The Kings Daughters suffered a
loss in yesterdays fire, he extent of
which could not be learned last night.

HUMOROUS QUIPS.
The Suffragette Elarch.


The s~unragettes went swinging by
One hundred thousand strong,
While from a million throats the cheers
Came ringing loud and long.
On, they we're proud as past they marched
With banner. horse and band
To make the man ruled universe
Awake and understand!
The battle light was in their eyes,
And stately was their gait.
The elite of the woman world
Were very much elate,
For dawn OF freedom doomed ahead,
Reflected In their pose.
At last the sodden male should learn
What every woman knows.
No mora should husbands make the rules
And brothers break the laws.
The columns flung defiance In
Their battle cry. ~"Because!"
Those Amazons OF old Japan
Who hewed their way to fame,
II they might look how would they hide
Their futile heads in shamel
A murmur swept the serried ranks,
But whence il came or how
1t paied the cheeks OF hundreds;
1t roughed each suffrage brow:
1t grew into a whiriwtnd shrek
That rang from street TO house;
II burst with laundering horror
"A mousei A mouse! A mouse!'
Into strong arms, although despised,
The ~faintlng women fell.
The anguish OF that panic wild
What subtle pen can tell?
Henccforth when quadrupeds are praised
AS friends of iordly man
Let us ignore the lowly mouse
With s~corning-if we can.
