of the American Co operative Journal,
one of the greatest organizations of
th** co-operative movement published

Mrs Anderson was born in Topeka.
Kan., August 25, 1879. but moved to
Iowa at an early age. where she
has since resided. She is a graduate
of tlie Eagle Grove high school ami a
rural teacher. She was married while
quite young to a farmer, who died
some four years ago, leaving her with
four children, three boys and a girl,
Donald, Carlyle, Max and Averil, the
oldest feu and the y* ungest five years
old. She farmed for a time after her
husband's death, but the hired man
problem and the "wet" years com-
pelled her to abandon this.
Mrs. Anderson made practically a

The Dentist's Joke.
At a recent dinner of the Authors*
club in London to Mr. Owen Seaman,
the editor of Punch, Mr Walter
Kmanuel, another member of tho staff
of Punch, referred to the fact that the
man with the largest sense of humor
he had ever struck was an Englishman
—a dentist. He went to him after suf-
fering long with a toothache. He re-
fused to have gas, and tho dentist
pulled out a tooth, leaving him writh-
ing in pain, and took the tooth to the
window, where he laughed quite heart-
ily. He groaned: "What’s the joke?"
"Wrong tooth," said the dentist.
Some were under the impression
the campaign was conducted for the
purpose of securing a husband, but
she thinks it was rather an expensive
way to find a husband, and knows of
no man who is worth hiring an auto-
mobile at the rate of $10 per day to
pursue. She is out for office because
of the fact that wages paid women
teachers and other lines of work is
not adequate to support a family.
Mrs. Anderson expects to go on in
political work and if not able to vote
will try for the highest offices that
women may acquire, at least will con-
tinue to talk and persuade men to vote 4
for the right, a silent influence woman
can and is already wielding.
Merely a Prevaricator.
A doctor relates the following story:
“I had a patient who was very ill and
who ought to have gone to a warmer
climate so 1 resolved to try what hyp-
notism would do for him. I had a
large sun painted on the ceiling of his
room and by suggestion induced him
to think it was the sun which would
cure him. The ruse succeeded, and
he was getting better rapidly when
one day on my arrival I found he was
dead."
"Did it fail, after all, then?" asked
one of the doctor’s hearers.
"No." replied the doctor, “he dic'd
of sunstroke."
