woman can get divorce without appealing
to men for ii and basiDg her action on grounds
that men have decided TO be juStifiable; that
men alone have the power to grant or deny
divorces. Now let Us see who have oftenest
given cause for divorce, and place the fault
where it belongs
Records compiled few months ago show
that four-fifths OF the divorce suits in this
State are brought by women. None of these
suits can be maintained without just cause.
Who furnishes the cause Certainly not the
women, for they are the compliments. The
cause is furnished by the defendants. The
wives have suffered wrongs which men have
pronounced ample grounds for divorce, and
they submit their complaints to Judges who
are men; and men decide that in four cases
out of five the husbands have so
conducted themselves that their
wives can not live with them and are
entitled 20 divorces. Every divorce
granted to a woman is a judicial declaration
that the husbands conduct has been such as
to ''break up domestic relations" Yet there
are papers that constantly give women the
blame; charge the fault, not to the husbands
who cause the trouble, but to the wives who
have endured until endurance is no longer
possible. Nothing could more manifesty
unjust The record shows that men, not wO-
men, are at fault Space used in growing
about women would be much more profit

bands and instructing them in their duty.

1t is time that women-the home-lOving sex

several months notice of intention to pro-

time to become acquainted with each other,
and preventing most of the marriages of per-
sons of incompatible temperaments. They
would introduce equal rights in the home,
meal that they must curb their tempers and
respect the rights OF their wives, and thus
doing away with most of the causes which
now force women to apply for divorces for

Were poised moment ere they sped.
As we leaned back. breath of air
Mingled the brown locks of our hair.
We loosed AS one our bow-eords rang.
A. one, away our arrows sprang-
Away they sprang, the wind OF June
Thrilled to their softly whistled tune.
We watched their flight and saw them strike
Deep in the ground slantwise alike.
So far away that that they might pass
For two thin strawS of brown Sedge grass.
Then arm in arm we doubling went
To fnd whose shaft was. furtnerest sent.
Each fearing in his loving heart
That brothers. shaft had fallen short.
But who can tell by such plan
Which OF US was the stronger man.
There at the margin of the wood,
Side by side our arrows stood.
Their red cock feathers wing and wing,
Their amber necks still quIvering.
Their points deep planted where they fell
An inch apart and parallel.

very day went before magistrate with the
