The hornpipe by Walter Lyons was also
a pleasing feature. 1t was a very en-
joyable program all the way through and
the choir is to be congratulated upon the
good showing both in the program and

GERMAN WOMEN HELD PR0TEs
AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE

On Sunday, March 18th, there was q
protest meeting in Gladstone against
woman suffrage and there were about
100 Of the women present from Glad
stone and neighborhood and can say
for sure that the number would have
been twice as large or more had the
weather been better.
The meeting was started at 3 o'clock
D. m. by the wife of our justice OF the
peace, Mrs. Ernestine Kampf. The lady
was elected as chairman and a good
many arguments were discussed which
were obvious for everybody and show
ing the shady sides of the woman
suffrage bill which is wanted to be in
troduced as an amendment in our
constitutions.
am sure that many thousands of
women who are fighting now for this
matter will change their opinion when
they think over the duties and cares
Of a lady of the house and a good mother
and they will come to the conclusion
that the suffrage should remain in the
hands of men.
A good woman and mother never has
the intention to neglect her household
and her children on account of suffrage.
After some speeches from different ladies
the meeting was closed and another
meeting is scheduled for the 22nd inst.
Everybody is welcome to this meeting
on the 22nd.
You are kindly asked to publish my
letter.
Yours very truly.

ed many falsetto voices, and the
owners of the voices paused often
to breathe on their blue fingers and
stamped their feet vigorously to
warm the freezing toes. Sometimes
one could see a pathetic figure pause
by an especially brilliant window,
partly to admire and partly to derive
from the floods of light, an imagin-
airy warmth.
Such one was Tony. He was
gazing rapturously at wax Santa
Claus, large as life, and surrounded
by the most wonderful toys imagin-
able.
A tiny electric locomotive and
train of cars wove in and out on a
diminutive track; a toy aeroplane

On the end of string; dark-hair-

made little Tony's heart swell and
swell until suddne blast of wind
sent him shivering on his way, clutch
ng his scanty little ragged coat tigh-
ter about his thin shoulders and lift
ing his voice shrilly to advertise his
wares.
He did not stop again, for it was
TOO cold to stand still, and the only
way to keep from freezing was to
keep moving.
DUNG the next hour or so Tony
worked very hard and by the time
the home-going crowds had thinned
down to one or two pedestrians and
an occasional taxi, he had sold the
last paper and turned toward the
tenement district to the miserable
me.room he called home.

his family hasten by next boat to the
Golden Land and their loving hus
band and father would meet them al
the pier, then they would live in a
beautiful house called Flats and be
together once more.
The letter never reached Naples
and after many weary weeks of wait
Ing for news from her husband, Ma.
ria took her scanty hoard of savings,
her babies and a small bundle, and
in the steerage of the same boat
that took Alessandro across the sea,
sailed for New York and Ellis Island
After due time the three of them,
Maria, Antonio and the Cherub, got
through the Customs House and even
tually found themselves in the filth
and dirt of the Italian Quarter of
East Side.
Maria went to work in the sweat
shops and Antonio, who was but sew
en-, was put to selling papers. The
Cherub, who was too young to work,
was left to play in the cutters with
other dirty little children.
So a year passed, and Maria, who
thought surely her husband had de-
serted them, gave way to her grief
and the terrible drudge of the sweat
shop, and was carried home uncon-
scious, one day, by sympathetic coun-
try-men, and Tony was left to be the
support of the family.
Meantime, AlesSandro for months
had haunted the steamboat piers,
and gazed anxlously at the faces of
all the second class passengers, and
as the last one passed down the
gangplank, turned away with a dis
appointment that grew to be tragic
grief as the days went by and still
Maria and the little ones came not.
Then he wrote letters to his wife,
and receiving no answer wrote to rel
atives in Naples pleading frantical-
ly for news of her whereabouts. AT
ter many weary and anxious months
there came the reply that Maria was
in America, having gone there by
steerage and, since she was too i'll
to write to them, and Antonio knew
not how to write, they could not tell
what part of the city she was in.
Alessanro was desperate, and set
to work to employ means to find his
lost family. While the search was
going on, in order to drown his sor-
rows, he plunged into his work with
greater zeal than ever before. By
this diligence he rose higher and high
er in the staff of thedepartment
store and at the end of two years
was the manager of the store itself.
Now the fourth Christmas of his
exile was approaching, and poor
Alessandro had as yet discovered no
trace of his loved ones and he looked
forward with sad heart to another
day of anxious sorrow for hims If on
what was day so full of JOY to
others.
The day before Christmas Tony
sped swiftly about his work, SILVER
ing in the cold wind which cut thru
to his little bones. But neverthe-
less he was cheerful, for was he not
the proud possessor of a whole dol
lar with which to buy the beautiful
doll, the one with real eyelashes, and
the one for which his cherub had
cried her pretty eyes red for only that
