donned pair of skates that would have slid

home, and even the next morning he was
not certain whether he was on storm.

a balloon minus a parachute. He went
down to the breakfast table with enough wet
towels wrapped around his head to make
a turban for the mahdi. His wife met him
with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him of his
conduct the night before, however.
MY dear" She said, "did you know that
you came very near killing us all when you
went to bed last night?"
Nope" said her husband, thickly, as he
felt his hot forehead.
well, you did. You knocked over the
baby's cradle. Then you blew out the gas
and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do
you think of that"
Her husband is usually resourceful man,
but the fumes of many cocktails taken the
night before somewhat clouded his intellect.
He made grand brace and tried to look pa

A Sad object Lesson.

At the recent legislative hearing on woman suffrage in Massachusetts, Rev Charles r. Dole of Jamaica Plain, author of The Citizen and Neigh Dor" spoke in behalf of the petition CTS. After saying that he had former ly been opposed to the ballot for women, but had changed his mind, he continued:
 ''l ask for suffrage not for the sake of women, though 1t is bad to have the state put limit upon them, say ing in effect We do not want you, or we do not trust you ask it for the sake of higher civilization. It is a bad thing for men, bad object lesson for every growing boy to find ont that his mother and sister are not thought worthy of trust m public ar aiis, and are not expected to vote. It is not good for the new immigrants who come here, imbued in many cases with the old barbarUus traditions Of foreign c0un- tries ln regard to women, to ind that even m Tree America women are Sblll considered somewhat inferior, and that many-thing are forbidden to the most intelligent woman which are freely permitted to the mpst ignorant man. It would be good object les son for the state tO say, We treat men and women alikr: we will take off henceforth and fCrever all stigma upnr womanhood; we will abolish every relic of barbariSm on the woman Qnrstinn.'

Mir Layton has spent years ia Mexico and says that business men there recognize the value of the new steamship line projected. He thinks that it is little early yet for capital to do much in Mexico, save in mining.
