The w. C. T. U. free reading room has been moved to one of the rooms formerly occupied by the Forest service in the Pollock block. While the new location has the disadvantage of being on the second floor, the ladies of the w. C. T. U. intend to make the room even more comfortable and inviting than was the old one, as the prime object in maintaining the reading room is to provide a place where men and boys may while away an idle hour. The latest papers and magazines are kept on file and a good supply of miscellaneous reading matter is always on hand. The reading room will continue to sell local view post cards as one means of raising funds for its maintenance.

class sphere. Adam had been bossing
and bluf1ing around for we don't know
how many years, and when Eve came
he began to boss her. Right there was
the chance of a woman's lifetime, but
Eve wasn't the female to see and seize
it. If she had been there wouldn't
have been centuries Of slavery for her
sex. If she had got her hands into
Adams hair the first time he began to
bluff he'd have been the one to rock
Cain and Abel in their cradles. Eve
was meek. She didn't want any row
around the house. She couldn't speak
very good English, and she hadn't
words to At occasions, as the new
woman has.
And then Cain saw how easy it was
to bulldoze a wife, and he got married
and bulldozed his, and Abel followed
suit. We read Of the good and wise
prophets, but we don't read Of their
wives. Woman's place at that era
was behind the door. She was not
considered the equal of the mule. She
worked in the field with the ass and
the OK, and instead of sitting down to
meals with her husband she took her
lunch on the icebox. For a thousand
years after Eve had come and gone
the family cat was considered of more
consequence than a woman.
Come down to the days of the Ro-
man empire. A few women had got
ahead Of the game, but the great
mass were still in a state Of slavery.
Man, the boss, had only to point his
finger and they hiked. In all the Ro-
man empire there We're not 500 wo-
men who dared get up in the morn
ing and predict the weather for the
day. If n had been caught with a
fashion book in her possession she
would have received the lash. 1t
seems queer in these days, when the
new m can sit with her feet up
and read fashion books and magazines
all day, that there was ever a time
when they were tied up and dashed,
but SO it was, and they took it as hum
bly, rs kittens. If a m in Egypt
had dared come to the kitchen door
and call out to her husband in the
back yard, "Joe, grub is ready" she
would have been put to death for her
impudence.
Meek Mates Of tho Ancients.
There was a Mrs. D%iogenes. Ever
hear anything about her? No, of
course not. While he was sitting
around in his tub and making a great
bluff to the public she was hoeing in
the garden ut home or whitewashing
the cellar. The new woman calls her
husband Pete or Joe or Tom. Have
you any Idea that the wife Of the old
tubite ever dared to address him as
Diog?
There was a Mrs. Pliny and a Mrs.
Plato. They were on a high plane for
their sex. but they had to mind their
p's and as, and don't you forget it.
