Maude saysf "We are doing

we, with the minister in charge
of the Mission, made a great feast

The new head of the ' world
wide Salvation Army, General
Bramwell Booth, is now visiting
America. Interviewed in New
York the other day on woman
sufirage, he said: We believe
woman is blessed with gifts as
good as those of men. She has
met all demands made on her in
the Army as well as men. Gov
ernment these days is a question
of management care and diplo
macy, and there is no gainsaying
that women are equipped with
the qualities necessary for such
demands." The General's sis
ter, Commander Evangeline
Booth, also expressed herself as
in favor of woman suffrage.
'Great Slave Hunt' Pa. Romance No. 2.
An intimate picture of the coun
ties of Tioga, Bradford, Potter
and Lycoming, in the days of
1830, furnishes, the setting for
one of the best of the Sunday
North American's Pennsylvania
Romances. It is called, "The
Great Slave Hunt," and will ap
pear in the issue on March 1,
The story is one of great interest
and the telling of it is abundant
with excitement and humor.
Judge Samuel W. Morris, of
Wellsboro, an abolitionist, on the
bench, is the hero, and his effort
seconded by his fellow-townsmen
in tricking the slave owners in
to losing their runaway property
form the backbone of this fa
mous exploit. This period in our
history has furnished many fic
tion plots, but none has been
more interesting than this real
occurrence. It is history, but
not dry, prosaic history. It reads
like a short story, rich in attrac
tive detail and spicy with anec
dote. The hero and his pictur
esque supporters have not been
so long dead but that their dar
ing achievements are still the
subject for fireside tales. Now
comes the story of their great
achievement, the baflling of the
southern slave owners, in a form
which cannot but please those
who enjoy reading and being en
tertained at the same time. "The
Great Slave Hunt" is the second
of a remarkable series of Pennsy
lvania Romances which each
week present some one of the
state's best romances.
In order that you will not be
disappointed, order a copy of the
North American from your news
agent at once.
Be Patient.
The civil'zed world is undergo
ing a change. Old ideas are be
ing discarded for up-to-date sys
tems which accord with the need
of the hour. The masses are be
coming more enlightened and are
making it harder for demagogues
to rule for selfish interests. A
higher moral standard is deman
ded of both public and private in
dividuals of influence, The fight
for the retention of special privi
leges in business and the liquor
interest will be fierce. Both
sides will tell their story in the
strongest terms at their com
mand. Naturally there will be
converts to both; but right is
might and the old leaders who
will not bend to the demands of
the day must not, if they would
be consistent, complain if relega
ted to the rear. Poor old "Un
cle Joe" says he is mighty lone
some since being sent into pri
vate life after having spent fifty
years in Washington. He has on
y himself to blame. With his
experience he could have been a
brceful factor in the new order
of legislation had he not grown
so much "moss.". Be patient
great changes cannot take place
in-a day. Keep on improving
the old farm, making it attrac
tive for the boys who are to fol-
ow you. Help in the. legislative
halls by voting for clean men.
There's a good time coming; be
patient.

- Luther, Iowa, February 21,
Dear Editor: Allow me space
for just a few lines.
We are having Borne winter
now, Put not Dad; we have had
little snow, but no sledding.
The oldest men here say they
never saw such a nice winter.
When I read about the gay sled
ding parties in good old Fulton,
I cannot help wishing I was there
awhile to enjoy them.
But it is getting close tyspring
work, and we shall soon forget
about the sledding.
There is lots of moving around
here now. The station agent at
our little town of Luther said he
had orders for sixteen cars to
load next week from Wednesday
on to the first of the next I am
moving about 120 miles farther
north in this state. I expect to
load my. ear next Wednesday.
There will be six families moving
to within about ten or twelve
miles of one another up there.
They are all from Pennsylvania.
Except myself and brother, the
rest are from Newport Perry
county, Pa.
Well, as my letter is getting
lengthy, I will close. Please
send my News to Forest City,
Iowa, R. D. 3 instead of Luther.
