics and course of
hygienic treatment designed to correct its
tendency to "catch cold"
