Wu Still Following.?The conversation
at a recent dinner turned to the
subject of romantic marriages, when
this little anecdote was volunteered
by H. M. Aaker, a North Dakota politician:
One afternoon Brown was standing
on the corner looking at the jitneys
when he was suddenly confronted by
an acquaintance of other years. Soon
they were comparing notes and recalling
happy hours.
"So you were married ten years ago,"
said the acquaintance in response to a
statement made by Brown. "Took
place in the church I suppose, with
bridesmaids, flowers, cake and the
brass band."
"No," answered Brown, with a reflective
expression; "it was an elopement"
"An elopement, eh?" returned the
acquaintance. "Did the girl's father
follow you?"
"Yes," answered Brown with something
akin to a sigh, "and he has been
with us ever since.'*
The Warm Bath.?Smythe's mistake,
which is described in the London
Chronicle, must have been disconcerting,
to say the least.
"You'll find your bath in the out*ouse."
Thus he had been directed the night
before at the little inn where he was
stopping, and that is why he was now,
in his dressing gown, pushing open
the outhouse door. It was dark, but
there was the tub, and it would do. He
hopped in. In the middle of his ablu*

head in at the door. In the dim light
he failed to see the man in the tub.
"Water quite warm, thanks," obser
ed Smythe, "but it's a trifle muddy."
"Muddy be hanged!" roared the
landlord, bursting in suddenly. "Your
tub's in the next place. Get out of it,
you blitherin* idiot! Not a word of
this in the 'ouse, mind! not a word
of this in the 'ouse! That's my 1
'ome-brewed ale you're a-washin' in!*'
Success Achieved.?Miss Nona Mc- i
Adoo, Secretary McAdoo's beautiful i
daughter, who has returned worn out j
from her Red Cross nursing in the i
French war zone, said to a Washington
interviewer: 1
"Red Cross nursing is hard work, i
It is dreadful work, but the French '
expect their women and girls to do it i
as a matter of duty. The French
don't slobber over a pretty Red Cross 1
nurse slaving 16 hours a day any i
more than they slobber over a handsome
young soldier who has lost an f
arm. 1

Wives-in-Law.?"Are you sisters?"
asked the census-taker of two colored

Bad Strategy.?Gen. Hugh L. Scott (
was talking In Salt Lake City about 1
strategy. !
"Too many strategists," he said. '
"jump at conclusions. They are too 1
hasty. They begin a new movement
before the old one is finished. Hence,
all manner of errors.
"The strategists are like the floor- '
walker whom a married man, having '
got separated from his wife in the 1
crowd, approached and said:
"Excuse mo, but I've lost my wife?" !
" 'Coffins,' said the floor-walker, 1
'ninth floor back. Gent's mourning, 1

Wasn't Speaking to Him.?Bill Nye
used to tell this story of the late
Myron W. Reed of Denver:
Reed was a bright and original
preacher and many curious people 1
came to hear him. Once a man from
the Gunnison country arrived at his 1
church rather late Sunday morning
while Reed was making a low but
earnest prayer.
"Louder," yelled the late comer.
Mr. Reed ceased his prayer for a
moment, looked at the gentleman from
over the range and said: "My friend,
I wasn't speaking to you."
Hardened in Crime.?"Listen to this,
Maria," said Mr. Stubbs, as he unfolded
his scientific paper. "This article
states that in some of the old Roman
prisons that have been unearthed they
found the petrified remains of the
prisoners."
"Gracious. John!" exclaimed Mrs.
Stubbs, with a smile, "them's what
they call hardened criminals, I expect."
Young Fellows Coming.?Postmaster
?No, not much doin' in town. Did you

Farmer?Not Lem?
Postmaster?Yes, Lem.
Farmer?By cricky! It beats all

Bright Idea.?"Ladies," announced
the president of an afternoon bridge
club, "ladies, it has been moved and
seconded that there shall be no conversation
at the card tables. What
shall we do with the motion?"
"I suggest," said a sprightly little
blonde, "I suggest that we discuss it
while we play."
Not Necessary.?Pullman Porter?
Next stop i3 yo' station, sah. Shall I
brush yo' off now?
Morton Morose?No; it is not necessary.
When the train stops I'll step
off.
After Which.?A boy reaches far
across the table and helps himself to
butter.
Father?What did you do that for?
Haven't you a tongue?
Son?Yes, sir, but my tongue isn't

DR. YAMEI KIN TALKS
Chinese Woman Physician Gives Her
Views on Suffrage.
If American women, when they begun
their struggle for the ballot, had
begun instead to train their boy children
in the proper consideration of
women, their sex would now have
equality as a matter of course, says
Dr. Yamei Kin, China's foremost
woman physician, who is in this
country on furlough for a year.
Not that Dr. Kin isn't a believer in
suffrage.
"Women ought to have the ballot,"
she said, "for the sense of responsibility
it will give them. When they vote
they can't say of this or that law, 'Oh,
well, I can't help that; It's bad, but I
have nothing to do with the making of
the laws.' Woman's vote won't make
much difference in conditions, for they
will vote Just about as men do, but
it will make a vast difference in women."
Dr. Kin's opinion is based on observation,
for she came from China by
way of California and spent some time
there. She brought away a few
qualms on the subject of what the
franchise will do to women.
"I'm afraid the women who go into
politics will get hard and tricky," she
said. "Of course women will want
to hold office and they ought to. Women
are splendid in administrative and
detail work, as their service on hospital
boards, etc., shows. But administrative
work is one thing and polltics
is another. I suppose, however,
that the women who get tricky in politics
would be tricky In some other
work if they weren't in politics.
"Women certainly have a lot to learn
if they're going into the political game.
In California I met Mrs. Helen Williams,
who ran for lieutenant governor
there. She told me that when the
nomination was forced upon her she
felt as helpless as a baby. She didn't
know one thing that she ought to do.
The men had to tell her."
Dr. Kin spoke at the Connecticut
suffrage convention on October 20, but
aside rrom tnai sne is not going iu
take any part in the movement. She
refused an invitation to march in the
suffrage parade today.
"I have a very liberal feeling toward
those who like to march in parades."
she said, "but I don't. I never would
walk in a parade in China, and why
should I here?"
The so-called woman suffrage movement
in China has collapsed, Dr. Kin
3ald.
"It was a forced thing, a worked up
thing, which made a good deal of
noise, but meant nothing. Men don't
yote in China; they are not ready for
It yet. Yuan Shlh-kai is preparing
the monarchy so that when the Chinese
people are ready for freedom the thing
;an be done without jar."?New York

Another Illustration.
Almost every day we are having
most striking illustrations of the terrible
conseouences of carrying: con-1
cealed weapons. Some of these illustrations
are too horrible to contemplate,
and we would not refer to them
save for the hope of creating such a
strong public sentiment as to have
the law against carrying pistols strictly
enforced. Last week in Charleston,
even in the committee room, where the
executive committee had met for the
purpose of declaring the result of the
election, men were armed to the teeth
and, in all probability filled with liquor
it did not require a great deal
to provoke them to pull their deadly
weapons and open fire with the result
that several were wounded, and one
excellent young man lost his life. The
murder of this young man is enough to
arouse the whole state and cause it to
make the demand that the law against
carrying the deadly murderous pistols
shall be enforced. We see no reason
why it should not be done. While we
are congratulating ourselves upon the
prospect of better times in Charleston,
it would be a good thing if we should
do all that we can to have all the
laws, in every part of the state, strictly
enforced. We believe that sentiment
alonpr this line is ftrowinpr. and
that while public officials may be
criticised by some people for enforcing
laws where they are offenders, there
are thousands who most heartily ap
to Rive them all the support necessary.?Greenwood

Terms and Conditions
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 18TH, 1916, at 6.00 P. M., SILARP.
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to
discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may
rlo so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. Wlien a
subscription has been paid in full, It cannpt be discontinued. The Clubmaker ^
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrip- ?.
tion to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer's to be
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
books.
No name will be counted In competition for a premium until the subscript
tion price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
Club.
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, wc shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
tlio name for one year for each sueli itaymcnt.
After a name has been entered on our books, no trausfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic and where Clubmakers attempt to make
such transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofIce.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
?ive that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions m<ust be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
;hem, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
t is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.

|)ostoflice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
;he paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
:rouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will
ie allowed for the working off of the tie. A
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCIV 18, 1918, at 6 p. m.,
