BAN PUT ON GRASS WIDOWS
Officlal Announcement Made That
They May Not Work in Govern
ment Departments.

Any married woman who has
sawed off diplomatic relations with
friend husband and is making her
own way in the world will have to
get a divorce if she seeks a position
in the post Office department at
Washington, d. c.
A divorced or widowed woman
may work in the post office if she
fills other necessary requirements. a
married woman, even if she merely
has a wild ambition to help her hus-
band multiply the bank account, will
have to use her talents elsewhere.
Nothing doing for her, according to
a decision of Uncle Samuel.
Announcement of a competitive
examination for October 2 by the
United States civil service officials
disclosed the fact that a recent order
of the post Office department bars
from those examinations women who
may be separated from their hus-
bands and who have to earn their
own living.
Married women have been elimi-
mated for long time, but heretofore
an exception has been made in the
case of women who were married but
not working at the matrimonial
counter. The new order is strict.
Any grass widow must first get a
divorce if she wants to work in the
post office.

PATS CONVERSATION.

Pat was called into court to tes-
tify to a talk he had with the de-
PENDANT in a civil suit, and every
thing went along as swimmingly as
a flock of bullfrogs until the lawyer
attempted to bring out the impor.
tant points of the conversation.
"Now, then, Pat" said he, encour-
agingly, please tell the court what
you and the defendant talked
about"
"Yis, sor," answered Pat willing
ly. eve talked about fifteen min
utes."
"No, no, mop interposed the law
yer. 81 mean, what did you and the
defendant talk over?"
"Yis, sor," was the calm rejoinder
of Pat. eve talked over the tele-
phone, sor." - Philadelphia Tele-

Incident Of the Battlefield Thar un.
fortunately Is Nothing but
Fantasy.

Somewhere in France occurred
this thing which | shall now unfold,
a very wonderful event, incredible,
Pm told; and yet il happened that
one day, when all the shuddering
earth was sobbing like a stricken
thing before a devils mirth, a baby
walked between the lines, and whence
ii came none knew.
Then Hans choked out: "Mein
baby, ach! l think it must be you p
and thereupon he dropped his gun
and leaped from out the trench.
But not one whit more slow ran
Pierre to meet him, from the French.
And after Hans the Germans
streamed, each thinking that the
child was his own babe. Now while
this horde Of unkempt men and wild
rolled on, the French ran after Pierre
and each one called to each:
mine, mine, Penfant lss mine, lss
mine. By gar, re little peach!''
And so from out each ditch and
trench the homesick men poured on,
till millions met between the lines,
and not one bore a gun.
The babe? All, it was lost to
sight. What matter, though, its
end? For, 10! each fighter made
among the foe a ready friend.
eve fight no more," these mil
lions cried. "No more at friends we

That ended it; the war was DER

Customary for Parents 10 Receive
Money When Their Daughters
Are Married.

The Turkish women are TO be
counted among the most industrious
women Of the earth. They certainly
do vast amount Of work. They
make carpets, screens for doors,
workbags, horse clothing and blan-
kets. A Turkish girl makes all the
kibitka or tent domestic carpets and
other household requisites before she
is married. If she gets married
without completing this task, it is
expected that she will, by her own
labor, refund the money which her
parents have given her as her dowry.
This dowry usually consists Of a
hundred sheep and a certain amount
of money, which bridegroom pays
down in lump sum to the parents
Of the bride. He also treats his
friends to a succession of horse races
and other sports. An important
part is to decorate camel with the
handsomest trappings, which are
sent to the brides tent. On this she
goes forth to receive congratulations
of her relatives and friends. 1t is
on this she is carried away by the
female relatives of the bridegroom.
She and her attendants feign to re-
sist the act by throwing raw oats at
the other women.

OPPOSE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Rcprcsentive Saunders Fears it Would
Inaugurate Militarism

Representative Edward Saunders,
of Virginia, yesterday came out with
IA brand-new argument against wo-
man suffrage. fie told delegation
of women who called on him that he
was honestly afraid to give them
the vote, for he was opposed to the
preparedness agitation and so many
5uffragists recently had declared
themselves in favor of an increase IL
armament that he feared suffrage
would bring with its mi!itarism.
The delegation was composed of
Virginia suffragitst interested in the
enactment at the next session of Con-
gress of the Susan 3. Anthony
amendment. When he came out with
his statement linking nilitarism and
suffrage. the women 2hrew up Their
arms in protest. Tnsy explained that
suffragists were disagreed on the sub
ject of national defense. but that they
stood as Il unit in holding that they
had the right to express their indi-
vidual opinion on the matter through
the ballot.
Mr.. Saunders told the delegation
that his women relatives in Virginia
were suffrage workers. The Consti-
tuition and the spirit of the age must
be one" he said with an air Of tina-
lity.
Miss Elsie Hill outlined the purpose
of the visit. She was followed by Mrs.
Francis Berger Moran, a grandnlece
of Mrs. Bushrod Washington, whose
husband inherited Mount Vernon
from George Washington. Among the
other delegates were Mrs. Stuart
Mosby Coleman, daughter of Col.
John Mosby; Mrs. John .Azlctt Nicol,

When the door Of the death cell.
was opened Millstrom, leaped upon
the guards, swinging his club. fierce.
" on the heads. severely cutting
one about the scalp and face.
The guards sprang upon Hillstrom
and overpowered him.
Up to the moment he came out OF
the cell he had not shown a sign OF
resisting and his assault took the Of
ficials completely by surprise.
81 will die fighting--not like a
coward" he screamed while the
guards pinioned his arms to his sides.
They urged him to be quiet and go
to the death chair quietly. When fur
ther resistance was useless Hillstrom
settled down suddenly to an apathet"
calm.
"Now can die with clear corscl-
ence." he said.
The march TO the firing squad was

placed tightly across his eyes and
around his head.

Renewal of Attack to Gain Lost
Ground is Expected.

Rotterdam. Nov. 199.-There is &
great renewal of activity from Ipres
to Arras.
The artillery actions are heavier
THAN any that have yet been known
with the exception of that preceding
the allies offensive in September
There has also been severe infantry
fighting.
Despite the fearful expenditure OF
life by the Germans in their frultIess
efforts to regain the ground lost in
September, there are indications that
they are preparing a renewa! of the
attacks.
Day and night their artillery mas
bombarded the positions which the
French and British recently conquer
ed. Internationally their infantry has
attacked the trenches at Loos. and
also in the neighhorhood of Souches;
but any arrangements which they
have made for big offensive has been
completely upset by the allies, gun
ners, who have sienced many of the
German batteries and prevented them
from making use of their reserve
troops at critical moments.
