WOMAN and
SOCIETY,".

Her hair is soft and silken,
Her impid eyes are blue;
i think she's sweet and pretty
AndSothers think it, too.
The folks about the village
Declare it's plain to see
I'm struck beyond comparison
And she is struck on me-.
It's true that l am smitten,
/ don't deny the fact;
/ dare not try to hide it,
l don't possess the tact.
It's true that she is smitten,
But hang the peSky luck,
She's told me by her actions,
It's on herself she's struck.

manly and cowardly by all civilized ma
lions. To diSfgure a Woman'S features
is a dastardly crime. and should be
treated as such. Sunday night Mac
Guthrie escorted Miss Ada Garner
from church, and on her refusing to
consent to marry him, he struck her
in the face, from which blow she is
still suffering. He skipped at once.
If there is no law to reach him, the
boys should rig up one.
