Mrs. Pitzer Delegate to Demo
cratic National Convention.
J
MBS. A.NNIK HAMILTON PITZER.
Scores of men the most prominent po
Mtically In the nation will go to the
Democratic national convention to be
held in Baltimore June 25, enthusias
tically supporting the candidacy of
Champ Clark for the nomination for
president of the United States, but no
one of these men will be so enthusias
tic or cast his vote with such deep
feeling as Mrs. Annie Hamilton Pitzer
of Colorado Springs, sister-in-law of
the speaker and national delegate from
the Second congressional district of
Colorado.
Mrs. Pitzer, whose maiden name was
Anne Hamilton Bennett, is a native of
Missouri and lived in Columbia, Boone
county, for many years. Her husband
was a prominent lawyer in the state,
and after his death, about twenty years
ago, she and her daughter removed to
Colorado Springs, where they have
lived ever since.
While Mrs. Pitzer desired to go to the
Democratic national convention to vote
for her brother-in-law for presidential
nominee, she also has another purpose
a very strong desire to show the other
delegates from ail parts of the country
that women who vote and believe in
woman suffrage are neither masculine
nor monsters. And one need only look
at Mrs. Pitzer to know that she is nei
ther of these.
"If there is one thing 1 wish to do
more than anything else," says Mrs.
Pitzer, "It is to show to men who are
prominent in "national politics what
woman suffrage really is. 1 am a true
suffragette in every sense of the word,
and I am just as all the other suffra
gettes want to be, although owing to
interference they cannot always be so.
"Universal suffrage is coming sooner
or later," concluded Mrs. Pitzer, "and,
while I may not live to see it, 1 am
going to do my share toward securing
it, and I consider whatever 1 may be
able to do in Baltimore as one step
toward accomplishing what I have set
out to do."
Women's Sense of Humor.
In -an article on women writers as
humorists in the Woman's Home Com
panion Jeannette L. Gilder says:
"Some foolish person has said at
some time or other that women have
no sense of humor. Of course it was
a man who said this, for men don't
know women, though they think they
do. Women know women better, and
they know that the sense of humor is
very keenly developed in their own
sex. If it were not for this saving
sense women could not stand a great
many of the burdens that are put on
their shoulders. I have in mind a wo
man whose life was one tragedy after
another, but whose sense of humor
eaved her from despair. She would
probably have gone mad if she had not
been able to see the humorous side of
situations that in themselves were
anything but humorous. So wide- j
spread has this idea become that wo- j
men lack the sense of humor that a ;
great many people come to regard it :
as a truth, but 1 can soon prove, as
far as women writers are concerned at
least, that some of the most humorous
books published today are written by
women."
Via Wireless.
When the ship the President Lin
coln left New York recently two girls
on board decided to send a message to
their home by wireless. This is what
reached the puzzled family of the girls:
West 1U eat ' GRACE AND JULIA.
It looked formidable. There certain
ly was the word "ill," and the rest of
the message looked as though the ill
ness must be too serious for sane talk.
The wireless man was just ' about
ready to get busy with a frantic re
turn message for particulars of the
"illness" when a newspaper man in
the family solved the puzzle.
"I've read proof before this, and 1
think this copy needs a bit of correct
ing," be said as he drew a line straight
down the middle of "west" and joined
Its last two letters to "ilL"
The relieved family read then, "We
still eat," and knew that the girls bad
merely Intended to give reassurance
that seasickness bad not Interfered
with their happiness to date.
"If the Titanic messages were as
bad as that 1 don't see how wireless
helped much," commented the man.
Not Sentimental.
"Ah," a sentimental spinster said,
with a sigh, "are there any sweeter
words In the English language than 'I
love your " "Well," replied her bach
elor friend unsympathetically, "I pre
fer to hear 'Dinner Is ready ? "
Portraits.
"I don't think your portrait Is much
like the original, old man."
"Only once have I painted a portrait
that was really like my sitter, and she
sued me for libel afterward." Flle

An American View
Of the Code Duello
By JAMES D. WILLIAMSON
One traveling in Europe cannot but
notice how far behind us in America
they are in some things, while they are
far ahead of us in others. That in
which we are far in advance of them
is in having cast oft obsolete customs.
For instance, there is not nor has
there been for nearly a century such
a thing as the code duello in America.
In France and Germany especially a.
man's honor must to this day be de
fended by the spilling of blood.
Evan Gwynne was an American
through and through. He went abroad,
and while there it never occurred to
him when "in Rome to do as the
Romans do." In entering France with
his family, including bis wife and sev
eral little children, a custom house of
ficial made a seizure of his baby's milk
bottle. Evan swung his powerful arm,
and the man dropped. This caused the
American great delay and trouble, but
the next time any one interfered vc'.h
him or those under his care he ac.ed
exactly in the same way. Refusing to
pay the extortionate demands of a por
ter, the fellow seized a satchel. He
measured his length on the floor and
dropped the bag.
One day Evan took his wife out to
Versailles oh an omnibus. A man sat
in front of the couple smoking a bad
cigar. Evan asked him In a mixture
of French and English not to puff
tobacco smoke in Mrs. Gwynne's face.
The man looked at him superciliously
and continued to smoke. Evan reached
forward, seized the cigar, pulled it
from between the Frenchman's lips
and threw it down into the street.
No greater insult could have been of
fered any European. The man glared
at Evan, then pulled a card out of his
pocket and handed it to him. Evan,
not understanding that this was a chal
lenge to mortal combat, whipped out
his own card, wrote the name of his
hotel on it and handed it to the out
raged smoker.
Mr. and Mrs. Gwynne enjoyed Ver
sailles and returned to Paris, having
almost forgotten the altercation. He
was smoking in the office of the hotel
when a man with a waxed mustache
and goatee stepped up to him and
asked in English if he was M. Gwynne.
He replied that he was.
"I have come," said the other, "to
arrange the matter with M. de
Fourche."
"Who is M. de Fourche?" asked
Evan.
"Have you not his card? He said he
gave it to you on the omnibus this
morning."
"Oh, that fellow! Well, what about
It?"
"He wishes to know the place of
meeting and the weapons you select."
A ray of light began to permeate
Evan's skull. He was challenged to
tight a duel.
"Tell Mr. de Fourche," he said, "that
our place of meeting will be wherever
he happens to find me and the weap
ons fists."
"But, monsieur," protested the other,
apparently much embarrassed at the
American's ignorance of foreign cus
toms, "there must be a place the Bois
de Boulogne is customary for ze meet
ing, and there must be weapons ze
pistol, ze sword, ze foil."
"That's the European custom. We
use our fists entirely in America."
"Zefist! Zat is brutal."
"Well, Mr. de Fourche doesn't have to
fight If he doesn't want to, but that's
the only way I'll do it. Do you suppose
an American can be roped into one of
these little absurdities you have over
here? Not much. No thimbleful of
blood for me. When I land my knuck
les on a man's nose I bring out a pint
of claret at least."
"But, monsieur, consider. A gentle
man can't fight like a pugilist."
"He doesn't have to fight at all if he
doesn't want to."
"Come, come, monsieur; I demand ze
place of meeting and ze weapons.!'
"Well, you can just take it out In
demanding. You can tell Mr. de
Fourche that I'll be In Paris for a few
days yet, and if he wants to see me
about anything he'll usually find me
here up to 10 o'clock in the morning."
"Then you refuse to grant my friend
satisfaction?"
"You tell him that If he wants satis
faction to come and take it."
"M. de Fourche will publish you as a
coward."
"I wouldn't mind a little thing like
that. I once ran for a political office
at home and was called every name
from a jackass to a jailbird."
"You have no pride? You care noth
ing what the world thinks of you?"
"I reckon the world Isn't troubling
itself much about an ordinary indi
vidual like myself. Your world over
here is running after nobles, princes
and kings. They haven't time to think
about any one else."
"I go to report to my friend zat ze
Americans have no honor to defend.
Zey are like ze pig. He cannot get
satisfaction from you without coming
into this hotel to make a scene."
"I'll tell you What you. do. Say to
Mr. de Fourche that I'll be at the foun
tain in the garden of the Tuileries ?t
S o'clock tomorrow morning. Thefe'll
be no one about at that hour, and I'll
give him the goldarnest thrashing he
ever had in his life. You tell him that,
will you?"
The next morning Evan kept the ap
pointment, but his enemy did not. The
Frenchman was used to the prick of
steel, but there was something over
awing in an iron fist backed by an
angry man.

LONG FLIGHT MADE
BYU.S.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 29.
"America will be represented in the
international balloon race in Germany
this Fall by the bags Uncle Sam, Kan
sas II and Drifter," said George M.
Myers, president of the Kansas' City
Aero Club, when informed that the
Uncle Sam had landed today at Ma
nassas, Va., 925 miles from Kansas
City.
The Uncle Sam, Captain H. E. H6n
eywell, pilot, and Roy Donaldson, aide
which left Kansas City Saturday after
noon, one of seven ballons in the el
imination contest landed about a mile
from Manassas. The Uncle Sam car
ried 44 sacks of ballast, more than
any other contestant. Her experienc
ed pilot was prepared for a long sail.
Driven to earth by a storm, the bal
loon, Million Population Club I, of St
Louis, pilot, Captain John Berry; aide
Albert Von Hoffman landed near Nora
111., about 350 miles from Kansas City
at 3:45 a. m. Sunday, according to a
telegram from Captain Berry, receiv
ed here this morning. Of the land
ings reported early today that of the
Kansas City II, also a Kansas City
Aero Club entry, at Belleville, Mich.,
then snowed the greatest distance
640 miles from the starting point.
Captain Berry's telgram received at
the Kansas City Aero Club gave no
details. His delay In reporting was
attributed by club officials to the pos
sibilty of his having landed in an out
of the way spot difficult of access to
a ' telegraphic office. The message
said the landing had been made in
Waddams Grove, near Nora.
. The First Knitting Machine.
Historic mention of hand knitting is
first found in the books of the time of
Queen Elizabeth, though it is known
that it was one of the arts of the Pom
peians. The first machine for knit
ting was the invention of William Lee,
who made application for a patent in
England In 1589. On being refused a
patent by the English authorities he
departed for France and soon after
ward set up a large factory at Rouen.
The Lee machine, which remained the
same as it was 200 years before, was
introduced in the colonies during the
Revolutionary war A sharp Yankee
improved on it anil set up the first
United States stocking factory at Co
hoes. N. X.. in 1S32.
Good One Way.
For many years a man named Dut
ton was a popular conductor between
Duluth and Two Harbors. A woman
from Duluth purchased a ticket, a re
turn ticket to Two Harbors, and then
concluded to return by boat. Some
months later she wished again to visit
Two Harbors and presented the re
maining half of her former ticket. Mr.
Dutton looked at it for a full minute,
then said, "1 think , this ticket is good
for one transportation, madam, but you
will have to ride backward." Chicago
Tribune.
Conversational.
Two of the churches in Wellington
are located close together, and recent
ly while some one was passing be
tween the two churches on prayer
meeting night he heard this spirited
dialogue In song:
The congregation of one church was
singing, "Will there be any stars, any
stars. In my crown "when at evening
the sun goeth down?"
And the congregation of the other
church, apparently answering the ques
tion, was singing "No, not one; no,
not one." Kansas City Star.
Luminous Seas.
The sea is often luminous on summer
nights because the phosphoric acid
contained in decaying jellyfish, being
deprived of oxygen. Is converted Into
phosphorrs. This unites with the oxy
gen of the air and becomes luminous.

MEXICAN REBELS TO
KILL AMERICANS
EL PASO, Tex., July 29. Louis La
cha, a Mormon from Dublan, who ar
rived here with his family last night,
said today: -
"General Salazar told us at Casas
Grandes that if intervention did not
come from the Americans within the
next few days, the rebels will begiff
to kill every American they find and
keep up the massacre until America
was forced to cross the border. Sal
azar said it was the direct order of
Orozfio.'
The correspondent of the Et Paso
Herald wired a statement here" today
declaring that Salkzar, second HI com
mand of the Mexican rebel arnTy, Had
made several addresses Sunday, in
which he asserted that" all Americans
in the rebel zone were to.be disarmed
and all protection guaranteed for Am
erican citizens witMrawn.
Salazar said that inasmuch ts the
American Government had treated the
rebels as bandits they may as" well act
as such.
Salazar declared that "Americans
have no business in Mexico) and the
sooner they get out the better, i don't
care whether American intervention
comes or not. If our seizure of Amer
ican arms and ammunition leads to
American intervention, then I will wel
come it. I am going to'13S!ze the arms
and ammunition of Americans the
same as those of Mexicans.
"Look, Mexicans, at the hovels you
live in," he said, pointing to the mud
huts in the Mexican part of Pearson,
where he was making the speech;
"then look how your American bosses
live in affluence. The President of the
United States bows o'bediently to the
wishes of the weak Maflero fil all mat
ters tending to oppress the Mexican
people.
"If the Americans Have" made a fail
ure of their own Government at home,
as they have, it is, better thSn, we
should not have them here with us.
They get good wages and the Mexi
cans nothing.
"The Americans come here to ex
ploit Mexico, and the sooner the ex
ploitation stops the better."
Salazar has heen considered second
in command of the rebel army. He
is now considered the "rebel head of
the army, since Orozco remains in
Juarez.

TRUCK GARDENING
(OREGON CITY PUBLICITY)
No phase of agriculture is develop
ing more rapidly in Clackamas Coun
ty than market gardening, and at no
time has this work received greater
support Our population is increasing
so rapidly that the demand for vege
tables exceed the supply. Many gar
deners are specializing along certain
lines of vegetables, which they have
brought to a high point of develop
ment, producing a product the mar
ket is ever ready to buy. We wish
to quote Mr. A. R. Cummings, of Can
bzy, who grows four acres of rhubarb,
four acres as asparagus, two acres in
melons and a good size field of sweet
corn, all of these are money crops.
The rhubarb stands four to five feet
high, producing an enormous crop.The
asparagus is the first vegetable crop
that receives ready sale at a good fig
ure, asparagus is easily grown and har
vested, and more acreage should be
planted. No garden, whether for the
home or market, is complete without
an asparagus bed. The plant adopts
itself to any fairly good soil and cli
mate, but - thrives best In a -sandy
loam, the better the soil the better

How to lay out an asparagus bed.
Mark the rows preferably North and
South, Four feet apart, the plow go
ing up and down the furrow at least
twice, digging the trench six to eight
inches deep. Then stretch a line down
the furrow, and set the plait every
twenty to twenty-foul inches in the
row, spread the roots out carefully,
covering them three to four inches.Af
ter the shoots appear more soil may
be added. Do not cut the asparagus
the first year, very little, if any, the
second year. The third year begin
cutting and as the plant grows old
er the season for cutting may be
lengthened. Early in the fall, after
the first rains, the a.snaraenis Khniilrl
be cultivated, that is to destroy all
,. .
ccua Liiau usually come up alter
the first fall rains, by so doing you
will save a great deal of work In the
spring ,and the soil will be nice and
loose. Asparagus is a great feeder
and needs some fertilizer to produce
those big shoots. Corn and melons
are a good paying crop and there is
always a ready market for these, and
it pays to grow them.
