SUFFRAGE NEAR
FOR PORTO RICO
House Adopts Amendment
Granting the Ballot
to Women.
From Ths rrfhuns Bureau.

Washington, May ga rollcall OF
the House on woman suffrage will be
taken tomorrow, thus setting at
naught all the careful maneuvring of
the ants to avoid a vote on this issue
before the November election.
With most OF the Democratic mem
bers Of the House at the ball game this
afternoon, Republican Floor Leader
Mann Slipped one over" for the suf-
fragists. An amendment extending the
ballot TO the women OF Porto Rico was
proposed by Mr.. Mann. and adopted by
the House in committee Of the whole
by the small but decisive vote Of 60
to 81.
The amendment is now part of the
bill reorganizing the government OF
the island, to the other provisions of
which there is no particular objection,
Chairman Jones Of the Insular Affairs
Committee having the members of both
parties on his committee with him for
the bill.
Mr.. Mann's amendment was declared
adopted by viva voce vote, but, on the
protest of Chairman Jones, who after
his experience with the Philippines bill
several weeks ago is anxious to avoid
complications of any sort, tellers were
appointed and those present counted.
Just before the House adjourned an
agreement was reached that there
would be a rollcall on the amendment
the first thing tomorrow morning,
without any debate. After the rollcall
the bill will be passed, as all the other
amendments, by unanimous consent,
have been considered as adopted.
Mr. Mann explained that he offered
the suffrage amendment because OF the
requirements of the bill, which would
make it impossible for any person who
did not read either Spanish or English
or pay SO taxes annually TO vote.
"There are many women IN Porto
Rico who read both Spanish and Eng
lish and pay more than So annual taxes,
and it would be unfair to deny them
the vote" said he.

report to the Board of Education rec
ommending that the ''work-study-play

ulum.'
The matter Of extending the plan

fore the school authorities and the

THE WORLD is FULL OF LITTLE MEN"

The world is full of little and when
They talk of love and all its wondrOus pain
And how its strength is the strength OF ten
And how its loss is still for aye its gain.
Nv thoughts fly back to that white queen who hred
The walls of Troy and how her husband fought
Ten weary wears and still remained untircd'
So dear the goal, so rich the prize he sought
And then ! wonder II the men | see
Would even fight ten minutes for their queen
And somehow doubt it, knowing them to be
Hard headed men of labor, sharp and keen
And vet their inner feelings might dismay u.s.
For there nav burn the fires of Menelaus.

CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE
THE LITTLE JADE GOD OF DREAMS

WI VT DRGHmO
in white which the tropic moon made
almost lustrous.
He was alone and his two thin lips
were pressed closely together, max
ing only scarlet line.
. For the first time 1 recognized NAL
colin Stuart, but his brown eyes
were somber, not a flicker of that
smile which l had always seen in
them-a smile which rarely reached
his lips.
For long time he sat quite still
in the steamer chair that was drawn
close to the rail, but he did not seem
to be seeing the path of silver that
led up from the side of the boat to
heaven itself.
He finally got up with an impatient
sigh and opening tightly-closed
hand disclosed lying in the palm the
twin to my little jade god.
With bitter lifting of the thin lips
into what might have been a smile
of derision for himself, he made as
though to throw the bauble of super
stition into the sea, and then, SEEM
ingly thinking better of it, he slipped
it into his pocket.
Slowly the picture faded. 1 open
ed my eyes, but am sure had not
been asleep.
Tightly clasped in my hand was the
bit of carved jade.
L too, would have been tempted
to throw it far out into the street if
1 could have gotten to my window,
but as 1 could not slipped the little
god, who evidently was the god of
creams as well as good luck, under
my pillow and went to sleep to dream
no more.
