w ellf HON' 1911 tillS awful
"Good men, a woman said "are
like good roads-made to walk
over" Well, poor old Adam
never knew a sorrow or care I'M
til Miss Eve made her appearance
upon earth, and then Adams
trouble began. He had to 90 to
work to support and maintain
his partner. If ever man took
life easy and was contented and
happy, Adam was that man, but
when God gave him Eve things
began to happen and they con-
tinue to happen and the daugh-
tiers of Eve continue to stir up
the sons of Adam, and now they
declare the men are only fit to
walk over and we can't help our
selves. | would like to see the
man who has the audacity to say
Nay, | am free from their in
huence, Independent of Them"
We thought that women had some
regard for our goodness hut she
declares the better we men are
the more easily she can walk
over us, then again, | can hardly
understand why she harps on
woman's rights so much if we
good men are only pavements for
her to walk on. 1t appears she
has all the rights one could de-
sire and the man thrown In for
good measure. To draw a picture
of the woes man has suffered in
consequence of his relationship
with these fair creatures, it would
require a canvass as large as the
world itself and it wouldn't be
noticed or take any premium at
the Worlds Fair either for she
has the whole world by the fore
top and leads it at her sweet will
and it will side with her every
time. She wins the favor of the
Judge and jury and gains the
suit without a moments loss of
sleep. No being on earth rules
so despotically as the daughters
of Eve and a man may just as
well get up and get move on
himself as to resist awhile then
be forced to Yield obedience at
last, for rule they will in spite of
Adam and all his defendants
Well, l guess it's alright, for
Adam was really no account I'M
til Eve came along and stirred
him up and made him get a move
on himself. With whip and spur
she has kept his boys in gallop
all the time, and as she becomes
more enlightened the greater the
speed would,be. l am not certain
but that she will soon put on two
spurs to increase the speed of her
obedient steed, man. She kept
Adam and his sons from being
lazy, INDECENT set of savages and
not one of them has ever turned
traitor except those whose ANAL
gamation with beasts put them
out of the human family. So
summing up the whole matter
the purity of the Adamic family
has been propagated by the fair
daughters of Eve; they have
right t2 boast Of their power and
dominion over man to make him
be something and somebody.
After thinking seriously over the
matter | agree with her that a
good man was made for her to
walk over and she has perfect
right to take him in hand and
make man of him for he needs
a master that can control, civil
ize, refine him and make of him
beautiful carpet with rich and
bright colOrs that will shed
halo of glory in the home where
he dwells for the queen of that
home to place her dainty feet on.
So, women, you have a perfect
right to subdue the old Adam
and make a useful article of fur
niture out Of him; he needs pol
ishing up and overhauling each
day, so do your duty and walk
over him. UNCLE Tom.
