suffrage debate.

providing submission OF the suffrage
question to the women of Iowa at the
next general election in two years,
which had passed the senate, was re-
fused. and that body now stands in
the peculiar position of having adopted
an amendment providing suffrage and
Of having provided that the women
shall express whether they desire it
two years hence.
1t will be four years before the
amendment can be put up to the peo-
pie Of the state, according TO laws
governing constitutional amendments.
Senator Chase, author Of the bill
providing a statewide vote of women,
who has become unpopular with the
suffrage advocates therefore. was
about the only speaker who was not
applsuded thunderously from the
women-crowded galleries. Senator
Chase quoted from an interview with
the wife OF the new vice president
in which she said she believed the
majority OF women did not want suf,
frage. He turned 70 the galleries.

Alma Beck Concert

. +
Richmond is indebted to the
Federated Music Clubs for a con-
cert of the highest order which
was given on last evening at the
Normal Chapel. The program
was a brilliant one and faultlessly
rendered. Miss Beck has a con-
tralto voice of wonderful range
and beauty, while a fine concep-
ton of her selections makes her
singing most effective.
Two numbers especially on the
program were enthusiastically re-
ceived The Cry of Rachel"
which gave scope for her dra-
matte style and 'The Life of a
Rose" which proclaimed her rare
musical power.
Miss Gould accompanied Miss
Beck on the piano and also exc
cuted two very difficult numbers
which gave evidence of much
talent and showed mastery of
the instrument.

FOR THE YOUNG.

To be glad of life because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to plan and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your posses
sions, but not contented with yourself,
until you have made the best of them !;
to despise nothing in the world except
falsehood and meanness, and to fear
nothing except cowardice; to be gov
erned by your admirations rather than
by your disgust; to covet nothing that
is your neighbours except his kindness
of heart and gentleness of manner;
to think seldom of your enemies, often
of your friends and to spend as much
time as you can with body and with
spirit, in Gods out-of-doors-these are
little guideposts on the footpath Of
peace.

TO LAST FOUR MORE CENTURIES.

The ingenuity with which clever
workmen restore damaged master
pieces of painting is shown by the
means recently taken to rescue a ia
NOUS Madonna by Botticelli. The Ma
donna was painted on wooden panel
at least four hundred years ago. Not
long since the wood began to crack,
and it was feared that the painting
would be ruined; but restorer was
found who said that he could save it..
His first step was to paste thin
strips of tissue paper on the face OF
the picture, pressing the paper into
the uneven surface of the paint. He
added layer after layer, until thick
body of paper concealed the picture.
Then the restorer turned the picture
over and began to sandpaper the
board away. After many months of
careful work he had all the wood re-
moved, and nothing but the paint ad-
hered to the paper. Next he glued
a piece of linen canvas very carefully
to the paint, and slowly and patiently
removed the paper bit by bit.
The work took nearly year; but
when it was finished the painting was
in a condition to last another four
centuries.
