Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
1. What do some Of our birds
say7
There is the Maryland yellow
throat for instance. standing IN the
door OF his bushy tent, and calling
out as you approach. which way,
sir! which way, sir!" One Of the
pewees says 'stay tlrere!" with great
calls out" what cheer" what cheer!"
the bluebird says purity" purity
purity" The yellow breasted chat
says, who" who" and tea boy"
2. VIII prairie wolves dig up and
eat poisoned food?
I am told that prairie wolves will
dig up and eat meat that has been
poisoned and then buried, when they
will not touch it If left on the sur
face. In such case the ranch
men think the wolf has been out
witted; but the truth probably Is
that the soil drew out or dulled the
smell Of the poison and Of the mans
hand, and SO allayed the VOLTS sus-
picions.
8. Will neglected wheat turn into
cheat grass?
In parts Of the country where
wheat is grown, there is quite a
prevalent belief among the farmers
that II the land Is poor or neglected,
the wheat will turn into chess OF
cheat grass. This notion is the re-
suit of incomplete observation. The
cheat grass was there all the while,
feebler and inconspicious, but biding
its time: when the wheat failed and
gave up possession Of the soil. the
grass sprang forward and took Its
place.

WITH THE COMPLIMENTS OF U. s.A

Dear Madam-The United States OF
America presents its compliments
and begs your acceptance OF its new
construction of the Declaration OF
Independence that All men (and
yvomen) are born free" and equally
entitled to vote in elections, pri-
lnaries. to hold office If they can get
it and keep it as long as they can.
The ballot box in Iowa is as open
to women as to men. Go to it.
Iowa women may vote for all con-
didates from president down to path
master and township constable. Yes,
and school directors. AS the cow
boys say out west the bride is
plumb OFF to YOU" The political
equality clubs may stage their cele-
brations at once. There Is nothing
left to fight for. t
What effect on the results Of cleo
tons the admission of mora than
100000 new voters to the Iowa cleo
torate will have awaits November.
The new citizen is still an expert
ment. What part of the 100000 will
vote? Despite the fact of citizenship
conferred constitutionally woman
suffrage is still on trial. There lis no
doubt Of the intelligence and char
acter of Iowa women. They will vote
as nearly right as their husbands ana
sons. But what PROPORTION OF the
100000 will express their ideas o,
citizenship at the polls?
Replication not only granted citi-
zenship to women but 1t imposed q
new and unacceptable responsibility.
They must use this citizenship or be
derelict. It is up to women to
corroborate the arguments Of their
advocates. Either they must vote
and vote as honestly as they know
or the assertions of their opponents
that woman suffrage - failure and
should never have been granted must
be accepted as Just and well found
ed. It is now up to the women to
make good.
The line fence is down. The
woman voter Ia on the same plane as
the male voter. There Is no more
reason why they should be appealed
to in politics as q sex than that men
should be appealed to because they
are male. They should expect no
more because Of sex. ask no more,
but accept citizenship and equality
simply as citizenship and equality. I
It is still an experiment. So once
was manhood suffrage and there are
those who are not satisfied that the
experimental stage Of manhood SUI
frage is over.
Register Mrs. Lady Voter II, North
Steenth street. age--what impudence!

THE ATLAS ADVENTURER.
When illness holds me fast in bed
And minutes stretch to dreary length;
When reading means an aching head
To one of doubtful mental strength;
are thin
beg them bring the atlas in.
I seek it's pages eagerly,
For there in reds and green's and
blues
The forms Of far off lands I see
Depicted in Outrageous hues
And oh their color satisfies
The longing in sick mans eyes!
And there are names that boom and
roar:
Far distant towns where no ono wor-
Bona and Togo: Bangalore:
Khartum, Yoruba, Miraflores
I love their chime and mellow clang-
Canton. Chang-sa. Ching-Ki Nam
chang.
Thru them I go adventuring
Across the vivid patchwork page
Where unseen mountains upward
fling
Their crests Of snow; where torrents
rage.
Where, parched with heat, we cross
the sands
OF deserts in those far-off lands.
I climb the shades I know are hills;
ford the mighty rivers thread,
And gone are aches and pains and Ills
And I--behold-am not in bed
From cover on to tattered cover
I bodily tramp the wide world over.
The allies seem to have the habit
Of rushing military aid to the new
nations when there's nothing left 20
do but explain the mistakes that have

100000 by connivance with the men
who sold corporation stock in Iowa

George Rice, Del Taylor, George West

miners, declare they have found 1t and
pioneer miners are inclined to give
credence to their story.
The four miners who declare they dis
covered the Iong-lost mine last June and
have since been working it, have come out
Of The mountain fastness OF the Squaw
Creek district for the winter. They de-
clare they located the mine twenty-five
miles up Squaw Greek from Copper City.
ne well-established story Is that In
1853 some miners found a rich claim far
up Equaw Creek All but one Of them
was massacred by the Indians.
The survivor came down to Copper
CfSF and told the story Of the riches that
were abandoned, but he was soon after
ward drowned IN Pitt River.
For years and years efforts have been
made by prospectors TO find the lost mire.
It remained for the four miners to find
thezclaim last June. 1t is in an almost
inaccessible region and It was only acct
deutally that they stumbled on it.
They found a shaft. fourteen feet and
old rusty tools indicating that the claim
had been abandoned in haste Cleaning
out the shaft they found-a ledge of rich

is. lots Of it, say the quartette, and it is

But Betty wasn't in town.
The very day after Anthony Norrey's
dinner she had left for an extended tour.
There simply wasn't any one could ask
to come with me.
Tears Of rage and modification stood
in my eyes, as 1 picked up the receiver
to call Anthony Norreys and confess to
him that actually had no woman friend.
But when the operator down stairs said

ing different number from what I had
intended. Not Anthony Norreys' country

hour in agitating myself and agonizins

ance that he had done-he would still
be gone from there by now since 1T was
