Mill1onaires are not the only people who have tainted money. Every now and then you get hold of dollar bill that a poor man has been carrying around in his sock.
 If there was as much kissing at home as there is at the depot there wouldn't be so many divorces.
 There is a silver lining to every cloud. The hot weather that makes the girls expose the elbows also makes them don the see-mores.
 If we could see ourselves as others see us we would hotfoot it to an ocu7 list and have our eyes examined.
 This would be fine world if people were as polite all the time as they are when they are trying to sell you some thing.
 If you want to get anywhere you will have to use some elbow grease and crank up. Opportunity isn't going to come along and equip you with a self starter.
 When a man has a twin sister he is often forty years old when she is only twenty-five.
 A woman may admit that she can't sing, but she will get mad if you even hint that she hasn't sense of humor.
 After they have been married about twenty years and mother weighs about 25O pounds and has shape like a box car and moves around like a long shoreman she often reminds father that there was time when he held her on his knees and called her his baby doll. And then father goes down into the cellar and kicks the lining out of the furnace.
 The dignity of labor sounds good at mass meeting, but it hasn't the same appeal when you see the chauffeur of a garbage wagon holding down his job.
 Every woman imagfnes that she is the only woman who has to get along without things that she needs, but there are mighty few women who are not disappointed at least once an hour.
 When spring is blending to summer there are days when man goes down town in the morning covered with prickly heat and comes home at mid night covered with goose pfnples.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE AND OTHER LAWS RELATING TO FEMALES

and Wyoming. Maine wrote into her statutes ffty-four hours a, week law for both women and. boys under six teen, working in mills factories and 1aundries. It stipuIates that such employees shall not work more than nine hours a day unles for the sole purpose of permitting a, shorter ched- u1e for, one day in the week. Massa- chusetts legisIated to prohibit the working of women and children over time for the purpose of making up for the time lost on a legal holiday. Wyoming enacted for her working women an eight-hour day; and both maximum hour and minimum wage laws for women were passed by Kan sas. A bill providing for minimum wage for women in Michigan was killed in committee, although the commission appointed by Governor Ferris two years ago to investigate the subject returned a strong report in favor of the enactment of such a law .1 ..e.
 New Mexico. passed an act increas- ing the property right of the wife and Wyoming in this particular .plac- bed wife and husband on an equal footing. New Jersey authorized the appointment of women policemen. Oergon forbade discrimination be- tween male and female school teach CTS in the payment of salaries. An attempt in California, to enact a, law to forbid women to shake dice for money or prizes was defeated. So was a. bill providing for women jur- ors.

 choIzed back a sob And went into a paint store and applied
 there for a job. She had been out of work for weeks, and
 she was feeling faint, And so the boss gave her q job at filling
 cans with paint The paint was red and this poor girl
 knew that her face white. So now and then she'd take some paint
 and make her cheeks look bright She worked all day and toiled real hard,
 for she did need that place, But when she'd i'll with paint, she'd
 put some on her face. That night when work was done the
 boss checked up the cans she'd filled. And found six gallons of red paint was
 either lost or spilled. He hunted for the missing paint as any man would do, Until he saw the girls bright cheeAs-and
 then he got clew. He got some turpentine and then the
 girls cheeks he did rub, And when the paint was softened it ran
 down into a tub, s And soon the whole six gallons that was
 missing was right there. You're fired for stealing this here paint!''
 the boss then did declare. The poor girls face was pale again, and
 she did heave a sigh, And, as she faced that cruel boss, she did
 make this reply: Chorus: T am an honest working girl and your
 words bring disgrace I borrowed them six gallons to put color
 in my face. And I would never steal no paint from
 any stingy geeks Who'd fire a girl who tried to put some
 roses in her cheeks!'
