The Power of the Vote

Opponents to women having the
vote continually tell us that infu-
ence is greater than the vote S direct
rover, Some interesting light has
been thrown on the; truth of this
statement in the debate of the I'm
mi sration Bill in Congress.
John Sharp Williams had this to
say:
Either this is a white man s
country or it is. Dot. Those Of you
who are williufato say that this is a
white mans country ought to say
so by your votes. You stand around
andsmile and risk international COM
plicationS with Japan on a race issue
about the japanese, who are as
highly civilized as you are. and you
dare not, because of congressional
situations here and there, declare as
to the negro that this is white
mans country, BECAUSE THE
NEGRO HAS A VOTE Not only
you Republicans. but you northern
Democrats waive it all aside. "A
white mans country: yes. in q way;
oh, yes, but do net offend that negro
voter in my district.
If the negro had no vote would he
be subject of consideration? Has
the woman a vote? And Mas she

CHAPTER VII.
THE PoIsoN-sPRING IN THE COTTON
WOODS.

THE PoIsoN-sPRING IN THE COTTON
WOODS.
They met on the damp country road
one evening-Sally and the old man
two weeks later. She was walking
with dropping head, and when she
suddenly raised it, as he ahemmed,
he was quite sure that she had been
crying.
81 don't know what's the matter
wiss him!" said Seffy's father, as if
they had been discussing Seffy
"Who?" asked the girl TREMENDOUSLY
though she knew-"he amt sick?h
"Sef-Seffy-my Seffy. No-not ex-
actly-not to say sick. / like him So
he's all | got-and it's somesing wrong

her regret in vain-ketch her while
she's at it,"
So, Seffy went up the hill again
not that night-which was mistake
he could not quite bring himself to
that-but the next. And he had wash
ed the grease out of his hair and left
the hat at home as well as the butter
fly tie and the boots and, if do say it,
he was very handsome fellow, worth
at least dozen of his rival
But Sally, watching for this very
thing, saw him coming and hardened
her heart, as Pharaoh did in the face
Of proffered felicity, and, by a good
deal of forcible instruction, she sue
eceded in getting the little maid to say
that she was not at home. The maid
untutored face showed Seffy that she
was not telling the truth, however, and
she was not sorry for it. She would
never have treated Seffy SO!
Seffy shifted his hat from one hand
to the other and then said:
"Telf her-tell her-lOhen she comes
hOme-that I'm sorry" He did not
exactly know what he was sorry for,
and so said good night and went.
He knowed you wds at homc!"
reproached the little maid. He was
sorry for you"
"What did he say?" demanded Sally
savagely.
"To tell you that he was sorry
when you got home"
when | got home? Then l better
stay away, / expect. That's what he
meant, did he? Well, I'll show him! !"
But the maid understood Seffy's rustic
chivalry and she did not laugh with
her mistress.
Yes, Sally went back to her window
and again watched, hoping Seffy would
look back. She was not quite sure what
she would do Perhaps she would get
angry-perhaps--but if he would only
lookl He did not, and Sally understood
that he had accepted his congo as he
had given it. And quite as the old man
had said she did regret, now, and she
had regretted that other night. But
there was more penance than he had
said or thought. Yet-there was the
Pressed temper! And it did not await
the subsistence of the sorrow, but rose
at once. What business had he tamely
to accept the situation?
| am satisfied that there is some
connection between red hair and tenn
per. And | am, further, satisfied that
there is even more between the asso-
ciated ideas of red hair, temper and
regret. But my difficulty is to deter
mine just where each stands. Logically,
the regret ought to come last. But,
to Sally, and in this case, it came in
the middle For, she began and she
ended without it, but she distinctly
remembered having had it. Therefore,
it must have been in the middle.
And Sam administered Seffys coup
de gracel Perhaps it was accidental.
But think it must have been nothing
less than spying and then devilish inven-
tion-it was so entirely apropos.
As Seffy descended the Hill of De-
light on which Sally's pretty little
house stood, Sam assembled it, singing,
as he passed Seffy:
Napoleon, with thousand men,
Marched up the hill and down again"
From his own darkness, Seffy saw
a golden shaft of light burst from the
door at the top of the Hill of Delight,
and, in it, he saw Sam mount to where
was his hearts desire
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-09-14
FILLING THE SILO

away-trying to cheer him up a little.
Well, so good night"
He passed on, for he was a merciful
old man, and Sally hurried away to
the Poison-Spring And Old Baum
gartner laughed through his gnarled
hands behind the cover of the next
turn in the road, though even to him
laughter was no more gay, as of yore
Scffy was there, on his back, with
his hands under his head, staring up at
the moon. He looked pitifully alone.
A great lump surged in Sally's throat,
and if she had obeyed only her heart
she would have flung her arms around
him But another of those qualities
which go with red hair, pride, prevented
this. She coughed little and Seffy
flew around.
Twas just taking a walk" she
said
Yes" said Seffy humbly.
The Poison-Spring is-on my prop
erty-"

feet in the moonlight
"Seffy-I didn't mean" began the
really unhappy girl, her head quite
giving way to her heart now.
81 got nowheres else to 60 now"
excused Seffy. 81 can't go to the

didn't know that you owned" He
was stumbling off The last words
came from distance. Good night"
He did not know that Sally was fol-
lowing him. When she spoke it was
close behind him. He veered so sud-
denly as to catch the pain on her face.
But he was dull, Seffy.
'Scffy," she said, close upon him,
"Seffy | WdS at home"
Seffy said nothing
"Seffy-I am unhappy-and fool"
Still Seffy did not move nor speak.
Don't you care that am unhappy"
Still silence.
"And don't you never forgive no
one?"
At the end was a sob.
Ali Seffy could not harbor i'll against
a dog that had bit him. And Sally
sobbed. The hands he had kissed
before, he kissed again-in that fashion,
you will remember, which must have
survived from some cavalier ancestor.
"Seffy," she said little later,
"you know l got an awful temper?"
"Pappy says So" sighed Seffy.
Hes right, and you know! But,
Seffy-you can help me to cure it
will your"
Joy leaped back into her life and it
was very sweet. And would he? He
left her no doubt-not the least. She
lowered about him bewitchingly. What
the peering moon saw shall not tell.
And when the watchful old man saw
them coming out of the Cotton Woods
together he went singing home and
slept.
Oh, it was not entirely the pasture
field now. He did not forget that.
But Seffy, whom he adored-perhaps
for the very gentleness and sweetness
which constantly vanquished his hap
piness-Seffy was going away from
happiness which sought him-and, for
this farmer, and this time and place
where was little Joy and much labor, it
seemed wanton-it was wantonl Do
you think it was slight thing that
kept Sephenijah P. Baumgartner, SEN
ior, awake for five nightsP For, let

held so close under her beating heart
that it registered each avid pulsation,
81 am most to blame and you have
forgiven me. But you are to blame,
too, and I.hope you won't forgive your
self too soon"
"For why?" queried the dull Seffy,
with attention only for that wildly
beating thing-for, alas, that was his
bane as hers was something else--for-
getting future perils in present happl-
ness.
"Then you'll fix it before you dot"
elk what2" asked the astonished
seffy.
"You let yourself be fooled. And
that raises my temper more than any
thing else. ] don't want no beau that
every one laughs at You got to have

you'll can't help it when my temper's

Seffy stared aghast. He would as
soon have heaped maledictions upon
the head of an archangell
cor hit mel"
Another stare-another conviction
of the utter impossibility of such
thingl
Yesl With a club A flat-ironI A
potato-masher A pokerl"
Seffy could laugh now. She was
becoming absurd. Had he only known
that she-poor futile woman-was
trying to secure in advance their happi-
ness in the turmoil which she knew
would comet
"Yes That is the way for such as
mel The only wayl And I'm used to

Now Seffy was Shocked
My father-or mother-or granny
or, she hesitated-" Sam-have, at
one time or another, used all these
things on me. l need the snaffle!

And she laughed little herself and
that was Seffy's excuse for joining her.
You have no temper and | have
thousand times too much. You can
see how that will work. And, Seffy,
you got bad reputation about here
now, and / wouldn't like you to have
it always. So you must brace up and
do things to make the people like you
again. want you to be able to face
any one. at the store-and do it in
front of Sam"
The dull Seffy answered:
"But what can | dor"
The whole case seemed quite hopeless.
~ don't know. But there is some
thing. Ask your pappy Whatever it is,
l will help you. You know it makes
me foolish, too. And | hate that
more than anything-being laughed at.
If / was you, I'd lick Sam. But l
know you won't. expect he's too big
for you. But there are other things"
And Seffy left her at her door that
night, determined to do some great
thing to set himself properly before
the little community once more. Be-
cause-once more-she had let him
kiss her.
:. He and his father held star-chamber
session that night yet-Seffy waking
him up for it.
Take her home from church, be-
goshens!" adjudged his father.
Now this seems small advice upon a
small matter. But it was very great
advice uDon n Verv great matter as
