Quaker Wit.

Somewhere in France" there is at work a group of English Quakers, whose cool courage and tireless devo tion in rescuing and tending the wounded on many a battlefield have won them, despite their peace princi pies, the hearty respect and liking of both "Tommies" and "piou pious Y" Among them is one young man whose ancestors for several generations have been noted for wit and spirit than for the virtues oftenest associated with drab coats and broad hat brims.
 It was a member of that family a century or more ago, that found him self by chance in a carriage with a very fine lady attired in the lownecked short-sleeved muslin dress then in the height of fashion, adorned by pro- fusion of jewels and trinkets and pro tected only by lace shawl as light as cobweb A chilly wind blew up suddenly, and she exclaimed, shiver ing. "What shall do to get warm ?"
 II really don't know" said rhe Quaker sympathetically, "unless the, put on another breastpin. "-Youth's Companion.

The Editors Reward,

The editor died and went to heaven But stood outside the gate, Because he hadn't the nerve to knocl And thought that he would wait Till some other mortals came along He'd see what they would do, And If they entered the pearly gate He thought he might slip through. He watched the vast procession pass To the portals wide; While Peter told some they were uT
 too high,
 And others he took inside. The editor, weary of waiting so long Finally got in line, To see if Peter would accept him then, Or would "with thanks" decline. He heard the sweet voiced angels sing, His eyes filled to the brim. He shivered and shook in agony, Knowing his chances were slim. "Aha '" said Peter, "an editor herey Gle laughed with pure delight) Why certainly, you may come right in, For all you did was write"

A Safe Railroad.

Howard Elliott, president of the New Haven, in speech on railway safety, just made at dinner in Boston, said that the day may come when all roads will be as safe as the Great Kentucky Central. He then told the following story:
 "A passenger on the Great Kentucky Central said to the conductor:
 "'Do you use the block system on this line?'
 "'No, we ain't got no use for the block system, stranger
 "'Oh, l, suppose, then, you use electric or pneumatic signallingY
 "'No use for them, nuther.'
 "'Then you have train dispatchers and run your train by telegraph P "'Nope.'
 "'But when you stop between sta tions you at least go back hundred yards and flag the rear?'
 Nope, stranger; nope
 "'Then, said the passenger angrily, all I've got to say is that this road is run in criminally reckless manner.
 "The conductor drowned, took out a plug of tobacco, and snapped off chew viciously.
 Stranger he said, If you don't like this line say so, and I'll stop the train and you can git off and walk. I'm the president of this line and the sole owner. This is the Great Ken. lucky Central, and, stranger, don't you forget it. She's seven miles and half long. She runs from Paint Rock to Nola Chucky. This is the only train that travels on the great Kentucky Central, and what you hear snortin' ahead is our only engine. We ain't never had collision. We ain't never had an accident. Whats more, we never will. Now are you satisfied, stranger, or will I pull the string and let you git out and walk ?"

SUFFRA6E-PRO AND CON
Pro.

There was considerable activity last week in those towns where voters were being made among the women who wished to register. In Hartford the suffragists had offered their assistance to many of the women who had felt a little uncertain as to the procedure, to be followed, and larger number of women were added to the voters lists than for many years previously. This was partly due to the fact that the registrars announced that there would not be another opportunity of being made voter until 1918. Some of the towns appoint days for registration every year. but the law only calls for congressional elections are held and in Hartford this law is evidently to be the guide of action. The general feeling among the women who registered was of delight and relief to find that the dreadful ordeal of entering politics was so simple and so entirely free from dis agreeable features. They were all agreed that they had met with nothing but kindness and courtesy from the officials. This of course might be ex. pected; but to many women the whole subject of politics has been surround ing with such veil of mystery of for biddingness that it is real relief to find that after all they have to deal only with average American men, who are always courteous in their treatment of women. The idea of having to fight their way to the polls through band of hoodlums which has been inculcated by some of the anti objections to women's voting was entirely dissipated, and the women feel that they are now ready for the full vote as soon as it will be conferred on them. If they have to go to the polls to vote on school ques. tions, they pertinently ask what reason can there be that they should not spend a minute or two longer and vote for all officials and all questions that come up As for understanding these issues, they feel that they could easily spare one or two meetings of their various clubs to study the good of their state and city and to prepare themselves to vote wisely on election day.

Con.

The state president, Mrs. Daniel A. Markham, of Hartford, went to New York on Monday to confer with the president of the national association, and to report for the Connecticut Asso. citation the progress made since the first of the year, not only in the increase in membership of the local association, but also of the spread of the doctrines of the anti suffrage association through the public meetings held in various cities of the state during the past two months. The interest of the Con. necticut branch in the furtherance of publicity of their aims through the "campaign of education" has caused favorable comment to be made by the officers of the national association.
 Mrs. Markham's home in Hartford was thrown open last week for a meet. ing of the state board which was at. tended by women from all parts of the state, who assembled not only to re- port on the work done in their sections, but also to hear of the progress made in other states in an informal talk given by Mrs. William B. Glover. of Fairfield, the secretary of the national association, who came up to Hartford especially for the occasion. Mrs. Glover brought the latest news from the national headquarters in New York, and complimented the Con- necticut Association for the progress they were making in the enrollment of new members, over 1000 new names having been added to the list since the first of the year.
