NO HOPE FOR THE MEN.

Big sleeves are going out they say,
And yet we see them every day
Wher'er we go.
It's plain that the millennium,
Although, perhaps. it's bound to come,
Is coming slow.
And when II does and sleeves grow SMALL
What will the women do with all
The cloth they've got?
Will all the woolen mills shut down,
While store men fail and tailors frownr
Man knoweth not.
One thing Is sure. Mems pocket books,
However lovely woman looks,
VIII not grow fat.
II cloth is plenty, what they save
Zach one to spend at once Will crave
On new hat.

"Well what do you suggest?" asked Smalley.
"We'ye got couple of good Democrats and

give them the places" was the reply.

hind him were trying to keep up with the hunt,
