A WOMAN'S Dl'TY
To woman in this new country
ha* li en given the right to vote.
It b<'cn the repeated history of
t very election, that uo-.v,
th t .. e has been given that pow
er; il is a life sued job to
her to exercise that power. Power,
mu.scle of the human body,
. lercixd or it decays and
1 its force. There are at least
m ■:.!.}■ five qualified womau voters
,u Sk.'gw. Very few have shown
their intention to vote in the com
ing election. it must be plain to
wcn.ai that she occupies just as
:ii a place in the framing of
city affairs as lite man. She is
the i>o:::e maker. The kiud of a
.vli s!:e makes, depends
•• cu the kind of a city and
touurr siic is forced to live In. If
e'li'ilren certainly she de
sii- it e theju in a cleau, whole

Opportunity ct I". S.
A Lt opportunity confronts the
western world. It did not produce
thic opportunity, it was made by
the «cuilajrration in Eirrope, by
i. iu-trial convulsion brought
about t'le war and although we
m :y hnve every sympathy for the
cquntrifs at war we may net over
look our own commercial advance
mesit :a tae present time.
Xcw, if ever, in the time that
' North aud South America can be
| drawn together in bonds that will
1 make for peace aud commercial ad
vancement aud tiiep Teeent move in
sending these representatlv men to
confer upon ways and means is in
the right direction. Much good
will ultimately come of this trip.
What is at present In hand re
| latcs to devising means. Banking
I facilities must be provided. A mer
I chant marine ia essential. A study
of markets is indispensable. What
North America can supply South
America and and South. America.
North America, cannot bo guessed,
but must be ascertained by thor
ough inquiry and it is along these
lines that Secretary McAdoo aud
party will undoubtedly work.

After Up had suinshod a Hussion
army and overrun a province Napoleon
collected the tnotijil;* and told them
that henceforth they belonged io him
and Prance. They glared at htm and
gave litui the lie. Be shot some of
them, but the rest were adamant.
Then he bad one rnOujlk branded on
the left arm with the letter N. "Now,"
he said, "you belong to me." The
uioujik llfte 1 to the conqueror's face
his bloodshot eyes uuder his shaggy
mane of hair, and then, seizing a
hatchet, lopped oil* the left arm and let
the bleeding limb fall at Napoleon's
feet. "That Is yours," lie growled,
"but the rest of my body and my heart
belong to holy Russia and the ozar!"
And from that hour Napoleon realized
what he was up against.—New York
