THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
HIS FAILURE

some table cutlery. She's one Of our
best customers and a fine woman, but
easily offended. She's president of the
Anti-Suffrage society and has no;
earthly use for a woman who wants
to vote. A man with any sense would
steer clear of suffrage topics in the
presence of such a woman, but fools
rush in, as the saying is, and you be-
gan spiel about the way women are
denied their rights. You fairly wept
over the injustice done the wives and
mothers Of this country in refusing
them the franchise. Mrs Whimper
sat there glazing at YOU in disgust
and you were such a chucklehead you
never dropped to the fact that you was
balling everything up
Great Scott Did ever man have
such luck Why that woman wore
some kind Of a pin and it had the
word suffrage on it, and / thought
she was d vote fan. Any man might
make such a mistake
YES, but a man of ordinary sense
would back up when he saw he was
doing a lot of damage, but YOU kept
right along like a b1ithering idiot and
said that any woman who pays taxes
should be allowed to vote, and then
Mrs. Whimper got up, too mad for
words, and left the store like funnel
shaped cloud. I'll have to explain
things for three months to get her
Modified and she'd never come into
the store IF you remained here
Then the new drugless doctor came
in You sized him up as physician
but you hadn't sense enough to re-
member that there are forty kinds
OF doctors nowadays. This one cures
people by some magnetism graft and
hasn't a bit of use for ne edicines. So
of course you launched into a discourse
on medicine and expressed the opinion
that a man who is sick can't be cured
unless he takes a lot of bitters and
tonicS-''
You don't need to say any more, -
interrupted the new clerk. 81 can sym
pathize with you, but 1 think it tough
that man with the best intentions in
the world should have such luck as
mine.'-Chicago News.

ask his opinion of Carl Morris as

told him the whole history of Morris
and all about his height and reach and
the record he has made to date, and
the poor man was SO shocked that he
couldn't get up steam enough to re-

with interest. approaching anxiety, on
the part of the large body of citizens
who desire a radical reform in that
branch of Jurisprudence which re-
lates to Workr1ens Injuries.
The great question at present is the
cdnstitutionality Of any law for the
compensation of an injured workman
by his employer when the employer
has not been at fault. This New Jer-
sey act has been carefully drafted by
a commission headed by William B.
Dickson, who recently resigned as first
vice president of the United States
Steel corporation. His activity in the
matter is one of the many positive in
dications that capital will welcome a
compensation law which will be equit-
able in throwing at least part of the
financial loss for workrpen's accidents
on the employers. AS in England and
the continental countries of Europe,
any payments under such q system
will be calculated as part of the OPP
