Which-Woman or Man?

From Ohio State Journal.
We heard a handsome damsel say
she wished she were a man. What
could have put that foolish notion in
her head? She is far better off being
a woman. The world was made for
her. What would an automobile
amount to without her? Or matinee
or a soda fountain, or a summer resort,
or a street railway? There would be
none of those if it were not for the
woman. And think how much fun
she has dressing and putting on style.
And think of those afternoon maps,
and how much serene JOY she gets
out Of crocheting and embroidery.
Why a woman's life is only one delight
after another.
But man-what has he got to
shout over? Not a thing; nothing but
anxiety for the woman, lest she fall
into some automobile OF disappoint-
ment. See an auto 60 by, filled with
women 10 the brim, all wearing coun-
tenances Of satisfaction and delight.
Notice the man-how weary and
downcast he looks. That gaze of his
is stern and fretful. but the woman
beams with joy The man is doomed
to despair, lie is a slave to his desk,
machine or counter. He saves every
nickel for his wife to spend. If she
says she wants a player piano or bull
dog, he gets them. His whole life is a
steady effort TO please her-that is if
he is any sort of man.
The idea OF a lovely damsel prefer
ring to be a man is ridiculous. We are
not taunting her with her beautiful
fate, but only celebrating the good for
tune to which she is abundantly EMIT
led. No, no dear lady, continue to be
a lady and be somebody and worth
living for.

difficulty about this opening seems TO
be that comparatively few hospitals are
large enough to afford both manag-

these circumstances one can readily
understand why the position of house

4 LITTLE MORE AND LITTLE

A LITTLE MORE AND \ LITTLE
LESS
A little more deed and little less
creed;
A little more giving and a little less
greed.
A little more bearing of other peoples
A little more Godspeed on the dusty
A little less thorn and little more
To sweeten the air and tighten the
blows;
A little more song and little less
glum:
A CHEEKY word for the tramp from the
slum;
A little less kicking the man that's
down,
A little more smile and a little less
frown
A little more of the Golden Rule for
others;
A little more charity for burdened
brothers;
A little less care for wives not your
own;
A little less reaping what you have
sown;
A little less knocking and little more
cheer;
For the struggling fellow that's left in
the rear;
A little more love and a little less hate;
little more neighborly chat at the
gate;
A little more flowers in the pathway
of life;
