If Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, of the American Federa tion of Labor, are criminals because they published .the fact that organized labor doe* not patronize the Bucks Stove ft Range Co., than Indeed we re almost a nation of criminals, and should be en joined along with the labor leaders. For haven't we been using the boycott on the beef trust in a way that would make the biggest trades union boycott look pale? Haven't fashionable woman's clubs publicly declared that they "don't patronize" the beef trust. Small capitalists and near millionaires who have been loudly proclaiming to trades unions for years their divine right to "run their own business" have en rolled In the vegetarian union. These "strikers" have denied themselves the Juicy porterhouse with the same spirit or sacri fice as devotees to a labor cause. Staid old newspapers have proclaimed the beef boycott in their columns. The boycott has been made respectable. It has "hurt business" for the trust even if it didn't solve the cost of living problem. But no big, wise judge enjoined the nice ladles' clubs to stop them from "hurting business." No editors of metropolitan dallies are going to Jail for declaring the beef trust "unfair" to the consumers' union. The people wouldn't stand for that. Shall we conclude that there Is one law in America for labor unions and editors of the American Federatlonist, and another for women's clubs and we more "respectable" editors?

He is trying to put a crimp In the gang of rocking chair admirals and politicians that has been milking the navy appropriations for years.

"All right; let's do It," pretty Flora Price smiled back at him. "Where Is the ponderous tome?" questioned Arthur, and when she had pointed out the volume to him he brought it to the big table and placed It directly under the student lamp. "Of course," suggested Arthur, "we don't have to begin at the beginning. We can start anywhere we want to." He flopped the book open. "Let's see," he continued, "what have we here? Ah, a shooting star—that's easy, and it certainly needs revision." Arthur wrote rapidly on a sheet of paper, and then passed the sheet over to the girl. " 'Shooting star,' " the girl read, "'a good excuse." A good excuse for what?" she queried. But her rosy cheeks belled her pretended ignorance. "I've got a great idea!" cried Arthur suddenly, after gazing at her admiringly for a few minutes. "We'll make this 'Love's Diction ary.' We'll revise the volume to suit lovers!" For a moment the girl appeared to be on the verge of saying something, but she thought better of the matter and remained silent. "Now what have we got next?" murmured Arthur, turning the "leaves of the dictionary rapidly. Presently he laughed gleefully i and wrote manfully for a few i moments. Again he passed the ; sheet over to the girl. "Read it i EXPLORE WORLD FOB NEW FOODS FOR AMER CAN STOMACHS .

Arthur shoved the book across the table to her. His heart beat furiously as he watched her rapid ly turn the leaves of the big book. She was so extremely pretty and he was so greatly in love with her and so afraid to tell her. Present ly she found the word she wished. Then she wrote pn the sheet of paper and handed the latter to Arthur. " 'Cowardice,' " Arthur read, ''what a young man shows when he makee his sweetheart show what you have Just defined as bravery.'

GOVERNOR'S WIFE A STRONG ANTI is. Thomas Marshall of Indiana Thinks Women Are Too Impuls ive to Vote and L;n k Foresight. SiKS. THOS. R. MARSHALL. (S|«-i i«l Corres|miuleiice.) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 14. —"Women hay« no business to vote or to hold political offices. Tier sphere lies In the home." This was the declaration of Mrs. Thos. R. Marshall, wife of the governor of Indiana, when asked LoJay her opinions on woman's suffrage. With characteristic frankness, Mrs. Marshall declared herself opposed to woman's suf frage in any form. j "Women are too impulsive to ■ have charge of the reins of the (government; they do not weigh jquestlons sufficiently, as men do, jand are too Ilk.-ly. to be guided by their sentiments rather than the equalities, or inequalities of a sit uation," she declared. "J do not believe in women's suffrage," she continued, "for the reason that I have always felt that men are more capable to take care of public affairs. If there Is any place at all where a woman's voice .should be heard, it Is in matters regarding the governing of the 'public schools; but still I am In clined to believe that men are Just as competent there as elsewhere." Mm. Marshall said she had held i these opinions for a long time, and she had based them on what she had observed of men as the direct ors of public affairs, and of what she knew of women with their Im pulses and their often unstudied action. An effort to secure the passage of a bill to give women the right to vote on school questions and school officers will be mad* by tha Indiana Federation of Wom en's Clubs before the next legis lature, and the women who hoped for Mrs. Marshall's Influence are considerably wrought up over her position.

They had brok en a doll, pulled kitty's tall, and even hit good dog Tinker with a stick. As a punishment their mamma sent them up to the attic for the afternoon. They didn't like this, so they slipped quietly down the stairs when no one was about and ran out to play in the meadow. The two culprits^athered dais ies till they grew tired. Then seeing a largo stone nearby they sat down to rest. But, strange to ■relate, no sooner were they seated on it than the stone —for it was a fairy stone —began to grow higher and higher right up into j the air. Betty and Bobby were itoo frightened to Jump, and it jgrew 'way up to the clouds so fast | that they had to hold on tight. The white, fleecy clouds were soon all about them, and there on top of one cloud was the dolly they had broken, and sitting beside her was the kitty whose tail they had pulled. "Meow," sakl the cat. "You hurt me and treated me unkindly. You .hurt the dolly, too, and you shall bo punished." Immediately the clouds were covered with many cats and dolls, each throwing something at the two naughty children, who dared not even move for fear they would fall off the stone. "Oh, please, cats and dolls, don't throw anything more at us. We CYNTHIA GRtYS CORRESPOHDOTTa Dear Miss Grey: Please give recipes for cookies and cinnamon cakes. Ml LUCENT.
