Ifa newspaper man knew how many knocks received behind his back, he would adopt another calling, remarke1 a citizen the other day. The man who succeeds expects to be maligned by every law breaker, swindler and hypo- crite every craping critic and every lover of notoriety who is ignored, and in fact all persons who do not agree with him on public and private questions. The men who expeetto go through life without being misrepresented and censured should make arrangements to to die young.-fAlvin Sun.

TIRED OF CITY LIFE.

An eastern man weary of city life flew into verse in the following style:
 1 would flee from the cit's rule and lawfrom- it's fashions and forms cut loose and go where the strawberry grows on its straw, and the gooseberry grows on it's goose, where the catnip tree is climbed by the eats as she clutches for her prey-the guileless and unsuspect ing rat on the rattan bush at play. will catch with ease the saffron crow and the cowlet in their glee, as they leap in joy from bough to bough on the top of the cowsllp tree and list while the part ridge drums his drum, the woodchuck chucks his wood, and the dog devours the dogwood plum in the primitive sol itude. O let me drink from the moss grown pump that was hewn from the pumpkin tree. Eat mush and milk from 8 rural stump, from folly's fashion flee new gathered mush from the mushroom vine, and milk from the milkweed sweet with pineapple from the pine. And then to the white-washed dairy I'll turn where the the dairymaid hastening hes her ruddy and goldenrod butter to churn from milk of her butterflies; and I'll rise at morn with the earliest bird, to the fragrant farm yard pass, and watch while the farmer turns his herd of grass hoppers out to grass.-Ex.

WOMEN AT HOME AND
 ABROAD.

The women of Ireland cast their first votes in the election just past. Nun icipal suffrage was granted so that women of England in 1869, to the wo- men of Scotland in 1881, and to the women of Ireland 1898. These success i've extensions ofthe right seem to show that 1t has proved satisfactory.
 Now the question arises why those English, Scotch and Irish women who have been enterprieeing enough to come to America should be looked up- on as less fit to vote than those who stayed Tn the old country.

FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF
 SUFFRAGE.

The class of citizens opposed to law; and order declare that it was mistake to give woman the ballot, proof that politics are not moving to suit them on the other hand, we have not seen or heard of one communication signed by Colorado man, of either public, financial, business, or even social prominence, declaring equal suffrage to be a failure, while many high in public esteem. and occupying the most important ..posi tions of public trusts. have, over their signatures, written of it's beneficial result.
 previous to women's voting polling places were often located in untidy and most unsuitable places. Since the ad- vent women in politics, polIing-booth are located in cleaner and respectable localities, and profanity in and near the boths-has disappeared. This im- proved environment we believe to he an external expression of cleaner pol. itical method, for primaries, conven- tons, and legislative hall are more orderly, personal abuse of opposing candidates is less frequent and the ma. chine politician is far less in evidence than formerly,
