she is an older port of entry than New
York, and the little town for a time at
tempted to rival its prospectively great

place afterward took the name of
Perth, in honor of James, earl of Perth,
one OF the twenty-four proprietors-

From Judge Johnson.

Sarah Hargrayes, Secretary, etc:
Madam have your challenge of March g.
1894 now just where made my mis- take
in recommending to the public the book Look
very dear friend, and thought that might
thus do him service Little did think at the
time that the Womans Progressive Political
league would swoop down upon like this.
In fact, did not know that there was Wom-
ans Progressive Political league in the whole
world But so it is. Somehow we suffer
rewards and punishmentS in this
friendly world whether we are to blame or not.
For this thoughtless blunder I must endure
the penaltv am required to publicly debate
with the Woman's Progressive Political league
or back square out How thankful I am for
this alternative My wav is clear and plain.
shall just back square out. might be induced
to favor my friend by recommending his book,
but nothi can induce me to hold a Joint de-
bate with Woman'S Progressive Political
league I am not very old but I am too
old for that Besides 1 am married man,
and have had experience Inever allow myself
to debate with one woman: pray, why should
risk a debate with such an array of beauty,
youth, wisdom and experience as must be found
in your Woman's Progressive Political league.
No indeed Not I Just ask your league to
count me out make no excuse that my time
is too much occupied, or ANYTHING of that sort
I just simply come square down and admit
that 1 could think of doing such a
thing for my life don't know what the other
gentlemen, whom you have challenged along
with me, may do I could not wait to see them
for fear that the only hope for nv escape by
declining would somehow get away from me- !
hope, however, that you will get some or all OF
them to accept I should like to see what
would become of them If they do but you can
count me out as have said
