CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.

when man knows how to match a ribbon,
When woman learns to drive nail,
When man can thread needle deftly,
When mice don't make u woman pale.
When woman gets of right from street cars.
Instead Of facing toward the roar,
When man stops smoking bad tobacco
And drinking sour smelling beer,
When woman doesn't block tho sidewalk
with spreading skirts and puffod out sleeves,
When man stops flirting with new charmers
And to his lawful darling eleaves,
When man can understand the baby -.
And woman petting it talks sense, -,
When man proposes n new bonnet
And woman SHES at the expense .
Phenomena like these and others
May strike surprised observers dumb,
But they will know by these same tokens
That the millennium has come.
