so sure of that. The JOY of
feasting the eyes upon the
beauties of nature on land and
sea, the stimulus and educa-
ton derived from contact with
many kinds of minds,-such
pictures and experiences are a
sort of moss that money can
not measure. And if the @roll-
ing stone" has been ever ready
in the art of spellbinding, he
has memories of one of the
greatest of all joys,-that of
feeling his fellow men respond
to his thought and sentiment,
as an organ responds to the
players touch.

The chivalrous man realizes that

while in non suffrage states a child
can consent to her own ruin over four
years before she can legally consent to
marriage.
The mother vote has also raised
the age at which her child can start
work by one year, the average for the
suffrage states being 14.3 years and for
the non suffrage states 1877 years. And
she has shortened the working day Of
the child by one hour. the average
working day permitted by law in the
suffrage states being eight and one
half hours, while in the non suffrage
states It is nine and one-half hours.
The white slave laws in the suffrage

of this.

The development of woman suffrage
in the Western states during the last
forty-five years has proved that wo-
men gaining rights does not deprive
men Of rights. In the west men and
women have worked together hand in
hand, each realizing that the other has
a part to play in government.
Men have always laid the emphasis
on property, and the laws OF the male
suffrage states emphasize the male at
tftude. Women lay the emphasis on the
preservation of life and the protection
OF chiidhood. The laws OF the suffrage
states reflect both points of view.
A man knows the toll of self-sacri-
rice necessary to amass money. the
woman knows the pain, self-sacriftce
and toll necessary to give birth to and
bring up q child.
Women added laws to the statute
books IN the suffrage states that men
are now slowly copying in the east.

State Governments the Resistant
Outbreak in 1898

Washington, d. c., Nov. 17.-Today
the federal and state governments
have spent approximately s750,000
in the campaign against the livestock
foot and mouth epidemic. OF this,
about 100000 has been borne by the
federal government, almost exhaust
ing the available funds of the depart
ment Of agriculture. An emergency
appropriation Of probably 100000
will be asked of congress when it
meets to consider the work Of stamp
ing out the disease. Experts of the
department estimate that about $780,
600 alone has been spent for sladgh-
tering condemned cattle, one nalf Of
which is borne by the federal and ;he
other by the state governments. The
last outbreak of the disease in 1898
cost the federal government alone
$500, 900.
The infected states then included
Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan
land Maryland. On reports from field
inspectors that outbreak of the dis
ease had occurred in the state of
