FROM OTHER PENS
MRS. PANKHuRsrs VISIT.

Mrs. Pankhurst takes poor encour-
agement home to her suffrasets from
her tour Of the United States. Her
stories OF arson and other forms Of
violence failed to win any supporters
In this land where the women are satis-
fled with logic to win anything they
desire. It must have been q sad disap-
pointment to this English suffraget,
who has concluded her visit to our
shores. that she could not stir up
among our women that spirit which
mas prevailed among her own follow
ers, not so much for the further agi-
tation of woman suffrage in this coun-
try az for the effect Of its influence
in Great Britain. This Is what she most
desired: this and the raising Of funds
from her pictures to further carry on
the warfare in her own land. These
are the two things which prompted Mrs.
Pankhurst to come to America. She
may have raised a little money. She
didn't raise the enthusiasm she sought
or secure the encoura cement which was
her hope. She may have secured some-
thing else which will do her and her
followers more good than anything else
We hope she did. That is encourage
ment to proceed along different lines
In the interest of the cause for which
she Is fighting. It IL to be hoped that
OF encouragement in violence, a spirit
OF calm deliberatfon and womanly vir-
tues. those attributes Of which Ameri-
can womanhood is possessed. II she
does and instills the same into the
other women Of her nation she will
find that things will come to her and
her sisters much quicker.-Pueblo

CAUSES OF JUVENILE CRIME.
Ernest K. Coulter. an authority on
problems Of the child. says that more
than half Of the cases brought before the
children's court grow out Of a thwarted
desire for play. Petty crime Is the near
est adventure. the nearest excitement. the
quickest little journey into life. that many
greedy for adventure. for excitement. for
life experiences. Listen to the talk OF the
youngest children in the yard and dis
cover what little pirates. desperadoes, and
adventurers they naturally are. The best
child In the world has deep ana abiding
hankerings after the forbidden-and this
on top Of infinite curiosity. veing tingling
with blood that demands adventure, rich
ripe adventure, and an fnsatiablb0 denire
to try all things. The best situated chill
swings. teetefs and other conventional ap-
purtenances Of play. will ride wild horses
and hang imaginary guns, put out RAGING
fires represented by 3 red blanket out
the window, scalp dolls and stalk about
in the attitudes they think proper to bur-
them. knock them about, dosplse them
as many Of the little folks under foot in
the worst streets Of any city are knocked
about and despfsed. and petty crime IL
about the only golden chance they have
for fun and notice.-springfleld Leader.

ShOplifter at Elgih.

A case of shoplifting was frustrat-
ed on Thursday last when t. j. Cap
per went to the Rock Island train,
which had stopped here to allow
passengers to eat dinner, and recov-
cred a shirtwaist that a woman had
taken from his store.
Miss Susie Capper was in the
front of the store when man and
woman came in. The woman asked
to see some shirtwaists. Selecting
one of the best, she laid it on the
counter with the remark. IF / can't
find one that suits me better, I'll
take that one After a 1fttle she
threw her coat on top of the waist
and when she had looked through
the lot decided that there was moth
ing there that would answer. She
picked up her coat and went to the
train, but with her coat she took the
shirtwaist she had laid on the
counter.
Miss Capper told her father of the
incident and T. j. made for the
train, which was about to leave on
its way north. AS he entered the
car he noticed the couple in seat
heads bent forward looking at some
thing and when he reached them he
discovered they had an open suit
case and lying in it was the shirt
waist for which he was searching
When the woman saw Mr.. Capper
she slammed the suit case shut, but
1t did not close tightly and Mr..
Capper reached over and took his
property, and then gave them a
lecture that they and the car full or
people who heard it, will not soon
forget.
Mr.. Capper says the mistake he
made was in not having them ar
rested but that the incident happen
ed so quickly that he could not
think of everything.-Elgin Echo.

ROAD CONTEST AT Usage.
Different Road Machines Will Con-
test Before County Supervisors.

On May goth there will probably
be some three or four miles of good
road built in Mitchell county. On
that day several manufacturers OF
road machines will be here and
compete before the county supervis-
ors. Each will build a mile of road
The sole chance of any reward rests
with the supervisors. If they regard
the idea as practicable they will
purchase the machine they like best
to use in the building of the county
roads.
1t is likely that the road built in
this contest will be a splendid speci-

MILLION TROUT IN HATCHERY
Big Stock of Game Fish Propagated
at Spring Branch This Season.
Notes of Hatchery Staff.

Over 100000 small brook trout
remain in the hatchery ponds at
this time, although since April LIST
many consignments have been shipp-
ed away for distribution in streams
and lakes of the Middle West. Add
ed to this large number are nearly
100000 rainbow trout which have
been propagated at the station dur
ing the season.
At this time, the car service of the
Bureau of. Fisheries is badly over
taxed, limiting the Hatchery ship
ments to what are known as mes
senger" consignments, consisting of
comparatively small numbers of
fish. These shipments leave here
twice a week in charge of Charles
Hruby.
Slight extensions of the pond sys-
tenn at the station and the repaint-
ing of the Hatchery buildings by
w. C. Chapel are improvements
ments which are contemplated at
the Branch for the summer.
Joseph Kimmerich, who recently
reported here from the Baird, Cali
fornia, hatchery, has been ordered
to accompany consignment of
brook trout to Hot Springs, Arkan-
sas, hatchery.
Carl Anderson and L. Des Autels
of the Branch staff have gone TO
North McGregor for the collection
of spawn along the Mississippi
