Women have been getting the best
of men from the time Eve stole
Adams best piece of spare rib out of
his inside pocket and Delilah trimmed
Samson. In short, the hand that rocks
the cradle spanks the world.
Men complain of women working
and taking away their jobs from them.
l see no objection to this if the wom-
en- marry the men and look after them.
You have heard also that unkind
reply made by man about to get
married. A friend said to him, $50
you are going to get married. Well,
you are now at the end of your trou-
bles.o The man who was about to
get married replied, (Which end?"
Now, my opinion is, there was no
doubt as to which end of his trou-
bles he was at The man who talked
that way,was near his finish.

We're"
You talk about men ruling. The
power of the petticoat will remain
until women wear trousers. Even
then the seat of power will only be
transferred.
Men will give women their fortunes
they will give their lives for them, il

cept their seats in the street car.

Thornwell Mutually made a speech
at the Eagles banquet His subject
was "The Ladies'" and every body who
heard him says that he handled it very
well. Among those present was John

asked Mullally for a copy of it. 1t
has leaked out that Considine consid-
cred it one of the best monologues he
had ever heard There is rumor
that he offered Mutually inducements
to make the swing around the circuit
delivering the speech, but this rumor
must remain a rumor. Mulally will
neither affirm or deny it. Being a
bachelor, though not confirmed one,
Mutually handled "The Ladies" with
that temerarious jocosity which makes
married men laugh. Listen to Null

1t has been said regarding woman's
creation from the rib of man that
when the rib was extracted, man was
placed in profound sleep; then wom-

first sleep became his last repose.
Man is jealous of woman because
she is excelling him in everything.
She scars with him, however high

6-YEAR-OLD GIRL
KIDNAPPED BY NEGRO

Promised some candy and an apple
if she would follow him around the
corner, little 6-year-old Mildred Peck,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. f. r. Peck,
425 West Eighth street, was kidnapped
by burly negro about $3.50 last even
ing as she stepped out of the Ward
robe Cleaning and Pressing establish
ment on Main street, conducted by
her father, and held for almost an
hour before she was found.
The negro waited at the side of the
\ building, and as the little girl came
I out and started down the street in
\ advance of her mother, he took hold
OF her hand and began leading her
| away, with promises of delicacies that
appealed to her childish fancy. In
4 stead of becoming frightened at the
negro, the youngster implicitly relied
\ IL. what he said. Taking down the all
leys well out of sight of pedestrians
on the streets, no one detected the
attempted kidnapping.
\ The mother of the child missed her
when she started home, but supposed
that she had gone on. A search of the
neighborhood proved that she was not
there. The police were notified and
search was instituted. In the mean
time the negro had led his captive
Through alleys down to the Santa Fe
tracks and thence to the Irving Place
park, where he became frightened by
approaching footsteps and, dropping
the hand of the child, broke into a
run, saying he would soon be back.
The little girl then became fright
cred and decided to trying and find
her way home if possible by follow
ing the path through the park. After
walking some distance and not know
ing which way to go to return home
she stopped at house and asked to
be taken home. The mother was i'm
mediately notified, and the police pa
troll and Detective Green were rushed
to the house Immediately A search
of he.park and vicinity failed to re-
veal the whereabouts of the negro
and up to late hour last night he
had evaded arrest although SOUND
of police worked in the vicinity where
he would most likely be found for sew
eral hours.
1t is thought the child was kidnapped
with the intention of holding her for
a ransom as the parents are well to
do people.-Pueblo Chieftain.

EXPERIENCE OF
TWO 0KLAHOMANS
Arrested on Trip to Venezuela And
Thrown Into Prison--AalIowed
to Escape by officer.

Tulsa, Okla.a Dec. 19.-Thrilling in
deed was the experience undergone in
Venezula a short time ago, by G. S.
Brown, foreman, and gang of iron
workers, all of Tulsa, who were en-
gagged in construction of a group of
huge steel storage tanks for Trinidad
Asphalt, on the Isle of Trinidad, near
Briton. Brown and his companions,
were arrested on suspicion of having
come to stlrt a revolution, were held
prisoners for three days and denied
the priyil, ge of appealing to their
friends. They were finally permitted
to escape by friendly officer of the
guard over them, who took an interest
in the Oklahoma workmen, because
he had found brother lodgman in the
party
Brown and his workmen, were sent
to Trinidad by the Tulsa Boiler and
Sheet Iron Works, to build the tanks
contracted for by New York con-
cern, and one Sunday the foreman and
eleven workmen, made a sight seeing
trip to Venezuela in smaller lighter,
intending to visit the city of Caracas.
They had barely set foot on the Vene-
zuelan shore than they were seized by
native soldiers and rushed off to an
army prison, without being given a
reason for such action.
The Oklahomans treated their arrest
more as joke at first, but after three
days they were advised that they were
suspected of having revolutionary de-
signs, and were therefore to be taken
to an insulated interior prison.
1t was then the Tulsa workmen be-
gan to figure on way out of their pre-
carious predicament, and finally dis
covered that one of the guards was o
brother lodgman. After secret con-
ference with them, he promised them
a chance to escape and offered to pro-
vide a boat in which they could leave
the country. Late that night he made
good his pledge and the twelve Amer
leans returned to the Isle of Trinidad.
Upon arriving at Trinidad, they
found their camp in great excitement,
their fellow workmen fearing they had
met with foul play, and steps had been
taken to acquaint the state depart
ment of the case.
Foreman Brown, one of the hardest,
and most intrepid lot of workmen en-.
gagged in the oil industry in the world
will leave shortly for the unbroken
wilds of Wyoming where they will con
struct series of huge steel storage
tanks in the newly discovered oil fields
of that state.
