Told by Nephew.

81 never hear powder mentioned"
remarked Uncle lothian Means, but
1t minds me OF the time I went out
on Big Pond, duck shootin' with
Greene Powers. Greene and me had
shot many a duck together, and we
got along fust rate till Greene fired
at a due and missed him. Then he
says, Uncle lothian. 1 shall have to
go home; there's no more duck shoot
in for me today
"'Go home!' says l.. What for?'
""Cause my powders give out
says he.
oval, don't let that trouble ye.' /
says. I've got powder enough for
both on U.S.
"'Oh, have YEP says he, and 1
passed my horn back to him. Next
minute 1 heerd him say somethin',
n when 1 asked him what the trou-
BILE was. he says, doleful like. 'Trou-
Bile enough! I've dropped your horn

"'Oh. WAL says I, we can dive
over for it. I'll get it. I says.
"'No ye won't!' says he, and over
he goes.
oval, I sot thar waitin' till he'd
been down perhaps ten minutes, and
then. thinks I. If he don't come up
pretty soon, I'll have to go after
him
wal, I sot thar, maybe twenty min
utes or SO, and then slipped of my
coat, and over 1 goes. Water want
but bout twenty foot deep, so I got
down there all right, and what do We
s'pose I see? Wal, sir, If you'll b'lieve
me, there stood old Greene, as cool as
you please, emptyin' my powder horn
inter his pockets.
"Twan't that I'd grudged him
twice that amount Of powder, but I
did object to his way Of gittin' It,"
There was a silence that could be
felt for some minutes. Then up
spoke Uncle Jotham's nephew, viii.
liam.
Uncle Jotham," said he. that's a
good story. but 1 can beat it by what
l saw today over to Lakeport."
aye can, hey? Wal, let's have it."
You know George Morey? Wal,
sir. he drove into the yard with O
big load of taters, and onhitched. I
says to him:
That's quite a load, George
Ives, 'tis,' says he.
""Bout how much1l she weigh?' l
asked.
"'Do know says he, but I'll soon
tell We, and he up and straddled the
pole, facing the load. Then he got his
two elbows braced onto his knees,
squatted down, and he pried that
wagon right up ofn the ground,

The silence that now enwrapped
the listening company on the store
piazza grew almost painful. William
stood staring with solemn face and
u~nwavering y at Uncle johann.
The old gentleman shufled his feet,
cleared his throat once or twice, and
then delivered his ultimatum:

forty years was read The women.
he said. had supported all movements
OF good government.
Senator Chamberlain OF Oregon adj
dressed the committee in the interest
of woman suffrage and in support of
his resolution. He said there was no
doubt as to the power of Congress to
pass his resolution, or TO pass bill
giving women the vote without amend
ing the constitution.
He gave in brief the history of the
fight for woman suffrage in Oregon.
That state last November adopted wo-
man suffrage. The fight for the fran
chise was begin in 1880 He spoke
OF the discrimination against women
in the old common law which has been
done away with in Oregon, relating
TO making deeds and inheriting pro-
perty.
Senator Chamberlain said he was at
torney general in his state in 1890,
and had allowed women to become no
taries public, privilege never before
granted. AS governor OF the state he
was the first to appoint a woman
member Of the board of regents OF

were not governed, as men are, by
their passions in settling many poll

whole had more time to give to Vot-
ing and educational matters than have
the men.
