STARTS SOMETHING
Asks a Question Which Takes
the Whole Country to Answer

When Senorita Graciela Man
dujano, Chilean delegate to the
recent Pan-American Confer
,ence of Women, asked the
names of the twelve greatest
American women, so she could
write them up for the publica-
tions she represents in the
South American country, pro-
badly she expected some one
to scribble them on the back
of a card or an old envelope
and hand it to her. However,
that was some time ago, and
the discussion precedent to a
final answer has spread from
coast to coast and the question
has been the subject of editori-
al comment in practically every
prominent newpaper in Amer
lea.
The Herald contains a spec
ial illustrated article. upon this
subject each week, and while
not furnishing an answer to the
question will be found to be Of
great interest. This is one o1
series of special illustrated
articles which appear in the
Herald regularly.

he saw that his caller couldn't squeeze through the doorway. '1'l dine outside" Mir. Bear tolc the eating house keeper. Pass me a menu, please Uncle Sammy Coon thrust a bircf bark strip into MT. Bears paws, talk ing care to keep out of reach of MT Bears claws. MT Bears face wore a pleasan, smile as he sat up and read the menu:
 Frogs Legs
 Mice's Ears Fish Tails Chicken Livers
 Pigs Feet Last Years Apples
 Next Years Acorns
 "All right" said Nr. Bear present ly. This menu suits me. But I'm not fussy. You needn't bother to take the legs off the frogs, nor the ears off the mice, nor the tails off the fish, nor the lirers out of the chickens, nor the feet off the pigs. I'm a plain coun- try person. Style is nothing to me"
 Now, Uncle Sammy Coon began to make objections. But Mir Bear soon put an end to them.
 Maybe I had better come inside after all" he remarked Perhaps I could make your doorway bigger, if tried"
 Don't trouble yourself" cried Uncle Sammy hastily. My aim is to please all tastes. And he began to push MT. Bears dinner out of doors, exactly as that gentleman had order ed it.
 Cuffy Bears father began to enjoy the first hearty meal he had since the fall before. He ate everything that Uncle Sammy gave him. And then he called for more.
 There isn't any more" said Uncle Sammy Coon.
 What roared MT. Bear There must be something more" And he peered into the eating house again. Give me that big mushroom" he said.
 That's not meant to be eaten" Uncle Sammy protested. That's one of my tables"
 Give me it.' MT. Bear beloved. And Uncle Sammy obeyed him.
 MT. Bear boted the mushroom in a lffy Give me that one." he then growled, pointing at another of Uncle Sanmy'5 tables,
 Again Uncle Sammy obeyed him. In fact he now seemed more than willing to do Mir. Bears bidding. MT Bear took one mouthful of the last dainty and gave q loud rumble of rage.
 This isn't q mushroom" he splut- tered. Its a toadstool. And it's

MIR. BEARS HEARTY MEAL.

Cuffy Bears father was large per. son. He was known as great eater And In the spring, when food was scarce in the woods he was alway: hungry. No doubt that was one req. son why he spent so much time away from home For Mir. Bear ranged the woods widely in his search for any thing that would satisfy his appetite
 One day he rambed down to Cedar Swamp. And near one end of it, be- side the creek, he stopped short Be fore him stood an odd building with a slgn which read: Uncle Sammy $ Eating House"
 "Ah. hal" MT. Bear exclaimed
 Just what I've been looking for' And he went to the door and peeped in.
 That was all he could do. The doorway was too small for a person Of his size. So MT. Bear thrust his nose into the eating house and said "Woof."
 There was somebody inside. with his back towards the door It was Uncle Sammy Coon himself, wearing a long apron. And when Mir. Bear spoke Uncle Sammy spun about so quickly that he turned three and a half times around before he could stop himself
 'Wh- -wh-what do you want" he stammered.
 "A good meal" said Mir. Bear. "A good meal. and be quick about itn' He uas terrihly h11rrry

LINCOLN ASSAILED
 BY CONFEDERA7ES
Southern Vets Say He Forced
 Civil War

Richmond. Va, June 22.-1he United Confederate Veterans, in their thirty-second annual convention in this city have recommended for study in the public schools of the South a history textbook which charges that the civil war was conceived and forced upon the South by Abraham Lincoln.
 The book was written by Col. Hu- ger w Johnston of Curryville, Ga, and was published by Miss Mildred Rutherford of Atlanta, Ga. It is en- titled 'The Truth of the War Con- spiracy of 1661.'
 The charge that Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the conflict was contained in the report of the his toric com nittee of the United Con- federate Veterans. Tn commenting On the text books used in the Southern schools, the report called attention to the importance and value of the book dealing with this phase of the war The report was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, amid cheers and {, rebel yells.'
 Report Of Committee.
 The report of the historic committee anlivened a session devoted almost ex- clusively to business. affairs. It says: . Comrades: Your Rutherford com mittee appointed to have the truth of Confederate history presented to the world, and especially to the young of the South. submits its annual report.
 Your committee has been obliged to restrict it's work to watching and influencing state school book adop tions in order to secure the adoption ot text books for use in the Southern schools, teaching our youths the great historic truths of the Confederate struggle, this enabling them to jus tify. approve and commend the ac- tons of their forbears in the sixties.

 Belfast. June s2 (By Associated Press)-Cathal o'shannon, successful candidate for parliament in Louth and Meath, declared in speech at Drogheda last night that there was one point in the proposed constitution for Ireland which the labor party would oppose to the end. This was the provision that any judge and any court of Ireland could decide that an act passed by the Irish parliament was illegal or unconstitutional in other words that the men whom the people sent to parliament "could be over- ridden and trampled under foot' on the veto of single judge.
 we are damned if we are going to have that and you will be damned if you allow it." he exclaimed.
 The charter of Irish liberty, said O'Shannon, should be above the treaty and he would not admit that anybody had the right to say the Irish people should go so far and no farther.

my housework all through the month: recommend your Vegetable Compound to my friends for female troubles. "- Mrs. DELLA SCHoLZ, 1412 Salisbury Street, St. Louis, Mo.
 Just think for moment. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been in use for nearly fifty years. It is prepar ed from medicinal plants, by the utmost pharmaceutical skill, and supe- rior methods. The ingredients thus combined in the Compound correct the conditions which cause such annoying symptoms as had been troubling Mrs. Scholz. The Vegetable Compound exer- cises restorative influence of the most desirable character, correcting the trou- ble in a gentle but efficient manner. This is noted, by the disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeabls symptoms.
