"CIOuds ard Rain'
We like the cloudy weather,
And of course we like the rain;
But won't we all be mighty glad,
To see the sun again.
And to get up in the morning
To see the sun arise;
and watch the f1eecy clouds
Float lazily around the skies.
We've had our share of eastern
storms,
And of the western winds;
And now we'll all be thankful
For the southern breeze again.

New York.-Mrs. Raymond Franzen,
wife of a professor of psychology at
the University of California, hence
forth will not believe in the old supersti-
ton that when she is followed by a
wailing black cat, it means bad luck.
Just before the steamship Orca was
hit by freighter in the st. Lawrence
gulf, Mrs Franzen was on her way
to her room. "Bonzon," Captain Mat
thews' black cat, followed her, emit
ting. she says, peculiar cry. She
added, when the Orca got in to port:
Il went back to the lounge where
other passengers were dancing. A
few minutes later the freighter struck
us. My room was In the path Of
the prov of the ship, and had 1 dis
obeyed the warning of the cat / would
have been hurt"
When the A cabin passengers dis
embarked they presented Captain J.
E. P. Matthews with a testimonial
thanking him and his crew for calm
ness they displayed at the time of
the accident.

Erie, Pa.-Rescued by a crowd of
more than 1000 persons after he had
been washed through a 1,0OO-foot Gull
vert, SO inches in diameter, diminutive
Joseph Nevin, six, was duly impressed
with his unusual experience.
Gee, but I'm lucky, amt 1? bet

These were his first words as he
shivered under the coat of Charles
Green, driver of the car of the chief
of the Erie fire department, who took
him to st. yincents hospital.
Physicians at the hospital declared
the boy had been uninjured and he was
taken to his parents. His mother wept.
His fathers voice was husky with joy.
The boy slipped and fell into the
raln-swelled open end of the culvert in
Ash street near Parade and Thirtieth
streets. Several people saw him fall
and soon a great crowd, augmented by
the Erie firemen, began hunting for
him. They searched frantically for
more than two hours before they
learned he had been rescued.
Large blocks of wood, swept through
the culvert by the raging waters, made
his progress hazardous. He was tossed
against the rough edges of the con-
crete tube, but finally emerged at the
opposite end, shivering but smiling.
"The blocks hit me but | showed
them off as they went by with the big
waves and kept my head close to the

youths is good swimmer, so after
trying in vain to attract the attention
of persons ashore they chose clinging
to the rock rather than the attempt to
swim to land.
Throughout the night they struggled
to keep awake, while waves broke over
their foothold They fought fatigue
lest they fall asleep and slip into the
water.
Dawn found the tide still too high
to attempt making land. 1t was not
until just before noon that the ebb
tide had sufficiently lowered the sur
face to make it possible for them to
wade to safety.
In the meantime parents of both
youths had telephoned the police.
Search was started, which was halted
only by the arrival Of the youths at
their homes shortly after o'clock.

ENGLAND CONSIDERS
 ENFRANCHIS|NG ACT.
Ii Passed, Male and Female
 Voters Mill Balance

London, Feb. 29.-If the bin to en-
 franchise all women at the age of 2l.
 which is being discussed in the house oi commons today is enacted, the
 number Of male and female electors in Great Britain will virtually balance,
 according to the estimates of the bill's promoters. Under the present law. limiting the
 franchise to women of 30 or over, the electorate numbers about 2l,000,O0 or whom about s,000.000 are women.
 It is figured that another 5000, 900 would be added by the adoption of the bill making 100000 voters of each sex.
 It is known the laborites favor the measure and likewise a great number Of the liberals. whose election mani. fostos declared in favor Of treating the women on equality with the men.
 ES.Premier Asquith the liberal lead CT. who was formerly an unbending opponent Of woman suffrage in any form, but who changed his views dur. ing the war, has pronounced in favor of the present proposal. The con- scrvatives mostly oppose 1t.
 The government is understood to have assured its supporters before
 hand that it would not treat the bin as a ministerial measure but would give it it's blessing and leave it to the free discretion of the house.
 The women members of parliament are divided on the bill. Miss Dora thea Jcwson, labor member for Nor wich, in her maiden speech, seconded the measure. She urged the house Of commons to follow in the footsteps of the British overseas possessions, such as Canada and New Zealand, and even some of the eastern territories. such as Madras Bombay and Burma, in giving an equal franchise to women.
 A different view, however, was talk en by the Duchess of Athoil. conser- tatise. She declared against granting the ballot to young women when they reached the age of twenty-one. be- cause she said such an extension Of the franchise at the present time would give the women voters a ma jorty over the men and would appear to be an attempt by the women to take advantage Of the fact that 750,- 900 men had been lost during the war.
 Mrs. Margaret wintringham. labor. disagreed with her conservative sister fin the view that to pass this bin would be taking advantage Of the men. She said a great argument for giving the women the vote in 1918 was their work during the war.

HOMING PIGEON IS
 BLACKMAILERS' AID
New Yorker Ordered to Tie Si,00O
 to Birds Leg

New York, Feb. 29.--A homing pigeon was delivered yesterday to William Borheck, a wealthy Long Is- land City dry goods merchant, with a note directing him to attach $i,000 to the leg of the bird and release it to fly to the alleged blackmailers.
 Facing the most unusual plot in the history of the police department Cap tain John Gallagher, in charge of de- tectives seeking the bird conspirators, said last night he would use a police airplane to trace the senders of the pigeon. He plans to let the bird go this morning and then have it chased by an aviator-detective to its home.
 Mir. Borheck is one of the three proprietors of Henning- -Borheck-Hey- ser firm operating the largest retail dry goods store in Long Island City. His home at whitestone, N. J., is one of the finest there. It was guarded last night. Tho store, located at 35i Flushing avenue, in the Astoria sec ton of Long Island City, takes in rir- tually a whole block.
 Taxi Driver Brings Note

The chauf- feur attempted to park his machine directly in front of the main door, but was ordered to halt up near the cor ner He got under vay and stopped at the designated spot. He then climbed out of his seat and opened tho cab. Reaching in he produced small white box, carefully wrapped in white paper. with a letter on top. The flap of the envelope was fastened around one of the strings of the box and was stuck down in place.
 Bearing his flare" the chauffeur en- tered the department store. He glanced around seeking somebody to relieve him of the box, which was about the size of a hat box. A floor walker approached him and asked what was wanted.
 T have a box for the boss Mir. Borheck," said the taxi driver, pass- ing 1t over.
 The fioorwalker received the parcel and asked if there was not a receipt to be signed.
 No" said the chauffeur, there's nothing to be signed. Just give it to the boss"
 The employe carried the box down the aisle to the rear of the store where Mir. Borheck's private offices are olcated. He announced the ar- rival of the parcel and Mir. Borheck. busy at the moment, did not pause to examine 1t ss 1t was put on his desk. Later on, however, it caught

 Pigeon Startlcs Merchant.
 Disregarding the letter, apparently because he overlooked it, MT. Bor- heck tore open the wrappings. He found a pasteboard box and ripped the cover off it. He rose from his chair in astonishment. The box con- tained merely a rather plump and exceedingly bright-eycd brown pigeon which cooked an inquiring eye up- ward at the puzzled merchant.
 "A joke" thought Mir, Borheck, who was about to call for some one to transfer the newcomer to more comfortable quarters. Then he mo- ticed the letter.
 The message said:
 "Unless you deliver si,0o0 by this bird your life will be in danger"
 The threat from the air was un- signed. It was written in ink, and the writer had disguised his or her hand by slanting all the letters back ward. The paper had been torn from a cheap pad of linen stationery. For some reason, Mir. Borheck's con viction that tue advent of the bird was just Il joke began to fade out right there, and he notified the .,s- toria police station, Detectives from that post and from tho Hunters Point station went to the store 10 inyesti- gate. .#a
 Police 10 Send Out an Airplane.
 Captain Gallagher was notified and Mir. Borheck. carrying the bird, went to tho Astoria station. He refused 10 talk to newspaper men. The bird was left in custody of the captain. Captain Gallagher decided that it was a job for the aero squad.
 He pointed out that a homing pigeon would always "home," and that if it were released today tho chances were an airplane could whirr along back of it. Then when the pigeon swoopod down at its journeys ead the airplane could either park in the front yard or notify the po- liceman on the beat to take up the pursuit.
 Reporters who went to the store in an effort to ascertain whether Mir. Borheck had had any trouble with any one were met by Mir. Hennigg. who said that no reason existed for any one wishing to extort money from his partner. He admitted that every body at the store had been consid- erably upset by the incident and said that applications might be made for permits to carry weapons.
