A SUFFRAGE STORY

1.-THE women of Chicago have
been fighting for fifteen
years to gain three reforms
"a garbage incinerator, a boys
court and ten police matrons for
public dance halls.
They fought in vain for all
that time.
Then they got the ballot, and
all three of these reforms were
put into effect within three
months.
Suffrage advocates are using
this as an argument for votes
for women.
1t seems perfectly good ar
gument, too.-Duluth Herald.

This, too is worth remember
ing: Christianity is not a pro-
fession. It is a possession. You
do not have it; it has you. 1t
fills your soul full of kindness,
even toward your neighbors. You
want to do for people instead of
doing them. If you are a Chris
tian you are as good one day as
any other day, if not a little bet
ter.-EX.

1t is easy enough to make
folks weep; That can be done
with onions. 1t is easy to sad
den and spoil their sleep; That
has been done by bunions. But
sharing the brief, elusive grin
And tying it under their noses
Is almost as hard as biting your
chin; Or curling your hair with
vO1r tOeSeS.-EX.

An editor of a weekly ex.
change sarcastically remarks
that he wants to buy a sack of
flour, a pair of shoes and a straw
hat, and he is ready to receive
the lowest bids for the same. He
states that some of his town
merchants treat him this way
when they want So worth of
printing done.-Lamberton Star.

panied way at my suggestions.
He tries, oh, so hard, to restrain
his contempt when l indicate my
depraved tastes. He remarks,
in hopes it will reduce me to a
proper silence, that he's been
in the shoe business for twenty
years. Finally he gets me 50

Then there is the lady who
sits next to you at dinner. Her
weapon is her smile. I wish I
could make you feel the deaden-
ing weight of that superior
shipper. For she knows it all,
and when she dies wisdom shall
die with her. She listens to your
odd views with a half amused,
half bored air. This type grows
in New England thick as hazel
bushes.

have almost to stand over him

him to do what you want. And
when he goes away he leaves
you crushed under the conscious
ness of your utter ignorance of
what's what.
Let me speak of the waiter in
the restaurant who is panied be-
yond words at the absurdity of
your order, the head waiter who
seats you where you don't want
to sit, the clothier who will force
a suit OF clothes on you that you
don't like, the physician who re-
fuses to listen to your symp-
toms, who pats your arm as if
you were a two-year-old, and
who impresses you with the fact
that you have nothing to do
with this case-it is his bust
ness, you are only the man who
is to take the medicine; and the
boy who listens with ill-con-

course respects you as a moth
