Miss President, feIler.wimmen, and

wrongs and cussing the men. l be

WE'RE BOUND TO SUCCEED.
Our speakers don't lack brains or
influence, but there is one thing I
wish they did lack, and that is their
desire for q husband. No matter how
rabid q woman is on this question, or
how much she talks against the men
on the platform she'll grab the first
one that offers himself, and turn right
straight round and that's where we're
weak. Most women think they're
made for a purpose, and that was to
have Mrs. on their tombstone. They
had better be missed all their lives,
and when they die the more they are
missed the better. From the creation
of the world we've had all the great
men on our side. There's Pharoah
What did Pharoah do j! Recognizing
the fact that women must inevitably
rule, he issued an order to sJrangle all
the male children. If this thing
hadn't slipped up, 'twould be money
in our pockets. Mr.. Pharoah is dead
nov, and hadn't forethOught enough
to leave the business TO some good
man. Among those who escaped
justice at this time was ayouth named
Moses, and since then every Moses
has been q wart on the face Of Nature
including the wretehed object whose
rear name I am incumbered with.
