Be kind to the missus, who spends the
long days, in making your home worth
the while, be free with encouragement,
gratitude, praise and hand her cor
pulent smile. You go to your home
from your job in the mart, and talk of
the burdens you've borne, the cares
that are racking your galvanized heart,
the ills that are making you mourn,
Sweet sympathy comes from the lips
of your wife, and love is aglow on her
face; the burdens and cares of her own
weary life have nothing to do with the
case. Suppose you forget your own
troubles and woes, and think of the
woes of the frau, whose cheeks long
ago lost the bloom of the rose, while
wrinkles increased on her brow. Sup
pose you remember the work she has
done, the endless routine of the years,
the toll from the rising to setting Of
sun, and always with work in arrears.
Suppose you remember when she was
a maid, and you were love-smitten
boy; you painted the future IN opulent
shade, and promised her comfort and
joy The missus will toll till she drops
in her tracks, and goes to the rest up
above, ignoring the pain and the strain
and the tax. and all she's expecting is
love, WALT MASON.

The Suffrage.

Men that work for living make
powerful unions for themselves and
leave the won IN out. They are even
very exact about making rules that
will prevent women from getting a
chance to do the work that they want
to keep for themselves. And as they
can vote and the woman can't, it ism
difficult.
When women manage to crowd into
some kind of work that men do, they
ask her to work little more faithfully,
little harder, than the man works
and then they pay her less than they
pay him.
Men have nicely arranged codes of
morals and good behavior for women.
1t is all right for woman to leave
her house about skin the evening. go
down to an office building and scrub
until five in the morning.
1t is alright for a mother to leave
her baby in charge of six-year- old
sister, and with the other children go
to the mill to work.
But it would be very wrong indeed
for a mother to leave her house for
twenty minutes on election day and
vote to make impossible child labor and
whiskey selling, one law for man and
another for woman, and other features
of exclusively man made laws.
Even some clergymen who think
that it is good idea for woman to
go to church at least twice each Sun
day, one hundred and four times in a
year, think it would be very bad for
her TO go to the ballot box for twenty
minutes one day in the year.
Little by little. all kinds of men have
managed to have their rights recognized
Among the early, superstitious saw
ages, there were two rulers. First,
the powerful man, strongest and ablest
in killing. He ruled with club. But
soon he shared his rule with a man not
so powerful physically. but with cum
ming brain.
This second ruler was pagan priest,
who said to the big man: "You have
strength and powernow, but can send
you to hell later. Give me half" And
the big man gave him half.
Then there were two of the crowd
ruling. A man of muscle, the king;
man of cunning, the priest.
Gradually civilization developed.
hristianity came along, and natural
rights were spread little more widely
among men.
Today we have gone so far that any
human being can vote if he is a man.
He need not own property, he need not
pay taxes, he need not be sober, he
need not have a good character. He
may be dirty, dishonest, vicious, but
if he is man he can decide with his
vote what shall be done with himself
and what shall be done with women. -

each Christmas in London, and Charles

Street" is meeting the same measure
of success as did "Peter Pan" upon
its revival. There has always been a
call for the play since it was laid
aside, and Miss Adams has been
anxious to bring it back into the light
1t was only during her present tour
that she saw her way clear to again
present the comedy. Those to whom the

At the Orpheum

1t has been many long day since
as much clever talent was crowded
into a single vaudeville offering as the
one that the Orpheum management
presents this week. This is not alone
true of the fourteen clever participants
of "Safety Fist,' the gigantic music
al comedy that heads the bill, but it
is true of each supporting attraction.
For there is pretty BOBBY" Smith
and her sister, Irene, who bid fair to
score the biggest hit of any sister team
that ever appeared at the Orpheum.
Their act is original, "classy' and
brim full of dash. They rank Just as
high as either the Courtney girls or
the Farber sisters in local favor and
deserve to. Then there is Bert Levy,
the very interesting eartoonist, who
draws from the ridiculous to the sub
lime, in very clever fashion. Some
times he viii draw an excellent like
ness of some great man, again he may
draw beautiful dog head and every
now and then inject some comedy
vein.
His way of presenting his drawings
is his own patent and il is easily the
most entertaining in vaudeville. Mr..
Levy will interest the most blaze, he
will interest the most intelligent and
stop at all the way stations. Speaking
of neat and wonderful whirlwind dane
ers, its good to think of Burns and Full
ton, the young man and woman who
are delighting Orpheum audiences i'm

At the Regent

To-day and tomorrow at the Re-,
gent Theatre, there will be paramount
program productions, by Daniel Froh-
man, the great theatrical producer We
will show Wednesday and Thursday,
May Irwin, the famous stage star, in
" Mrs. Black is Back" by George V.
Hobart AS the unfortunate but Jolly
Mrs. Black who in haste lies to her hus-
band about her age, and repents there
after at leisure, said leisure being
chiefly employed in the manufactur of
more deceptions to account for the
first. May Irwin is at her best, and
her inimitable facial expression and ex-
cellent pantomine render her art es-
pecially adaptable to the screen. The
scene following her first lie to her hus-
band, in which she learns that he never
forgives an untruth, is one of the fun
niest situations ever embodied in com
edy film production, and the grotesque
anguish of Miss Irwin is side-splitting
ly humorous. OF course, the fatal truth
at last comes out and the penitent,
Mrs. Black, leaps into an auto, about
which she understands nothing, and
runs. away. Her frantic husband sees
the machine smash, and when, after be-
ieving her gone from him forever, he
learns that she escaped injury, he is so
glad to find "Mrs. Black Is Back"
that he readily forgives her deception
and the comedy ends as comedy
should, with a laugh.-AdN. ~
