Women in Democratic Camp.

Washington papers say that with
Mrs. Charles Morton as chairman. the
National Democratic Association of
Women voters is the latest entry in
the political and suffrage field. The
object Of the new association is to car
ry on a suffrage campaign with the
Democratic party and attempt to pre-
vent the nomination of any Democra-
tic candidate who Is not avowedly a
suffrage supporter.
Our political work" said Mrs. Nor
ton, will be largely preprimary. We
will hold that all Democrats who fail
to support woman suffrage violate the
cardinal principle of the Democratic
party, and therefore should yield their
places to others"

speech and brush up on elccution.

hero of this story is Scotch collie
belonging to Samuel Norwood Within
a half mile of his masters house he
had the misfortune to get caught in
the jaws of trap which had been
set for mink or fox. Mr.. Norwood
heard the dogs outcries at intervals,
but mistook them for the baying of
a hound which belonged to some hun
ter. One day, nearly four weeks later,
wren winters severity had nearly
reached its height, Mr.. Norwood was
working in the brush when he heard
the familiar whining of his missing
dog. After a sort search he found
the collie huddled in the embrace of
the trap one of his feet firmly held in
the Jaws. The dog had been without
food and drink nearly four weeks, and
in the wasted frame Mr.. Norwood
could scarcely recognize the fat and
sleek collle Wncn Hdu always ieeeised
as much care as a member of the
family. Mr. Norwood carried the dog
home tenderly in his arms, but it was
several days before the animal was
able to take nourishment. He is now
doing nicely, and except for the loss
of several toes seems but little worse
for his midwinter experience"
