By Thornton W. Burgess
The Gratefu'ness of Johnny Chuck
Fie grateful for a favor dove;
'Tis thus your truest friends arc won.
Johnny Chuck and Jimmy Skunk
watched Old Man Coyote trot away
across the Green Meadows and disap
; per.r among the bushes of the Old
: Pasture. Then Johnny Chuck gave a
i great sigh of relief. "Jimmy," said
he, "but for you 1 would be on my
i way up to the Old Pasture this very
! minute."
"What do you want to go up to the
| Old Pasture for?" demanded Jimmy
Skunk rather gruffly.
"I don't want to go up there,"
chuckled Johnny Chuck. "No, Jimmy,
I don't want to go up there. It's the
last place in the world I would think
of going. But I know very well that
but for you I would be on my way up
there now with Old Man Coyote. You
saved my life, Jimmy Skunk, and?and
! ?I wish I could do something for you."
' Johnny blurted this out rather hur
' riedly.
Jimmy Skunk's eyes twinkled. "That
was nothing to do for an old friend,1'
? said he. "All I had to do was to show
myself. Isn't it funny how quickly
some people can change their minds?
I never have ;>oen any one lose an ap
Chuck feels the same wav. We need
a chango. Now I've found a place dov*n
here that just suits me and I'm going
to work on that homo right away.
; When it is finished Polly Chuck and
I will move in and our old homo up
there m the far corner of Cftft^ Old
| Orchard will la- empty. 1 kno J?f no
i people Polly Chuck and I wbuhirSl like
', to have in that old home of ours equal
i to yourself and Mrs. ?Skunk. You've
| just saved my life. Now I want to give
! you my old home. I want, you to know
\ that I am really grateful."
"Pooh!" exclaimed Jimmy Skunk.
! "What I did was nothing at all. You
don't need to be grateful. However, if
you have really made up your mind
that you are going to leave that old
home, I will be very glad indeed to
have it. About when will it bo ready
for Mrs. Skunk and me to move in?"
"That depends on how scon I can
dig my new home," replied Johnny
Chuck. "There's one thing more I
wish vou would do for me, Jimmy
Skunk.""
"What's that?" asked Jimmy.
"1 wish you would stay around here
"What do yon want to go up to the Old Pasture for?" demanded Jirruniy
Skunk
petite quicker than Old Man Coyote
lost his."
Suddenly Jimmy became very severe.
"Johnny Chuck," said he, "I told you
that you shouldn't have left your home
in the far corner of the Old Orchard.
Now, you see, I was right. If it hadn't
been that I was here when Old Man
Coyote arrived that new home you are
so anxious for would have been right
inside Old Man Coyote by this time.
Now take my advice and get back home
as quick as you can und stay there.
Why, if I had a home like that I would
be perfectly hap?y. It's the finest
home I know of anywhere."
"Do you really think so?" inter?
rupted Johnny Chuck eagerly. "How
would you like to have it for your
own ?"
Jimmy Skunk turned to face Johnny
Chuck. "Now what idea have you in
that crazy head of yours?" ho de?
manded.
Johnny Chuck grinned. "Just this,
Jimmy Skunk," said he. "I've got to
have a new home. Something inside
me tells me than I can never be con?
tented until I have a n*w home. Polly
until I get my new home started," re?
plied Johnny wistfully. "Then I won't
have anything to worry about. If I
onee get it started, I won't be afraid
of anybody. If Reddy Fox or Old ?Man
Coyote should happen along and dis
! cover me at work they might make
; trouble for ma before 1 got my hole
| well started. 1JJ.it once let me get it
, well started us?t I will ha*??t nothing to
I fear from them. I can ?,i_r faster than
| they can. There is but one person
; who can beat me digging a hole."
I "Who is that?" asked Jimmy looking
? interested.
"Digger the Badg?ei'," replied Johnny
; Chuck. "He can beat me digging and
! I don't mind saying so. N'ow what do
? you say to staying around here a little
I while and when 1 have finished my new
I home taking my old one?"
"It's a bargain," replied Jimmy
j Skunk, who is lazy and never does any
more work than he has to.

Delaware May
Vote To-day
On Suffragej
Friends of the Amendment
Plan to Call It Up in
Senate and Its Enemies to
Seek Test in Assembly
Pleas Make No Converts
Mrs. Call Threatens That
the Connecticut Legisla?
ture Will Convoke Itself
From a Stuff Cnrresponde.nl
DOVER, Del., March 25.?The fate of
the suffrage amendment in the Dela?
ware Legislature is still in doubt to?
night after a day of hearings before a
joint session of the two houses.
The amendment may be called up in
the Senate to-morrow by its friends,
and in the Assembly its enemies are
watching for a chance to spring it upon
that body at an inopportune moment.
Minority Leader McNabb threatens to
call it up for a vote to-morrow, think?
ing it will be defeated.
As for the hearing to-day it was an
old-fashioned day of oratory, with
cheers from the rival sides and women
standing for hours packed in the corri?
dors, thankful to catch a few words
floating through the transom.
On the streets and in the state house
perfect strangers became friends with
no more introduction than a yellow
jonquil or a rose, colors of the pros and
antis, while in the hotel corridors the
same slight provocation led to long and
bitter arguments.
Mrs. Cut's Plea
Speakers for the suffrage side in
thu hearing stressed the national im?
portance of the issue. They told the
men of Delaware that the eyes of the
whole country were upon this little
state, which was the first to ratify
the Federal Constitution and was beinp
given the "honor" of ratifying the
woman suffrage amendment as the last
and decisive state.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presiden!
of the American Woman Suffrage As
sociation, declared the amendmem
would surely In* rat ?tied, no mattei
what action Delaware took.
"You Ci'ti no more stop the passage
of this amendment than you can maki
the sun stand still in the heavens,'
Mrs. Catt declared. "Thirty-five state;
have ratified. You have the chanci
to be the thirty-sixth. Will you tak<
it'.' If you don't, well then who'!
next? T believe Connecticut will bi
next. The Governor of Connecticut ii
an anti-suffragist. He refuses to ca!
a special session. Very well. I asl
you did you ever hear of a Legislature
calling itself? It has been done twici
in the last three years. It can h
done again.
Vote Nearly Precipitated
"At the very worst, the most tha
acin happen to this amendment in th
way of delay is to prevent the wome:
from voting until January, 1921, Whe:
hall' a dozen states will' be ready t
ratify in their regular sessions."
"You talk about justice to th
women who don't want to vote. I as
you if it is justice to rob the womei
of eighteen states of the right to vot
in the coming Presidential election?"
United States Senators McKollar o
Tennessee, a Democrat, and Spencei
of Missouri, Rej.^iblican, were th
speakers at the morning session of th
suffragists. Senator McKellar almos
precipitated a call for a vote, for whic
the enemies of suffrage have bee
eagerly waiting.
"Would you be offended,'' he nsked
"all of you who wish to discrimin?t
against the women of Delaware in.com
parison with the women of the regt c
the country?if 1 should ask you 1
stand up ?"
"No, we'd stand up gladly," shoute
McNabb.
"hi that a dare'." came back th
Senator.
"All right, ail of you? who think th
women of Delaware are less fitted t
vote than those of other state
stand up."
'Js this a voie?" cnied McNabb. Ir
stantly a half-dozen friends of su
frage were on their feet calling fc
order, and with the pounding of th
speaker's gavel the crisis passed.
It appeared to-night that the argi
men', about the certainty of? the amem
ment's eventual ratification had mat
the mi* impression upon the mine
of the legislators who apparently h:.
believed that in their hands, and thei:
alone, it-; 'fate lay. When they hem
from so many sources that it could n>
be killed, they began to think aboi
getting in the procession. There w;
no official announcement, however, i
any change o? heart. In answer to th
argument of the suffragists, the wor
th'* anti-suffragists could find to offi
was the threat made by Miss Chariot
Rowe that if women voted next fall tl
result of the election would be cha
lenged.
The State Democratic Committee m
this morning in the State House ai
reaffirmed its indorsement of the ral
?ication bill. This was the greatest p
litical train of the day, as a strong a
temtp had been made by Mr. MeN'al
to induce the Democrats to rescii
their support. Ja this he failed. Mi
George Pass, chairman of the Womer
National Democratic Committee, w
introduced to the cemmittee and ma*
a short speech. Suffragists were d
lighted to notice that after his eonfe
ence with. Mrs. Bass Mr. McNabb di
ci rled the red rose from his butto
hole.
"Got to obey the boss," he said, sm
ing. However, the Delaware Legisl
ture is overwhelmingly Republican ai
the suPfV'gisl.s to-?ight were busi
pointing c;:t to Republican membe
that theirs was the responsibility.
Answers Plea for Referendum
Mr.--. Henrv Ridglv, president of t
Delaware Equal Suffrage Associatic
answered the appeal of the anti-si
fagists for a state referendum by rea
ing a statement issued by the lawye
of the association thut the laws ?i t
state do ?ot permit ?i referendum

Mrs Ridgly also quoted Delawar
favorrte statesmen upon the questi
of a Legislator's obedience to his c(
stituents, which has worried so
members who believe their distri
are opposed to suffrage.
"A Representative owes to his c<
