Wiley, Jr., son of the former chief chemist, and being early educated in equal suf frage by his parents, to Miss H. M. Young, the eighty-seven-year-old pioneer in the equal rights move ment. It was the overwhelming culmina tion of a fifty-five-year battle for bal lots in the United States. It was both a protest against disinfranchisement and a vivid, dignified, elaborate de mand for equal rights at the polls. There were three distinct features to the demonstrationthe parade, a series of tableaux on the treasury de partment steps, and, tonight, a series of mass meetings. That today's demonstration was distinctly for and by women was the keynote forced home to all observers. The women evinced that theirs was no part in the inaugural ceremonies.

CARRIED A RUG FOR A MUFF But the Five-Foot Wolfskin Attracted No Especial Attention on the Streets of Boston. Miss Geraldine Bowman, a student at an eastern art school, recently proved that women can wear any thing and "get away with it." Misa Bowman did no more and no less than to parade through the shopping district with a five-foot fur floor rug rolled up into a muff and she failed to excite attention. The girl accom plished the feat on a dare and won. Some of the students at the school laid a wager that a woman could not carry a large floor rug through the streets of Boston and pass it off for one of the huge muffs now in vogue. Miss Bowman thought she could carry through such a stunt to a successful culmination and even pro posed starting the parade during the busy noon hour. So takind a five-foot wolfskin rug from the floor of her home, she gave It a whirl or two about her hands and with the head of the animal in full view, she carried it gracefully and soon was moving about in the throng of busy shoppers. Trailed by a half dozen doubting classmates Misa Bowman strolled unconcernedly through the downtown district and there was not the slightest indica tion that anyone mistrusted that the beautiful skin which closely resembles silver fox, was other than a genuine, fashionably made muff.

Country Caudle. Farmer Turmut had had a good day at market. His cattle had fetched good prices, and, feeling flush, he bought a nice piece of cloth to have made into a suit of clothes. But, alas! on his homeward way he lost it, a happening which annoyed Mrs. Turmut very much. Full of the grievance, she told the vicar about it next day, blaming her husband's carelessness for the loss. A week later the vicar met Tur mut. "Good morning, Mr, Turmut," said the good man. "Have you heard any thing about your cloth?" Turmut smiled sadly. "Yes," he said, solemnly and mourn fully, yet philosophically, "I have morning, noon and night!"

This bill provides that counties may be aided by the state to an amount equal to that spent for prem iums providing the amount is not in excess of $2,000. The Beltrami Coun ty Fair directors are waiting for final action on this bill before compiling their 1913 premium list.

You may have met some academic damsel or other who, in her zeal over Greek particles or the carbohydrates, has no conception of the difficulties of a cook or the tactful management of a parlor maid. But these disabilities are also found among the ignorant David Copperfleld's Dora was no scholar, and yet contrived to be a very Inefficient housekeeper. The practical wisdom of life is neither impaired nor conferred by higher education. Nor conferredthat la at the moment the important point. As a matter of Justice it is worth while to insist that the erudite woman Is just as likely as her dunce of a cousin to manage pri vate and domestic affairs with suc cess. But do not be deceived. She Is no more likely. The Right Church But The Wrong Minister By "HOP $ 4*wl VOTES ARE POURING IN Nearly 200 Added to Total for Fen ton Corner on Count at Noon TodayOthers Losing.

"De wust thing about arithmetic," said Uncle Eben, "is dat a whole lot o' folks gits de idea dat any kind o' figgerin' is all right if dey kin finish wif a number dat has a dollar mark to front of it."

Every few weeks the charcoal should be taken out, made very hot and re turned to the bag. HISTORIGWL t00(ETY.fi TEN CENTS PER WEEK, NAUGLE IN MIDST OF MEXICO FIGHT Y. M. C.

USED AS FORT BY REBELS Rooms were Looted and Young Men Lost All of Their Personal Be longings by Theft or Fire NO ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING Natives Felt Kindly Because of Way Wounded were TreatedMeat up to $3. Per Pound. Albert J. Naugle, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Naugle of this city had some harrowing experiences during the recent trouble in Mexico City. Mr. Naugle is employed there as chief clerk by L. Pearson and Son, English contractors. He roomed in the Y. M. C. A. and at the start of the trou ble was forced to flee the building. When his parents learned that the Y. M. C. A. had been fired upon, they immediately wired him and receiving no reply, wired Ambassador Wilson. On Feb. 18, they received word that he was safe in a suburb of Mexico City. Last week, Mrs. Naugle receiv ed the following letter which was written February 20. The cut on page 4 shows the Y. M. C. A. as it looked before it was fired on. "I surely had a time of it during the terrific battle pulled off here in the city. I am back to work this morning and find so much to do that I don't know where to start. Our, office was closed for ten days. We were not able to send cables until a cable office was established in the American embassy. It would take a book to tell of what we have been through. Y. M. C. A. Shot to Pieces. "The Y. M. C. A., in which Pringle (his roomate) and I lived, is simply shot to pieces. It was a six story building covering half a block and built of steel and concrete. It was unfortunate in being in the very con ter of the fighting being only one block from the Arsenal where Felix Diaz and his forces had their strong hold. "On the second day of fighting the Diaz soldiers drove us out and ran in their cannon, rapid fire guns and several hundred soldiers making the Y. M. C. A. a regular fort. Although I tried to get some of my personal be longings out of my room, I was un successful. All I have left in the world is just what I have on my back as when the Federals opened fire on the Y. M. C. A. half an hour after I left, they riddled it with shells, solid shot, rifle and machine gun balls. "Many of the rooms caught on fire. The soldiers stationed in the Y. M. C. A. looted it pretty well before the fight so al lthe boys, including Pringle lost everything they had. Pringle had been in Tampico for a couple of weeks and was lucky in having two suit cases full of clothes with him. Slept on the Floor. "The minute the trouble started, I went out to Brigg*s house, which is in the American colony about five minutes from the Y. M. C. A. by street car, and as he has two little babies, I knew he would need me. We stayed in his house two days until the fight ing got too near and then left it for another on the outskirts of town. Fin ally when the bullets came too thick, we escaped to Tacubaya, a suburb of Mexico City. We all slept on the floor for ten nights and nearly froze to death as it gets very cold here nights. "You could never believe the extent of the damage done here In the city beautiful buildings shot to pieces, etc. A conservative estimate on the number of dead is placed at between 1,500 and 2,000 but no one will ever know just how many. Several Americans were killed and wounded, some through exposing themselves from curiosity and others being caught in the line of fire. Of course their deaths were accidental. There is absolutely no non-American feel ing here. On the contrary, I know there is a very kindly feeling because of the way the Americans acted to wards the wounded Mexicans and those In distress.
