 Fair sex.

Chicago. Feb. .1s-Bishop Charles P. Anderson has added 8 unique contribu- ton to. the arguments in favor of wo- man suffrage. In an address last night to a mems club he took up the eudgels for the other sex.
 "When men have an afternoon off they go to a bali game or a circus" he said. When g. woman has an after noon to spend she goes to a meeting of the Browning Club. The women come home loaded with ideas; the men come home simply loaded"
 The Bishop went on to say there was as much reason why the women should get together and refuse to allow the men to vote as for opposite conditions to exist.

There is rejoicing in the home of Mr..

nue.. Saturday morning, bright and early,
the stork swooped down upon the home
and played the Santa Claus act by leaving
a cute, pretty baby girl.
k 1t was a Christmas present indeed for the
father and mother and two other little
girls in the family. 1t was a really holi-
day baby.
But the story is not ended. Mrs. Devine
first saw the light of day when firecrack-
ers were booming and flaming skyrockets
were shooting through the air, for she was
born on the Fourth of July.
On W~ashington's birthday in 1903 Mr..
and Mrs. Devine welcomed their first baby
into the household. It was a girl.
On New Years day. Just two years ago,
She holiday stork came again and left an
other little girl. The Christmas present of
1903 makes three holiday babies born to
the mother who was born on the glorious
Fourth.
I'm all my experience this is the most in
teresting," says DR.. J. T. Dwyer, the
patriotic stork physician. 81 ought to have
a pretty good reputation as a holiday
stork."
