JUST LIKE HER MOTHER.

Mrs Lenses Little Girl, Louise. Lectures
Reform school Boys Woman Suffrage.
If there is one person Mrs Lease is
prouder of than she Is of herself it is her
little eleven.y year, old girl Louise Little
girl of course Is simply a conventional
expression, for Louise has already shown
strong signs of being of the same sex
that her mother Is.
She is very original and does her own
thinking. OF her own free will and
through conclusions arrived at by her
own investigation she has become a
vegetarian And no meanly disposed
person can say that she believes that way
because meat dirties up dishes so aud
the gravy bowl is the most disagreea bic
thing to wash, for according to the Lease
household economy dish washing is no
part of woman's work.
Mrs. Lease brought Louise with her to
Topeka this time and it was while they
were at the Reform school that the truth
of the old adage .slike father like son"
was demonstrated. Louise saw the
scores of naughty boys sporting about on
the play grounds and seized the Oppor-
tunity to Impress on their young and
plastic minds the truths of a new era.
SO she gathered a hundred or so boys
trees on the lawn and addressed them on
woman suffrage. After talking to them
several minutes during which the big
and little bad boys paid better attention
than they ever did to their mammas'
counsels she concluded: "Now boys
some of these times a good many years
from now when l am candidate for
president or congressman L want you all
to vote for me; Will you do it!'
The boys were all evidently under the
spell for they all answered, 'Yes ma'am,
We will"

Dire threats are being circulated
nightly through anonymous circulars in
