Maryland Anti Raps the Jane
Addamses and jeanette Rank
ins Before Legislative
Committee.

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 12--At the hear
ing on the RATIFICATION Of the Federal
Woman Suffrage Amendment, yesterday,
the suffragists absented themselves and
refused to speak, demanding that the hear
ing be postponed for a week This the
joint committees of the two houses re-
fused to do, and the hearing proceeded
amid protests by Delegates Coburn, Curry,
Shartzer and lvcrson
Mrs. Rufus M. Gibbs who spoke first
for the ants, aroused much enthusiasm
She thought Maryland ought to be able
To regulate its own affairs without die
tation from Washington or the Western
States. Mrs Gibbs declared that repre-
hensibIe feminism and radicalism under
lies the woman suffrage propaganda,
which has assumed the aspect of die
tation. Ii was sense of deep injustice
which has driven home-loving women,
like herself, said Mrs. Gibbs. openly to
oppose the WELL nanced women's organ-
cations which are working TO get the
political power they want for a little
cotcrie of themselves.
Suffragists are in the greao minority,
said Mrs. Gibbs. She was willing, she
said, TO have suffrage in Maryland when a
majority was Enthusiastically for it, but
although herself Northerner, it made
her blood boil TO think of Maryland taking
part in forcing upon the Southerners this
thing which they did not want and had
rejected.
Mrs. Gibbs declared that ''if the men
work for us 3l6 days in the year and
fight TO protect us when fighting is neces-
sary, we might, ] think, trust them TO
vote for us
She recounted the results Of women
voting in number of States, the election
of Mayor Thompson in Chicago, the in
crease of Socialism in New York, the
political corruption in Colorado, and de-
clared amid uproarious applause:
IF we had had many Jeanette Ran
kins and Jane Addamses in Congress we
might have been vassals of Germany by
this time.
William l.. Marbury followed with an
attack on woman suffrage on constitu-
tional grounds, Its effect on the South and
the danger Of taking an irreparable step.
Senator Legg volunteered tribute 10
Mrs. Gibbs and Maryland womanhood
and warned against making another
mistake" in ratifying a constitutional |
amendment. Delegates Coburn, Shartzer |
and others closed the discussion and |
heated retorts amid loud cheers from |
either side were the rule. The debate |
reached a near riotous stage after the |
committees had adjourned the meeting.

English friends say and write from their

Mr.. MOUSE IS TAUGHT TO WORK

One day Mrs. Mouse. who had thrcc
small babies, found an old shoe which she
dragged with n great deal Of trouble to
where she lived in the attic.
This will be tho very thing for my
babies to sleep in when am away hunting
for food" she said to herself
Poor little Mrs Mouse, she had hard
time of it. for her husband Mr.. Mouse,
was a lazy fellow, never bringing home a
thing, but always eating everything he
found in the house and never thinking of
his wife and children.
One day Mrs. Mouse tucked her three
babies snugy IN the shoe and told them TO
sleep until she returned.
MIR. Mouse was asleep behind box
nearby, and when he awoke he shifted,
for he smelt the leather shoe.
He ran to the shoe and shifted. Not
much taste, he said, ''but it will save me
running out for my breakfast" and SO
he went on nibbling.
Nibbe nibble, nibble, went MIR. Mouse,
and the first thing be knew he pulled out
the tail of one of his'own children from the
toe of the shoe.
Now what is that?'' he said, looking
at it with sharp eyes, II don t like worms !,
Iguess will begin to eat on the other side.
Nibblt nibble, nibble, he worked, and
then he jumped for there was a tiny paw,
and this time he awoke the baby mice,
who began to squeak.
Squeak, squeak cried the babies,
father is trying to eat us up" And just
that minute along came Mrs. Mouse.
Long suffering Mrs. Mouse had reached
the end of her patience: she grabbed her
husband by one car and such a twist as
she gave il. "You wretchr' she cried |;
''you would eat my babies, would your"
and she gave him smart box on the
other ear.
This time he ran behind box, where he
sat trembling and frightened for he had
never before seen his little wife angry.
Every time he came near her Mrs.
Mouse ran at him, and after while he
gaxe 1T up and away he went.
BY and by, when the babies were asleep
and Mrs. Mouse was getting ready TO go
out again. Mr.. Mouse came tugging
home big piece of cheese and meekly
laid il before his wife.
He did not even try TO nibble it himself,
but sat still and watched her eat, and
when she had finished he said, II know
where there is plenty more, my dear:
YOU stay at home after this and take care
of the babies and / will bring home the
food"
"And to think, said Mrs. Mouse rs
she sat alone later, that all this time ]
could have made him work If | had not
been so meek. | wish | had boxed his
ears long ago.

I'm coming back for you in half
An hour" David Thorne called in from
the gate. Alice, who WAS settling her mother
comfortably in cushioned chair on the
porch, smiled and nodded, then turned
back TO the little old lady with an express
sion Of dismay.
Gracious, shouldn't gor' she said.
'Thc weeds are growing so fast you can
hear them since last nights rain, and the
grass needs cutting"
THAT can go till tomorrow, her mother
said comfortably.
"But tomorrow must bake, and then

and dressed"
"Dressed But it's only two-mle

"Alicer' her mother exclaimed in des-
peratIon. Haven't you any sense at all.
DO you want TO go out for an afternoon

Alice turned to the little mirror in the
hall and surveyed herself. Her hair, al
ways done hastily in the morning, had
loosened and hung in wisps around her
forehead and neck, her hands were stained
from pa ing vegetables.
"Tli slip your linen coat over my house
dress, and comb my hair" she conceded
after a brief examination.
You'll wash and comb your hair
and put on the blue gingham with the
organdie ruffles," her mother said with
more determination than she usually
showed

she started to pull out hairpins.

when someone else does
Yes, ] think 10 too, replied Alice,
who had been in an auto but half dozen
times. "YOn can feel whether your horse
likes you or not by the way he pulls on
his rcins And il he likes you, you cnn have
lovely times out with him, without any
humans about at all /"
DO you feel the personality of all
dumb creatures, including sq,inshes,
David laughed, thinking Of her talk the
other evening.
II believe do. Alice answered. "You
sec, most Of my life has been spent among
such things, rather than among people.
Even my chickens have developed quite
distinct characters-"
David laughed again, looking side
wise at the girl Whit a picture Of sweet
ness and simplicity she made, sitting
there, he thought. He could see her pro-
file only, but it showed him the length Of
her dark lashes, the straightness Of her
nose, the way her lips closed, firmly yet
softly, aud the deep cleft in her chin
defect that made il seem all the stronger.
Drawn by the magnetic attraction Of his
gaze. Alice turned around and looked al
him, and he saw for the first time how very,
little and she turned away TO the contem-
plation Of the little river they were driving
near.
That's au awfully pretty dress, y
David said presently. "You ought 20
wear that sort Of blue always it matches
your eyes so well.
II didn't know men ever noticed such
things" Alice said wonderingly. But she
was glad now her mother bad made her
change.
David was delighted with her genuine
enthusiasm over the Model Farm, and
her ready grasp Of the details he explained
to her He went on and on, showing her
the various cellars, The old place under

two hours they found they were both
tired so they climbed bank over the
river and sat in the shade on fallen log.
There was silence for long time
while each looked out over the meadows.
Yet II was not the silence OF embarrass-
ment: rather, 10 WAS a quiet that was as
eloquent rs spoken words could be.
Someone called from the farmhouse
and David rose, holding out his hand to
help Alice up As their hands met and
clasped n sudden wave Of warmth and
sweetness went through the girl, and as
she followed back to the house, she felt
she had never been so happy.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kiRkman
WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR wAsTE9

In thrifty Europe even vell-to-do
families consider the advantageous dis
posal of Junk seriously. But in this cnun-
try We are apt To underrate this humble
source of revenue, and our more prosper
Gus families often prefer 10 throw away
Junk rather than to sell il to the ragrnsn.
II is true that many of us have been
cheated by the ragrncn and consequently
dislike TO deal with him-but that is
largely our own fault: for We do not take
the trouble of finding out what our old
newspapers and rags and scraps Of metal
ought to bring Then, too, We hate to
haggle, and feel it beneath our dignity to
concern ourselves with the sale OF such
things as worn-out bicycle or automobile
tires, ovcrshoes, old bottles, etc. and
cannot seem N view the question as the
European views 1t
Yet, the European IS right. Thrifty
living is right living. And especially in
this day of high prices, We should not
despise making the few pennies here and
there which junk Will bring.
Do YOU realize that bones are used for
fertilizer and glue; rubber in any form can
be reclaimed; tin is turned back into the
manufacturer hands; cotton rags make
paper. wooden rags are made into shoddy'
and that old newspapers and magazines re-
appear in the form Of pasteb0ard boxes?
You should not throw away any Of these
things.
If you do not need the money which the
sale of these things W II bring, YOU might
form q community Waste Club, each
member of which would save his junk to be
sold every three months or six months for
some charitable purpose. II women club
bed together in this way, If would be pos
sible TO get fair prices from a reputable
junk dealer, and he would make an effort
10 hold the patronage of such an organiza-
ton. The members would have the salts
faction of knowing that they were re-
ceiving fair prices for this waste matter
and that the money was being turned
back into useful circulation again. The
club might be run for the support OF a
hospital bed-a social settlement club
etcetera. Boy Scouts could b. Of the great
est assistance in this matter; the waste
might be kept by them IN some convenient
place and they would be useful in finding
a junk dealer who paid fair prices, and in
conducting the sale.
The collection and disposal of waste
matter is not question OF the benefit to
the individual or to the community, it is
question of benefit to the nation.
If any of my readers belong TO, or know
about, clubs of this sort. or have succeeded
in standardizing the price of junk in their
community. would like very much to
hear from them in regard TO their ex-
periences.
Community clubs for civic betterment
are splendid things, but il is my opinion
that clubs which are formed for the pur-
pose Of helping the family pocketbook
meet the high cost of living, are equally
necessary today A waste club of this sort,
if run only for the betterment of its mem
bers, would be one well worth forming.
