Mrs. Pankhurst Bears News to Mother

Mrs. PankhurSt Bears news TO Motner
Detroit, Nov. 11.-Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, the British suffragette
leader, and Mrs. R. H. Emerson of
Jackson, mother of Zelie Emerson,
who is seriously ill in London from
riot. met for the first time here last
night, and the meeting was fearful
one.
Mrs. Pankhurst came from Ohio to
address a suffragist mass meeting in
Detroit. When she reached her hotel,
she was given the first details con-
corning Miss Emerson's injury.
This incident will cause the Amer
lean people to realize the desperate
battle which we women are fighting
in London" said Mrs. Pankhurst, as
she read the dispatches.
A white-haired woman appeared.
She was the suffragette leader in the
midst of a group of women and hur-
ried to grasp her hand. AS they met,
Mrs. Pankhurst asked a reporter if
further details concerning Miss EN-
erson's condition had been received.
"Why, Mrs. Pankhurst, has some
thing happened to Zelie? l am her
mother"
Mrs. Pankhurst started in reply to
question of the white-haired woman
wavered and burst into tears.
Newspaper men attempted to tell
Mrs. Emmerson of the injury to heI
daughter but before they could finish
their story, Mrs. Pankhurst, still weep
ing, asked Mrs. Emerson to accom-
pany her to her room.
Both declined to be interviewed aft
er that.

Early Friday morning a sign ap-
peared above the bell reading: Every
twentieth purchase free-announced
by this bell"
Just at noon the bell rang. The ex-
cited customer. a farmer. was in
formed that his purchase would be
handed to him free Of charge. As he
left the store John came rushing back
to Price.
Say" he exclaimed, you'll ruin
me! Why. that vas a twelve-doIlar
o~yercoat!"
Never mind" replied Price, conf
IDENTITY. THE average will come out
right"
This proved to be true. Curious
people came in, making only small
purchases. The news got around town.
The crowd kept up till midnight.
Tired out, but elated, John reckoned
up the gains of the day. Counting in
the presents given, he was over fifty
dollars to the good.
The next week Price had a new
scheme, the distribution of a free pa
per cap to children, advertising the
store. The rush kept up.
Mr.. Moore" said Price one eve
ming, the night business is better
than the day. That is because you
don't get the trade of the ladies. I've
a new suggestion to make. You need
a woman behind that dry goods coun-
ter. Let me send for my daughter,
Martha. We can use the two empty
rooms upstairs, and you needn't pay
either of US a cent Of salary unless we
earn It."
So this came about. The result was
magical. Martha Price, bright, mod
est, obligtng, brought in the female
customers in groups. The pleased old
bachelor began to humanize himself
with pleasant words instead of frowns.
Fortune smiled upon him. In turn
he smiled upon Martha.
IT'S no use denying 1t, Price," he
said to her father one day, you two
have managed to transform a crusty,
self-opinionated, behind-the-time, crus.
ty old bachelor into a real human be-
ing. As to you, I'm proud Of you"
Some good in the world after all,
am II" responded Price. I'm so glad,
and Martha is happy as the day is
long"
John Moore did some deep thinking
the rest Of that day. In the early ave-
ming, when Price was eating his sup
per, he went over to the counter
where his daughter stood.
Martha" he said. I'm going to tell
you something that 1 never told any
other woman. Having had no expert
ence, I must be rather plain and
blunt"
"Yes?" murmured Martha, Her
color heightened.
II love you, and I want you to be
my wife. Of course, a crusty old
bachelor"
Don't call my fathers best friend

sweetly. 81 am only a poor girl, but

Then it was his turn to interrupt.

Many were the curious tales which
teached us of Abdul Hamid. He lived
chiefly on eggs, they said, served a
la Cog, because it would require the
skill of a Borgia to poison them. His
terror of assassination was SO abject
that he never LETT the Yildiz palace ex-
cept to say his prayers once a week
at his mosque, and he employed a
faster" like any medieval mon
arch.
The ex-sultan, as all the world
knows, was and is an enemy to prog.
ress and reform and excessively mar
row in his views. The Young Turks
had a bad time Of 1t under his sway,
and women a worse one. He en-.
forced strict seclusion for Turkish
women, forbade them even to leave
the country after they we're old enough
to be yelled, and obliged all respect
able women to be indoors by sun
set.
Even now, under a more enlighten-
ed rule, although they go out and
about the streets disguised in yash-
max and ferejeh, the Turkish lady is
lucky If a spy does not follow in her
wake ready to report to a Jealous
husband the slightest indiscretion.
One of our party passed a high wall
on his way to the Selamlik, which
his dragoman informed him was that
of a harem. THE walls must be
high" said the Turk, Since women
are SO bad"
We waited long In our pavilion for
the sultan, and were relieved when at
last his coming was heralded by men
who scattered gravel before him on
the hill. Abdul Hamid was a hand
some old man with refined features,
a prominent nos and a good carriage.
He was dressed simply and he wore
no decorations. AS he drove past
the troops cheered him in a strange
low key, unlike any other hurrah l
have ever heard. 1t is etiquette that
all eyes should be cast down as the
mighty sultan goes by.
Behind Abdul Hamid the ladies' of
his harem drove In closed carriages,
but they did not enter the MOSQUE.

in that country to kiss the corner of
the mouth of women, instead of shak-

were invited to dine at the house Of a
man of high rank, and found his wife
and three daughters (none Of them

kissed the girls, but not the married
