The gentle yet wide awake women Of a
certain temperance society were hold
ing q meeting. It was meeting for
members of the organization, yet
stranger spectators were present. The
case was discussed of Reed Smoot, the
United States senator from Utah who
was charged with being Il, practical
polygamist and concealing the fact. Tie
ladies denounced in unmeasured terms
the braZen insult to American and all
womanhood which the presence of
polygamist in thee nations highest leg
islative body would mean They threw
into their speeches all the eloquence Of
the feminine new found power in pub
liz oratory as they spoke their minds
Oh Mormon polygamists. Indignation
and excitement were at their height
when Il young man in back seat rose
and announced that he was Mormon
missionary and would like to explain
his particular brand of theology to the
ladies. There was a gasping for breath
among the women, then d storm of flu
rious Kisses and cries, these becoming
savage and menacing. like the shouts
of the French petroleuses. At length
| the words Throw him out!' could be
distinguished. There was an ominous
| moment of delay, then half a dozen of
the older, stronger women made
| simultaneous rush at the offender.
Their wrath was too great for mere
words They seized hold of him, 9th

He had no chance to defend himself,

pushed him through the door, through
the hall, and then white. slender femi-
nine hands actually hurled him down
stairs, and he went tumbling to the
| bottom. Talk Of weak woman!
Do not sit with legs crossed at the
knees. 1t stops blood circulation, par
alyzes the free action of the great
neural system that supplies the lower
half of the body with nerve stimulus.
therefore life and health. have
known neuralgia, rheumatism and par
tial paralysis to result from long con-
tinued pressure on these great nerves.
Besides. and what will count for more
than all with some women. the cross
legged attitude is ugly and ungraceful.
1t does not look pretty.

4 young lady of fashion lately met
| with a disastrous blow. She had a
party gown made according to an Eek
| elusive model She depended on the
dressmaker not to permit any common
i trash to get hold of the model and copy
/ it. The dressmaker, in the face of a
prospect of gain, proved faithless and
built another girls gown on the same
pattern. "Of course now I can never
wear the Dress" said the first girl in
dignantly. Dear, dear! This is dread
full.
4 reverend gentleman recommends
the founding of school to teach girls
to become good wives. Yes, yes. But
it would be much more to the point If
the reverend gentleman should look at
his own side Of the house and found a
school to teach men to become good
| husbands. They need it more than
women do, heaven knows Moreover.
there is much talk of mothers clubs.
It is about time we had few fathers,
/ clubs for change. Mothers have been
i preached at by church and state for
forty centuries, while it has been sup
posed that any old thing would do for
! a father. It is grievous mistake that
one civilization is suffering most griev-
ously for. Give us some societies for
the improvement of fathers!
