There Is an old Dutch town not a hundred miles from New York which up to a few years ago, when a but ton factory was located there, was very much In the condition of New York when that ctly was called New Amsterdam. They hare' a church there where . the congregation has beet used to listening to the same kind of preaching ever since the place was settled, and the same organist has discoursed the same kind of music for half a century. 'A hew minister was called to the church recently, but his call to the pastorate was followed by his being called down, for he shocked the con gregation by preaching socialism and woman's rights. He had been chosen on account of his name, which was Pounder, the congregation thinking that they would listen to the same pulpit hammering to which they had been so long accustomed. When they "fired" htm he took up his favorite causes, devoting himself to them ex clusively. Miss Katrlua Van Schoonerhoven, a member of this antiquated congre gation, one day lost her bearing so far as to permit the use of her domi cile for a suffragette meeting. From every side came protests that one of the old Dutch circle should lend her house for such a purpose. Miss Van Schoonerhoven explained, averring that she was not a suffragette herself and had lent her house for a purpose of which she did not even approve. In the midst of ber embarrassment there came a ring at the telephone. "Are you Miss Van Schoonerhoven?" was asked In a sonorous voice. "I am." "I am Dr. Pounder. I understand that a meeting of suffragettes recently took place at your house. I hope to make that meeting the beginning of a movement" "But, doctor, I lent my house only for a purpose In which I take no per sonal" "We are intending to make a stir In behalf of the suffragette movement and I am counting on your personal In fluence to" "I assure you that 1 am not myself a suffragette; that I" "I can't hear you. What we want is to stir up the town In the hope that we may carry the suffragette ticket at the next election and give the privtlepe to women that Is now left solely with men; that we may eradicate that clause In the national constitution which gives the franchise to all except women, Indians and Idiots" "I tell you I shall have nothing to do with your endeavor for the suffra gette course. 1 take no Interest In It. I don't approve of It." "Just so. I knew yon would be with us from the moment I beard that the meeting had taken place at your home. I am arranging for a big meeting to be held on the corner of Van der Deck er and Bltecker streets. Tour name will be announced In the newspapers as the principal speaker. I am sure your eloquence will win many Influen tial persons to our ranks." "Dr. Pounder, If yon dare announce my name In the newspapers a a speak er at your meetings I shall never freak to yon again." "l'ou say yon consent? 1 knew you would. We are going to have brass band in attendance; there will be crowds of women distributing suffra gette pamphlets and no end of enthu siasm. Too will be mounted on a soap box I haTe a box provided and po licemen will be on band to see that yon are not Jostled by the crowd." "Dr. Pounderr There will be fireworks" "Dr. Poonderr "in the evening." "Dr. Pounder, I wish yon to under stand that I will hare nothing to do with your meeting, and If yon Insist upon mixing me np with the affair I shall call upon my lawyer to get ont an injunction to prevent yon." "I will can for yon myself in a carriage at 7 o'clock and assist yon to the soap box. A limelight will be arranged la aa opposite window that will Illuminate your face while apeak Ing" : -- - - - - "L.. Pounder, If yon undertake to carry ont this program I shall I wish yon would go away from the tele phone. Too are driving me wild. If yon don't atop this persecution I will sbnt you off." Then earn ia an entirely different voice, a voice that Miss Tan Schooner hoven recognized at once as that of her friend Ned Poinderter. "Oh. Kit, you're real mean.' "Ned Polndexter, what hare yon been np to?" - 1 "After all my trouble getting np the meeting, hiring the band and procur ing the soap box for yon to apeak on. to aay nothing of the Bmellgbt, for yon to to back on me In this way to too awfully mean for anything." Ned Polndexter heard a vicious click knd found himself cut off. He Smiled a pleasing emlle, hung up the receiver and sanntered off to his club. The excitement attending the nse of Miss Van Schoonerhoven's house for a auffragetta meeting has worn away, and its effects are no longer ap parent, , except on two persons, the one the lady to question, the other Mr. Polndexter. He baa called lev oral times on Miss Van Schooner hoven, to be met with a short, crisp "Rot at home" from the lady's maid. CHRISTMAS SPECIALS Buy your Christmas Candles at Karrcs Itroa.

Al though he weighs 200 pounds, he is one of the fastest men of the season. The Tiger men will have a hard time of it filling his sboea next season. Ooteh Hands Out 8ome Advice. "Learn to bear the burdens of the nnder dog with good prace and fight your way to the top of the heap," was Frank Gotch's advice to voting men re cently In Winona. Minn. I happen to be one of those champions who were defeated," he continued.

I set out to win my bat tles, trying to be a gentleman erery inch of the way, and I extended my self to giro my friends and backers a good deal In erery bout. Erery young man should learn to fight By that 1 do not mean that he should be a pu gilist or a wrestler, tot I do mean that he should be able to fight out his own problems."
