The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1910-03-16

! Thousands of women are making
sacrifices and why shouldn't II"
Mr. Claude Talbot was level
headed young man and had bit OF
philosophy in his makeup. He didn't
rear around and tear his hair and rush
out of doors, but decided to pay out
| on the rope and see what would come
| of it.
Next day Miss Pauly called to see
| Mrs. Havens. Mrs. Havens was tall
and strong and muscular. She had the
| voice OF man, and when that voice
got to relating the bondage of her
sex the grocer's boy at the back door
shivered in his Shoes He thought she
had found shortage in the weight of
the butter. She had an apathetic
| welcome for the recruit.
You cannot hope to distinguish
| yourself" she said. II have some
| printed arguments it will be well for
| you to real, and when you use them
in talking to others please mention
that they are my arguments. Did you
wish to leave cash donation for the
great cause?"
And Pauly made q call on Mrs
| Washington Glen. A few weeks prev
iously Mrs. Clem had marched to the
polls on election day and offered her
ballot. When the inspectors had re-
fused 1t she had drawn herself up and
| said:
The downfall of man in the United
States dates from this hour! 1t may
take years to do it, but the time is
coming when we shall have our feet
on your necks. And then, you shall
squirm and s-q-u-i-r-ml"
Miss Pauly stated her convictions
anent the burning question, and added
that she had made up her mind to
write some startling articles for the
press at large. She didn't believe she
was equal to speech yet, but she did
believe she could give the cause big
boost with her pen. What did Mrs.
Glenn think of the idea, and would 1t
make any difference in this case If
both sides of the paper were written
on?
1T is well you come to me- my
dear" was the reply. Il am writing
on this sacred subject for the press,
and | don't care to have things mixed
up. You will not understand the sub
ject for years and years to be qualified
to write about 1t. We want your sym.
pathy and will be glad of cash con.
tributions, but you had best leave the
rest in ADLER hands"
The next call, two days later was
on Mrs. Abel Clinkington 1t used to
be just Clinck but after the outbreak
of the great revolution for rights the
rest was added on. Miss Pauly was
fortunate. There was meeting there
that day at which all the stern,
strong, determined women were pres
ent to discuss matters. They did more
Mrs. Glen announced that as soon rs
the sex got the ballot she proposed to
run for mayor of the town.
Mrs. Dashford would not stop there.
She wanted to be governor, and she
felt sure that her popularity would
carry her there.
Mrs. Havens expected to be minis
ter to st. James, and she lost her tenn
per when someone doubted that she
was diplomat. When it came to
the presidency there were a dozen
claimants, and after hearing them tell
of each others uniitness for the posi-
tion Miss Pauly made a sneak for
home. 1t was exactly one minute to
o'clock when she stood in the door of
the sitting-room and announced:
Mamma, | am no suffragette!"
"No?" was the careless reply.
1t was just two minutes after
when the girl got the central over the
wire and telephoned to Mr.. Talbot:
Young man, what's the matter
with your"
"Oh, I've been busy"
We'll, come up here this evening or
that marriage will never come off!
I've changed my mind, and am now in
favor of tyrant man!'-New Haven
