The Manicure

icure ady. He met her at
q lecture on poetry and other pastimeS
the other night. and I guess she must
be different from most If the sutfra-
gettes that 7 have saw. because VII
fred says she is a queen and that she
walks in beauty like the night what
ever kind OF way TO walk that is. lie
don't call her hair hair at all, he calls
il her tresses. and instead of talking
about her swell lamps he says she has
Hwptd 0rbs I have had a Tot Of ad-
ni@ers. George. but none Of the gents
; that ever shined up TO me called my eyes
orbs That orb line of talk might
have went in the old days, but plain
talk and good hankrou wins more OF
us trusting girls nowadays.
It's funny, George. how love will diff
fer a man. The girl a fellow loves can
make him change his mind quicker than
he changes his tie. wilfred used TO be
fierce against the sufrag ettes. He wrote
a battle hymn. he called II, for all the
men to sing. a kind OF a bark against
women even daring TO think Of having
the sacred right Of the ballot
Il guess he didn't get no men TO sing
it. but it was an awful panning for tho
girls that wanted to vote And the
! time the suffragettes had their parade
| through the city not very long ago. VII
fred ran along with the rest Of the cut
ups and roasted the walking women as
| hard as he could. That was always
/ Wnfred's speed anyhow and told him
so that night when he got home all tired
and hoarse, and the next time he asked
me for a FIVE and turned him down fiat.
| We'll anyhow, as ! was saying. this
new girl of his has got him shouting
| for what she calls the cause, and he
and father had a regular row at the
/ table last night. The old gent amt so
I good a talker as Wilfred but he had
! something on brother because he kept
all the time throwing up 10 wilfred
/ how he used to knock the very cause
/ that he IS plugging for now. There
| amt much comeback 10 that kind Of
| arguments, and after while Wilfred
/ shut up. The row all started over a
! fool poem that WHfred wrote last
night called Vote, Fair Woman. Vote
brought it down TO read IT to you"
You didn't have 10 do that" said
! the Head Barber.
But please listen. George" implored
the Manicure Lady. "On the level, this
/ is so bad il Is good. Listen:
| Vote, fair woman. vote,
That right must not he denied to
YOU
Men try to trample on thy throat
And often they have lied to you.
From where the vast Pacific rolls
To where the Atlantic holds each
boat
Let US shout this cry a million souls,
Vote, fair woman, vote,
| Vote, fair woman vote
There IS no reason why you
shouldn't
Gladly would I take off my coat
And work for YOU, only l couldn't
I have so many tasks to do
The same as any well known poet.
But this I ever shall sing to you.

NEWCOMER
Almost Results in Free Gas to
domestic Consumers
for a Month.

Harry NJ. Brown, ,Jr.. is the latest
newcomer here. The stork brought
him to the home OF Mr. and Mrs.
Harry NJ. Brown in the Hardy apart
ments last night. The youngster is
a welcome citizen as 1T is certain that
he will follow in his fathers footsteps,
thus becoming a live wire business
man and a genial good fellow.
The proud father as general man
ager of the Clarksburg Light and Heat
Company to show his appreciation Of
the stork's visit was with much diff
entity persuaded not to issue an exc
cutive order providing for free gas
ia all domestic consumers for per-
lod OF thirty days. Not until after he
was shown that such a proceeding
would bankrupt the company did he
recede from his original intention
In lieu OF that he drew heavily on
his bank account and Increased his
usual liberality among his friends
who are legion and celebrated to the
health, happiness and prosperity OF
the junior Brown.
Mrs. Browns many lady friends are
rejoicing with her and the baby is a
bouncing. healthy and handsome
youngster.

T7iehtine tIle ParceI Post.

El&nE1neS TIE k-aAEGSl POSI-
1t vas not to be expected. says the
Pittsburg dispatch, that the plan TO
rednee parcel post rates, Increase the
weight limit and otherwise make it
more useful to the public would es-
cape Congressional opposition. The
Dispatch accurately discerns the at
titude OF the general public regard
ing such opposition, as follows:
The point Is now raised that the
law does not give the postmaster
general power to reduce rates. that
the act is ungTammatical and unin-
teIligible and anyway that the au-
thority over rates should rest with
Congress. III it does not it is pro-
posed to see that 1t does, SO as to
prevent Mr.. Burleson from putting
his reduction into effect
The public does not care a rap
about the issue over authority. 1t Is
Iequally unconcerned about the gram
mar of the act unless it is made the
pretext for defeating the popular
wishes. But everyone, except the ex-
press companies and their friends, is
directly and Immediately interested
in any plan that viii make the par
eel post more generally useful.
The only. question Is whether the
proposed reductions will be justified
by the revenues. The obstruction
lists assert they will not and that
this VIII mean a heavy loss to the
government. The postmaster gener-
al, 1t may he presumed, has consid-
cred this, point fully and his assur-
ance that on the contrary 1t will
make a profit Is entitled to the weight
of his authority. The express com
panies, 1t is argued, now carry the
profitable larger packages, while the
postofice is restricted to the. less
profitable smaller parcels. The new
rates are expected to correct this.
1t must be remembered that the
original rates were experimental.
The popular success of the system
has justified that experiment. the
public Is ready for another expert
ment such as Mr.. Burleson proposes,
and can not forget that Congress was
as hesitant about starting the system
at all as it is now over the new rates.
Opposition to the plans will be
jealousy scrutfnized.
