t4inman's Thrilling Experience.

Last summer N. o. Dean had three heifers frightened by an automobile so that they took to the woods. near Nor folk. where they have been until now. all efforts to get them being unavailing. After following them for several days they have all been captured.
 Raymond Hinman, who was following one, had an exciting experience with it. The heifer. evidently tired of being fol- lowed, turned and with head lowered, and eyes flashing fire. made a rush at Hinman. who, realizing he had no chance to get away, just stood still and catching her by tho head, held on to her until he subdued her, en>taking off his belt he led her home. where she now is, beIng quiet and gentle and looking quite well, considering she has been out through zero, weather. snow, etc., until the mid de of January.

AN AFFLUENT "SREAD-LINE"
Herriman Securities Transferred
 From Equitable Vaults.

Herriman Securities IranSferreo
 From Equitable Vaults.
 MT. and Mrs. A. H. Herriman went to New York few days ago, and trans ferred large amount of securities from their safe deposit vault in the burned Equitable building, to the vaults of the Knickerbocker Trust Go. Their box in the Equitable vault was considerable distance above the floor, and the con- tents escaped the damage by water, which soaked those in the boxes on the lower tiers. The bonds, stocks and other securities were in as good condi- tion as when deposited and suffered no ill effects from the intense heat. water nor smoke.
 An amusing incident in connection with the transfer of securities is related by Mr. Herriman. The process of securing deposit boxes at the Knicker- booker, was necessarily slow, and as there were many applicants, it was necessary for them to form in line to await their turn. At the time MT. Herrlman was in line there were about a hundred men and women lined up on the walk, all carrying packages of val uable securities aggregat1ng many millions of dollars. While the line was at its extreme length, B tipsy, richly dressed gentleman, with bonds and cer- tificates sticking out of every pocket, wabbled up from the Equitable ruins, and seeing the long line of waiting depositors, ejaculated

Suffrage Naws

Senator LaFollette, who has declared himself candidate for the presidency of the United States at the. coming election, in his speech at Carnegie Hall, New York, on Jan. 26. made the follow, ing remarks in favor of woman suffrage !:
 "No one can believe fully in democ. racy without believing in woman suff- rage. The cure for the evils of democ- Nraey is more democracy. We want the referendum, the recall and woman suff. rage. There are 100000 women and girls in the factories and workshops of this country. Surely they should have some say about the hours of labor and factory legislation, and if anyone op- poses their plea, he will be ashamed of his action in the years to come."
 The enthusiasm. with which these words were received, demonstrated the complete sympathy existing between the speaker and his audience.
 On Jan. 16. 1912, word was sent all over the world. that the women of Sweden had been given share in the political life of that country. Every Swede, man or woman, over 24 years of age and not under any legal disability, has the right to vote, On behalf of the government, King Gustav, who opened the Riksdag in person, stated that it was regarded as right and in the best inter ests of the State that women should be placed on equality with men.
 "ThirtY.four presidents of women's clubs in Chicago were lately inter viewed by the Chicago Herald as to their views on woman suffrage; only four were found opposed, two refused to commit themselves, six were indifferent or believed in limited suffrage and twenty-two favored full suffrage for all women.
 The women of Illinois are working with great ardor to procure the fran chise. The reforms which they wish to bring about and which they expect to accomplish when they have obtained & right to voice in their state govern ment are: Better protection for young girls, better chlld labor law, better supervision of employment agencies, protection of women and girl immi- grants. Encouragement of the social evil and a medical certificate before marriage"
