TWO NOTED SPEAKERS
Henry Allen and Daniel Puling
Speak For Suffrage.

Sunday afternoon in Penn Auditor
jun a good sized audience listened to
Henry J. Allen, the we'll known Wich-
tia editor and orator. Mr.. Allen is
fluent and witty speaker and gave a
ringing eXhOrtatiOn to Iowa men to
trust women with the ballot. He de-
Clared that there was not a single
reason worthy of consideration by
first class mind why women should
not have the ballot. Actual expert
CnCe shows that not single one of
the prophecies of dire results that
would come either to the women or
10 the state through wOman's partiCl-
patton in politics has proved true. He
showed how in his own state Kansas
women were proving more earnest
voters than men had been. Within
two weeks after they were given the
ballot they began to have study clubs
in order to get clearer understand
ing of political affairs. He declared
that the campaign against suffrage
had arisen by no accident but was
largely generated and financed by I'M
clean interests.

Mothers of Men" in the court room
Saturday afternoon was a most elo-
quent plea for giving the ballot to
mothers in order that they may bet

frage but came to find In it a most
valuable means for carrying out good
purposes. Mr.. Polling justified his rep

most sanitary room in the house should
be used as the ehild's sleeping apart

summer day out of doors, with blue
sky, gentle breeze stirring, the odor
of growing things in the air---in short,
perfect day. The emotion you feel in
such surroundings is hard to express, yet
until you can feel this on entering the
child's room, you have not we'll chosen
the room or have been negleetful in
its treatment and appointment The
grotesque in decoration for the child
have always held as being a mistaken
idea of what appeals TO him. Mature
faking"-cows with arms and hands,
with all the accomplishments OF
man, elephants going to market, etc,
is all very well for occasional amuse-
ment, but it is mistake to use such
posters for permanent decorations in
any place where the child will have
them as a steady diet. Always appeal
to the love of the beautiful that is born
in every child; the very best place to
start is in the treatment of the quar-
ters he is to occupy.-M A. Harring

Brattleboro Woman Finds Silver Stolen.

Mrs. William Cushman of Brattleboro
discovered Wednesday evening, when she
went to a drawer to get special article
of silverware for the table, that the
house had been burglarized.> Further
search revealed the fact that practically
everything in the line of silverware which
was not on the dining room table had
been stolen. In some instances the boxes
that contained the articles had been tax
en-.
The thief or thieves had been careful
not TO take anything on the table, and
in that way made it uncertain just when
the burglary occurred. Mrs. Cushman
remembers that on Monday evening she
and Mr.. Cushman went out to supper
and probably left the house unlocked
She remembers that when she entered
the dining room Tuesday morning she
found the curtains drawn, whereas they
are usually left up day and night. She
thought nothing of it at the time, but
she is now inclined to the belief that the
robbery was committed Monday night.
The police have been notified.

Was Once a Patient at Brattleboro
Retreat.

Harold L. Severy, 25, arrested in Sche
nectady, N. Y, in connection with thu
shooting of four persons in Albany, n
Y, last Friday, one fatally, escaped from
the Brattleboro retreat in September
1911. Since then he has been employed
in different eastern cities, and as HI
showed no dangerous tendencies, his ia.
Their, Melvin l.. Severy, now resident
of Los Angeles, Gal, who has known fol
some years the whereabouts of his son
did not consider it necessary to inform
the authorities.
DIR. S. +. Lawton, superintendent OF
the Brattleboro retreat, SAYS that Sew.
cry came to the institution June rs, l0ll
as a private patient. having been trans
ferred from the Westboro, Mass, asylum
by his father, who desired that he should
be placed as a parole patient where he
had a country atmosphere.
Dr. Lawton understands that he had
been a parole patient at Westboro, and
at first he was granted the privilege at
Brattleboro of being without special re-
straint, in accordance with the wish of
his father.
He had strong delusion that he was
being prosecuted and complained fire.
quently that he could not sleep because
voices were constantly accusing him of
unpleasant things, and his parole priv
ilege was withdrawn soon after he came
to the retreat.
He succeeded in concealing in his bed
a small piece of iron he had obtained
while walking and with this managed to
remove the guard from his window and
one night in September, 1911, escaped
by means Of a rope made of bed clothes.
The retreat authorities, DR.. Lawton
said, Immediately notified the police of
cities and also notified his
father, who at the time was living at
Arlington Heights, near Boston, but so
far as the retreat knew, nothing resulted
from the notice of the escape sent to the
police of all of the big cities of the East.
