problem. A little example to prove
this was stated In an article on wo-
man'. suffrage by Elisabeth Crie-
tick.
“In a snail English town the etty
fathers built and furnished an asy-
lum for small waifs. They furnished
40 erlbx 40 pillows 40 blankets and
40 pAlr of sheets. But when the new-
ly appointed nurses went to put their
charge to bed the first night they
found no mattresses and the chil-
dren had to sleep on the hard planks.
One of the city fathers hearing of the
excitement exclaimed: "Wo should
have had a woman on the boardl*
and s'ralghtway they got one.
“Th ey did need one and so do all

Gold Jewelry. Timepieces Silverware Cut Glass. Bronzes and Leather Goods
ATTEND THIS SALE— It means easing the strain of Christmas shopping for right here you will
find just the things you are seeking—things that are different things that represent the very choic-
est and daintiest in Jewelrydom. Leather goods and all kinds of novelties too! As to prices no-
where else can you secure such wonderful things at such low figures! The proof? You will be
convinced positively by coming in. /
THE REASON?— We prefer to take our loss now rather than pack and store goods when work-
men begin street widening operations so goods mus go at prices that barely equal cost in many cases.
Our stock is so enormous—slso-
000—that we cannot attempt to give
individual prices here but all goods
are marked on original tickets in
plain figures and the reductions are
immense!

Mn B. G. Barnes In a short talk
brought out the good effect of the
ballot on the women themselves. In
developing their sente of responsi-
bility.
Mln Marin B. Fenwick said the
had received a letter from Dr. Anna
Shaw In which Kan Antonio v.us
mentioned favorably as the next
meeting place of the Woman's No-
tional Suffrage association. This will
be decided at a meeting of the exec-
utive hoard In Chicago next month
and very little doubt Is held as to the
outcome. Texas is considered one of
the hopeful fields for suffrage. Miss
Fenwick's talk was witty and to the
point and showed the various steps
women had taken towards the big
step—the suffrage.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Dec. 14.—
John J. McNamara's attacks on tha
authorities for causing his arrest
were read tn tha dynamite conspiracy

His report from his prison In Los
Jngeles to the Iron workers Inter-

September 1611. was dated "In a
cell 2600 miles away" and charged
. that the authorlt.ee had "Molen"

Ic.vartsrs In Indianapolis when the
i.t rest was made.
District Attorney Miller chnrged
that this report with one by Prezl-
<i. nt Frank M. Ryan who charged
' McNamara had been "kidnapped'
V as read In the convention by Her-
btrt K. Hockln and that the conven-
tion approved the statements.
William Hhupe of Chicago and
other defendants who were dele-
gates to the convention were asked
whether they knew that President
Kyan appointed a committee to
s* nd McNamara a gold badge” ex-
pressing the esteem of the conven-
tion." Shupe declared he did not
r< call It. Shupe said he remem-
bered that as a tribute to McNamara
nil the delegates "stood with uncov-
ered heads and for a nilnute turned
their faces toward the west.”
Witness Denies Evidence.
in the afternoon Peter J. Smith
defendant from Cleveland took the
witness stand and denied every bit
of evidence the government had In-
troduced against him. He even
denied part of his direct testimony
ot. cross-examination. At one time
curing tin* proceedings Judge Ander-
son interposed saying "If you are a
witness for these other defendants
you owe it to them to tell the truth.
You nre Imprudent."
Another remark made to Smith by
the court during his testimony was:
"You'll have a hard time to make
anybody believe you were not the
aggressor. It Is almost Impossible
to keep you from fighting now."
Smith denied statements made

“Hike.”
NEW YORK. Dec. 14.—Twinkling
ankles unhampered by stockings
either silk cotton or wool will be
the rule In the great suffrage "hike”
।to Albanj' which starts Monday
morning if Mrs. Ines Craven has her
way. Anyhow Mrs. Craven told a
reporter today that she will wear no
stockings and will advise the other
marchers at their preliminary meet-
ing tomorrow afternoon to do the
same. Mrs. Craven advises her fel-
low marchers as follows:
"Grease your shoes. Wear low
shoes loose and several sizes too
large and have them well oiled on
the inside. It will pay. for the feet
will be much easier after a hard
day's march. I have marched
through the African jungles and I
know what I'm talking about. AU
this talk about wearing cotton or
woolen stockings is bosh—l'm not
going to wear any stockings at all—-
just my bare feet Inside of well oiled
shoes.”
"Aren't you afraid your ankles will
get cold?" asked the reporter.
“Not at all: I'll keep moving. I’ll
be warm enough all right."
"But think was a stir several hun-
dred white ankles will make moving
along the highways above Konkers.’
"My ankles will not be white"
said Mrs. Craven. "I’m going to
paint them black so no one will
know that I haven't any stockings
on and 1 will advise all the other
I marchers to do the same.”
"What are you going to paint
I them with?”
"Shoe dressing. It's the simplest
I easiest and most harmless thing to
I apply and will disguise the absence
I of tocklngs splendidly.”
TO LECTURE ON DEATH
Ernest D. Sexton's Subject Will Bo
“Beyond th© Grave What?”
"Can we communicate with our
deceased friends?” "Did Christ
really die?” and “Is Adam still liv-
ing?” are questions that will be an-

ciety's gold medal to the ambassa-
dor. the occasion being the first on
which this tribute has been paid to
any one not a citizen of Pennsylvania
or a citizen ot the United States.
Nearlv a thousand members of the
society and their friends attended
the dinner. Ambassador Bryce made
reference to historic incidents at-
tending the adoption and enforce-
ment of the constitution. Reg-irding
the suggestion that members of the
president's cabinet be permitted to
sit in congress he said:
“Such a plan which is entirely
compatible with 'the constitution
would help congress to know hettir
what the departments are doing and
would reduce the disadvantages that
the disjunction of the legislative
from the executive involves. It would
also better secure responsibility to
the people as the ultimate source of
power."
Attorney General Wickersham de-
prec tied what he termed "a modern
school of political thought which
finds little in the constitution to
praise much to criticise and a great
deal to alter." _
