TOO MUCH
 MONEY ON GIRLS

f'PIeasures are like peoples spread You seize the flower, it's bloom IS
 shed!
 Or like the snowflake in the river A moment white, then melts forever
 The most foolish course a young man who works hard to earn his money can pursue is to lavish his earnings on girls with the hope or making himself popular with them
 He could make no greater mistake, for the girls who accept his ice cream and bonbons, theatre tickets, etc, are the ones who give him the name of |spendthrift They infer that he can not keep what he earns, and they might as well have the benefit of 1t as been able to save enough to buy new suit of clothes-even inexpensive ones-the girls on whom he lavished his money will be the first to comment on his shabbiness and decline to be seen in his comPa any.
 Popularity-that is, the honest kind cannot be bought. It is given sponta- neously and for sterling worth. A sen sib1e young man measures his gar ment accoFding to his cloth, 7- the old saying goes. That is, he lets crowd of jolly girls who expect to be treat man severely alone. That is a sufh- cient and digniied rebuke to girls who suggest they'd like a soda, etc.
 The majority of men are too sensi- bIe to buy popularity. They would rather just one nice girl would ad- dinner before they started out for a stri1l of an evening or to the theatre and would refuse to gorge herself af- ter the show at his expense.
 The greatest fear many mother feels is that her boy is spending too 411 for reckless living and has brought many well-meaning youth to ruin. A girl who accepts the attentions of a young man whom she knows earns his money by toll should study the ,sftua-. ton before she accepts an invitation from him that calls for a carriage if she wears her pretty, f1ny party dress. She should know that he could afford such extraVagance only now and then. If she really has his inter- est at heart she will rear a dress that cannot spoil or that laupdering will a car to their destination or walk if the distance is not too great and the weather is fine
 A man can. well understand such a girl will make good, prudent wife. His earnings would be safe in her keeping. If an employer finds that a young man has not been able to lay by a dollar of his earnings for a - twelvemonth, his declaration that he had spent it all on the girls would bring him sharp criticism, and the statement would sound almost unbe- heveable.
 In looking backward, reckoning all the money spent uselessly on girls, no wonder the squanderer grows bitterly angry with himself. It \has been a case of a fool and his money. It does not take some men very long to learn their little lesson. Others are years in finding out ttat the saving, indus trfous man who knows how to take care of his bank roll has far outdis- tanced him even in. the opinion of the frivolous girls. Money is hard to earn It should not be allowed to sift through mans pocket like sands in the hourglass.
 It is mans reputation for pru- dently saving which brings him re- spect. admirtion and popularity in a cornLlurity

papers. The Advance-a Vermont newspaper of a progressive character calls the plan of the Congressional Union political strategy of the high est order" and remarks that when Q. political party sees before it de- termined group of indepndent women voters who are standing together to help the party that helps them, and vote against the party which is against them, suffrage becomes an issue and that group holds the balance of power
 To impress this on Congress the Congressional Union is arranging a demonstration in Washington on the return of the Suffrage Special which is now touring the equal suffrage states The tour comes to an end in Salt Lake City on May 12, and the Suffrage Special will reach Washing ton on May, f16. A luncheon to the envoys will be given at the Union station at 1:30 D. m. Tuesday, May 16, and after the luncheon the envoys with an immense escort of women from all over the United States will proceed to the capitol steps bearing the resolutions from the women voters. These will be presented to Congress and the envoys will en- deavor to impress on both Congress- men and Senators the widespread and enthusiastic demand of the women voters for the immediate passage in the present session of Congress of the Susan B. Anthony Amendment. It would seem the easiest way for Con gress to refer the amendment to the state legislatures and so clear the po- litica1 field from a really >embarrass- ing issue f

CONNECTICUT
 SUFFRAGE NEWS
(aIrs. Edward Porritt, Hartford.)

. 4
 The, Connecticut Woman Suffrage Congressional Work, Mrs. A. E. S. Taylor, is making a strong effort to have Connecticut well represented in the big parade in Chicago which is to be held on June T. The parade is intended as a reminder to the Repub- Mcan National convention of the de- mand of the women for a suffrage plank in the Republican platform. It is being organized by the National American Woman Suffrage assicia- ton and it Is expected that every state will be represented in it. Each state will march under it's own state ban ner, and the members of the deleGa- tion will also carry other banners with various mottoes and slogans. The Connecticut women will be dress ed, in white with small white hats and will wear sashes of purple white and green-the state suffrage co1ors. Mrs. Grace Gallatin Seton will be the Chairman of the delegation. Names of women who wish to join the dele gation may be sent either to Mrs. A. E. S. Taylor at Norfolk, or to suf- frage headquarters in Hartford.
 The week following the Republican national convention the Democrats are to hold their national convention in St. Louis Here again the suf- fragists will be in evidence, and it is hoped that many of the women who go to Chicago will also attend the St. Louis suffrage demonstrations. In St. Louis the women will stand on guard instead of parading. This new form Of demonstration is being nick named the ttwalkless parade,'s and it is expected to prove quite as effective and picturesque ase the more usual kind of parade Some Connecticut women who are more interested in the Democrats than in the Republi- cans are planning to go to St. Louis instead of to Chicago, and in any case it is. hoped thai there will be a good delegation from Connecticut. If suffrage blanks are inserted in the national platforms Of the Republican and the Democratic parties, it will prove much easier to get blanks into the platforms of the parties here in Connecticut, and will go far to en- sure the passage of a constitutional amendment through the legislature at Hartford during the next session
 Simultaneously with the sRepubli- can National convention, the Con gressfonaI Union for Woman Suf- frage has called a convention for the purpose of launching a wonnan's party. The only voters in this con vention will be the women from the equal suffrage states but women from the eastern states will also be present The object of the party is to form 2 solid worhenss vote in the coming presidential election

Northwcsf Celebratin Little Big
Horn. 40 Years After, as Mexi-

HELP NEAR IN BOTH BATTLES
Campaign Against Carranza Outlaws
hkened to That Of General Terry
Against the Sioux.--Courage of
American Soldtery.

New York, June 26-while the
/, losses of a massacre Of American
troops are being counted by General
Pershing in his headquarters at Casas
Grandes the people Of Montana and
Wyoming are mmemorating the
fortieth anniversary of a massa ere
even more complete. For Cafrizal
like Therm opylae, had its messengers
of death: the battle Of the Little Big
Horn. like that of the Alamo, had
none.
1t is just forty years ago that Gen
eral George Armstrong Custer and his
troops of the cavalry regiment ne or
ganized himself were annihilated by
the Sioux in a campaign similar in
many respects to that making by the
American troops in Mexico now.
Almost within hearing of the
clamor OF the battle of the Little Big
Horn were forces strong enough TO
overwhelm any horde OF warriors
Rain -in-the-Face could muster When
Captain Boyd and his men were fight
ing a futile battle at Carrizal General
Pershing was in his headquarters at
Casas Grandes with force that could
have disposed of the Mexican band
in a few minutes,
Smarting under the criticism direct
ea against him because of his request
for a leave OF absence TO lead the
cavalry of President Juarez Of Mexico
against Emperor Macmillan and eager
to relnstate himself in the favor OF
President Grant. Custer undertook the
battle OF the Little Big Horn without
waiting for his superior. General Ter
~. and Colonel Gibbon to come up,
in accordance with the campaign
planned by Terry. Custer divided his
command and prepared for a battle
vryTk b. Nj a.
Reno's attack failed. and as a result
Captain Benteen was driven back and
forced to intrench. Custer and his
Ave troops. surrounded by red circle
OF death, fought as the Tenth fought
at Carrizal few days ago.
The battle Of the Little Big Horn
was called Clusters last stand" After
leading brigades and divisions through
out the Civil War. after crumpling the
attack Of General Wade Hampton up
on the Union flank at Gettysburg, az
ter holding in check 20. 900 infantry
men with his 1000 cavalrymen at the
battle OF Cedar Creek while General
Phil Sheridan behind this protection
reorganlZed the panic stricken Fed
erai Army after going through en-
gaRement after engagement. Custer
met his first defeat At the hands OF an
unframed force OF Indians--and, with
it. death But Clusters last stand
was also the last stand Of the Indian
in his effort to hold the Great North
west, for only once after that. at the
battle OF Wounded Knee, did the In
dian make an orga n!zed stand against
the white man.
And today, says the New York
Times on the battlefield marked only
by a slender monument, by the mem
cries OF a few old timers, and by a
few lines in history recounting with
what courage American troops always
fight in the face OF heavy odds, the
people OF the West are commemorat-
Ing Clusters victory"
