London. April 1S.-An amusing
story is told of Mrs. Waldorf Astor's
siX-year-old son, Gill; and who has
inst returned from the United States.
He was very anxious to possess a
model of the vessel but his mother
was not willing to buy it for him and
he thought out plan of his own to
obtain the money. He drew sketches
of soldiers and sailors and ships and
then sold them to the passengers in
the vessel, thus realizing enough to
enable him to become the owner of
the model.

Winding the looms from the dawn
til the night;
To deal with schoolful OF c!:1r.Sen

Doesn't unsex her in any ones
sight;
Work in a stOre-where her back
aches inhumanly-
Doesn't unsex her at all, you will
note.
But think how exceedingly rough and
unwomanly
Woman would be if she happened to
vote!
To sweat in a laundry that's torrid
and tOrrider
Doesn't subtract from her womanly
charm;
And scrubbing the flags in an echoing
corridor
Doesn't unseX her-so where is the
harm?
1t doesn't unsex her to nurse us with
bravery,
Loosing deaths hand from its grip
on the throat;
But all, how the voices grow quivery
quavery,
Wailing: "Alas, twill unsex her to
vote!"
She's feminine still when she juggles
the crockery,
Bringing you blithely the order you
give;
Toll in a sweatshop where life is a
mockery
Just for the pittance on which she
can live
That doesn't seem to unseX her a
particle,
Labor is noble'-so somebody
But ballots are known as dangerous
article,
Womans unsexed if you give her
the vote!

their work would indicate. Their
fault is that they are satisfied with
less than their best.
Their limitations are in the fore
front, instead of being absorbed by
their work They fail to make the eff
fort to live up to the best there is in
them They shirk responsibility with
out knowing it. This becomes 'hab

JUMPED AT CONCLUSION.
Farmer Loses Pig as Well as His
Money.

Paris, April 1S.-A farmer named
Rieu in the south of France, dropped
his pocket-book, full of banknotes, IN
his farmyard.
when he discovered his loss he
found the pocketbook ripped open, by
the side of one of his finest fat pigs.
M. Rieu at once jumped to the con-
clusion that the pig had eaten the
notes and killed the animal To his
despair, however. he found no signs OF
the bank-notes and he has thus lost
not only his money but also his pig.
