scenes in the Democratic National
convention will linger long in the
minds OF the delegates and obser-

the last moments did the Democratic
party prove its regeneration. its COM

ideals of the man who was ren0m-

easy enough for the Republican con-

Of woman suffrage and recognizing
the right Of individual states to set
tie the problem. 1t was still easier
for the Progressive convention en-

further and declare for an amend

franChising women throughout the
nation. But the Democratic party
always has been divided OH questions
affecting states rights because OF
the captious adherence of the solid
south to antiquated doctrines and for
this party deliberately to take step
forward and recommend to the states
the equality of the sexes in suffrage,
this was the most progressive
achievement of all To Woodrow
Wilson alone belongs the credit for
the accomplishment No other force
than his commanding personality
drew ballot after ballot from the
southern states themselves against a
majority report that they would have
evaded the suffrage issue altogether.
Feeling OF an intense character;

Leuend Of Klnu Mako.

King Mako. who ranks as the Ser
Wan King Arthur, was the son OF
King Vukashin, whom he denounced
for usurping the throne, which rightly
belonged to Urosh, son Of Dushan.
Vukashin cursed him and prayed that
he might have neither tomb nor pos
terity and be doomed to serve "the
car OF the Turks" But Urosh blessed
him and prayed that he might know
no equal In wisdom or prowess and be
remembered as long as the earth en-
dured
Thus they spake and thus it came
to pass" says an old Servian ballad.
Mako fought for the sultan, but "the
sultan feared him, for his wrath was
terrible" and, though he knew no
sepulture, he lived, say the legends,
for 800 years. He still lives in the
hearts Of patriotic Servians. many of
whom believe that one day be will
awake and come forth to restore the
glories of the former empire.-Pall

One of the most interesting cases Of
voluntary taxation is the ancient Athe-
MAN liturgy" which meant something
very different from the liturgy Of to-
day. the genealogical meaning of the
word being public work" The liturgy
was a special contribution made to the
state by wealthy citizen or group of
citizens. There were ordinary litur-
giles, such rs the provision Of the
chorus for great tragedy, and extraor-
binary ones, such as the equipment or
maintenance of warship. The litur-
gy was fundamentally a tax, and 1t
was often eVaded by all sorts Of
shifts. But In the palmy days Of
Athens 1t was considered disgraceful
for those upon whom 1t was imposed
to do no more than the law exacted,

Dreams.

One reads some so very silly articles
upon the subject Of recurrence of
dreams that 1t Is necessary TO repeat
that our dreams are nothing more than
q continuation of the state previous to
sleep when we lie with no bodily or
mental occupation beyond following
out whatever train of thought happens
to have been suggested.
Two common dream experiences fire.
Quently recurring are those of the sen
sation of flying and Of the uneasy i'm
preston of being about in public in In
sufficient attire. The first Is caused
by the physical fact that we are at the
moment without noticeable pressure
actually suspended In space; the Sec
ond by the equally physical fact that
few people in these days go to bed in
their boots.
1t Is beyond question that dreams are
started or suggested not only by these
personal hints, but by external events,
usually a noise-London Observer.
