FROM TENEMENTS' TO THE
CITY HALL
New York, Feb. 2O.-Crying I'VE
want bread, we want breadr' more
than 1000 women from the tene-
ment districts, bareheaded, scantiIy
clad, their warmest garment being
the shawls about their shoulders,
stormed the steps of the City Hall
today. demanding relief Of Mayor
Mitchell from the high cost of food.
Some declared their families were
starving. Most of the women car
ried babies, their faces showing the
pinch of hunger, in their arms. The
women were headed by Mrs. Ida
Harris, pres. of the Mothers Vigi-
lance league, and Sweet Marie"
CAM, well known through her work
in the tenements. They came from
the Rutgers Square tenement dis
trict, where pushcaTt peddlers have
been steadily boosting prices until
the women declare they are no long
er able to feed their families.
Walking quietly across City Hall
park, the women were at the very
steps of the building before they
were noticed. They swept up the
steps en- masse. The doors were
banged shut in their faces by the pO-
lice. Wild cries followed. The police
drove the women down the steps.
Marie CAM then made a speech to
the woman. She urged them to re-
main in the street and not to do any
thing that would give the police an
excuse to arrest them.
Miss GAM and Mrs. Harris were
then admitted to the building to
speak for the women. Mrs. Harris
said she represented no political or
ganization. My husband is a
matchmaker" she said. 1--WE have

Moonshine and Fishing.

We have made good deal of fun of
country folk who "set store" by the
phases Of the moon in planning their
work or trying to forecast the wealth
er. The general idea seems to be that
things will not turn out well when
done sin the dark O. the moon," or
when that luminary Is waning, on the
theory that growing moon symbo-
lizes increase, advance, growth, where
as waning moon symbolizes decline
and decay. But a new and somewhat
more philosophical turn is given to the
matter by an angler who writes In The
Country Herald (England) and who
suggests a novel explanation for the
periodical dourness Of pike as follows :
IAN old angler friend rather surprised
me this week by asking my opinion
Of the effect Of the full moon upon
pike prospects. 1 had nothing to say,
because had never considered there
was any relation between the two. But
he thinks so, his view being that the
jack take advantage of moonlight
which almost turns night into day, to
feed. Consequently when the angler
arrives the following morning their ap.
petite is satisfied and they have no de-
sire for his lures"

Denver.-The long appropriation
bill, for maintenance of the various

the House. 1t carries a total appro-
priation of $1.s66.355. which is about
$275,O00 more than the ssne bill car
ried two years ago when introduced.
This increase is made up principally
of the sum OF $4,000 granted to the
governor for the mobilization of the
national guard in the event of war
with Germany and $10o,25s.3 for the
Industrial Commission. The appropri-
alton for the latter commission two
years ago was carried in a separate
bill and 80 was not included in the

forcement instead Of $4,000. as
granted two years ago. and $4,000 ad.

Feminine Instincts.

Woman today is a product of age
long inheritances. Her special and
peculiar faculties (only some of which
are here dlscussed) have been devel-
oped through the activities Of her sex
in thousands of bygone generations.
These faculties may properly be called
"instincts" because they represent in
herited experience.
They are particularly interesting as
a subject of study for the reason that
they are suggestive of the history of
feminine occupations since the earli-
est dawn of human existence on the
earth.
