Human intelligence cannot estimate
what we owe 10 woman, sir. She sews
on buttons, she ropes us in at the church
fairs, she cOnfdes in us, tells whatever
she can find out about the little private
affairs Of our neighbors. She gives us a
piece Of her mind sometimes, and some.
times all Of it. In all the relations OF
life, sir, Il is a just and grateful tribute
TO say Of her she is brick
Wherever you place woman, sir, in
whatever position or estate, she is an
ornament 10 the place she occupies, and
a treasure 20 the world. Look at the
names OF history Look at Desdemona.
Look at Lucretia Borgial Look at

different If he had belonged to q news

Mark locked around placidly upon
his excited audience, and resumed
repeat sir, that in whatever position
you place a woman, she is an ornament
to society, and treasure TO the world.
As a sweetheart she has few equals and
no superior. As wealthy grandmother,
with an incHrable distemper, she is gor
geous. AS wet nurse she has no equal
among men. What, sir, would the peo-
pie of the earth be without women2
They would be scarce, sir, almighty
scarce Then let us give her our sup
port, our encouragement, our sympathy
ourselves if we get chance.
But jesting aside, Mr.. President,
woman is lovable, gracious, kind Of
heart beautiful, worthy Of all respect,
of all Difference. No one here will re-
fuse to drink her health right cordially,
for each and every one OF us has per
sonally known, loved and honored the
best Of them all--his own mother.
