President Wilson Refuses Demands of Suffragettes Washington, D. C. - Five hundred members of the General Federation of Women’s clubs marched to the White House Wednesday and drew from Pres ident Wilson a final refusal to accede to the demands that he support the movement for a woman suffrage amendment to the Federal constitu tion. The President reiterated his state ment to previous delegations that his party had not embodied this question in its paltform, and then for the first time announced his personal conviction that the suffrage issue was one for settlement by the states and not by the Federal government. The women went away plainly dis appointed and chagrined, some of them talking of immediate action against the Democratic party. Headed by such leaders as Mrs. Ellis Logan, Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, Miss Rheta Chile Dorr and Miss Alice Paul, they had marched to the White House with bands playing and banners flying. They massed themselves in the historic east room, many carrying babies, who added their share to the unusual scene by cooing or crying accompaniments to the speeches. Once inside the White House, the women made no demonstrations and allowed their leader to do the talking. There was no applause as the Presi dent entered the east room, accom panied by Colonel Harts, his military aide, in full dress uniform. Mrs. Ellis Logan, president o f the District o f Columbia Federation o f Women’s clubs, told the President o f the adop tion of a suffragist resoultion at a re cent general convention of her organi zation in Chicago. She then intro duced Mrs. W iley and Mrs. Dorr. The later spoke of the strength of the suffrage movement and said that the situation has changed materially since the Baltimore convention. There was a short pause, and then President Wilson stepped forward and addressed his callers. Senators Clash in Hearing On Nicaraguan Treaty Washington, D. C.— Senators Root, of New York, and Smith, of Michigan, had a lively clash in the foreign rela tions committee Wednesday during the discussion of the Nicaraguan treaty, which some senators feared at one time might develop into a personal en counter. James Brown, New York banker, was testifying. According to senators who heard of the trouble, Senator Smith was ques tioning Mr. Brown about the payment several years ago o f alleged revolu tionary claimH amounting to more thun 21,000,000 pesos to Nicaraguans friendly to the administration o f Pres ident Arlolfo Diaz, and asked him if these payments were not a crime on the people of Nicaragua. Senator Root is said to have sug gested to the witness that he refuse to answer the question. This inter ruption led to a wordy interchange, in which Senator Smith was said to have declared that Mr. Root favored the proposed Nicaraguan treaty and an nounced that hereafter his remarks about the New York senator would be made publicly.

His lather had left him some valuable pat ents— wash-tubs, carpet-cleaners and other labor-saving devices— and the royalties from these were quite suf ficient to keep him pleasantly housed. His earnings (not inconsiderable, lor tourists fouud much to admire in both the picture« and the artist) he spent in gratifying his mild extrava gances. So there were no lines in his handsome, boyish, beardless face; and his eyes were unusually clear and happy. Perhaps once or twice, since his majority, he had returned to Amer ica to prove that ho was not an ex patriate, though certainly he was one, the only tie existing between him and Ills rative land being the bankers who regularly honored his drafts. And who shall condemn him for preferring Italy to the desolate center of New York state, where good servants and good weather are as rare as are flawless emerulds ? Half after three, on Wednesday aft- ernoon, Abbott stared moodily at the weuther-tarnished group by Dalou In the Luxembourg gardens— the T ri umph of Silenus. His gaze was de ceptive, for the rollicking old bibulous scoundrel had not stirred his critical sense nor Impressed the delicate films of thought. He w'as looking through the bronze, into the far-away things. Ho had arrived early that morning, all the way from Como, to find a thunder bolt driven in at his feet.

She had since vanished, van ished us completely as though she had taken wings and flown away. It was unreal. Sho had left the apartment in the Avenue de Wagram on Satur day afternoon, and nothing had been seen or heard of her since. At the last moment they had had to find a I substitute for her part in the Puccini | apera. The maid testified that her | mistress hnd gone on an errand of mercy. She had not mentioned where, I but she hud said that she would return ,n time to dress for dinner, which proved conclusively that something DUt of the ordinary had befallen her. The automobile that had carried her »way hnd not been her own, and the rhaufTeur was unknown. None of the directors at the opera had been noti fied of any change in the singer's plans. She hnd disappeared, and they s ere deeply concerned. Singers were generally erratic, full of sudden indls positions, unaccountable whims; but the Signorlna da Toscana w as one in j i thousand.

If the rest of the people of this town want to make fools of themselves, that's their business. Let 'em go ahead and do it, but you needn’t expect me to put a cent in this fund you're raisin'. What do I care how much the people of Greenville are goln’ to spend celebratin'? Let ’em spend a million if they can raise it. They'll only have that much less to spend for things that might do their town some good." “ But don’t you see," said Thomas Spurgeon, “ that we can’t afford to let Greenville get ahead of Paddington in this matter? Since the old-fashioned way of celebrating the Fourth has been done away with every town that amounts to anything has a general dis play which is for the benefit of every body. By stopping the sale of danger ous explosives and all that sort of thing we can have a day of comfort and safety; but we owe something to the youngsters, so we propose to have a fine' exhibition of fireworks in the evening. It will be in charge of men who know how to handle such things, and you can readily see that it will b j much bigger and more thrilling than it would be if everybody celebrated in his own way. Besides, there will be no chance for the boys to lose their fingers or have their eyes put out. The people of Greenville have been boasting that they beat our town in everything, and we want to show them for once that they can’t do it. Don’t you feel that you can afford to con tribute a couple of dollars?” “ No, I wouldn’t contribute a couple of cents for any such foolishness. I tell you it’s all poppycock.

I ’m glad the shootin’ has been stopped. I wish they’d stop everything— fireworks and all. Them'B my sentiments, and that's all I've got to say." It was on the following day that Jonathan Crabshaw’s wife received a letter from their son in the city. "Jonathan,” she said when he came In from the garden, “ William’s wife’s got to go to the hospital.” “ That’s Just like them city women,” he grumbled. "They’re always goin' to hospitals. If William had married a girl from the country he’d be a blamed sight better off than he is. Why ie he writin’ to us about her goin’ to the hospital, anyhow? I s’pose he's hard up and wants money, eh?” “ I ’m afraid your heart’s hardened, pa,” Mrs. Crahshaw replied. “ What’s the use feelin' so bitter? William's the only child we’ve got, and if his wife ain't our kind that’s no reason why we should treat him as if he was our worst enemy.

He wants to send little Henry saw g little boy who bad just «tapped inside. No little boy had ever entered there before. Jonathan Crabshaw’s garden was forbidden territory. Even his wife was afraid to go into it. The little boy stood for awhile, look ing at the “ hard” old man who was half leaning upon his hoe. “W ell," the old man asked, “ what do you want here?" “ I want to come in and help you,” the little boy replied. "Get ou t!” “ Are you my grandpa?" “ Your grandpa? What do you mean ?" “ I ’m Henry. Grandma told me you was out here all alone.” Jonathan Crabshaw dropped his hoe and began rubbing the dirt from his hands. “ How did you get here?” he asked. “I came all by myself on the train,” the little boy eaid. “ My papa put me in the car and grandma was waiting for me when I got here. My mamma is very sick.” 1 There was a big apple tree in one | corner of the garden, near the gate. Under it waB a seat which Jonathan Crabshaw had made for himself. He , went to it and sat down. “ Come here ” he said. The little boy went to him and j leaned upon his knee. The old man had a "hard” look, but in spite of that the little boy bore a strong resemblance to him. "So your name’s Henry, is it?” J “ Yes. And your name’s grandpa, isn't it I ” The “ hard” look eeemed to fade out of Jonathan Crabshaw’s face. “ Well,” he said with something that was almost a smile, “ that ain’t exactly my name, but you can call me It (T O B E C O N T IN U E D .) Man of Spirit. Few persons ever stop to consider, says the Journal of the American Med ical Association, that when they speak of "a man of spirit” they are really, however unwittingly, employ ing the language of the days of Claud ius Galen, a noted Roman physician, born A. D. 130. That the term is yet used is testimony that the old doc trine of spirits is not obsolete. Galen perhaps had a conception of nerve trunks as conductors of something— he called it spirits—to and from the brain and spinal cord. The natural spirits were that property which gave to blood the capacity of nourishing the tissues of the body. The vital spirits were acquired in the heart; and when at last the blood with its vital spirits went to the brain and experienced a sort of refinement for the last time, the animal spirits were separated from it and carried to the body by the nerve trunks. The animal spirits of Galen have become the nerve impulses of today. These are not electricity, but they produce it. and can be manifested by it. W ild D ee r Beg Food. Starving and exhausted chamois, stags and roe deer (chervreuils) are descending from their mountain fast nesses in the Canton of Grisons and the Swiss Tyrolese frontier Alps into the villages, practically begging for food and with all fear lost.

It's a wonder he feels like trustin' him with us. Here he is. nearly ten years old, and we ain't never seen him. And they named him after her pa, too, ] when, by rights, he ought to been I i named after me. Write back and tell ’em to keep him there. I don't want no boy around here— specially no city boy.” Mrs. Crabshaw looked at her hus band for a long time. He was gen erally considered a “ hard" man. Every body knew that he had plenty of money, but no one ever saw him spend any of It. His wife, who was growing feeble, was compelled to do her own housework and get along upon the barest necessities. He had driven his son away from home and then blamed him for not returning, humble and penitent. Most of hie time was spent j in his garden. It was the only thing he semed to care for.

Why doesn't grandma come out here with us?” “ I— I don’t know. Maybe we will have her come out here with us some time.” "Grandpa, do you know what?” “ No. What?” “ Day after tomorrow's the Fourth of July.” "Good gracious! Is It?” “ Yes. You have the Fourth of July here, don’t you?” “ Of course we do.” “ And fireworks?” "Fireworks? Um, yes, we have fire works here, too.” “ Goody! W e’ll have some, won’t we?” "Certainly. And your name’s Henry?” “ But that’s only part of it.” "Oh! What’s the rest of it?” “ My name ie Jonathan Henry Crab shaw.” A rough old hand was laid gently upon the little boy’s head. “ How would you like it if I called you Jonathan instead of Henry?” “ I ’d like it. That’s what papa al ways calls me when I do anything that makes him glad.” Jonathan Crabshaw's contribution to the celebration fund made it possible for Paddington to “ put it all over” Greenville In the matter of Fourth of July fireworks. When the old man and his wife and their little boy got home after witnessing the splendid display Mr. Crabshaw eaid: "Mother, I never really knew before what the Fourth of July was for. Ain’t it been a glorious day all around?" Then he kissed the little boy and after that he put an arm around his wife and kissed her and said: “ I'm mighty glad Mary’s out of dan ger. As soon as she's well enough to get around again I guess we better go up there and see about buyln’ ’em a hou6e. Little Jonathan ought to have a nice yard to play in. and I can show him how to start a garden of his own.” THE FLAG. Let It idly droop or sway To the wind's light will: Furl Its stars, or float In day; Flutter, or be still! It has held Its colors bright. Through the war-smoke dun; Spotless emblem of the Right, Whence success was won. I-e- it droop In graceful rest For a passing hour— Glory's banner. last and best; Freedom’s freshest flower! Each ted stripe has blazoned forth Gospels writ in blood; Every star has sung the birth Of some deathless good. Let It droop, but not too long! On the eager wind Bid it wave to shame the wrong; To Inspire mankind "With a larger human love; With a truth as true As the heaven that broods abov« Its deep field of blue. In the gathering hosts of hops. In the march of man. Open for it place and scope. Bid It lead the van; Til! beneath the searching s k i«« Martvr-blood be found. Purer than our sacrifice. Crying from th« ground: Till a flag with some new light Out of Freedom's sky. K s thrr the gulfs of night. Holier blazonry. I-rt Its glow the darkness drown! Give our banner sway. Till its joyful stars go down. In undreamed-of day!
