VOTE DELAYED
UNTIL MONDAY
tfashville, Tenn., Aug. 13.?Although
it was considered probable
that the Tennessee senate would vote
today on ratification of the Federal
Woman Suffrage Amendment, the '
V house was expected to delay action '
j;v until next week. <
Party leaders had planned to bring i
the joint suffrage resolution to a vote <
today in both houses, but the house t
committee to which the resolution had |
been referred announced late last
night that it would not report until
Monday. -The senate committee, how- 1
ever, after a joint hearing on the rati
fication pi posal, said a favorable report
would be returned today, thus i
clearing the way for immediate action |
on the resolution in the senate.
Suffrage advocates today were con- |
fident of success. They reported additional
accessions to their strength in
both houses and said they would have
seven votes to spare in the senate and 1
ten in the house. They were encour?aged
by a prediction last night of |
Governor Roberts, who called the
special session of the legislature and
has been active in the fight for rati- ,
fication, that the suffrage resolution
would be adopted by both houses "un1
? 4-l.i -
iwi) Huiueimng miraculous occurred."
Opponents of ratification, however, i
continued today to predict defeat of
the resolution. They declared their
rankg were holding firm, and expressed
confidence especially in the ,
outcome in the house, where, they declared
a majority are hostile to fed- (
eral suffrage.
If the suffrage, resolution is adopted
by the senate, it will go to the house 1
to lay over one day before a vote can
be taken. Suffragists said an effort 1
might be made to suspend the rules
in the house, bringing the resolution
up for immediate consideration.
Reports were persistent that opponents
of ratification would attempt a
filibuster. Speakers of both houses,
however, declared they would not permit
unnecessary delay.
SUFFRAGE QUESTION
COMES UP TUESDAY t
.. <
Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 14.?Leaders 1
in the North Carolina legislature 1
were of the opinion today that neith- f
er the senate nor the house would i
vote before Tuesday on ratification of i
the Federal Suffrage amendment. (
It was predicted that action would
be taken first in the senate probably <
Tuesday, and that if the ratification
resolution introduced yesterday were 1
nHnntcH fkora if urnul/i 1? 1
r w *v tvvuau tucll UC t'uilsidered
by the house where, it was
-expected, a bitter, close battle would <
occur. i
Suffrage advocates, encouraged by |
Governor Bickett's message urging ,
ratification and the favorable report (
by a sacrifice of the resolution, were
confident today of success in the sen ?
ate. Some of them were a bit dubious 1
about house. Sixty-three of the 120
members of the house signed the tele- 1
gram sent to the Tennessee legisla- !
ture urging it to defeat the suffrage . 1
resolution. (
Anti-suffragists said they felt certain
all those who signed the telegram
would vote against ratification, '
thus assuring defeat of the resolution.
Suffrage opponents also claim-. 1
ed they would be able to break into I
the suffrage strength in the senate,
and predictions were made that the
suffrage resolution never would reach
the house.
Ratification resolution were intro- i
duced yesterday in both houses, Sena- i
tor Scales, .Democrat, called on the {
senate to ratify, while the house resolution
was introduced by Represents

The house resolution was still in committee
today, and leaders of the op- '
position said it probably would be
left there. The house, they predicted,
will await action in the senate, I
and if it is favorable, will act on the i
senate resolution instead of its own.
Suffragists declared today that an :
effort was being made to delay action
here with a view of waiting to see
what action is taken on suffrage by
the Tennessee legislature.

SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM
Eminent Authorities HaVe Gone on
Record, Though It Ha* Been
Subject of Dispute.
Aristotle's history of animals doblares
that horses, oxen, sheep, goats,
logs and all viviparous quadrupeds
1ream. Pliny, In his natural history
specifies the same animals.'' Buffon
describes the dreams of animals. Macnlsh
calls attention to the fact that
horses neigh and rear in their sleep*
and affirms that cows and sheep, especially
at the period of rearing their
young, dream.
Darwin, In the "Descent of Man,"
says that "dogs, cuts, horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds, as is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams, and this is shown
by their movements and voice."
George John Romanes, in his "Mental
Evolution In Animals," says that
(lie fact that dogB dream is proverbial,
and quotes Seneca and Lucretius,
and furnishes proof from Dr. Lauder
Lindsay, an eminent authority, that
horses dream. Bechsteln holds that
the bullfinch dreams, and gives a case
where the dream took on the character
of a nightmare, and the bird fell
from Its perch, and four great authorities
say that dreumlng becomes so
vivid as to lead to soinnaufoullsm.
Guer gives a case of somnambulistic
watch dog which prowled In search
of Imaginary strangers or fowls, and
exhibited toward them a whole serlesf
pantomimic actions, including
barking. Dryden says: ITlie little
birds In dreams the songs repeat."

SHREWD IDEA IN POLITICS
Picture* of Presidential Candidates!
on Letter Heada Was a Popular
Thing In 1840.
Back In the early days of the republic
It was considered a fine Idea
to decorate paper with the portraits
of presidential candidates. In this way
the letter writer showed not only his
preference, but tried to Influence his
correspondents for his candidate, remarks
the New York Sun. A fine example
of this sort of political propaganda
was unearthed recently In New
Fork. It dates back to 1840, when
William Henry Harrison was running
for president on the Whig ticket
against Martin Van Buren, Democrat.
The letterhead shows the two sldesv
of the gold medal awarded by congress
to General Harrison for his services
In the War of 1812. The picture
to the left shows a medallion portrait
of General Harrison, while the one at
the right depicts the Goddess of Liberty,
armed with a spear, placing a
wreath of laurel on an ^Indian tepee.
This latter was Intended as a compliment
to the general for his success
In fighting against the British and Indians.
,
Under the pictures of the two sides
of the medal is a copy of the resolution
of congress conferring the medals
ea General Harrison and Isaac
Shelby, "late governor of Kentucky."
Improvised Gun Hat Kick.
The Burma government forbids the
natives to. have guns In their possession,
and prohibits trading In arrows
and ammunition. But the native's ingenuity
enables him to get around this.
He will find a piece of gasplpe somewhere,
fit a rude stook to It and a
crude primer and hammer, and will
use safety matches In lieu of powder.
He cuts off the heads of about two
vi uuaiA^iica auu puis mem lnio
the improvised barrel. He then rams
his shot home and is ready for business.
And let me tell you, if you never
tried to shoot with such a gun, don't
ever do so. Why, an express rifle is
about as klckless as a .22 caliber Flobert
compared with this improvised
shotgun I I tried shooting one once
upon a time and the thing almost
kicked my shoulder off.?National Geographic
Bulletin.
Getting Rid of a Knot.
It Is often a difficult business t?
get rid of knots, especially If these are
ef - long standing. By following the
plan indicated It Is a simple matter
to free the hardest knots, whether
these be in straps, harness, rope, cord
or anything of a similar nature. As a
first step place the knot on some hard
surface and give it a good hammer
ing on all sides with a mallet or a
thick piece of wood. Now boll up a
little water with soap In it sufficient
to make rather a cloudy solution
Then soak the knot for two or three
minutes in the liquid. At the end oi
this time it will be found iLut it can
be quite easily untied, often enough
with the fingers. The loosening can
be done with some sharp Implement
Profitable Companionship.
Among the most curious and Inter

GOOD HEALTH HINTS
Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Advice
on Avoiding Sickness.?
Used Black-Draught
30 Tears.
Cameron, Ok la.?"I hare used
rhed ford's Black-Draught tor about
thirty years, *ud eertatnly ought to

It Is," aays Mr. T. L. Bos tier, a
well-known tanner ot this place. Mr.
Bostler has pa?ad hla three-eco re-en client

till Is good, "and I can say BlackDraught
did Its part"
"Where there Is a lot ot malaria, a
liver medicine is a necessity, and I
hare never found one better than
Black-Draught," oontlnnes the Oklahoman.
"It Is one that I know to bo
reliable. I sure use it for the liver,

It has dona me a world of good. We
use it for the family, and It gives
sausiacuon.
"Moat trouble, or sickness, comes
from the liver, and if taken In time
can be avoided. That la why I use
Black-Draught as I do. I am much
pleased with results obtained."
Thedford's Black-Draught is purely
vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent*
