Making an Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Enemies of votes for women, in
search of arguments to confound the
orators of the case, may use for what
it is worth the following incident
which happened in Madison square
one day last week:
young woman of pleasing and pic
turesque aspect came northward from
Twenty-third street across the square.
She struggled under the weight of a
dog-hamper, and inside one could see
a bright-eyed, restless fox terrier ca
ger to be let out. The woman carried
a leash in her left hand, and the dog
had on a collar with a snap. An in
terested observed followed the woman.
She struggled on six blocks up Madi-
son avenue before she reached her
destination, a residence on the east
side of the street. Then she unlocked
the hamper, snapped the leash on the
dogs collar, and took him inside the
house. Why had she carried an able
bodied, 25-pound fox terrier, who want
ed to be let out, all that distance?-

Every tradition associated with
that Easter flower, the iris, makes
It a beauty of richest promise. 1t
signifies a message and, because 1t
grows in every part of the world, 1t
is a universal message. The Greeks
named it for the rainbow, but the
Egyptians lay special claim to the
flower.
1t is the plant spoken of in Exodus
as being the hiding place Of the in
FAINT Moses when he lay in the era

som. 1t may be that the flowers
whispered to him then that his des-
tiny was to lead his people to the
promised land The ancient Egyp-
tians placed the iris on the brow OF
the sphinx and on the sCcpters of
their mouarchs, and among all the
eastern nations it has ever been the
symbol of power Another land that
highly honors it is France. for it is
the veritable Aeur-de-lis that figures
on the arms of this country. But
there is most beautiful legend that
makes the iris a sacred flower as
well as a national emblem. The
story tells that it was a trembling,
agonized witness of the crucifixion.
When it heard the anguished cry,
MY God. my God why hast thou
forsaken me?" it sobbed out the
vow. "Henceforth I will perpetually
mourn. and. lest man should ever
lose sight of this solemn hour, above
my golden chalice l will carry a

The Pueblos, it is reasonably GER
