Knishthood For Women.

It Is not az all well known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies received the accolade, and many
more were members OF such knightly
orders ms the Garter and st. John.
When Mary Chomondeley, "the bold
lady OF Cheshire" was knighted by
Elizabeth for cher valiant address"
on the queen taking command at the
threatened invasion by Spain, did she
know that a whole city OF Spanish wo-
men. the gallant women OF Tortosa.
had been knighted for saving that city
from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth
had both been knighted at their coro-
nation, but by the time Anne, the
second Mary and Victoria assembled
the throne 1t had been quite forgotten
that, according to English law and
use. a woman who fllled'a mans office
acquired all its privileges and was Inn
mune from none Of Its duties.-London

Unknown Person Got Away With
Two Little Pigs

Two young pigs were stolen from
the piggery at the Soldiers Home on
Thursday night and up to the pres
ent' time no trace Of the thief has
been discovered. The porkers were
only three weeks old and it was
therefore easy for the thief to get
away without discovery A lantern,
which was apparently used by the
thief in making his selection from the
litter of pigs, was found not far away.

HIS ASSOCIATIONS FORBADE BE-
LIEF.-n good story reaches us by o
friend which shows the possible re-
suits of association with men whose
personal characteristics are we'll
known to the general public. A wo-
man while on her death bed, in TAX
ing final leave of her husband said:
=" Dear hubby, I now must leave you,
and I can die happy if you grant
me last request" Certainly, my
DEAR" responded the husband, "I
will do precisely as you wish, what
ever it may be-" "Oh, thanks dear;
it is that you will never marry
again. The request is granted, "
was the immediate reply. Twill rever
marry again" The dying wife closed
her eyes, and smile of ineffible hap
piness spread over her countenance as
the Pickering spark of life was about
to expire. but she revived .or q
moment as q final thought passed
through her mind and she exclaimed:
But hubby, / am sorry to say can
not believe you; you have associated
with Roosevelt and Cummings too
long for you to keep a promise" and
she passed over with mind still
'clouded by misgivings.

A Religious Forward Movement.

If an opinion of the scope of the
Mems Religious Forward Movement
is TO be formed by the announcement
SO far made, it will cover severa! de-
tails entrusted to many subdivisions.
At a meeting held in the NJ. E.
Church, Wednesday night, r. H.
Hogue presided and Lincoln Louns-
berry acted as Secretary. Many
committees are out and only a por-
ton of their reports were submitted
and it is expected that the others
will be in the hands of the Executive
Committee, which will meet next
Wednesday night.
1t seems that list of questions
will have to be answered containing
all the data required before an Or
ganizatiOn can be effected and q
campaign started.
There are six subdivisions in the
Executive Committee of thirty men,
bers, each subcommittee containing
five members. According to expec-
tations the Mems Religious Forward
Movement work will be taken up in
May or June. There are six men in
charge Of it in Seattle and they will
be sent here at that time to take
charge here, and there are six diff
ferent branches along which the
work will be conducted as follows:
Evangelical, Bible Study, Social Ser
vice. Boys Work, Missions and Aux
iliary Towns.
This statement gives very little
idea of the extent of the work except
to establish the belief that it will
have several very large jobs on hand,
but then in union there is strength,
if it is managed with care and in q
true Christian spirit.

PHOSPHORUS MATCH BILL PASSES. -
The bill by Representative Hughes,
Of New Jersey. virtually taking out
of existence the phosphorus match
industry in the United States, was
passed by the House after heated
debate. The vote was 160 to 30.
The high death-rate among workers
in the phosphorus match factories OF
the country inspired the bill. Be-
sides imposing prohibitive tax on
phosphorus matches, heavy fines and
penalties are provided for violators
Of the law. The expectation or
importation of matches also is for
hidden. The main features of the
law will so into effect on July l,

The Judges O: the Pierce county
Superior Court are considerably an
noyed about lawyers and parties
having jury cases set for trial. and
then when the time arrives for the
hearing find the suits have been set
tied, leaving the court and jury with
out anything to do, at great expense
to the county. While the Judges
believe it is praiseworthy to adjust
legal controversies, think they should
be advised in advance Of these set
Elements, in order to arrange the
work for keeping the jury employed
and get through with the work and
let the jurors 60 home. Often indi-
vidual jurors do not fancy drawing
down money from the public treas
ury without rendering some equiva-
lent; they would rather be ut work
than loaf about the streets. If the
parties concerned were compelled to
bear the extra expense this abuse
would be reduced to o minimum.
The STANDARD understands it is no
fault of the presiding Judges. and If
remedied must be done by legisla-
ton,

WOmans Plan for Self-PrOtectiOn

Seattle has introduced n new meth
cd to get even with, or perhaps con

ply to advertise for some one of tn,
hosts of unemployed to take jolt

personal in one of the town papers,
lately inaugurated job which worked
successfully from start to finish. 1t
was after Mrs. Gillais had appealed in
vain to the mayor, the police and the
public prosecutor, that she resOrted
TO the unusual plan Of hiring a body
guard to protect her from brutal as
saults of her husband. The response
was immediate, and soon there ap-
peared husky applicant at her door
whose neck tie was considerably larg-
er than his hat band. prominent
chin, and two enormous fists the
size of picnic hams siung to a fathom
or more of arm. He was invited
into the parlor, and soon hubby en-
tered totally obliviouS of the arrange
ments that had been made for his re-
ception. Here he is. said Mrs. G.
but before beginning let me say
don t break his glasses and don t bung
him up too much; just choke him good
and hard; slap his face; give him
few hard kicks, and throw him on the
floor. That's the way he beats me,
and l want him to see how it feels"
During this highly interesting COLO
guy the hubby stood as if frozen in
his tracks. When the word to 60
was given, he was wakened with o
jar as hairy right paw fastened on
his Adams apple and ringing slaps
rent the air. Gillais did not have
chance. His tympanum tingled to
beat the band and he was impressed
with the fact that a No. 10 shoe fast
ened to foot the size of coal scuttle
is elevating we'll as effective. At in
tervals the executioner paused to ap-
peal to his employer for instruc-
ton. At length Mrs. G. thought
her husband had been punished suffi-
GENTLY and signaled for the battering
ram to cease, and dug down into her
travelling bag for a couple of VS. and
handed them to her expounder with
most gracious thanks and a promise
of recall should another treatment be
needed.
AFTER the athlete had departed o
constant stream of applicants for tine
job appeared, showing that the sup
ply was likely to equal the demand.

dismissed with the assurance: Why
you wouldn't do. I could whip you

Mrs. Gillais if she did not know she
