A Close Race

The late Representative Robert G.
Bremner, himself a staunch Scotch
man, and native of the heather, never
objected to telling a story in which
the joke was on himself. One story
in which Congressman Bremner took
delight in telling, especially when sur
rounded by crowd of Scotchmen,
was about three men who we're dis
cussing horse racing.
"I remember a thrilling finish l
witnessed" said one of the trio. 1.-The
two horses that led the field were
neck 0and neck all along the home
stretch and as they came under the
wire, one of the horses stuck out his
head and won by head
The second man went him one bet
ter. He had seen race where both
horses had stretched their necks as
far as they would go and still they
were even.
But as they came under the wire, F"
the speaker continued, while his audi
ence looked on in amazement, lone
had presence enough of mind to stick
out his tongue. And he won by a
tongue"
The listeners were dumbfounded.
They waited to hear one still better
from the third man in the party.
But none was forthcoming. FINALLY
one asked:
Jim, did you ever see a close
racer"
Did l ever see a close race?" he
answered "a close race? Why, yes.
Didn't l travel through Scotland?"

A LAW FOR PEONAGE.

An act passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature at
its session last winter which purported to regulate
the business of loan agencies is discovered to
egaize "a form of peonage or modified slavery" ac-
cording to Philadelphia Judge, who pronounces the
law unconstitutional.
The promoters of this vicious bill, says the judge
set about it with caution and intelligence" And the
intelligence satanic. But when an atrocous leg

4 Summer Wish

| want TO get into the old flannel shirt
And the trousers that nothing can harm,
| want to get out to the sand and the dirt
That abound on old Joshua's farm.
| want to get out on the lake that is there
And weather its Summertime squalls,
And blister and bake in the sunshine and swear
Whenever the boats engine stalls.
I'm eager to get from the smoke and the CRIME
And the rush of the city, and rest
Out there where fellow has nothing but time,
And needn't be Stylshly dressed.
| want to go fishing for blue gills once more,
And doze where the garter snake crawls;
want to be fully mile from the shore
Each time that the motor boat stalls
I'm weary of waterproof roofs overhead,
And my totred spirit complains;
| want to be forced to get out of my bed
Whenever at ight time it rains.
I'm feeling the need of hardship two,
The city's convenience pals,
| am eager TO wish that knew what to do
The times that the motorboat stalls.
| want to be miles from porcelain tub
And shave by bury old glass
| want to sit down to some poorly cooked grub,
Where the buffers a soft sticky mass.
| am weary of trolleys and autos and things,
For discomforts I'm eager to roam;
At night | would be where the mosquito stngs
And learn to appreciate home.

Camera Man Didn't Come

The clerks in the election bureau at
the City Hall came to work looking
unusually spic and span yesterday. In
collars and cuffs. Shoes were polished
neatly and clothes well brushed. The
clerks sat uneasy at their work all
forenoon. They even hesitated about
leaving the place for their lunches"
About o'clock several of the clerks
were seen to converse in confiden-
tial manner. Then the cat was let out
of the bag. Some one in authority
had notified the clerks individually
the day previous that their photo
graphs were to be taken at the City
Hall in order to test the loyalty of
their work. The would-be joker was
not found, neither was the photog-
rapher.

Why PrOlOng 1t?

The suffrage movement has never
stopped since the first convention at
Seneca Falls. n. Y, in 1S4S. The
gaining of the vote has never stopped
since the first State, Wyoming, grant
ed it in 1869. 1t has at times moved
very slowly, but it has never gone
back. A suffrage campaign lost is
lost only temporarily. The women
60 back again and again. Colorado
lost a campaign once, California once,
Kansas twice, Washington twice,
Oregon three times before they finally
carried. But q State once gained is
gained forever. The right is never
repealed, because women themselves
would have to vote on the repeal, and
they will never vote to take away
their own franchise. The present
New Jersey suffrage campaign is
taking a great deal of time, money
and hard work which might be ap-
piled to constructive civic work.
What is the use of making us do it all
over again? Why not give us the
vote in 1915, instead of making us
come back year after year, with the
same waste of time, energy and
money? Some day some State will
break the solid East, Why not make
it New Jersey?
Letters to this department will be
welcome, and objections to equal
suffrage contained therein will be
answered.-Ed.

Finds That Ancient Dentist Had Success

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Dr. Mar
shall H. Saville Loubet. professor of
American archaeology in Columbia
University, discovered in a trip to
Ecuador last year evidences of sue
cessful transplanting of human teeth
by dentists of Atacames more than
thousand years ago.
In n skull found on the right bank
of the Rio Atacames," writes Profess
sor Saville in the Bulletin of the
Pan-American Union, lis a right lat
eral incisor, which does not belong
to the jaw, but was implanted to re-
place the middle incisor. There seems
to be no reason to doubt that the re-
placement was a genuine triumph of
the ancient dentists"
New York dentists said last night
that modern dentistry had as yet been
unable successfully to transplant
teeth.

senator Robinson.


Harper's Weekly has the following
20 say about Senator Helen Ring
Robinson, of Colorado, we'll known in
this State, where she has spoken
under the auspices of the Women's
Political Union:
1.-THE only woman Senator in the
United States, already fully tested
and a proved honor to her State, still
further esta blished her craftsmanship
during the Colorado civil war. Sew
eral times she sought information at
the seat of battle. She talked with
the militia and their wives, as well
as with the strikers and leaders.
Where so many were blinded by hate,
she was tolerant. Even when her
heart suffered she was calm. When
she sympathized most she had the
needed skepticism of the Investigator.
She sought not the easiest temporary
escape, but permanent solutions. She
is an example of the undoubted truth
that politics is one of the occupations
in which a number of women are
needed"
