ResOurcefuI Woman.

Miss Mary Donnelly, cashier of Mrs.
o. II. r. Belmont's new suffrage
lunchroom" in New York, was prais-
ing during an afternoon lull the re.
sourcefuiness OF her sex.
"Let the antisuffragists beware
she said Woman is bound to get the
vote everywhere She is too resource
full to lose.
How resourceful woman is A girl
sat In train one day with an uncut
magazine in her hand. She wasn't
reading; she couldn't. She was just
lifting apart the edges OF the uncut
leaves and nearly standing on her
head to peer at the text and pictures
within. So an old gentleman across
the aisle took out his knife shyly
but the girl didn't look at him
She kept on peering between her uncut
pages. And finally the old gentleman
opened his knife and reached across
the aisle, but
The girl drew hairpin from her
pretty couture and proceeded to cut
the leaves briskiy
The old gentleman drew back and
his neighbors smiled. thereupon rs
said sotto voce:
I've heard that woman can do
anything with hairpin; but. at any
rate, she can't sharpen pencil with
out penknife
at that moment the girl, still In
tently reading, took a pencil from her
pocketbook, bit three or Sour spiinters
OF wood on the end OF 1t. and calmly
made note on the margin OF hel
magazine"

NORWICH HAS THE OLDEST SENATOR
Avery 66 the Senior in This Legislature Me- Neil 29 of Bridgeport the Other End of the Majority of Only Two in the House.

It will be seen from this that a change of one republican vote in the house would tie the vote and change of two would place the majority party in minority If all the other parties were combined against it.
 Oldest and Youngest.
 It may be of interest to state that the roll shows that the. oldest member of the senate in 1913 is Senator Avery of Norwich, aged 66 years, and the youngest is Senator McNeil of Bridge port, who is 29 years. The oldest and the youngest senators are democrats. Two of the thirty five senators are of foreign birth, one having first opened his eyes to the light of day in Germany and the other in Ireland. The percentage of republicans elected in Hartford county is greater than that of any other county. In New London county 1t was almost a clean sweep for the democrats, the figures being six republicans and twenty four detn- ocrats. It is singular fact that in Windham and New e>ondon counties the same number of democrats and republicans were elected there being in each county eleven of each party.
 In three or four instances the rep resentatives have not replied to the request for data. and Deputy Secre- tary Dwyer has been obliged to take the political designation reported in the nomination papers.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-13

Deputy Secretary of State Richard !. pwyer has received advance proofs of the preliminary manual and roll of the general assembly of the session of is1a This roll is the first official announcement of the political prefer eraces of the members of the two houses. The data from which the roll is made up is furnished by the sen aAors and representatives, so that it can be relied on. There has never been any doubt of the political com- pie1ion of the senate as determined by the election held in November. It has been known positively that the democrats had a majority of seven in the senate and the official roll now completely confirms this opinion.
 Majority Only Two.
 It is in the political preferences of the members of the house of repre- Bentatives that there has been a diff ference of opinion. There has never been a serious doubt of the control Of the house by the republicans. but there has always been a question as to the size of that party's majority. It has been claimed that the majority was as high as six. The majority is only two. This brings it perilously near the vanishing point. The plu- rality is ten. The figures are: Demo- cfats 12O, republicans 130, progressives 6 and progressive republicans 2.
