It's No Use.

Miss Inez Milholland. the well known
and charming suffragist was arguing
with an anti at dinner in New
York.
"Oh, you are unfair she said
You turn even our merits against US,
You are like Rain in the Face.
Chief Rain-in- the Face was once
escorting a woman in a canoe across
Canadian lake which the Indians
held in superstitious dread, believing
that if one spoke while crossing the
lake one would inevitably be destroyed
by the Great Spirit.
We'll, the woman thought she would
cure the Indians of this silly supersti-
ton, and so, in the middle OF the lake,
she sang a song at the tope OF her
voice.
Rain in the Face was overcome
with dread and horror. He signaied
to his paddlers to paddle faster. and
the men strained every muscle. In Sill
ence they soon landed the canoe on
the opposite bank.
Then the woman said to Rain in :
the Face:
There. hope you're convinced
now that one can talk and sing while
crossing the lake without anger!ng the
Great Spirit
".Huh said Rain in the Face,
scornfully The Great Spirit IS merci-
full. He knows a woman can't Keep
still"

WHAT The POLICE THINK ABOUT 1T.

bulletin which discusses building OPP
erations thruout the country and IS
edited without sentiment or opinion
upon moral or political questions. 1t
seeks TO report the condition of build
ing work in each city and complies bull
letins as to new work planned so the
material trade can go after orders. In
reporting the rebuilding ot Dayton,

struction News gives as a trade condi-
ton the following:
Thousands of carpenters, plasterers
and painters are at work. There is
still much mud and debris in the

by the food, there was a huge bonfire
covering two city blocks. with fire

is contended by a large element that
the work of cleaning has been ham
pered by the opening of the saloons,
which openued ten days ago. Four
thousa nd men had been employed on
the cleaning work, many imported from
Chicago and other cities. Hundreds OF
them became demoralizad thru drink

more of the Chicago contingent, made
