cannot be heard. I'm going to
atart in the morning! III can't
have a female wife--a wife who
don't want to wear her husbands s
breeches and all that--I will have
none"
"You are certainly"
"Crazy, is what you are going to
say. OF course / am, or / would
never have married man, simply
because he wore a dress. "

ry of that kind. just think Of 1t,
Madam liked to have said mad
man-if you can think, q moment;
after you become a member of the
thing, you of course, take to hard
drink; after this, any step, it mat
ters not how bad it may be, will be
taken. You will have street fights
and what is worse, you will have
periodical fits of wanting to go to
the legislature. A woman who
wants to vote and hold Office is
about as low as a women can get

George, | do most solemnly
swear"
"Horror of horrors You've
gone to swearing already! You
are fit candidate for the Sorosis.
You'll be elected president the
first night, and Lord have mercy
upon your poor children then! /
know it will break their young
hearts to see their mother clothed
in a mans dress, with a cap cooked
iauntly on one side of her head,and
to hear her swear wicked oaths as
did just now. 'Twould be better
for them and us, were they to die
tonight. 1 know you'll kill them
before a month is out, in order to
be rid Of theml ffyou try, how

know that I will protect them and

"Do for sake of peace, hear me
q moment! +"
Haven't been listening to you
two hours? AS this is the last
night that can exercise the grand

vain for me to even try to dissuade
you from this awful step, so l will /
only warn you. Look at all other
female Sorosises in the United |.
States. There is Geo T. Train, for
instance, You take him for your
model. He's the craziest woman
in existence, yet he is the leader Of
the great movement. Then there
is Cady Stanton, who, no doubt
| as killed at least a dozen children
next is Susan Anthony, who eX-
| e3t, would as lief kill a man as to
look at him. AS to Parker Pitts
btg-well go on once, partner of
my bosom! I'm done"
"And | think it is time. You
have exhausted What little YOU
know, have called me everything
bad in the English language, have
heaped all the bitter imprecations
in the Billingsgate vocabulary, and
have not told less than fifty lies,
simply because I tried to inform
you that it was my intention to
join tile Society for the Relief
Of INDECENT Orphan Girls in our
State"
"Why in the thunder didn't you
say so, then? You women hove
such a circumlocutory way Of get
ting at anything it is no wonder a
person will be led off to say things
that, though deserved, could very
well be dispensed with"
So saying, Jenkins turned over
and went to sleep, leaving his wife
murmuring something about the
injustice of brutes in the shape of
men,"
