Suffraget Cocktail Makes
Husband Wash Dishes

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, April
13.-The suffraget cocktail is the
newest American drink.
Any other kind of a cocktail
makes man want to go home
and beat his wife. The new drink
has exactly the opposite tendency.
Two or three of the new drinks
make a man go home and re-
linquish his position as head of
the household to wife, and accord
her all the privileges he now en-
joys as a citizen.
That's true, for it has already
been tried. A Henepin avenue
bartender invented the new drink.
Here's the recipe:
Clio gin, French vermouth and
Italian vermouth in equal parts
to make a gill; mix in a cock tail
glass, add dash Of orange Bit
tiers, twist in two strips of lemon
peel and serve.
One make a man willing to lis
ten to the suffragets' proposition.
Two convince him that it has
some merit.
Three make him a missionary,
willing to spread the gospel
abroad. and four make him go
home and wash the dishes. 81

champion is all right, though.
Corbett's argument that he is
good enough to retain the title lis
tens good If you like the noise,
and do. Maybe I'm partial to
Jim. He never hit me in the solar
plexus, SO I'm not looking at him
through the small end Of the
glasses. And when you are talk
ing to Corbett it's a conversation
not a monolog.
But getting back on the main
travelled road, Corbett bases his
belief upon his speed and science,
not,forgetting that he has the kick
in both hands, as he proved during
his last fight with Jeff, when he
stood toe to toe with the big fellow
and slugged for 10 rounds.
II went 23 rounds with Jeffries
at Coney Island without getting
a mark. I cut him to ribbons.
Then he landed that rock crusher
on my body and it was all off.
When / met Fitzsmmons / made
"a show of him until he put over
that solar plexus. I had him at
my mercy until that blow turned
the tables.
Nov, If Johnson has the brains,
grit, punch and cunning of Fitz, or
the punch of Jeffries, 1 would not
feel SO confident, but he possesses
nothing that made these men the
|marvels of the ring. He is the
champion, though, and he's my
meat"
Corbett can get into condition
easily. He weighs about 1872,
about the same as when he fought
|Fitzsimmons and Jeffries. He car
ries some flesh about his shoulders
that would have to give way to
muscle, but his arms and legs are
apparently good, and he says he
can fight in three months.
/ want to ask you to keep an
eye on Dave Deshler, the sturdy
Boston boy who mussed up Packy
recently. He is match
ed with Batting Nelson for May
80, and l have a bunch the cham
pion Will know he has been fight
ing when it is over.
Notice how carefully these
heavyweights and near-champions
are passing up Sam Langford?
None of them hear him when he
talks business, and the only ac-
tivity in his vicinity is that occa-
stoned by some one doing a fade
away, especially when Sam causes
an eclipse in that neighborhood
and requests a date.

Government Ownership of All Lines
Gives Cinch Control Of Common
Carrier Problem.

Switzerland. one of the smallest coun-
tries on the globe, could teach Uncle Sam
a great lesson In the management of rail-
roads" said Hedley p. Somner at the Pax
ton hotel, the representative for America
for the government railways Of the Swiss.
"Our railroads are government property -
he continued. =" They are controlled and
operated by government employees and the
income from the roads Is turned into the
national treasury. There are no railroad
syndicates or trusts; It is all one system,
owned by the people"
Switzerland Is said to be the only coun-
try that has railroad solicitors abroad.
Mr.. somner has no tickets to sell, in fact,
no tickets Of any kind are sold In America
for tours In Switzerland. He Is engaged
IN interesting railroad agents in boosting

Meade was Instructed to pass upon the anil
mails. After an investigation, he decided
that the disease was not flanders. and
there was no need OF the destruction OF the
stock which had been killed. The case
was passed upon by other veterinarians,
with different had OF opinions, but with
a majority declaring against CHAMBERS
Rousseau then began suit against the gov
