THE NEW WOMAN.

In the olden days 1t was perhaps a woman who stepped into a stage coach and started on Journey from Kansas City to Denver or Denver to @Salt Lake. There was every element #of danger in the trip, bandits bad roads, and runaway horses. Now it Ms nothing for a woman to jump in #her biplane point its nose for some &d1stant city and arrive there on #schedule time. or ahead of any train 2schedule..
 Yesterday Miss Ruth Law left. the aviation park at Chicago and six hours later landed outside of Bir- Harrington, N. Y. She completed her Journey to New York City this morn Ing. making 6 record for the distance, Had it not been for late start from Chicago she might have reached New Fork city last night, thus accomplish ang 8 feat that men have tried and Failed to do. She was not serious in her first flight. Now she is determine ed fo make the linking flight between New York and Chicago between sum- rise and sundown
 & This is indeed the new age of wom An. The flight of Miss Ruth dem- bngtrates better than anything else khat woman has won her indepen- tdenoe in every way. She has fowr Free from the bondage that civilization
 aas placed upon her, more as tradition &han anything else. There IS now nc Held of endeavor that she cannot en. ter and compete with men. The marts
 bf trade. the professions, all are oper 10 her. The realms of literature ant
 lrtH have ever known the touch of the feminine hand and mind, so she is moi
 stranger there. Having annexed
 viation as an avocation. the Ameri-
 an woman. at least. seems to enjoy
 Der full share of freedom.

The Fairfield County Vote. (HartfOrd TimeS,)

We were suggesting to Fairfield by Col. Nod Osborn as "suspicious'' in toto and consigned by him to stew in it's own unpalat- able juice"-that 1t watch itself. We were suggesting to the rest of the state that it watch Fairfield county. And we further suggested that this watchful waiting be pursued with par ticular reference to "One man." We think it might be profitable, we know lot of other people think it might be profitable, we think the Waterbury American thinks it might be profitable and we are inclined to believe the "one man" himself apprehends it might be profitable. If we get him watched and make him timid we shall accomplish much more for the pub- lie good than we should by printing his name and thereby putting him in a position to secure an official al- though spacious, vindication.

Instead of baking every attempt

Instead of baking every attempt of the United States to straighten out the Mexican tangles the chieftains and leaders of that country should thank their stars that the United States has ever dealt with a gloved hand and not a mailed fist. Because they have been Eoath to see the friendliness of Uncle Sam in all his dealings with that poor forsaken country, the powers that be in Mexico have brought about a con- dition whereby the American-Mexican joint commission which has been try ing to reach an agreement may be dis Lane arrived in Atlantic City today with instructions to end the confer ence in a short time whether an agree ment is reached or not. The stum- bling block in the whole affair has been Luis Cabrera, Carranza's minis ter of finance, and president of the tions will probably end with the sug- gestion originally advanced by the American conferees that each govern ment patrol it's own side of the border independently, it being understood that American troops will be sent into Mexico on punitive expeditions when ever Mexican bandits attack border towns.

The Influence of the Press,
(Exchange).

Three institutions there are which exercise 8 most cogent influence upon how the American public thinks" says the New York Posts essayist
 They are the public school system, the Christian church And the press of the country. The schools never reach more than twenty per cent. of the population at one time, and even to that portion of the public which they do reach their sphere of influence is limited. The appeal of the church Is probably even less universal as

The three little kittens washed their mittens
And hung them up to dry.
Oh, mother dear, do you not hear
That we have washed our mittensf "
Sure enough, the mittens were all
washed and neatly hung up on the
clothes line. Puss Junior had helped
them hang them up. AS the clothes
line was too high Puss had brought
out a small stepladder. The kittens
had stood close by with their little
paws full of clothespins. And every
time Puss needed a pin one OF the
kittens had climbed up a little ways
on the stepladder and handed him one.
When all was finished Mrs. Cat came
to the window and said:
Washed your mittens! Oh, you're good kittens;
But l smell a rat close by.
Hush Hush! Meeow, meeoW."
We smell rat close by,
Meow, mee-oow, meeOw!'
On hearing this Puss rushed around
the side of the house. He expected
to find that the rat that ate the malt
that lay in the house that Jack built
had returned. But Mrs. Cat had evi-
IDENTIFY made a mistake, for there was
no rat to be seen. Instead, however,
there stood the little mouse that had
told black kitty where the lost mittens
were to be found
What do you want?" asked Puss
Junior, kindly.
81 think the three little kittens have
forgotten all about their promise to
give me three little pieces of pie crust d"
she replied. I've been waiting in the
barn all this time, but they have not
come out to see me-"
Kittens Puss called out. In
stantly all three kittens came tum-
bling around the side of the housr
The little mouse ran off some dis
tance and then stood still.
Did you forget all about saving
some pie crust for the little mouse
and her two children" asked Puss.
"Of course not" they all replied at
once.
II tucked a little piece under my
plate" said the gray kitten.
"T put a little piece in the old
clock" said the tabby kitten.
And I put mine behind the big
shell on the mantlepiecew cried the
black kitty.
60 and fetch them," said Puss, "for
Mrs. Mouse can't be kept waiting here
and, besides, her babies will be cry
ing for her out in the barn"
The three little kittens ran into the
house and presently returned with
their pie crust.
we'll carry it out to the barn for
your they cried. So the little mouse
ran ahead and ..oA she reached her
hole in the barn, she turned round and
waited for the kittens, who placed the
three little pieces of pie crust on the
floor close to it. And when they had
gone the little mouse came out and
carried the pie crust into her house.
