Legislatures do very foolish thing
sometimes. In n Of them was intro
duced a resolution to make the tel
co amendments a part of the statutes
another asks for Il state board to ex
anime blacksmiths; another propose
to license BARRIERS; another has beei
considering the question Of taxinI
whiskers; another wants corn doctor
to pass a state examination; two other
proposes to tax bachelors; still anothe
desires to punish by heavy fine a widow
= or unma' ried woman who refuses al
honorable offer Of marriage; and an
other comes forward with a bill to pre-
vent women from sending flowers l.
| criminals. Thus it goes, and mucl
needed legislation is crowded out b
