Where the pessimist bowls,
And the winds of misery blow?

If you heard them kick,
For they scatter some rank abuse.

And the limbs are dead,
On the tree of Fraternity.

And the USED to Be" rust,
And hustle to beat the hand.

Editor Progressive.-I was at

heard Mrs. Oliphant, who pic
tured the duties and response
bilities of citizenship in Hurled
colors. She seemed to think we
women are weddings who are
afraid Of men.
She spoke of mixed lures.
Why, | think that would be all
right. We could have a good
time with other women's hus-
bands, and no one know any
thing about it as jurors are not
permitted to tell what takes
place in the jury room.
We don't care if we do only
represent 10 per cent of the
women, if you men will give us
the ballot, we will show you how
to paint the town red.
| wont be "bossed" by any
man that is why | don't live

Talk about the Bible saying
that the man should rule over
the women; that part of it is
a fake.

vote for suffrage and we jolly
old gals will show you good
time.

sincerity into his compliment Rose
Brett, splendid to look at, energizing
to talk with, virile in her vitality and
masterfulness, had yet the challenge
for every man of the elemental
woman. Without suggesting for a
moment the coquette, she somehow
made every man feel that he was the
most attractive man in the world
or the least
Now, Mr.. Temple, you are to live in

suddenness and finality took David's

David laughed uneasily.
L can put it to her more clearly"
she said decisively. Il shall give you
this car to meet her at the station
with. Then bring her right over to
the house with her luggage. We don't
need to lose time moving her twice.
But" David demonstrated gently
I'VE can go over all that with your
wife," Mrs. Brett smiled in the man
ner of a woman who feels she knows
best and takes it for granted that the
discussion is ended.
David saw he had will to reckon
with, a woman to humor and court if
he wanted to be a power in the Col
ony Park project; indeed, if he wanted
any place at all in it. So, man like
he spared for time by yielding for
the moment.
