THE ORIGINAL TOMMY ATKINS
He was u Gunner Who Could Keep
Pay Account.

The name Thomas Atkins, the pop
ular word for the British private SOL
dicr, originated in the signature to
specimen official model for keeping
soldiers accounts, in all probability,
according to the Cornhill Magazine.
The difficulty is to identify the par
ticular individual. by far the best
case so far made out is that for
gunner in the royal artillery.
In the old days, when George III
was king, life in the ranks of the
British army was very hard and the
men saw little pay. Even as late as
the nineteenth century soldiers ac-
counts were anything but well kept.
Many of the men could not read ana
were dependent for their just dues
on the hosesty of their pay sergeant.
Suddenly there arose born account
ant in the person of gunner in the
royal regiment OF artillery, who was
named Thomas Atkins. He soon be-
came an object of admiration to his
comrades and an object of awe to the
pay sergeants Even some of the Of
fcers at first regarded him with sus-
piston.
Gunner Atkins was, however. a de-
cent fellow. He had proved himself
a man of physical courage in the field
and he soon earned the respect OF his
officers for his moral courage. He
started book in which he entered
and balanced his accounts monthly.
and so is believed to have originated
tho idea Of the soldiers pocket ledger.
or, as it was called at first in the
royal artillery and afterward in the
army generally, Tommy Atkins"
There Is little doubt that the pocket
ledger was generally known by that
name in the regiment; and it Is equiv
alently true that there was then serv-
Ing in the royal artillery . gunner Of

The Suffrage Amendment Issue.

Woman suffrage is likely to play an
important part in the coming presi-
dental campaign. The organized suf-
fragists are now moving to bring pres
sure to bear upon the national conven-
lions of the two political parties to Sc
cure the adoption of plank favora BILE
to the immediate enfranchisement Of
women through the adoption of what is
known as the Anthony amendment -
the federal Constitution This effort
will be centered chiefly upon the repub-
Ecan party, and for that reason a con-
ventlon of women voters is to be hold
in Chicago on the three days preceding
that gathering.
The advocates of the constitutional
amendment methods of extending the
franchise to women hold that they have
progressed as far as practically posi-
BILE in the state by state effort, having
gained the full suffrage in eleven of
the western states and partially in Hi
nois. East of the Mississippi the diff
cuities of amending the state constitu-
tons are such that they feel they can
not expect much further success save
by extraordinary efforts lasting for a
long period. They are demanding con
stitutionai amendment as the direct
means of enfranchisement. Such an
amendment, if adopted by two-thirds
vote of the two houses Of Congress.
would retain its vitality as a PROPOSE
ton perennially until finally ratified. 4
vote to ratify by state legislature is
not subject to reconsideration, whereas
negative vote can be recensidered sub,
seouently. A state constitutional amend
