some way from the castle. They were
by a spring which bubbled up between
the rocks, so they rested and drank
the cool water from their hands.
Over the spring was a tall. thich

Boston-Boston women are resent
ing the suggestion of a prominent
Bostonian that modern woman repudi-
ates her duty to society and that her
attitude will destroy that same So
ciety. Brooks Adams, grandson of
John Quincy Adams, is the man who
has stirred up the arugment. He wrote
in the Yale Review that women ought
to sacrifice themselves for the good
of the whole in the spirit of the sol
dier on the field OF battle. He be
lieves that the surplus women in Mas
sachusetts should either stand on
their own feet, economically, or starve
He took particular objection to Miss
| Jane Adams feminism, which de
mands a minimum wage for all won
en- workers. The views of Adams have
brought vigorous arguments from thu
women, and he is the center of a tor
nado of disapprovaI.

LITTLE HOPE FOR AMENDMENT If
Iate of = Counties Shows It 5000
 Behind Necessary Majority.

lit le Rock, Nov. 16.-Although Amendment No. II, the good roads amendment increased it's lead in the official votes received yesterday from IS counties, it's vote is still considera- ply less than as majority of the total vote cast for governor, and it's defeat seems certain
 The official vote from 70 of the 75 counties and complete but unofficial returns from two of the five others showed the amendment received IT. 535. which was about 5000 less than half the total vote cast for governor.
 The three counties not included are: Jackson, White and Woodruff. Their vote might change the result, but this is improbable. Returns from the five precincts received from Jackson coun- tY give AIS for and 12S against the amendment. Four precincts received from White county give 91 for and 66 against tie amendment. Nine precincts received from Woodruff county give 2t3 for and B against. It is probable that the official vote from these coun- l!es VII! be available today.
