Bruce Herald: The anti-suRra-

in the branches Of a tree for his
wife and babies and sits at the foot
OF the tree through the night to de-
fend them from enemies, with a de-
votion not excelled in any eiviliza-

been known to establish red light
districts for the sale of it's
daughters and ruin of its sons, nor
to crush out the lives Of mothers
and children in sweat shops and fac
tories. 1t would be we'll for human
ity il those among the anti-sudra-
gists who find profit or pleasure in
the mistreatment of the helpless
girls and women and children, could
return to the civilization of the gor-
lila. 1t is for the protection of the
weak, abused by men whose chival-
ry has fallen comparatively below
that of beasts, that the women are

ing their freight engines on the
Black Hills division will be equipped
with CRATES suitable for the burning

ton lis the fact that the engines
throw such great quantities of
sparks when using Ignite, but this
can be obviated to a certain extent
by the use Of spark arresters.
