The Same Old John L.

Old John L. Sullivan always had a
fine Irish wit, and it remains with him
in his advanced age. Not long ago he
was appearing In Baltimore theater
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to a wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was a
typical chollyboy, the sort of speci-
men that old John abhors. Sullivan
was washing his face in the theater
dressing room when the two arrived,
and they waited patiently until he had
finished his ablutions. When John
had dried his countenance he gave the
dude one look, and then said to the
manager: well, l congratulate you,
Jack, is 1t boy or a girl?"

l object to international marriages
wherein the two parties are good and
honorable and well matched. But SO
many of these marriages are like one
that a Boston cynic described to
me.

this Bostonian.
"'Oh, quite said he. The bride

IGeI~. OK

Several gatherings of workingwomen in
France and Germany recently argued the
old question of the difference in the wages
paid to women and men, who do the same
kind of work. If the lesser and local
issues, of local Importance only, are elimi-
mated, these questions OF International in
terest remain:
1. Is the existing difference in wages
of male and female workers justified by
the difference in the working ability of the
two sexes?
2. If a difference in working ability
exists, what gives occasion for it?
