The Man Who Does Not Believe In Woma,
Suffrage.
have found him. He thinks womel
have not intelligence enough to vote ant
never will have. He says besides tina
politics is none of their business any
how. Their place is to stay at hom,
and keep house and take care of the chill
dren. The woman who does anything
else "unsexes herself" says the mar
who does not believe in woman suffrage
He is against equal pay of the sexes fol
equal work too. He affirms that women
are such botches and so shallow Drained
that their services are worth no more
than q third as much as mans. He
would never let q woman who is obliged
to ''unsex" herself and earn living do
anything but homework, washing or
scrubbing if he could help it. Also if he
had his way he would take away from
women every public clerkship, every
stenographic and typewriter and cash
ier's desk and give them to men, espe.
cially if they pay fairly well. He would
not permit woman to be lawyer,
doctor or preacher if he had his way
and has said so. In brief, he de-
clares out and out that woman is
poor creature at best, inferior to man in
every respect. Just so! And ! have
found out exactly why the man who does
not believe in woman suffrage or equal
pay for equal work holds such unmanly
opinions. There is reason for it. He
is lawyer now and public speaker
who has attained considerable distinc-
tion--in fact, if l should mention his
name you would know it in minute.
In his youth he was very, very poor. He
did not even have money enough to
study law, but he married noble, lovely,
energetic lady who was as devoted to
him as if he was not mean little man.
She taught school. She kept boarders.
She earned money in various ways and
skimped and saved to the last degree to
get money enough to pay her husbands
expenses as law student. She carried
the whole burden of the family support
till he was able to get practice enough to
keep soul and body together. Whatever
he is or may be in the future he owes
absolutely to this brainy, self sacrificing
wife. Her reward is that now he turns
and rends her, and not only her, but
womanhood. What do you think Of q
man like that2 I know one sarcastic
woman who says it served the wife just
right.
The most precious quality in this life
is human sympathy.

composed of the former
pupils of the school which this eminent
educator founded and conducted SO
many years at Troy, N. Y. Forty years
ago it was as much honor to have been
trained at Mrs. Willards school as it is
for the girl of today to be graduate of
Cornell or Ann Arbor. Mount Holyoke
seminary and Mrs. Willard's school at
Troy were really the pioneers of higher
education for women. The Emma VIII
lard association held meeting not long
since in the Woman's building at Chica-
go which was the occasion of much en-
thusiasm. 1t is desired that all the
former pupils of the Troy school shall
become members. Mrs. Russell Sage,
New York, is president of the association.

Five ladies have been sent as official

A comparatively new occupation for
women is now opening. 1t is that of

Palmer House, Chicago, it was tried and
roved q great success. Mr.. Palmer testi-
les that women cashiers are quite as eff

Ir. Palmer says there is only one trou-
