AGED SUFFRAGET STILL

Washington.-When 600, 600 women
STEPPED up to the polls Thu other day
and voted for president 1t Is hardly
likely that many OF them stopped to
think that they owed more to one wo-
man In Washington than to any other
person or group.
Yet such, indeed, was the case, and
the one to whom they should
have felt SO deeply indebted was Mrs.
Belva a. Lockwood, of this city.
Mrs. Lockwood, now SO. commenced
her fight for equal rights away back
In the early fifties, when she was twen-
ty-four years Of age. She has kept Il
up ever since.
Il have not rested since that day"
says Mrs. Lockwood. The fight has
been a hard and furious one against
great aodds, and at times dreadfully
uphill, but we have fruits to show for
the scars of battle. h
We have made great progress. The
stcry OF my hard and long fight for
woman's r~ights--equal rights--gives q

try have had to do.

Frana the Top 81 a Motor Bus.

n y. M Crothers In the Atlantic Monthly
l take comfort in the philosophy
Shich CLEAN from the top OF a Lon
don motor bus. From my point or
vantage ] look down upon pedestrian
humanity az a Superman might look
down upon II. 1t seems to consist OF
a vast multitude of ignorant folk who
are predestined to Immediate annihil-
Ation. AS. the ungainly machine on
which am seated rushes down the
street, II. seems admirably adapted for
its mission OF destruction. The barri-
cade In ront of me. devoted to the
praise Of Bovril. is just high enough to
prevent my seeing what actually hap
pens hut it gives a b~lood-curdling view
OF catastrophes that are imminent. I
have an impression Of a procession Of
innocent victims rushing heedlessly
upon destruction. Three yards in front
OF the on-rushing wheels is an old
gentleman crossing the street. He sud-
denly stops. There is, humanity speak
Ing, no hope for him. Two nursemaids
appear in the field of danger. A butch
eris boy on a bicycle steers directly
Tor n bus. He may be given up for
lost / am not able to see what be-
comes Of them, but / am prepared for
the worst. Still, the expected crunch
does not come and the bus goes on.
On sober rejection 1 come to the
conclusion that l should have taken q
more hopeful view IL I had not been
so nigh up; il, for example, T had been
sitting with the driver, where I could
have seen what happened at the last
moment. - -
There was much comfort in the old
couplet, - " -
Betwixt the saddle and the ground,
He, mercy sought and mercy found.
And, betwixt the pedestrian and the
motor bus, there are many chances of
safety that / could not foresee. The
old gentleman was perhaps more spry
than ne looked. The nursemaids and
the butchers boy must assuredly have
persisted unless they happened to have
their Wits about them. But In ali
probability they did have their wits
about them, and SO did the driver of
the motor bus.

KERN READS
WAsH|NGTON's ADDRESS

Washington, Feb. 22.-In accord
ance with long established custom,
Washington's farewell address was
read in the United States senate to-
day. Senator John w. Kern of In
diana being chosen for the honor.
Many senators have left the capital,
but a large number religiously lis
tened to Mr.. Kern's reading of the
immortal address of the father of his
country"
The prominence of Senator Kern to-
day has brought out a new story about
the Indiana solon. Mr.. Kern went
abroad last autumn, and, in order to
do his part toward dissipating the Eu-
ropean idea that Americans are given
to vulgar display, he donned his most
correct attire on all public occasions
strictly correct, you understand, with
frock coat or swallow-tail and silk hat.
neat but not gaudy. In the frock coat
Senator Kern would pass anywhere
for a minister of the gospel. so sober
is his mien.
An American confidence man in Eu-
rope, looking over the senator, decided
that he was a clergyman and an easy
mark. Approaching him with glad
hands the con" man gushed:
my dear doctor, l am so glad to
meet you. l have often had the pleas
ure of seeing you in the pulpit and Of
listening to your delightful and inter-
esting sermons"
Kern looked the man over with a
cold and calculating eye, and solemnly
replied
Like hell you have!"
The would-be despoiler broke all
speed records in getting away from
the Hoosier statesman.
