PAWN ALL KINDS OF ARTICLES
Men and Women Who Patronlze Their
"UncIe" Find Him Willing to
Take Any Chance.

There Is scarcely anything In this
wide world that person up against 1t
financially can't pawn, for the pawn
broker is q gambler, whose instincts
either are acquired or born in him, and
he will take chance on anything pro-
yided the article is not falling to pieces.
Women, according to the pawn
broker, work their own ruin frequently
by liquor and drug addiction, but in a
great many cases it Is derelict hus-
bands who cause the women to patron
lie the pawnshop. And the woman
makes the sacrifice to protect her chill
dren.
"a woman who is struggling to save
her children" the pawnbroker said,
twill begin by pawning household
things. The alarm clock or another
kind of clock will go first. Then she
will sacrifice O few dishes. Maybe
some of the furniture will go next. Her
clothes will remain for the last, be-
cause she needs clothes in her quest
for work. The best clothes will be
saved, If at all possible, but l have
known hundreds of cases where they
have pawned corsets to keep the fam
lily supplied with q bite of food In
times Of want"
In things offered for pawn the three
ball man says that raZors lead by q
wide margin, while alarm clocks,
strange as it may seem, come second
Umbrellas, too, are a common article
to be pawned. And only about thirty
per cent of these articles eventually
are redeemed

biography Holds the Readers Atten-
tlon More Than Does Any Form
of Literary Endeayor.

Reading biography will furnish you
with a peculiar and rare form of en-
tertainment, for besides the subject IN
hand biography legitimately treats OF
the foibles, the fashions and the Pc
culiarities of the age with when IL
deals, says Youths Companion. His
tory although it may have its lighter
moments, is essentially sober; but BIZ
ography, although it is never merely
farcical or satirical, may touch wildly
upon the lighter phases of life, and
take you, as it were, into quaint and
delightful byways, through private
parks and into remote and lovely
fields.
Indeed" wrote Boswell in his In
PRODUCTION to his famous biography, L
cannot conceive q more perfect mode
of writing any mans life than by not
only relating the most important
events of 1t in their order, but by In
terweaving what he privately wrote
and said and thought; by which man
kind are enabled, as 1t were, to see
him live, and to live DER each scene
with him, as he actually advanced
through the several stages Of his
life"
Biography, treated In that manner,
must inevitably include much that Is
delightfully."- diverting. 1t will give you
"the table talk Of the great" 1t will
recount those fascinating little incl
dents and anecdotes that history so
often regards as beneath its notice.
It will afford far more than a running
account of life, beginning with a
pedigree and ending with funeral"

American Norman.

Our American woman has become
emancipated over night, she has
emerged from her chrysalis stage OF
humble dependent to the butterfly
stage, full-winged and jeweled, in the
same brief time the transformation
takes place in the lower order of ma
ture.
From having been negligible and
voiceless she is now fixed quantity
and vociferous.
Her suddenly gained freedom has
made her feverish, restless, excited
to do things.
Her justification for what she has
won, and her plea for still larger pow
er, is her moral superiority.

erick II. Babbitt of Bellows Falls, in
creased the number of the board OF di-
rectors from Ave to seven members and
listened to outlines of what the associa.
tion plans TO accomplish the coming
year. The speakers this forenoon in.
cluded the president, Vice. President

the association the past year to increase
the membership, which would bring in
creased interest and cooperation, rather
than increase the financial strength.
Vice President Vail followed the presi-
dent and briefly outlined what the asso-
citation plans to do, admired the high |
aims and urged the members to do all
the small things possible to help in the
general development of the state and !
that money must be expended |
in doing the work outlined.
Mr.. Wilson led in the discussion on |
what work may be accomplished by |
boards of trade, civic. commercial and I
agricultural associations. He explained
why board of trade or other organiza-
lion rouses a community to thought and
,ction about community interests and
low a system of committees can be or
ysnized and be efficient.
He took up the matters Of obtaining
members for such organizations, what

DEMAND MEN
BE TAKEN BACK
Portland, Me- Street Car Men Struck on
Half Hours Notice-Service Is
Now Nearly Tied Up.

Portland, Me-, July l3.--The street car
service of Portland and suburbs remained
practically at standstill to-day as the
result of the strike yesterday by $50
linemen, motormen and conductors of
the Cumberland County Power & Light
Co. for the reinstatement of several dis
charged employees The cars on the Lew
iston line, operated by another company,
continued to run; but only few of the
Cumberland company's cars were taken
from the barns, and they were closely
guarded.
In explaining the action of the strikers,
who gave the company only 30 minutes
to comply with an ultimatum, Charles
Roux, chairman of the strike committee,
said the time was brief, the company be-
ing rendered the same treatment as the
discharged workmen received The men,
he said were summarily discharged and
no reason was given. In addition to the
reinstatement of these men, the strikers
ask for recognition of the union.
But twice since the trolley car service
was instituted in Portland in 1891 have
the car lines of the company been brought
to a full stop. The first instance was
for five minutes at the time of the fu-
neral of President Mckinley, and the
second a few months ago when a similar
tribute was paid the late president of
the road, Charles F. Libby.
The strike came with such suddenness
that it found the railroad company quite

Acting Secretary Polk indicated that

Deutschland's status as a peaceful mer-
chantmsn and desires to consult the neu-
trality board only in order to give added

Diplomats of the allied countries re-

presumably Norwegian, Swedish or

AS STRONG AS EVER
But Anglo French Offensive is Met By
Reinforcements.

London, July 13.-The Anglo French
offensive is maintaining itself as rigor
ously as ever against the most deter
mined attacks, which the Germans now
are delivering against the front in North
ern France. The Germans have thrown
reinforcements to the breach, having had
ample time to recover from the first
shock and the unexpected strength of
the British and French attacks.
There is no doubt the Germans had
supposed the French to be enfeebed
greatly south of the Somme because of
the number of troops needed in the de-
feuse Of the Verdun against the forces
of the German crown prince.
The fact that the allies are progress
ing so methodically, and even against
German attacks, gives the people of the
British and French nations the greatest
satisfaction.
General Haig. in a brief bulletin last
night, recounts the recovery by the Brit
ish of all ground lost Tuesday in the

tells also of the repulse of two heavy
German attacks against ContaImaisen.

Mr.. Arredondo has not disclosed what

Whether the question submitted TO the
