Whistler and a Supper.

Though frequently hard up, Whis- tier had an income which seemed princely to students who lived on noth- ing at all. If Whistler had money in his pockets, MT. Ionides says, he spent it royalty on others. If his pockets were empty, he managed to refill them in way that still amazes M. Oulevey, who, in proof of it, told us of the night when, after the cafe where they had squandered their last sous on kirsch had closed, he and Lambert and Whis- tier adjourned to the Halles for sup per, ordered the best and ate it. Then he and Lambert stayed in the restau- rant as hostages while Whistler, at dawn, went off to find money to pay. He was back when they awoke with 300 or 400 francs in his pocket. He had been to see an American friend, he said, painter, And, do you know. he had the bad manners to abuse the situation; he insisted on my looking at his pictures. ."-"The Life of James MacNeill Whistler" by E.

The EIao.

On June 14, 17I1. the Continental congress resolved that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, al ternate red and white, and that the Union be thirteen white stars on blue field. On Jan. 15, 1794, by an act of congress. the flag was altered to fifteen red and white stripes and fifteen stars. On April 4, 1918, congress again alter ed the flag by returning to the original thirteen stripes and fifteen stars, as the adding of a new stripe for each additional state would soon make the flag too large. A new star is added to the flag on July following the admis- sion of each new state.-New York American.

There was a multitude of Rattlesnakes on hill that they call Snake Hill to this day. And Isaac Lawrence had a bitch that used to go ont and be gone three days at time {; and she would come home all swelled up by being bitten by the snakes. Then she would dig holes in the earth, and bury herself up till it drew out all the poison; and then she would go out again-and thus she did till her hair all came off and then they killed her.

Profit In Arresting Deserters.

"The members of the police depart ment are continually on the watch for deserters from the army or navy" ex- plained the man about town. ''The reason is that the government sets a price of $25 upon the deserter's head, Of course policemen are anxious to gain the reward and are on the watch.
 'The Bowery is the district most fire quented by deserters, and that is the first place in the city where search Is made for them. A score of deserters are picked up along this thorOughfare every year.
 Before a member of the police de partment can accept the reward for catching a deserter his claim must be approved by the commissioner. Even then he does not draw the entire amount, for the usual deduction for the police pension fund is made."- New York Sun.

Trickad Him.

It was pay day at the Consolidated Coal and Lumber works, and a mine worker was returning home with his monthly envelope. He met bad man with a pistol, who demanded his wages. The worker handed the money over.
 'Now," said he, my wife will think that I've gambled or drunk. Won't you shoot hole in my coat, so that I can prove that I was attacked and robbed?"
 Why, certainly so," answered the robber.
 The worker held out his coattail while the other punctured it with a bullet.
 Another" begged the worker, and the other fired again. ,@
 Another" and there was another hole in the garment, another and still another.
 That's all the cartridges I've got" said the robber.

An Arab who visited New York city is said to have sent this letter home: People in America travel like rats under the ground [meaning the sub- way1, and like squirrels in the air [meaning the elevated railwaysl, and the buildings are so high that people have to be put in square boxes and pulled to the top by heavy ropes meaning the elevatorl.

The Antis.

That the woman suffrage movement received a fatal blow when the Demo cratic party refused last week to indorse 1t in any way. and that henceforward the anti-suffragists can beat the suf fragists in any state in which a contest may be started, are the salIent assertions contained in statement given out here this afternoon by Mrs Arthur M. Dodge of New York, presi dent of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage.
 Mrs. Dodge foresees the ultimate defeat of woman suffrage because, she declares, the politicians of the country have awakened to a realization of the fact that the boasted strength of the suffragists is lGrgely mythical. The antis, she says, will make fight in every state. In her statement she continues ::
 "The National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage is now in position to fight the equal franchise propaganda ou clearcut, definite lines. The suffragists, deprived of their forlorn hope of federal interference, must meet us in the individual states, which is exactly what they have not wanted to do. They fear the result of having the issue decided by contests in which the wishes of all the women of all this country will finally prevail.
 During the past week the Demo cratic party, speaking on three distinct, separate occasions once from the White House, once from the floor of the House of Representatives and once in the Demo- cratic caucus of the House, has voiced it's final and unalterable opposition to the program of the suffragists to make the equal franchise national issue. This makes it certain that neither of the two great parties in national politics will take up the burden of woman suffrage"

Methuselah Practiced It.

Says Benjamin Franklin in his little essay "On the Art of Procuring Pleas ant Dreans:"
 Tt is recorded that Methusalem, who being the longest liver, may be SUD- posed to have best preserved his health, that he slept always in the open air, for when he had lived 800 years an angel said to him, Arise, Methusalem, and build thee an house, for thou shalt live 800 years longer But Methusa- lem answered and said: If I am to live but 800 years longer, it is not worth while to build me an house. I will sleep in the air, as I have been used to do.'"
 This dialogue is not reported in the fifth chapter of Genesis, to be sure, but it is reproduced here out of respect to Franklin as evidence that outdoor sleeping is no fad, but a wise return to the manners of our ancestors Harper's Weekly. 7.

Executive Board of Connecticut Associ-
 alton Meet in New York.

E&eCuCINe bOdTu or TSOnneCtCut NSSOCi- alton Meet in New York. A special meeting of the Executive Board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Assoclation was held oD Tues day in New York. New York was cho- sen for the place of meeting because the immediate cause of the meeting was to hear the case of the Congressional Committee at Washington put forward by Mrs. MediIl Mccormick. Mrs. Mccormick and the officers of the Con- necticut Association assembled at the home of Mrs Ernest Thompson Seton who is Vice. President of the Association and who is spending the winter months In New York City. The dissension between the Congressional Unlon and the Congressional Committee of the National American Woman suffrage Association has been a matter of deep concern to the Connecticut women and the meeting of Tuesday was one of a series of steps having in view the heal ing of the breach.
 The O. W. s. A. is affiliated with the Nat-Am. W. $. A. but many of it's mem bers are also members of the Congress- ional Union and are strong supporters of the policy of Miss Paul and Miss Burns. AS the division between the Union and the Congressional Committee is on the question of policy, the Con- necticut women are making a close study of the comparative merits of the policy put forward by the Congressional Union and that advocated by the Congressional Committee. No authoritative statement has yet been made as to the conclusions arrived at by the Executive Board of the O. W. $. A.

A craving for a vision of the old
sights came over Stafford. He would
go to Torrens tomorrow. He would
mingle unobserved with the men, see
some of his contemporaries, I'M
known to them. At the bottom of his
heart there was the hope which he
dared not put into words-of seeing
Mary. But that miracle seemed I'M
believable. How glad he would be
just to tread the campus again and
feel that, for an hour, he had renewed
those memories of the past.
He took the train the next after
noon, arriving about four O'Clock.
When he set foot upon the campus
turf he felt that he was young man
in spirit again. Insensibly he stood
erect and flung back his shoulders.
He stood among the little groups that
we're awaiting the presidents arrival.
But soon he was lost in day-dream,
from which he did not awaken until
somebody touched him on the Shout
der. He looked up into the kindly,
quizzical face of Routledge. The pres
ident seemed untouched by the years.
Stafford looked down in embarrass-
ment at his shabby suit.
. ''It is Stafford, isn't it," asked
Routledge kindly. BLESS me, my dear
boy, where have you been all these
years?"
Stafford stammered some unintelli-
gible reply.
"You are coming to the dinner, of
course" Routledge continued. mo

alumnus is invited. And you-why,

a touch of the old asperity in his
manner.
