NO QUIET PLACE.

In one of the all-night restaurants
in the tenderloin recently four men
wore eating a nice large meal, break
fast, if they had just got up, or sup
per if they were on the way to bed (;
the hour would fit either condition in
that neighborhood. Suddenly fight
started. One of the customers
bounced a sugar bowl off another
customers belfry. A third customer
lay on the floor bleeding, and the
other three disappeared rapidly
through the door. While one of the
walters was cleaning up the mess
made by the affair he did a little
soliloquy- "Ain't it the hmit?" he
was heard to say. First, I'm on the
Strath Haven a perfectly good cook,
and along comes torpedo boat off
Heligoland and punctures us. Re-
suit, a trip to Germany l didn't
want. Next l starts home on the
Green Brian, again doing my best as
a cook, and we're blown up off Kirk
wall. And here | am looking for a
quiet place-and see what 1 get in
to."-New York Times.

HEN DISTINCTLY on THE JOB
Takes One Look at chicken-F eed
Sign and Immediately Proceeds
to Lay an Egg.

Fenrose Bushnell, residing in the
New Hartford road, drove to Win
sted, and stopped at the Manchester
feed mill, in Main street, with an
order for chicken feed.
While the order was being put up
cackling hen attracted the atten-
tion of those in the mill, including
Mr.. Bushnell, and, looking out, they
saw hen and newly laid egg on the
seat of the Bushnell wagon.
Unknown to Mr.. Bushnell, the hen
sitting beneath the wagon seat had
ridden to town with him, and when
Dobbin stopped in front of a large
sign advertising a certain kind of
chicken feed, the hen hoped upon
the wagon seat, and, facing the sign,
'Will Make Hens Lay" deposited
its testimonial as to the value of the
feed advertised.-Winsted Conn
Dispatch, New York Herald.

The wagons we're generally drawn
by four mules driven by negroes, who

because the darkies and the mules.

est states in the American Union, is
the biennial report of the Conserva.
ton Commission of Louisiana, copy
OF which has just been received by

a feature Of especial interest being
many exceptional photographs of
wild bird and animal life taken in
their haunts.
Each of the various departments
OF the commission is represented by
report written by it's respective
head. The articles show that the
commission has lived up to its duaes
by not only guarding the natural re-
sources of the state, but by upbuild-
ing them for the profit Of the people.
The conservation of game birds,
song birds, and insectivorous birds is
reviewed by Stanley Clisby Arthur,
ornithologist of the commission: the
report of the activities on the state
game farm is written by E. A. Nc
llhenny; the work being accomplish
ed on the Urania forest preserve is
described by Henry E. Hardtner;
what is being done in the great oil
and gas fields of Louisiana is report
ed by J. W. Smith; review of the
oyster industry is from the pen of
Frank I. Payne; the work of the

other matters.
President Alexander is not only to
be congratulated for the energy he
has expended in bringing Louisiana
to the front in the matter of conser-

VOTES FOR WOMEN.
Southern States Woman Suffrage

AT Camp Street, New Orleans.
Record of National Political
Conventions.

UP from the south will journey a
delegation of women to st. Louis to
ask tf1e Democratic conversion to en-
dofse states rights suffrage for wo-
men, Other sections will send women
to Chicago to urge a plank in the Re-
publican platform. The Democratic
convention may be startled at this in
noVaton, since, strange AS it may
seem, the party which proclaims DIS
mocracy has not been particularly
democratic III considering women as
people" The Progressives have al
ready welcomed women as a part Of
the people of the United States.
iSer platform contains woman staf-

receive women courteously and repeat
the pledges Of the past. Such action
Will not be unprecedented. Three
national conventions of the Republi-
cans have considered the advisabllity
OF giving women the ballot. The
record runs rs follows:
At Philadelphia III 1872 this resolu-
ton was Incorporated i'll The platform:
'Ihe Republican party, mindful Of
its obligations to the loyal women of
America, expresses qualification that
wider avenues of employment have
been opened to woman, and it further
declares that her demand for addi~
tlonal rights should be treated with
respectful consideration
Again III 1876 the national con-
vention, held in Cincinnati, adopted
the following: :The Republican
party recognizes with approval the
substantial advance recently made to-
ward the establishment Of equal rights
for women by the many important
amendments effected by the Republi-
can legislatures, in the laws which
concern the personal and property
relations of wives, mothers and wild
oWs, and by the election and appoint

ents of education, charities and other
public trusts. The honest demands

brought. to trial.
A maid testifies that the murdered
man and Challoner were both in love
with Lefty Love, and had quarrelled
over her. Pemmican's story clinches
the accusation and proof. Challonef'
wife has given the district attorney
half million dollars-all the money
she has-as bribe to free her hus-
band. Instead Murgatroyd prosecutes
Challoner and gets a confession from
him. Mrs. Challoner denounces Muir
gatroyd and tells Of the bribe. He
stands on his record as securing the
prosecution and her story is discred-
tied. Mrs. Challoner calls on Muir
gatroyd after the conviction and

Murgatroyd says he promised to save
Chalioner, but did not say when.
She gains new hope
Later Pemmican gets shot in row
with two crooks. Before he dies he
makes confession to Murgatroyd
that he killed Hargraves. He says
Lefty Love was his wife, and that. he
hated both Hargraves and Challoner.
They were both in the gambling
house where they quarrelled, and later
Challoner became SO intoxicated that
he lost his senses. Pemmican said he
then decided to kill Hargraves, blame
it upon Challoner, and in this way get
rid of both men. Besides, Hargraves
had ten thousand dollars in cash on
his person, which Pemmican took.
Murgatroyd sees Challoner and tells
him he has obtained fake confes-
sion. He obtains Ghalloner's release
and tells him to drop out Of sight.
Mrs. Challoner is happy and thinks
her money has bought her husbands
release. They go bo the east side,
where, reduced to poverty, Challoner
takes to drinking again. In quarrel
with his wife, she coWes him with a
