You could never get woman to take
any interest in business panic If the ba-
by was cutting a new tooth.
One of the hardest blows to a woman is
that after she narries a man she can't
have him propose to her any more.
The man who peers at other people
through the wrong end of a spy glass
never makes that mistake when looking
at himself.
A man gets off so many smart sayings
when nobody is around that he can't do
any when he is with people for trying to
think them up.
There is hardly enough hattery in the
whole world to satisfy one man who be-
1ieves he has q fine figure that must be
dressed in the perfection of fashion.

THE MOSQUITO.

He comes, a-singing in the night
A thing of terror: yet so small!
It's useless to attempt to fight
And all In vain for help you call.
He scorns so slight thing as wealth,
When his dread visits make you wincss
His quest demands your rest and health
OF graft he is the very prince.
He takes then pubic for his prey,
And not content with fattening,
He leaves before he goes away
Mementoes that will smart and sting.
He has been caught. But oftener FAR
In safety he has fed and laughed.
To hear you curse your luckless star
He is the very prince of graft!

A NOTABLE MEETING.
Held In the Interest of "WOman's
Rights" In 1901.

Held In the Interest of "WOman's
Rights" In I7O1.
The first recorded public meeting In
the interest of "woman's rights" was
held In the town of Medford, Mass, i'll
1701. The gallery of the church was
occupied by the young unmarried peo-
pie of the congregation, one side and
one half the front gallery being given
to the young men, the other side and
the other half being given to the young
women. But In the seating In this
eventful year the young men were CIV
en- the entire front of the gallery as
well, and the young women were only
allowed one side of the gallery.
Then 1t was that things began to
happen. Treatment like this wasn't to
be tolerated even for moment. The
blood of the future mothers of the
Revolution was fully aroused, and the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that 1t speedily became
a town matter, and a town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights in half Of the front gallery.
The young men of the day were bit
terly opposed to extending any new
privileges to women, and the fight ex-
tended beyond Medford Shortly after
the introduction of 'pues" into the
churches, by which families were sep
arated from the remainder of the con
gregation, the selectmen of the town
of Newbury gave permission to a group
Of young women to build ''pue" In
the gallery of the church upon their
own side of the house. This extension
Of privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such degree that they
broke a window Of the church, forced
an entrance and hacked the pew in
pieces. For this act of sacrllege the
young men of Newbury were fined $40
each and sentenced to be whipped or
pilloried. But they were manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
so this part of their punishment was
omitted. So you see the "woman's
rights" movement isn't a modern one
