When the euaIe Was a Gong.

When John f. Wilkie, formerly chief
OF the secret service, was young he
served with distinction among the Dor
der fighters of the west in their raids
on bands of insurgent Indians and cat
tie rustlers.
On one occasion, according to Mr..
Wilkie. the posse on which he was
serving ran out of available horses,
and car horses had to be forced into
commission. These animals were I'M
accustomed TO any command other
than that Of the car bell and refused
TO obey the customary bugle CALLS
Accordingly the posse found 1t neces-
sary to procure large gong, which
was struck once for the troop to stop
and twice for II 10 advance. In this
manner they kept fairly good order.
One of the company, bit Of a
wag. composed "A parody on Barbara
Frietchie." a portion of which ran:
"who touches a hair of Won gray head
Dies like a dog! Dingdingl" he said

THE VERMONT ACADEMY
Campaign to Extend Its Value
State.

Under the splendid leadership OF
Rev. George B. Lawson, d. d., for
mer pastor of Bennington, the Yer.
mont Academy at SaXton's River is
enjoying an era of very marked pro-
gress. The time has now come When
if the school is to continue its good
work and expand, it must have more
and better equipment. Very recent
ly campaign has been started for
the building of a model boys dormi
tory. The people of Bennington will
have an opportunity this week in
aiding in the splendid work of this
school for boys.
At the present time it is the only
school in the state for boys exclus.
lively, and the only educational insti.
tuition apart from the University
bearing the state name. The record
that this academy is now making
should be source of qualification to
all Vermonters who believe in the
wholesome training and thorough in
struction of young men, and should
be recognized by the people of the
state by liberal response.

SUFRAGETTES PLAN
OPEN AIR MEETING
Three Speakers Of Wide Repute
Will Present Arguments for
the Ballot.

A local campaign for the cause Of
woman suffrage will be opened tonight
by three speakers of wide repute at an
open-air meeting to be held at Twenty
third street and Pennsylvania avenue
at s O'Clock
Miss Mabel Vernon, Of Wilmington
Del; Miss Doris Stevens, of Dayton.
Ohio, and Mrs. Jessie Harding Stubbs,
Of Chicago, will present arguments for
the ballot for women. They are all in
Washington for the meeting Of the Ma
honal Council of Women Voters, which
VIII be held here next week, and are
taking advantage of the opportunity to
push their campaign while here.
Other meetings will be held in various
parts of the city between now and the
opening Of the council meetings August
10, and on Friday night, August Is, a
mass meeting in one of the local
theaters where Miss Jane Adams, Miss
Helen Todd and other women OF inter-
national reputation will speak. will close
the series.
Word was received at the woman
suffrage Headquarters today that Mrs
Henry Waldo Coe, of Portland Ore,
who was appointed by Governor West
Of that State to represent Oregon at
the International Council for Woman
Suffrage in Budapest, was on her her
way here from that city to attend the
national council. Mrs. Coe has only
been back from Hungary short time,
and she probably will draw on her ex-
perience abroad for arguments, when
the women voters are given hearing
by the House Committee on Rules the
morning of August Il.
Another woman expected here within
a day or two is Mrs. Emma Smith Ce
Voc, of Tacoma, Wash, who has been
Women Voters since it was organized
in 1911.

hold furniture, machinery, merchandise.
and live stock, and all improvements on
land. such as buildings, and that part
of the value of farm land produced by
labor-clearing. ditching. fencing, and
cultivation. This Is no experiment; the
system Is in successful operation in Van
couver. Victoria. and other cities and
towns in Canada"
The fact that the system is being ex-
tensiyely tried In Canada and is said to
be a success, especially In British CO.
lumbia, is being used as an argument
for its application, not alone in New
Jersey. but here in the District, and In
many cities and States all over the
United States. Cities in the State OF
Washington have taken II up seriously
because 1t has been proclaimed as a
great success in Vancouver.
Mr.. Osborne, In his declaration, wants
the Progressive party to take up with
the single tax. 1t Is we'll understood
here that some of the strongest men in
the Administration are in favor of this
system of taxation. Friends of the sys-
TEN say the President himself is for IL,
and there Is pretty good evidence on this
point in the fact that he has appointed
a number of men we'll knewn to enter
tain this view.
Because of the Importance which
would be attributed to an application
OF the principles of taxation of land
values in the National Capital as an
example TO other communities. the con-
sideration which this question Is going
TO get next wiz ter promises to be one
of the things o. most moment on the
program for the coming regular session.

The very title OF the act sup

Woman Who Started
"Tango'' In London Is
Assafled By Writer

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Tbe American
colony was tangled In a maze of
speculation today, trying to
guess the identity of the Amer
lean woman blamed by FiIson
Young In the Saturday Review
for the introduction of the
.tango" in London society.
Explaining that the tango Is so
popular because "tango" in
Latin means IL tOuch,' the
writer says:
"Where the shepherd leads, the
sheep will follow and the Ameri-
can lady In London who is the
chief instigatOr of these .reyels
Is a shepherdess Of no mean
ability.
"If a babOOn could be trained to
play ragtime, he would be the
rage of London and people
would be asked out to meet and
sit at the table with him. This
is not an exaggeration, but a
simple fact"
