HELENA, Mont, Nov. 16. -
Politics are not the only inter-
ests of Miss Jeanette Rankin,
FIRST CONVERSATIONAL IN
THE UNITED STATES, just
elected on the republican ticket in
Montana.
Miss Rankin makes her
own garments, designs her
own hats and does her own
cooking.
The congresswoman's platform
Is: Nationar woman suffrage,
child welfare, tariff revision, ma
tion-wide prohibition and greater
publicity in congressional records.
Mrs. Frances G. Axtell of Bel
bingham, appeared for a time as
likely to be elected from the
northwestern district in this state,
and would have shared with Miss
Rankin the honor of being the
first woman representative. She

No one heard her. The other
onlooker, now wholly alienist, sat
with tense nerves awaiting the
outcome.
The yellow paper was crushed
in the mans convulsive hand. Both
watchers shivered visibly. He had
found his past, the past that was
his before they knew him. He was
now agonizing over the tragedy
that had shocked his brain into a
state of dissertation year before.
Would the cutoff sensations of a
year ago continue now on their
paths as though no time had
elapsed between then and now?
Or would he have the memories of
both past and present conscious
ness synthesized?
Neither the friend who loved
him nor the woman who had
wronged him took cognizance of
his suffering.
Would he know them?
He staggered to his feet, held
out the yellow slip to the doctor in
silence; then walked to the win
down, pressing his forehead
against the cold pane.
The telegram read:
LOMNAY, Cal, April 7, 1904.
Mr.. Keith Edgerton, Hotel 1mpe-
rial, New York City:

Meantime the child had run into

lap, making extravagant love to
him. The boy, always affection

Suddenly he ceased his chatter
and clasped the man frantically
around the neck.
"Why-why, 're-crying!"

sorry cause I'm going to be sick.

The breakfast the next morning
was silent one. AS they left the
breakfast room they encountered
Doctor Underwood in the hall.
Their greetings over, the child
looked wistfully from face to face,

stood at the foot of the broad
stairway as the man reached the
upper landing, curiously pathetic.
Both looked down, drawn by the
child's aching sigh.

the doctor.
