SUFFRAGE CONVENTION STIRS
WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 1-(By Union
Associated Press)-Seldom have the
suffrage ranks been stirred as they
are today by the meeting in joint
convention here Of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage and the
National Woman's party. The call
for the convention says: Political
attention at this moment is turned
upon the question Of suffrage for
women as it has never been before.
BY the campaign Of the woman,s par
ty preceding the last election this
and the coming Congress have been
made aware Of the political power
behind the demand for woman sun
rage as no other Congress has been.
Whether at the conclusion Of the pres
ent session the amendment has been
and out work il TO secure til
ratification, Or whether we will still
have to secure its passage, the nd
vantage on u side has during the
last year been tremendously increas-
ed, and to seize upon it skillfully and
push on from it becomes our immed-
ate responsibility. Upon action tax,
IN by this convention may depend the
success Of prolonged labor

Any house, whether 1t have three

the owner himself, and like him its
character is sometimes fully devel-
eped, sometimes not. But even an old,
a stuffy house, n that has been as
long "for let" as a mans conscience,
may be improved Here a window
may be thrown out to admit light or
to include a view, there a wing may he
added and a dull dwelling transformed
into one full Of delightful surprises. A
properly built house adds greatly to
the appearance of the street Oh which
1t Is built.
1.-THE most fascinating house I ever
knew" said ar architect recently, had
originally but four rooms, to which ev.
cry five or six years a new wing was
added, the. net result being a long,
rambling, bow-windowed structure,
which n never left without regret,

A remarkable story concerning the
discovery Of a will was recently made
known. DR.. Peter Quin Keegan, an
elderly Irishman, and an LID. Of Dub.
lin university, was keenly interested
In botany. A short time before his
death he met Mr.. Ronald Ellwood, trav-
eler for a Penrith firm, and a friend
ship sprang up, based on their botani-
cal studies. Doctor Keegan gave him
q book IN the subject, but MI. ELL
wood had no occasion to refer to 1t
until a few days ago, He then found
that two Of the pages were fastened
together, and outside one Of them was
an instruction In Doctor Keegan's pc
culiar writing that the pages were not
to be opened until after his death.
Doctor Keegan being already dead, Mr..
Ellwood opened the pages and found
between them the old gentleman's will.
