Jtumorous Jrpartraciit 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* * m J ?kM|iot Vlio tlons tne rea-iacea ituiuium hhusl ???d 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.

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."

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 Sun.

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 Journal. general'ne'ws notes Items of Interest Gathered from All Around the World.

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.
