Minna Irving, In Leslie's Weekly.
Miss Pnitllne narrow was so much n
favorite with evoiy one thit she wai
always referred to os "Pauly." Hut
he could tell the exact moment thnt
he decided to become a suffragette
She had gone to sleep thinking of u
certain young ninn named Claude Tal
bot, and the promlso she had given
111 m an evening or two previous, am!
aa she was losing consciousness she
felt thnt the world was all right and
that it was a good place to live in.
When Miss Pauline awoke with a
Biiddcn start It was exactly one hln
lite and fifty-five seconds after 1
o'clock In the morning. The clock
was right there In front of her and
there could be no mistake. It was a
clock on which she could depend. Sh
awoke to realize that among the thous
ands or more wrong things In this old
world was the fact that women were
denied the ballot. She had heard and
read something of this before, but had
had no interest in the subject. Now It
came upon her with overpowering
force. It was almost a peisoral mat
ter that she should start out and se
cure nil amendment to ine eonrtitutlo'i
without unnecessary doby. Her moth
r, her grandmother, her preat grand
mother and several great-grandmot li
ars beyond thnt had been held' In
bondage like slaves, . She was being
held now. Man had riven the chains
n her and was adding new padlocks.
Revolution must come, and revolution
should come.
Having decided this point, the young
lady fell back on her pillow and slept
again.
Next morning there was an an
pouncement at the 'breakfast tnble cal
culated to shake the earth for mile3
around. It was: ,
"Papa and mamma, I have decided
to become a suffragette!"
1 "Yes?" replied the father, who wis
a college professor and was doing a
lum In mental arithmetic.
"Yes?" replied the ' mother, with the
ame Interest as If Pauly had declared
he was going back to rag dolls and
playhouses. The earth had refused 1 1
lhake. Some girls would have been
ilsrouraged and let the tyrant man go
right along casting all the ballots and
doing all the betting, but Pauly was
only upset for a moment.
As soon as breakfast was finished
it-e went over to see Mrs. Dashford.
Mrs. Dashford was known as th a
ti'ong woman of the town strong In
hr opinions on the suffrage question.
She advocate cold poison, the ax and
the shotgun If necessary to secure wo
man's rights. It was to be expected
that she would give the new recruit a
Warm welcome, but she disappointed
tier caller.
"My dear, you are only a young and
frivolous thing" she announced, "and
It will be altogether better for you to
let wiser heads handle this matter.
Man Is not afraid of you. Neither are
you qualified for office in case we get
the ballot You can contribute to
ward our expenses and let It be known
that you sympathize, but it is a wo
man's battle."
That was another shock, but It did
not bring despair wltn It. Miss Pauly
remembered that her grandfather on
her mother's side fell at Lexington,
and that she must be worthy of the
sacrifice. She contributed $5 and went
home to read up on tyrants and their
victims, and Incidentally to think over
What she must announce to Mr. Talbot
that evening. He would argue, but
she would be firm. If women had been
firm in the first place man would now
be washing the dishes instead of mak
ing laws. Perhaps she was too young
and frivolous to take an august sena
tor by the throat and threaten him
with a dagger, but she could sacrifice
" and she could be firm.
Evening came, and punctually at 8
o'clock Mr. Talbot rang the bell. lie
was not long kept in suspense aftei
admission. He was only seated when
the announcement was made:
"Claude, I have become a suffrag
ette!" "Instead of having the measles," he
laughed.
"I shall attend all meetings, write
for the papers and learn how to make
speeches for the cause. This bondage
jnuBt end."
Mr. Talbot grinned, laughed, argued
and ridiculed, but he found Miss Pauly
firm. Then it was with very serious
face he asked:
"Does-this stand that you have tak
en mean that we are not to be mar
fled?"
, "Not unless you can assure me thai,
your whole heart is in the cause, -and
thit from now on, until enslaved worn
an Is sef'free, you will devote your
Cm to It"
"Pauly, you have lost your head."
Pauline, The
Suffragette.
"Thousands of women are making
sacrifices and why shouldn't 1?"
Mr. Claude Talbot was a level
headed young man and had a bit of
philosophy In his make-up. He didn't
rear around and tear his hair and rusU
out of doors, but decided to pay out
on the rope and see what would come
of it.
Next day Miss Pauly called to see
Mrs. Havens. Mrs. Havens was tall
and strong and muscular. She bad the
voice of a man, and when that voice
got to relating the bondage of her
sex the grocer's boy at the back door
shivered in his shoes. He thought she
bad found a shortage in the weight of
the butter. She had an apathetic
welcome for the recruit.
"You cannot hope to distinguish
yourself," she said. "I have some
printed arguments it will be well for
you to real, and when you use them
In talking to others please mention
that they are my arguments. Did you
wish to leave a cash donation for the
great cause?'1
And Pauly made a call on Mr9
Washington Clem. A few weeks prev
iously Mrs. Clem had inarched to the
polls on election day and offered her
ballot. When the Inspectors had re
fused It she had drawn herself up and
said:
"The downfall or man In the United
States dates from this hour! It may
take years to do It, but the time Is
coming when we shall have our feet
on your necks. And then, you shall
squirm and s-q-u-l-r-m!"
Miss Pauly stated her convictions
anent the burning question, and added
that she bad made up her mind to
write some startling articles for the
press at large. She didn't believe she
was equal to a speech yet, but she did
believe she could give the cause a big
boost with her pen. What did Mrs.
Clem think of the idea, and would it
make any difference In this case if
both sides of the paper were wrftton
on?
"it is well you come to me" my
denr," was the reply. "I am writing
on this sacred subject for the press,
and I don't care to have things mixed
up. You will not understand the sub
ject for years and years to be qualified
to write about It. We want your sym
pathy and will be glad of cash con
tributions, but you had best leave the
rest In abler hands."
The next call, two days later, was
on Mrs. Abel Cllnklngton. It used to
be just Clinck, but after the outbreak
of the great revolution for rights the
rest was added on. Miss Pauly was
fortunate. There was a meeting there
that day at which all the stern,
strong', determined women were pres
ent to discuss matters. They did more.
Mrs. Clem announced that as soon a3
the eex got the ballot she proposed to
run for mayor of the town.
Mrs. Dashford would not stop there.
She wanted to be governor, and she
felt sure that her popularity would
carry her there.
Mrs. Havens expected to be minis
ter to St. James, and she lost her tem
per when someone doubted that she
was a diplomat. When It came to
the presidency there were n dozen
claimants, and after hearing them tell
of each others' unfitness for the posi
tion Miss Pauly made a sneak for
home. It was exactly one minute to 5
o'clock when she sto.nl In the door of
the sitting-room and announced:
"Mamma, I am no suffragette!"
"No?" wa3 the careless reply.
It was just two minutes after 6
when the girl got the central over the
wire and telephoned to Mr. Talbot:
"Young man, what's the matter
with you?"
"Oh, I've been busy."
"Well, come up here this evening or
that marriage will never come off!
I've changed my mind, and am now In
favor of tyrant man!" New Haven

GH08T3 IN COUNTRY HOUSE.
Two Seen In One Evening at 8lr
George Stllwell's Place.
Two ghosts have been seen in one
evening at Reniuhaw, the residence of
Sir George Sltwell, near Chesterfield.
Renishaw Is an old house dating from
1(125, and more than one ghostly legend
is associated with it
Sir George, who formerly sat in
Parliament for Scarborough, is a great
antiquary and a good sportsman. Ha
was Instrumental in capturing a "spir
it' at the London headquarters for
the Spiritualists in 1880. Lady Ida
Sltwell is the sister of the present Earl
of Londesborough.
Sir George Sltwell's story appears
in The Dally Mall as follows:
Iast Saturday two ghosts were seen
at Renlhraw. Lady Ida had been to
Scarborough to attend the Lifeboat
Bali, at which she sat up until 4 o'clock
in the morning, and bad returned
home that afternoon. After dinner
the party of six I was absent for a
few hours sat in a drawing room
room upstairs. Lady Ida on a sofa
facing the open door.
Looking up after speaking to a
friend on her loft, she saw in the
passage outside the figure of a woman,
apparently a servant, with gray hair
and white cap, the upper part of the
dress blue, the skirt dark. The arms
were at full length and the hands
clasped. The figure moved with a
very slow, furtive, gliding motion,
as if wishing to escape notice, straight
toward the head ot the old staircase
which I removed twenty years ago.
Lady Ida called out, "Who's tbatT
Who's that?" then the name of ths
housekeeper; then to those who were
nearest the door, "Run out and see
who it is; run out at once." Two
rushed out, but no one was there. Ths
others joined them, and searched the
halt and passages upstairs.
As they were coming down, one of
the party, Miss It., who was a little
away from the rest, exclaimed: "I do
believe that's the ghost." There, in
the full llglit ot the archway below,
within twenty feet of her, Just where
the door of the old ghost room used
to sfand until I removed it to put the
present staircase In its place, she saw
tho figure of a lady with dark hair
and dress, lost In painful thought
and oblivious of everything about her.
The dress was fuller than the modern
fashion, the figure, though opaque, cast
uo shadow. It moved with a curious
gliding motion Into the darkness and
melted away, at or within a yard of
the spot where a doorway, now walled
up, led from the staircase to the hall.
There is no doubt that these figures
were actually seen as described. They
were not ghoBts but phantoms re
versed impressions of something seen
in the past, and now projected from an
overtired and an excited brain. In
both cases the curious gliding move
ment, the absence of shadow, the abso
lute stillness of the figures, which
moved neither hand nor head and
hardly seemed to breathe, point to that
conclusion. Such an experience goes
far toward solving the ghost prob
lem. Ghost are sometimes met with,
but they are not ghosts. Pall Mall
Gazette.
Not Entirely Undisputed.
The case before the court was one
involving the ownership of a tract of
land, and the attorney for one of the
parties to the suit was cross-examining
a witness. "Now, Mr. Grtmshaw,"
he said, "the property on which you
live wih originally a part, of the twen
ty nnros in. dispute, was It not?"
"Yes, sir." , MT
"..u .,-.ir tltlo is based on the or
iginal title to that land, I presume?"
"Yes, sir.'
"How long have you resided there?"
"Over twenty-one years."
"Have you had now, mark me
have you had twenty-one years' un
disputed possession of the property?"
The witness hesitated a moment
"Remember, Mr. Grimshaw," said
the lawyer, raising his voice, "that
you are under oath. Have you had
twenty-one years' undisputed posses
sion of that property?"
"It has been disputed once, and
only once," answered the witness. "I
found a neat of bumble-bees in my
back yard one day last summer."
In the general laugh that followed
thle answer the lawyer subsided.

A Happy Hoi Way.
Miss Edna May, at a dinner In New
York, urged the ladles about her nev
er to give their husbands Christmas
presents of wine, cigars or cigarettes.
"We know nothing - about these
things," she said. "The fact was
brought home to me at a luncheon at
the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz.
"In the dining room of this superb
hotel, with the enormpus foreakers
against the stone foundations of the
terrace, a young marquis said to me:
" 'Last Christmas was the happiest
of my life.'
" 'How was that?" I asked.
" 'A thief broke into . my town
house,' he said, 'and stole the case of
1000 cigarettes that my wife had given
me.'" Washington Star.
Permanently Cured.
Dr. David Starr Jordan, discussing
at a dinner in Washington certain
ruling of the International fisheries
commission, eald:
"The fish there get no chance. They
have as hard a time of it as the
whites in the interior of China.
"A Chinese druggist said to his
clerk:
" 'Didn't I see a foreign devlj come
out of here as I came down, the street?'
" Tea, sir the clerk answered. 'Re

Postoffice Robbers.
The postoffice robbers are losing
their fierceness. A gang of them fled
out of Southbrldge when one pol'ce
man rushed up and fired. A watch
man with only one arm scared another
gang out of a town toward the West
a few days ago. There is hope in
these two latest demonstrations that
the burglars may never get back their
nerve. But there Is no prospect that
they will ever cease their activity.

Oldest Ginkgo Leaf In Captivity.
Thirty feet beneath the surface of
a newly built railroad in Spokane,
Wash., a ginkgo leaf was found last
spring, its age being estimated at
100,000 years. "It bears a message
of more certainty than those carved
In tablets of stone," writes Fred Nle
derhauser, in Harper's Weekly. This
discovery tends to substitute the theo
dy that the coast section has been
formed by successive unheavals of the
great sea dyke which has now devel
oped into the system of the Rocky
Mountains. So violent were the up
thrusts that in the process the beds
of the Inland lakes or arms of the
sea were turned into rock. The clay
was changed to slate, the sandstone to
quartzite, the limestone to marble."
Delicate Mechanism of the Ear.
Wonderful as are the functions of
the eye the ear appears to be a yet
more marvelous instrument. People
with good hearing do not appreciate
the Inexplicable delicacy of the little
instrument that nature has Implanted
on each side of their heads. But ana
tomists appreciate without being able
to understand it. There is hardly
any trouble with the eye that they can
not adjust, but not so with the ear.
When its fairy mechanism Is jangled
aud out of tune, it is often Impossible
to restore its functions. It is the
greatest mystery of the human organ
