Show Suffrafig TlianksSivi and ,rt7o I biyWilburD-Nesbi- t i T WAS no spasmodic i lore affair, this of Illram Tut-tl- e and Lucy Finch. That It was no highly romantic affair you may Infer from the names of the principals. If I were drawing upon my Imagination and writing a real love story, one that would make the Justly celebrated affair of Paris and Helen seem like a business transaction in comparison, then their names de would be Hector Montmorency Beauvtlle and Imogene Terevershain. or something to that effect. Out this Is simply a little story caught ia real life Just such an affair as Is going on right under your nose and In your own town a, this moment. So If you prefer the rhetorical wooing cf Hector Montmorency de lieauvlllo and the no less rhapsodical counter-wooinof Imogene Tereversbani. dear reader, read no further. There were Hiram Tuttlo, Lucy Finch, a turkey and a suffrage question. Three of these were tangible In the beginning, although Hector and Lucy were a great deal older than the turkey at the start The suffrage question, I know. Is as old as the hills and bids fair to become aa everlasting. In due time the woman's suffrage propaganda reached Mtllvllle. Several prominent suffragists descended upon the town In an automobile, and made apeechea from that vehicle right In he middle of the public square of a Saturday afternoon. Ten years ago ail the women In Mlllvllle would have aid that those speakers were mannish, now they said they were exactly right Ten years ago all the men In illllvllle. bulwarked, behind their rhews of plug tobacco, would have denounced those Invaders as unwomanly and hare classed them with Dr. Wary Walker and Delva Lockwood. Now the men Just chuckled to themselves and said the women ought to Have the ballot If they could get It. While these women were speaking, Hiram Tuttle, having came down town to lay in his Sunday supply of bacon, ggs. coffee, flour and other bachelor imovender, found himself listening to them and right beside him stood Lucy Finch. Now, do not gather the notion that Hiram was a crabbed old tachelor nor that Lucy waa a old maid. Lucy waa more than SO but nowadays a woman who has passed 30 la Just beginning to be good Hiram wasn't crabbed at .looking. all; he was pleasant enough but the way he dressed himself waa enough to make any woman wish she had a chance to take hold of him and spruce dim op. It U all nonsense to aay that oman Is Impressed and Influenced by JL m even the men couldn't vote then. ' what authority is be on suffrage?" Naturally, this dispute could not be ended then and there. Hiram Tuttle found It necessary to stop at Lucy Finch's gate several mornings and bring up some new argument that had occurred to him, only to be effectually squelched by Lucy's wit and wisdom. And from that It became necessary for him to drop In of evenings once or twice a week to continue the discussion. And, propinquity and acquaintance each having their effect. It waa not long until he, with a man's foresight, saw that this debate could not be ended for years, so he proposed to Lucy. Now, when a man proposes to a woman he has his ears set for Just one word and that Is "Yes." Therefore Imagine Hiram Tuttle's 1 x-- mi (jlAPMAN 11 Jl J As the Told Him "No." surprise and astonishment when Lucy What attracts mim's appearance. tier tilne times out of ten Is the possibility of Improving his appearance.

The Indian could be dignified enough upon occasion, but even his uncareful self Indulgence more than the colonists' hospitable unbending was the sign of an unusual That mutual confidence confidence. and good understanding, to the continuance of which these days of thaksglvlng and feasting evidently contributed not a little, procured those necessary year of peace'and security which enabled the weakness of the to harden Into Illgrlm colony strength.
