ROSALIE'S MISSIONARY CHICKEN
nv EIIzABETH "A. UANPBEI,YA

She was little clean white hen
who, because OF very red comb,
had in early youth been mistaken FOR
h rooster and named Dick. 1t was
ell due to a most unfortunate and
painful accident that little Dick ever
came into prominence at all, the
chickens had made raid upon the
flower bed and Rosalie was sent to
order them out. She very thought
lessly and by way of emphasis threw
a stone at the intruders and the neat
little white chicken with the bright
red comb was hit, and the result was
"a broken leg.
Rosalie's heart stood still with ter
ror at what she had done. then she
speedily set about trying to make
amends for the mischief Brother
Bob came and put the little broken
leg into spiints and carefully bound
1t up. Resale made nice coy ned
for the poor little chick in the wood
shed. She lavished all possible at
tentlons upon the little invalid, and
DIV the time the leg was healed Dick
had become a household pet and
would fly upon Rosalie's shoulder and
eat corn from her hand and would
follow her all over the yard.
One beautiful Sunday morning In
early autumn. when Resale went to
church, she found there a missionary
lady, tall and sweet. who told about
the orphan children away out in Tur-
key. She told Of one little Mugger-
ditch, who came down from the
mountains all in rags. His father
had been killed in the war He was
quite alone in the world and he want
ed to go to school. There were no
schools In the poor little village where
he lived, but he had heard that down
| in the city there was a missionary
| school where children learned things
and Muggerditch did SO want to learn
Ia great deal and then go back to his

Now It's Different.
Then last year women were grant

for women. They have established
every reform we have fought foK:
they have been eager to ask us what
we want and how we want IT, The
been acceded to since we got the bal
lot is little short of miraculous.
Hospital reforms that had been
needed for 80 years were accomplish
ed within two months after women
got the vote; reforms have been inau-
gurated In the conduct of the poor
houses; the Mayor has appointed ten
policewomen for duty at the parks
and dance halls, and has graciously
offered TO increase the number to rs.
We have obtained reforms in the han
ding OF garbage that have made Chi
cago cleaner, healthier city, and we
intend to go on and on until we have
secured all the reforms for which we
have fought for years"
Miss Adams warned the women's
clubs of the country that if they do
not indoTse the suffrage movement
they may find themselves without a
purpose, for the reforms that hereto
fore have been advocated by the
clubs have been taken UP boldly by

Miss Fuutz- Reese pleaded for fair

that they are as we'll, is not better
fitted for the ballot than the men.
Women Who Should Vote.
She outlined the women who should
be allowed TO vote, as follows:
Women who pay taxes.
Women who are consumers
Working women, Of whom there are

The millions of mothers, upon whom
