WOMAN REPRESENTED
ONLY AT THE POLLS
Man Lets Her Speak for Her
self When in Trouble, Says
Suffragist

If woman is responsible for
an accident, if she defaults on
her contracts, if she ISLANDERS her
neighbors, is any man arrested,
sued, bound over to keep the
peace?
If a woman steals from her
employer, does her father, broth
err, husband or son serve out
her term in prison?
If a woman kills somebody,
what man represents her in the
prisoners dock during her trial.
What man represents her in the
electric chair if she is convicted :?
If a widow or unmarried wom-
an fails to pay her taxes, is the
property of a male relative Or
of the man next door sold to sat
isfy the debt to the state?
If a woman FORCES a check,
does her father, her husband,
her employer go to jail for fell
ony?
Why is it that the only place
in the world where man wants
to represent woman is at the
ballot box?

TRAILING THE DEAD BEAT

There should be a credit or
ganization perfected in this city.
The time has come to put stop
to the practice of dead beats
running accounts, and then re-
fusing to pay. When such a
person is refused credit by our
merchants because he has failed
to pay his old debts there will
be an end to dead beating as a
business. How do they bring
them to time? Very simple.
Once a month dead beat accounts
are advertised for sale. No hon
est man would be troubled. The
dead beat is the fellow who
would be made to come up to
scratch and be honest for once
in his life. Every business man
in town has such accounts. Why
not put a stop to such fellows
getting credit anywhere ?-Daw-
son Sentinel.

THINK ON THIS

This is the popular puzzle over
the state just now. A banker
going home to dinner saw a $40
bill on the curbstone. He picked
it up, noticed tho number, and
went home to dinner. While
home his wife remarked that
the butcher had sent a bill
amounting to $40. The only
money he had was the bill he
had found, which he gave to
her and she paid the butcher. The
butcher paid it to a farmer for
a calf, the farmer to a mer-
chant, who paid it to a washer
woman and she owing the bank
er a note for $40 went to the
bank and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as
the one he had found, and which
at that time had paid 500 worth
Of debts. On careful examina-
tion he found it to be a counter
felt. Now what was lost in the
transaction and by whom Eek.

When you see empty bottles

locks bad-and suspicious.
When you see papers blowing

that people are thoughtless and
careless. It is bad.
When you see broken glass

TREES AS BAROMETERS
Why 1t Is a Sign of Rain When
the Leaves Show Their
Backs

Persons who are close observ-
ers have frequently seen the
trees when the foliage presents
a much different appearance
from that ordinarily seen. This
is more noticeable in poplar and
silver leaf trees.
The odd appearance is due to
the fact that the backs of the
leaves are turned up, showing
the under sides, which are, as a
rule, lighter color than the up
per side. Some of the leaves
are such light green as to ap-
pear almost white when the
backs show in the sunshine.
This behavior of the leaves is
due to an unusually low barome-
trio condition of the atmosphere,
which causes the leaves to curl
a little and tip up in the breeze
to such an extent as to show
their backs or under sides.
The low barometric condition
produces local showers, and it is
always safe to predict rainfall
when the leaves are seen to have
their backs up. Long before the
white man came to America In
dams knew of this sign and
placed great reliance on it. Sci
ence also finds knowledge Of it
among savage tribes of Asia,
Africa and the Pacific islands.
