HUSBAND in REVOLT.

1t is to be hoped that the daring
move for liberty made by the hus-
bands of Warsaw, Ind, in organizing a
Suffering Papas club, will not lead
to civil war in that thriving town. But
whether the decisive step taken by the
married male population of Warsaw
results in precipitating open strife, or
whether, as the suffering papa's" be-
lieve, the club will be the means of
awning the female population OF the
field, one thing is certain-further
news of the events in Warsaw will be
watched with interest by the male
population of other cities who have
the same grievance as the
Warsaw men, or who fear
that some time in the future
they may be brought face to face with
these grievances. A few of the things
to which the Warsaw husbands OBJ
jected as set forth in the constitution
Of the new club are:
I'VE refuse to get up in the night
and put the cat out"
Eve refuse to wipe dishes"
No more will we sit In the pantry
opening sardines while our daughters
give swell affairs"
Evening is our time for rest, and
not to judge wives dress patterns"
1T is not bad form for us to put
our stocking feet up on the radiator
and smoke. We enjoy it."
OF course, husbands who have never
been called to get up In the night and
put the cat out, who have never been
not been called into service to open
ho WI u To- H,,fo
tanning, who have not been asked to
put up their books and pass judgment
on a new dress pattern, or who have
not been requested to desist from
smoking with their stocking feet
perched upon the radiator, will not
take any particular interest in the de-
velopments at Warsaw. But there are
other husbands perhaps who have had
the same experience as the Warsaw
men, and for their guidance in the
event that they should decide to try
the Warsaw plan Of striking for lib
erty, the list Of Offices of the Warsaw
organization are given:
Master suffering papa.
Senior suffering papa.
Junior suffering papa.
Suffering papa guard.
Suffering papa leader.
Suffering papa tester.
Suffering papa lecturer.
Suffering papa inquisitor.
Suffering papa secretary.
Suffering papa master of ties.
Suffering papa choirmaster.
1t would perhaps be well, though
Tor other husbands who feel that they
are being mistreated by their
better halves to await the outcome OF
the Warsaw experiment before at
tempting to organize a similar club. If
the Warsaw husbands win, there will
then be time to organize branches OF
the lodge. If they lose, it might be
we'll to accept the inevitable and &c
about putting out the cat and wipine
the dishes with more resignation
There could be no harm, however, in
dropping a line to the men on the
firing line at Warsaw, assuring them
of support and giving them encourage
ment to stand by their guns. 1t is al
ways safe to urge some one else on tc
battle when you are out of range
