REEDS, RAIL AND SNIPE
WILL BE HERE A-PLENTY
SOON, MIR. SPORTSMAN
The Little "Reedie" Is Very
Scarce, but 1t Will Be Plen-
tiful in About
Ten Days
KEPT AWAY BY HEAT

Reeds, reeds everywhere but not a
'reedle' for the pan" This is the slogan
adopted by all the hunters along the
marshes and rivers who daily are out seek
ing this palltable little game bird This
year due. It is said, to the warm weather
'reedie" is very scarce.
At the markets here the 'reedle' Is
bringing $3.50 per dozen, which is 81 more
than the highest price asked for the little
game bird of the reeds last year, At all
the leading hotels and restaurants in this
morsel of food is one which can only be In
dulged in by those for whom price is only a
secondary consideration.
The yellow-legged snipe, the rail- bird
and the mudhens cannot at this time be pro-
cured at any market or in any of the fash
ionable restaurants. Few mudhens, which
are said by sportsmen TO be the most tasty
of all shore game birds, have reached this
city since the season opened on Septem-
ber 1.
The army of sportsmen who have daily
sailed forth to the marshes along the Del
aware River and It's many tributaries have
returned chagrlned and tired to the very
bone, and last, but not least, empty-handed.
According TO some of the leading sports
men of this city the shore game birds have
become fewer each year. This Is due to
our climate, which Is changing noticeably
In recent years, giving us late fall and
late spring. Due to this It is said the birds
remain IN southern haunts for n longer
period than In former years and their
migration to the northern countries is like
wise made from three weeks to n month
later.
Cheer up, youD lovers Of the gun who
seek these little river and shore game
birds, for 1t is certain that with the first
real cool days the marshes in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Philadelphia will echo with

THE THREE METHODS

So beginning today the delegates are
going to talk out three ways of approach:
They are going to consider gaining suf-
frage by the congressional route purely.
They are going to consider gaining suf-
frage by the State legislation route purely.
They are going to consider gaining suf-
frage by working at both routes.
For the first method the argument will
be presented by Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper
Of New York, and Mrs. Glendower Evans.
of Massachusetts.
For the second method the argument will
be presented by Miss Laura Clay, of Ken
lucky, and Miss Kate Gordon, of Louis-
ana.
For the third or combined method the
argument will be presented by Mrs. Ray
mond Brown, Of New York, and Miss Flor
ence Allen. of Ohio.
Then the floor will take up the discus
sion and the convention will say what's
what. Mrs. Gait declines to anticipate the
result.
She makes the reservation, however, that
while the action thus voted on will decide
the campaign plan, 1t will not necessarily
determine adefinite election policy. That
is to be made the subject of future con-
sideraton.
Mrs. Gait, like her predecessor, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, is against any procedure
which proposes to enfranchlse women by
partisan methods. Tho reason for this is
that she does not want the women voters,
once they all are such, to feel any obliga-
ton to any one party; she wants them to
be free voting agents, without being under
the compulsion of gratitude.
So. no matter what action is taken, 1t
seems pretty certain that no candidate will
get the Endorsement of this convention. On
the contrary, the suffrage leaders here feel
they are asking something that is coming
to them. not something they need ever
after feel obliged for, and they are going
to try to impress on both parties that all
they want is justice. They have nothing to
sell.
There is an interesting curiosity Us to
what President Wilson will have to say 70
the delegates when he talks to them here
Friday night Those here will venture n
guess, for they are not used to President
Wilson being a willing talker Every time
they have ever had word out of him be-
fore It had to be got with long drawn
effort, and the incident Of Mr. Wilson
coming here Of his own free will to talk Is
almost quieting.
Tho delegates are already hero In great
numbers, although It is early, and tho real
action may be postponed until tomorrow.
The meetings are to be in the New Nixon
Theater on the Boardwalk. and with an ar.
chitects ingenuity the planners expect to
take care of 5000 delegates comfortably.

.The committee appointed in February to
show the advantages Of League Island as q
site for the laboratory has accomplished
a great deal. AT present Il is awaiting
an appointment with Thomas B. Edison,
chairman Of the Naval Advisory Board, in
order to present the claims Of Philadelphia

sIowly However, public-spirlted citizens
NAV rest assured that the representations
made In behalf OF this city will not be
weak"
There was an air Of confidence in the
yChamber of Commerce this afternoon, with
the location of the laboratory still an open
question. Phiadelphias claims for the site
are being contested by Washington and An
napols, and, IL Is said, powerful interests
IN New York are working for the prize.
The secrecy which has characterized a
large part of the negotiations for the site
was imperative so that rival cities would
not know Philadelphin's hand" Mr.. French
said.
CITY UP TO REQUIREMENTS
Continuing, he said:
According to the plan laid out by Mr..
Edison, the laboratory should be located at
tldewater, where there is sufficient depth
TO permit dreadnought to dock; that II
should be located near but not in largo
city, and that secrecy should be the govern
ing factor In the project.
ut has been the contention of the Phila-
delphla Chamber of Commerce that Phlla-
delphla measured up the requirements set
by Mr.. Edison and his colleagues, and that
from q survey of the whole situation Phila-
delphia was the ideal city for the location
of such project.
This view has been concurred In thor
oughly by Senators Penrose and oliver.
Congressman Edmonds and a number of
public-spirited citizens who have been atriv-
ing to have the laboratory located here"

has accomplished in the North sec
ton of Minneapolis, where most of
the people belong to the poorer class,
poor wage-earners, or small mer-

about $4400OO was sent away by
Rabbi SLIDER to the New York Gen.

$2300O0 more. And goodly por-
ton of this was collected from poor
people, their contributions being
nickels, dimes, and quarters. But
the collectors have been on the job
all the time. The man who can give
only nickel has been giving it every
week, and so on
If the same were done in other

HORSE-FLESH.

Some of our orthodox friends were
apparently very much exercised
over an interview we gave reporter
of one of the Minneapolis dailies on
the subject of horse-hesh. We refer
red the reporter to the Biblical or
dinance and it's prohibition of the
flesh of certain animals. We added,
however, that we did not know any
scientific reason for it, not even for
the prohibition Of pork. We also
told him that many Jews nowadays
disregard the ordinance, because
they like ham and oysters and crabs,
etc. True, he exaggerated our
statement, and wrote down as tar
as the Hebrews are concerned this
law is now considered practically
void.' That is what a young re-
porter is apt to do any time. We
surely cannot be suspected of having
made such a statement to him,
knowing as we do hundreds Of peo-
pie in Minneapolis alone who abstain
from forbidden food.
Hence we see no occasion for any
commotion on account OF that inter-
view. If any of our readers can give
us a scientific reason for not eating
horsehesh, or can deny the fact that
many Jews eat pork, the columns OF
this paper are open to him.

There is moral to be drawn from the man
that sold his colt and bought auto-because his
colt was not old enough to be of service-only to
find that his former property turned to be a

The habit of Impotence has wrecked many a

for granted that he would have developed his colt
by this very habit of patience and plodding."
1t does not pay to fear the trial of waiting.

patience.

posing cannon. SCATTERING the column. The struck
horses faer stapger, fall but those unhurt close in
around the gaps and sweep toward. Again the vol
ley. and again the slender sweeping column shud
ders and saggers beneath the pitiless rain of shot,
only to reform and sweep again. Now, the poet
has put all this into the measure of his verse; The
poem opens with three measured lines, smooth,
sweeping, rushing toward. The reader can almost
hear the thunder of the horses hoofs. And then
the next line breaks, fal,ers. Your very soul is
sickened with the fear of that awful staggering vol
ume of fire against which they have been hurled
But again the poet gathers his measures togther,
just as that distant Captain Lieutenant reformed
his troop aud the verse sweeps toward again with
the continued charge. Tennyson has made this gal
liant display of heroism and discipline with It's at
tendant horror of carnage very real to the reader
and not less by the irregularities of his than
by anything in the accompanying text.
In the other example Mr.. Finch is describing
memorial day celebration during which relatives of
the soldiers side decorate the graves of un-
known soldiers who fought on the other side. The
theme is deeply emotional. True patriotism has
overcome sectional prejudice, till Northern sympa-
thzers say of the Southern dead, Yet they are
our countrymen," and decorate their graves along

And the Soutberner, looking this labor of love,
finds his throat choked with sobs, yet his rings
exultant through them. This is all in the verse.
You get the exul,ant ring the upward infection
of the final accented syllable in each line, short
as the singer swallows back the rising lump in his
throat. The accidental Trochees and Spondees in
the verses serve to intensity the emotional tension
of the lines, just the feeling of the poet held
in restraint when it tended to break the bonds of
control.
The Dactylic foot, like the Anapest, is seldom
used by it's self but is used in connection with the
Iambic or Trochaic to give fuller expression and
more vivid movement to the measure. 1t is the
central foot used in Sapphics, the used by
the classic poeess Sappho; aud u.s. in fact, necessary
to the ground work of nearly all of the classical
ters used by the old Greek and Latin bards.
