Women Demand Rights

A group of our study club
wish to commend you for your
stand on the question Of a vote
for the District residents.
We consider that we are in
telligent women, well informed
of the affairs of the nation, yet
are given no right to go to the
polls and take out part in our
Government, merely because we
elect to live in the Capital of
our country.
There was a long and bitter
fight before the women of the
nation finally won the right to
vote, and yet we women of
Washington are still living
under the benighted period that
prevailed before suffrage was
won.
It is to be hoped that every
woman in the city will avail
herself of the great privilege of
going to the polls. and showing
to the country at large that the
women of Washington seek the
same rights as their sisters.

adversary with telling effect.
If confined to kennels, he IS
often deficient in intelligence,
but may be brought under con-
troll by personal attachment.
The bulldog has been de-
scribed as stupidity ferociouS and
showing little preference for his
master over strangers, but this
is untrue, as he has become a
guard unequalled, and 1t is diff.
ficult to find a stauncher
friend.
Few breeds have had such ups
and downs as the bulldog. but
they continue to be much sought
after pets. He is so ugly that he
Is fascinating and often displays
such friendlinesS to all that he
is ferociouS only in appearance.
The points Of a Well-bred bull
dog are as follows: The head
should be very large, the eyes Of
moderate size, and the forehead
well sunk between the eyes. The
ears should be Semierect, small,
well-placed on the top of the
head and rather close together.
The muzzle should be short,
truncate and well furnished
with chops. His back should also
be short and well arched toward
the stern, which should be fine
and of moderate length.
Many bulldogs have what is
called q crooked stern, as though
the vertebrae of the tail were
diSlocated or broken. This pos
sibly may be attributed to in
breeding. The coat should be
short, fine, smooth and glossy.
The chest should be deep and
broad and legs. strong and
muscular.

cause when the practice orig
mated in England the dog was
taught to seize the bull by the
ear or nose and attempt to hold
him down to earth. This was
declared to be a barbarous prac-
tice in 1885 and was prohibited
by law.
Few breeds Of dogs have
such a wealth of material about
them and it is therefore diff
cult in the space allotted to
write fully concerning these ami
mails. I will attempt, however,
to give a few salient facts con-
corning the breed.
The mental qualities Of the
bulldog may be highly culti-
waited, and in courage and un-
yielding tenacity of purpose he
stands unrivaled among quad
rupeds. He has become a canine
to be both admired and desired
among dog lovers.
Usually the friendliest Of all

presents two remarkable fea-
lures not usually met with in
any other breed. First, he will
not let go of his hold, but try to
retain it in the most tenacious
manner in such a way that it is
sometimes difficult to part him
from his opponent. Secondly, he
