worth living.
Someof the big preachers have

Frisby Hancock was in Hog

let Greek vicinity. He reports
that a good many of the fish

the recent high water by trying

Moving pictures have reached
Tickville. The only apparent
difference between these and the
magic lantern is that in the latter
all the characters seem satisfied
to remain where they are placed
on the curtain.
Ellick Hellwanger thinks a
person has to hustle even to
catch fish. He says you might
sit all day on the creek bank and
listen for fish and never hear
one. But if you advertise for
them with bait and put it within
their reach they will be heard
from.

Cole Younger, one-time notorious
rain-robber and outlaw, is dead at his
lome in Missouri. aged 72. Cole and
lis brother Bob were a part of the
Jesse James band of outlaws which held
sway in the west and southwest for so
many years. With the death, of Frank
James about year ago and that of Cole
Younger last week leaves the old
James Gang" almost extinct. Jesse
James was the only one of the famous
band who "died with his boots on"
The others that have gone all lived to
be old men, and most of them, after the
breaking up of the band, lived honestly
and died in peace.

ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?
By Alice Duer Miller

We have an apology to offer.
Some weeks ago we suggested a
programme for the Anti-Suffrage Con-
vention.
We did so under a complete mlsap-
prehension.
We had supposed that an anti-suf-
frage convention would discuss anti
suffrage.
We were quite wrong.
"An interesting feature of the con-
vention," says "The Washington Times,
"is the announcement that it will be de-
voted to the discussion of plans for the
general advancement of civilization and
betterment of all classes of women and
children along non-partisan lines, rather
than to the defeat of the aims of the
suffragists."

The only trouble with this idea is that
almost all the men and women who are
active in the betterment of the condi-

fragists, like Dr. Owen Lovejoy, Miss
Julia Lathrop, Miss Adams and Mrs.
Raymond Robins.

Oh, alas, for all the women
Who are converts to our cause,
But who wait for silver slippers,
And for sunshine and applause.
Oh, alas, for all the people
Who can feel and reason straight,
But who always get in action
Just little bit too late.
Just too late to make their gesture
Something splendid and sincere,
Just too late because it's patent
That the victory is here.
On, alas, for those who forfeit
What can never come again
The delight Of having struggled,
In contempt and in the rain.

such betterment are usually anti-suf-
fragists.
For instance, all the Senators who
voted against the Child Labor bill in the
Senate were avowed ants, with one pos
sble exception.
And the ants friend, Senator Lodge,
whom they have invited to come and
address them, did not even take the
trouble to vote on the bill.

The other day in Kentucky woman
walked eight miles in order to pay her
tax bill.
She was surprised that none of the
men of her acquaintance greeted the
announcement of her intention by the
statement that:
Her place was in the home.
Nature had not intended her to pay
taxes.
She would lose her charm by troubling
her pretty head about such matters

We learn from the anti-suffrage paper
that women are now standing in Cal
ifornia trolleys.
"Ten years ago it may be said with
certainty that no woman was ever al
lowed to stand in a streetcar."
What happens, we wonder, when a
trolley passes from a suffrage to a non
suffrage state.
Do the men still retain their places, or
do they all spring up as they reach the
boundary line and give the now vote
less women the seats, as is so universal
ly the custom in New York?

The pleasantest thing about the con-

ANTS CALL TO CONVENTION.

Let us meet in a convention,
Though it is not our intention
To discuss or even mention
What we came to talk about.
But we make it our endeavor
To appropriate whatever
Seems successful, good and clever
In what other groups work out.
