Conference at Kenton.

The Woman's Missionary Conference
of the NJ. E. G. S. convened at Kenton
Oct. a. Ministers present, Reys.
Adams and Waters, Union City, Terry
from Hickman and Mathis, Of Kenton.
Rev. j. j. Thomas, Of Martin, preached
the opening sermon. Text, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in
earth. !"
Miss Clara Mcdonald, district secre-
tary, presided to the edification Of
all. Welcome address by Mrs. Mathis
and response by Mrs. Hughes, of
Wickliffe, was SO full OF good cheer
and comradeship that the fellowship
Of love permeated the entire conference.
Miss McConnell's address was replete
with ennobling Christian sentiments.
One Of her fayorite notices, She hath
done what she could" is world wide.
No woman to whom this tribute could
be paid has lived in vain. "Of all the
habits for a woman, there is none
sweeter than the home-staying woman.
In the home was the alabaster box
broken, but its perfume has scented the
air of the entire civilized world. OF
this class were the women assembled at
this meeting. There never was an age
that good men and women had such
opportunities to respond to divine call.
Where is thy brother since Cain heard
that awful question. Because society
has so little needed this call men and
women, the most wonderfully endorsed,
have become utter wrecks. Even the
child knows the fate of Burns, Byron
aud Poe. Had they been in attune
with God the angels would have listen
ed to the music of their voice. Poor
Solomon dies wailing, Vanity Of yani-
ties, all rs vanity, because Of mis-
spent life, regardless OF the stupendous
gifts Of God " On this line Mrs. But
Ter gave a very impressive talk to the
young people and the mothers. Jesus
set the little child in the midst and we
follow His example when we environ

A paper on Social Service" by Mrs.
Annie Fain, of Rutherford, elected ex-
treme interest Listening to this con-
secrated young woman one could not
but feel how beautiful is a life Of service.
Speed the day when the young will be
so hedged in by loving care that none
can fall by the wayside.
"Echos from Waynsville," by Mrs.
w. w. Adams, was thoroughly en-
joyed. She related how at one meet
ing $156, 900 was given to missions.
Miss Lidie McLemore, from Sharon,
gave a good paper on Service for the
Young"
Mrs. Crenshaw, from Mount Zion,
gave a stirring talk for missionary
literature. Mrs. Shepherd, OF Fulton,
read strong paper on "Tithingp Tor.
Mrs. Phippa. Mrs. Turner, from Ruth
erford, on Stewardship OF Personality"
profoundly impressed the audience.
Each one felt the responsibility and
awfulness Of sinking duty. Mrs.
Eugene Wade'scharming rendition Of
that numerous, and also pathetic piece,
Thanksgiving Ann, was one Of the
principal features Of the closing service.

thusiastic throughout There was a

PREACH NO MILITANCY.
President Wilson Directs Admis-
sion of Mrs. Pankhurst.

THE American people did tit is
their will, +" she said. What will the
English say9' Then she paid her re-
spects tartly to Reginald McKenna, the
British Home Secretary, characterizing
him as the chief torturer for England. !"
She said it was not her purpose to preach
miIitancy in this country. but that she
would coafine herself to an exposition
of the treatment accorded the suffra-
gettes in England.
Mrs. Pankhurst was the recipient OF
demonstration unique in the annals
OF Ellis Island as she was leaving the
immigration station. Men and women
employees sought points Of vantage from
which to see the militant leader and the
Board OF Special Inquiry adjourned
cases that its members and the immi-
grants might see her as she walked to-
ward the ferryboat and the freedom OF
the country.
She wore smart gray travelling frock,
mauve hat decidedly OF the order
which would be called sassy" in some
circles. And she wore pair Of Eng
lish roses in her cheeks, and her bright
and humorous eyes were as blue as the
big bunch of yiolets she tucked into the
broad girdle Of her very modish frock.
Surprised2' she said why, ol
course I'm not surprised. 4"

Do you believe they had anything
to do with my being detained2 Well,
as they say up in Scotland, / didna

way feel about it.
What am going to do in this coun-
tryY am going to talk and work and
do everything | can to get thesympathy
OF the American people on the side Of
the English suffragists.
Shall talk militant methods here?
shall do no such thing. You don't
need militant methods in America.
Every American / meet tells me that if
the women Of this country really want
the vote all they have to do is to ask for
it and the men OF this country will give
it to them.
That is not true in England. The
women do want to vote almost as much
as they want to live, and the men of
England win not even listen to us when
we try to tell them why
They know why only too well they
know it.
Why, an Englishman can bring an
other woman right into his home; he
can make his vile receive her at her
own table, no matter who she is or what
she is, and there is no law in England
that will let her leave that polluted
home.
There is only one parent in Eng
land--the mother does not count in
English law.
There is q good deal OF fun made
of the suffragists and st suffrage meth
.ods, but there is nothing funny in the
things that have driven us to such
methods.

AN AMERICAN JOKE.

oh, now do you seriously think they
really wanted to hold me? 1t sounded
to me like one Of your clever American
jokes, really it did-when first heard it.
Fancy branding moral turpitude
across my forehead and sending me
back across the ocean like some poor
soul with the leprosy.
How could anyone with any sense
Of humor do such thing? And after
all, you know you Americans have 4

GoNDoLA Is VENICE.

Other gondolas glide silently past you,
and perhaps now and then a barge
loaded with fruit or fish, propelled
by the one long oar in the hands OF q
swarthy Venetian. But you are rudely
awakened from your reverie by the
shrill whistle of an impertinent little
steamboat. II seems like an anach-
ronism. and one resents it's presence.
These boats now run between the
railway station and the Adriatic sea.
In them one can go out to the Lido,
the famous Venetian seaside resort;
to the great Venetian glass works and
other places Now and then a speedy
motor boat will dash by you, and you
shake your fist at its departing stern.
and wish II would sink.
Then with a sudden turn to the
right you enter a labyrinth of smaller
canals, SO narrow, some OF them, that
you can almost touch the houses on
either side with outstretched hands.
AS you approach a sharp turn, the
gondolier shouts warning, answered
by another boatman, and presently
long DlAch PROV cueIBeb blOWly ana
cautiously into view. With perfect
ease the two boats pass each other
In this narrow space, never touching
nor humping The Goudcliers have
perfect control over them and handle
the long unwieldly things perfectly.
These back canals are charming, al
though, one must confess, they are
sometimes rather smelly, and there is
danger Of having the days garbage
dumped from an upper window into
your lap. But you do not mind this as
you glide beneath many bridges, and
slip past the old. old houses. with
the window gaily decorated with fow-
ers. You gaze In wonder and admira-
tion at the picturesque old places. and
perhaps black eyed signorina leans
from window and drops rose into
your boat, and smiles.
At night the charm OF Venice is
even greater Then II seems like
veritable dream city; but without the
gondolas It might be q nightmare Far

'MotorBodt
GondoId

out on the Grand canal one can SEQ
two or three concert boats, decorated
with Japanese lanterns, and on the
still air comes snatches OF old Italian
love songs. You listen few min
utes, and then, with a nod to your
companion, you get up from your chair
on the hotel gallery and signal for
gondola. Silently II slips up TO the
steps leading into the water1 you step
into It and sink by the side of your
companion deep into the cushioned
seats in perfect luxury. Never go out
alone.
A Scene Of Beauty.
La musica," you say, II your Ital-
ian vocabulary is very limited, and
soon the long. black prov is pointing
toward the fairy-like boats. You sigh
in contentment. AS you slip along
the lights of st. Marks square wink
gaily. Small lights on the water here
and there show that other boats are
going to the concert. Everything is
silent and serene. cnly the sound or
the music breaking the stiffness. The
gondolier stands majestically behind
you. making long sweeps with his oar.
The sound OF the music grows palmer,
and soon beneath the string OF Ian
terms black barge looms up.
Hundreds of gondolas, It seems, are
lined up around this boat. By skillfub
maneuverlng your gondolier slides In
between two other boats. And then
You just stretch back and listen to the
singers, the water sloshing and lap
ping against the boats making an eff
Ifective accompaniment The singers
can sing. too. grand opera and love
songs composing their repertoire.
When one song has been finished
the gondoliers shout for their favorite
song for these swarthy boatmen seem
to enjoy the singing as much as do
their passengers. Presently a man
descends from the singers craft and
steps from gondola to gondola, a small
bag In. his hand. You hear the clink-
ing of coins, and when he gets to your
boat you drop a few centisimi into the

well filled bag. This is repeated three
or four times. but altogether you do
not squander more than ten or fifteen
cents In American money. You would
not begrudge three times that amount.
When one OF the gondolas by the
side OF the concert leaves there is
scramble to get its place. The gon-
doliers manipulate their boats skill
fully, and perhaps your man, by O.
quick twist. gets you into the coveted
place. II seems to be coveted by the
boatmen, but In reality 1t is not as
good as being farther away.
All the gondolas are painted black,
and are just alike. II is said that one
OF the old Doges OF Venice, finding
that many OF the wealthy mobiles were
obtaining gondolas much more elabo-
rate than he could AFFORD, made a law
that all except his own should be
painted modest black, and that Gus
tom has come down TO the presen,
day.

~ ~ ODERN means OF locomotion
MM on the Grand canal In Venice
uW have been stubbornly fought
A4 for some time by the Vene-
tian gondoliers, but this
seems about to be overcome by the
formation OF a cooperative society
among these boatmen. This body is
providing public service OF small
motor launches between the railway
station and the Adriatic shore. They
maintain that the launches can be
used by those in a hurry, while the
gondolas will be retained for the use
OF the leisurely pleasure seekers.
But why should anyone be in
hurry in Venice7 II is place to
dream and rest. One OF the greatest
attractions in this most picturesque
city on all the continent is to loll back
in a gondola and glide slowly down
the Grand canal That first ride one
never forgets. II is as IL he had been
transported into an altogether differ-
ent world, for everything is strange, un-
familiar. AS the boat proceeds leisure
ly along the stately old palaces. with
the high poles with the colors of their
owners painted on them, add to the
charm. They are ancient and many
are in rather dilapidated condition,
but that makes them seem all the
more picturesque. 1t is fitting that
they should be.
Many Great Palaces.
Here, the gondolier tells you. is the
Palazzo of Desdemona, beautiful old
place crowded in between two larger
palaces; there is the palace OF the
Brownings, one OF the stateliest on the
canal; over there is where the famous
Duse once lived, but her palace, prob
ably discouraged OF having been de-
serted by the great celebrity, leans
disconsolately against its neighbor,
and seems ready to plunge into the
waters OF the canal. And so as you
slip along to the sweep OF the one
great oar of the gondolier. you see pal
aces OF great dukes and duchess. OF
poets, writer's and many others.
