Why We Oppose Pockets For Women.

1. Because pockets are not natur-
al right
?. Because a great majority of wo-
men do not want pockets. If they
did, they would have them.
,. Because whenever woman have
lad pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as it is withcu
the additional burden of pockets.
5. Because it would make dissen-
sion between husband and wife as to
whose pockets were to be filled.
6. Because it would destroy mans
chivarly toward woman if he did not
have to carry all her things in his
pockets.
Z. Because men are men and wo-
men are women. We must not fly in
the face of Nature.
8. Because pockets have been
used by men to carry tobacco, pipes,
whisky TASKS, chewing gum and COM
promising letters We see no reason
to suppose that women would use
them more wisely.-Kansas City Star.

He quit treating them ms companions
and served their food each day with II
great show of violence
Then the whole matter was explain
cd. He went out to the coop early In
the morning and found that the hens
had company. In the yard were
dozen squirrels and bali hundred
birds including quail, blueiays and
smaller birds These hungry callers
were eating ravcnously of everything
that remained. while the fresh egg pro
ducers of the farm stood hnck sulcnly
and without any show of enthusiasm
regarded the callers. The birds ANA

came toward the coop, but returned

threw great mass of feed out for
the hens and almost apologized to them
for his late conduct toward them

Say New Haven Is Close to
Point Where Anti Trust Suit
Will Be Filed Against Road

WASHINGTON. March 13.-Officials
of the department of justice and the
New Haven Railroad resumed confer
ences today in an effort to find plan
acceptable to both sides for the dis
solution of the system.
Although Attorney General Me-
Reynolds and his assistants were still
hopeful that the New Haven repre-
sentatives would see their way clear
to meet the demands of the depart
ment, it was conceded that the nego-
tiations had reached a critical stage,
and that further delay on the part
of the road might lead to a filing OK
an antitrust suit for dissolution by
a courts decree.
The principal points of difference,
it was said, involved the length OF
service of the trustees who are to
take over and dispose of the Boston
and Maine stock now owned by the
New Haven and the disposition of the
New Haven trolley lines. Mr. Nc
Reynolds prefers that the trustees
shall serve not more than two years.
with a possibility of a two-year con-
tnuation If the court shall find thg
first period insufficient. New Haven
representa- tives were inclined to insist
upon a three-year trusteeship, with
the option of three-year extension
IL found necessary.
Inability to get together on that
point may lead to a breach. The
financial condition of both the New
Haven and the Boston and Maine
figured largely in the attitude of both
sides in the conference.
