Two Women Confess, of My Pre-
dicament: She. of Her Sorrow

Shts vi IhNf ,ohtO"
The rose pink of nature which no
rouge can rival glows in Martha's
cheeks, and her eyes are a deep
violet, and her. hair is like spun
gold. That December morning she
wore a long blue cape which some
times concealed, sometimes reveal
ed. tho magnificent curves of her tall
figure. 1t has always been the habit
of us Lorimers to jolly Martha, the
independent "lady-lawyer" about
her lavish devotion to "her man."
The girl is no silly chatter-box, but
she has been so desperately in love
with Ewart that she never has fall
ed to introduce his name, by quoting
his opinion, in almost every other
paragraph of her conversation, that
Is, in her talks with her intimates.
That morning / suddenly realized
that Martha had been with me half
an hour and hadn't voluntarily re-
ferred to Ewartl And she had ac-
tually shut off my inquiries about
him by an abrupt rejoinder!
Perhaps if Martha had been glor-
iously happy as in the old day, /
would never have thrown my own
grief upon her burdened heart, but
because / perceived that she had
some secret sorrow of her own, /
turned to her impulsively with:
'I need comfort. Martha! I'm so
tired-so tired-of trying 10 be
brave alone!"
"Tired-of trying to be brave
alone!' she repeated. Then she
made a visible effort to be cheerful:
Better hand me your worries, my
dear. Let me check them and store
them for a while. Confession Is
first class psychology for people in
trouble, you know" :,
TITS up-to-date thought as well
as ancient religion" 1 agreed. so
here goes, Martha dearest"
I drew her down beside me upon
the divan. 1 told her about Bob and
Katherine Miller, and how much
Deb had helped me to resolve TO
build a heaven in helrs despair. but
that before 1 could start with my
construction. Bob's collapse came
perhaps to ruin my building forever.
"If Bob would only regain con-
yciousness long enough to learn the
ruth about this wire!" l held up

BY vote Of 10 to Z, members Of the
Tri-State Packers Association voted yes
terday afternoon to call upon the Legisla-
lures Of Delaware, Maryland and New
Jersey to enact laws that would insure
pure tomatoes. The use Of juices or other

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as vt dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is Mulsified CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything elsel all to pieces. You
can get this az any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about q teaspoonful is all
that is required It makes an abundance
of rich. creamy lather, cleanses thorough

Delaware Wets Take Hope Prom New
Jcrecy Decision on Law Precedence.

Jersey Decision on Law Precedence.
Wilmington "Wets" think they scc in
the decision Of the u. s. District Court at
Trenton N, ]. upholding the Volstead en-
forcemcnt not way to compel the Della
warc authorities to permit the sale OF
whisky and brandy in the drugstores, At
least. The New Jersey court ovcrthrcw an
act of assembly permitting the sale OF $50
per cent beer, saying the federal law took
precedence.
This conflict in the two laws brings up
the contrast between the Klair law OF tins
State and the Delaware constitution. lt
is claimed on one side that under the
u. S. constitution no legislation can he
enacted that will interfere with the sale
of liquor in this State for medicinal uses.
The conflict between the national amend
mert and the Klair law is also pointed out
to show that the Klair law should also
fail rs did that in New jersey so that the
Delaware constitutional provision would
still be effective for the sale of medicinal
liquors.
The New Castle County Medical So

Washington, March 12-Realisin that
unon the action of Delaware will depend
whether the women of the country are
TO plav full part in the next Presidential
her leutenants will make great drive on
the Legislature of that State when it as
sembles in extraordinary session on Mon
dav, March %. 1t is admitted that il
Delaware gives an adverse verdict the
chances for ratification this year OF the
EQUAL Suffrage Amendment will not be
bright.
Some pro-suffragc Senators are consider
ing the propriety of entering Delaware
and making personal appeals to members
of the Legislature. This plan, however,
i. not likely to be carried out, because it is
realized the law makers Of the State should
not be influenced by members of the Ma
tional Legislature.
SENATORS WILL NOT TAKE PART.
Governed by the principle that the
State Legislature is the sole judge OF
whether the amendment should be ratified,
5 II Il not at all likely Senator Wolcott will
take any part, either for or against, in the
coming drive What Senator Ball will do
is not known, but it is presumed he will
keep hands off.
some men in the habit of taking chances
are betting even money that Delaware
will ratify the amendment, but apparently
they are not doing thriving business.
Pro-suffrage leaders Of both parties ex-
press themselves as certain the little
Commonwealth will settle the question
of whether the women Of the nation will be
enfranchised in time TO make use of their
new power next November.
UF TO DELAWARE.
Delaware is the st of this controversy
now" said Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
eff the little State says she is satisfied to
confer full elective franchise rights on
women. there is no power that will prevent
them voting at the next Presidential
elections. If she says no, the issue will
be in grave doubt, because there are no
encouraging indications that either Ner-
mont or Connecticut will ratify the amend
ment However, they might surprise us,
Certainly for n short time the eyes OF
the whole nation will he on Delaware.
That State has it in her power to make, or
refuse to make, voters of many millions
of women. What she will do is, OF course,
her business, and it is not for an outsider
like me to offer suggestions to a sovereign
Commonwealth. 1t is some distinction,
however, to occupy the determining posi-
tion in great controversy OF this nature.
Dover will be an exceedingly lively
town during the debate on the amend
ment. Women from about a score of
State. will, be there all urging the ratifi-
cation of the suffrage amendment.

In the daytime the woodchuck tas it is

it gives shrill whistle. Its bite is severe,

G. N. WILL ADD TWO
MORE THROUGH TRAINS
Schedule of Trains 3 and 4 to Be Ex-
tended to the Coast July IL
Six Hours Earlier.

Ii present expectations of the Great
Northern officials are carried out,
Montana will soon again, after a lapse
of several years, be served by two
fast coast trains each way daily over
the lines of that system.
Plans are now being made for a
new time card, effective July II, which
will make trains No. 3 and 4 through
trains from st. Paul to Seattle, i n
place of the present partial transcon-
%tinental service between St. Paul and
Havre.
General business of the passenger
department has already overtaxed the
present through trains Nos. / and 2,
and it has been found advisable to
extend the runs of trains 3 and 4. 1t
was at first planned to operate them
as far west as Spokane, but it now
appears likely that their schedule will
be further extended so as to reach the
coast.
The trains will be placed back on
fast time and in that event %westbound
train No. 3 will arrive in Havre about
six hours earlier than under the pres
ent schedule.
Train 235, operating between Havre.
Great Falls and Butte, will then be
run as a through train, reaching Great
Falls about 1880 a. M, and leaving for
Helena and Butte at s a. M, in place
of the present local train No. 275.
This will necessitate a change in the
service of train 237, westbound from
Lewistown to Butte, which will there
upon be operated as a purely local
train, instead of picking up the equip
ment of train 235, which now arrives
from Havre at 1870. Train 237 will
arrive from Lewistown on it's present
schedule, getting into Great Falls at
12:l5 p. M, and will depart for Butte
probably at 1:30 p. m.
