but would wear masculine habili-

n heads with bird wings, flowers,
e and other vanities.
= 8. They also declared in loud
voice that they would not obey
/. their husbands who had become
+ drunken, and that they would not
obey the laws of the land that
! were made by men who had be-
come drunken.
, Z. And they declared that they
, would ride their horses even as the
men do. Yea, they would ride
, astride Oftheir beasts.
8. And many other foolish
, things did these women, who
, walked not in the fear of the Lord
declare they would and would not
do.
9. And the fame of Charles the
MDwer and his wonderful and
fearful invention, the Blade,
spread throughout all the land, so
much so that these women who
walked not in the fear of the Lord
heard thereof.
~. And they wrote many long
epistles to Charles the Mower
wherein they fattered him and
made him believe he was greater
heather than Ingersoll.
IL. And they visited Charles
the Mower in his den in the city
and did pat him on the cheek, and
did cajole, and in many ways fiat
ter him.
II. And they said unto him
with one voice. Be thou our
champion, oh! Charles the Mower.
and with thy wonderful and fear
ful invention, the Blade, champion
our cause.
IL. Go forth in thy might, and
with thy wonderful and fearful in
vention, the Blade, smite every
man in the land who will not |
give US our demands, and smite
also every man who has become
drunken.
II. And smite thou also every
man who maketh strong drink or
selleth the same. Smite the law
makers until they let us make the
laws.
10. Yea, smite the rulers until
they let us rule the land, for be-
hold I'VE are wise; we drink no
stro1 L drink whereby we may be-
comd drunken.
16l And Charles the Mo Ower
hear fened unto the voices of
thesd women and reasoned with
hims, II thus:
HSaying: Bef old! My wife is
far wiser than |, and thus | know
all w3men are wiser than men. l
viii. pc their champion.
49, And when he came into the
presence of his wife he told her
what he had promised to do for
these women, who were heathens,
and walked not in the fear of the
Lord.
10. And his wife warned him to
have nothing to do with these
women, and besought him not to
champion their cause with his
wonderful and fearfully made
Blade.
20. But Charles the Mower
would not hearken unto her, and
said unto her: | know that thou
art wiser than l, and for this reason
| am constrained to believe that
all women are wiser than men.
2l. And if thou art wiser than
L, are not ten women wiser than
thou? l will he guided by one
woman no more, for 10! | have ten
to guide me.
%. And when the wife of
Charles the Mower heard him
speak thus she was sore distressed,
and wept many bitter tears.
