tee petitioning Congress again to
amend the Constitution in order to

The letter follows:

ported our cause by money. work and

many Of them gave to the woman suf-

have at last come into their victory.
Others there are. who stood in the
thick OF the campaign to the very end.
Every woman in the United States,

federal amendment. These
women possess mo- more political
freedom than they had before, and
therefore the National American
Woman Suffrage Association joins its
petition to that of the men and
women of the District Of Columbia
that the federal Constitution may be
once more amended in order that it

AN ANIMATED CONVERSATION

Give a Neapolitan a pair of dumb bells observed an American, lately returned from Italy. "and ask him if he thinks it is going to rain, and be- fore his answer is finished he will have taken enough exercise to last him all day.
 "0ne day was sitting with friend in a cafe in Naples when we observed near us two Neapolitans in conversa- tion. The younger of the two seemed greatly agitated. With his hands he made reaching and cling motions, as if climbing Then he seemed to be groE ing for something in the air as he reached right and left above his his head Next. without slaekening his conversation. he put the thumb and foretiuger of his left hand together, and, holdnig them before his eyes, went through the careful movements of one threading a small needle, and all the time he talked.
 Suddenly his manner changed. He made overhead motions, as if throw ing something. Then he apparently initiated a swimmer, and immediately afterward described several circles with his left hand. giving the impress sion of a rapidly revolving wheel.
 Finally he leaned forward and with his right hand acted the part of a person endeavoring to put a key into keyhole.
 My curiosity became unendur- able, especially as l knew nothing of the Italian language.
 That must be an interesting story that chaps telling, said to my friend what's 1t all ahout?''

There is for the future govern nient wide range open for improve ments in the administering of the city's affairs. Citizens have a great obligation entrusted to them. that of their independent right to choose men or women who shall govern the city. But if citizens of a part or section of the city are to separate themselves from the interests which have to do with the whole city. there is no possi- bility of any improvement.
 It Is noW up to every citizen to prove loyal to the best interests of the city. A house divided against itself can not stand," neither can eommuni- ties nor municipalities.
