NO MORE THAN HE DESERVED
Constituencies lnterrupter of Suffra-

and Wiser Man.

The suffragette meeting was in full
blast Enthusiasm was rampant and
every remark the distinguished leader
made was cheered to the echo.
And now we come to personal cour-
age" cried the speaker, excitedly;
"our masculine enemies try to deride
us with such illusions as 'frail fem
ininity,' or weaker vessels but we can
show more bravery than men"
AYE, aye, sister!" echoed a mighty
chorus.
when it comes to real danger we
fear nothing"
aye, aye, sister!"
'Now take sister Horn, our worthy
fighter and vote getter of this district
She fears nothing. Two nights in
succession sister Horn came home
from one of our enthusiastic meet
ings and found a mEn under her bed"
There was a short pause. Then q
little emaciated chap who had crept
to the front unobserved arose and
stretched his arms.
HIM" he calculated, with a deep
yawn. "I'll bet a dollar agin a plug
of tobacco that man was her husband
seeking safety"
And when the little emaciated chap
finally recovered his bearings he was
on the sidewalk minus hat and collar.
