not have e frozen custard for dessert?
Indeed, II well made the difference

ordinary one, but instead OF being

By EDWIN A. NYE.

Did you ever try to make a woman
do something she was determined not
to do?
Did you succeed?
Miss Martha MARKHAM OF San Fran
cisco did not want an electric light
pole in front of her home.
The company did want it.
And this is how Martha. aided by
a dozen pairs of stockings and a darn
ing needle, plus woman's wit, got
the better of the company.
The big corporation had sent men to
dig hole in front of Miss Marthiam's
house. but when a dozen employees
came the next day they discovered the
lady seated in a rocking chair placed
directly over the hole. She was busy
darning stockings.
The foreman politely asked her to
move.
Miss Martha did not bulge.
The foreman tried threats-in vain.
The lady darned stockings. and after
awhile q crowd gathered. The crowd
jeered the foreman and his gang and
cheered for the plucky little woman.
There was a CLINT in her eye that kept
hands or her rocking chair.
Then the foreman telephoned to the
| police.
Three bluecoats clustered up, but the
| buster did not move the slight wo-
man who held the fort. Finally they
went away, saying there was no city
ordinance that permitted the woman's
| arrest.
| And there Martha sat
| And there the gang waited.
officers OF the company came to rea-
son it out Miss MARKHAM kept on
darning ct takes long time to darn
a dozen stockings until the 5 O'Clock
whistle blew. Then the street gang,
union men, left the battlefield In full
retreat.
That evening Miss MARKHAM had
the hole filed up and the grass re.
placed, and, though weeks have passed
the pole has not been planted.

when she won't she won't"
