SRA BILE.
One unfortunate differe nee
between men and women has
been brought to light by the
cultivation of womeu's brains.
A man of brains can fall in
love with his mental inferior
and stay so; a woman can't.
Money you can earn yourself
may come hard, but it's awfully
nice not to have to ask anybody
for it at the end of the week
If women would swear a little
more they wouldn't cry SO
much.
Since the beginning of time
woman's affections have been
kept in a dollhouse to make
them just as large aud teIIer
as possible; her judgment has
been confined TO the cellar, t.
grow like a potato sprout. It's
good thing to reverse the pro
cess for a while.
Statistics show that ten men
desert their fdmi les to one
woman; and yet womec are
blamed for race suicide.

worth the trouble.
The moment Of disillusion
