In full force and New York 10 grave
yard on Sunday. The knowing ones get
drink but the stranger within the
gates walks around as empty as a busted
real estate boom. In some places you
can get sandwich with drink thrown
in and it is awful to see what a jag of
sandwic some folks do get. They
can't walk straight. Well bread and
enough ham will make hog OF a man.

lady ever saw. A cross between an

On the quiet you see some funny things
on this city's streets. l don't wonder
they have blinds on the horses rs we'll as
the windows. In fact. if this thing keeps
up the men will all be blind straining
the optic nerve trying to see all they can

seems to be to try and see how much she
can unsex herself. think of the lady

woman with little dog with a lovely
blanket on. Something was wrong with
the dog for he did not work right. l
thought at first he had been wound up too
tight. Suddenly he dropped on the walk
as if dead. She picked him up and kiss
ed him again and again crying like
child. Finally doggie rallied and came

thought Of poor husband; what dose of
microbes he would get when he got home
and kissed those ruby lips. 1t was very
apparent the dog had the call on that
household. In what l have said l have
confined my remarks to the new woman
and from specimens have seen I know
she will make the sweet womaniy-woman
that all men love, respect, cherish, and
would fight and die for, if necessary,
blush for her sex. A woman never shines
in the true light God intended her to so
much as when with sweet grace and dig
nifty she presides over her own home, rul-
ing with the sceptre of love and charity,
her legitimate domains and her willing,
loyal, loving subjects. Husband and
children. brothers and sisters, there wom-
an stands in her true sphere. but when
she puts on pants and goes on the high.
way men lose respect for her and she for
feits what belongs to her sex-respect. l
should not be surprised to see them chew
ing tobacco like a sailor. l love and re-
spect true woman and know they are
heavens choicest gift to man. They are
the builders up and tearers down of kings
and kingdoms, the great balance wheel Of
man, are now and always will be. but the
specimens OF the so-called new women I
have seen are q disgrace to both men and
women for they are neither.
