To the New Converts.

To the New Converts.
Ladies, whose conversions date
Rather late,
Who but now have understood
That the cause of womanhood
Is not alien, and unknown,
But your own.
Ladies, who can recollect,
suspect,
That you once stood by and Knocked,
And were elegant and shocked,
And were naughty and remote
From the vote.
Just because in bygone years
Your own sneers,
Your own clinging with such passion
To the side you thought the fashion
Made the work so hard to do
For the few.
Now, when everything is pleasant,
AS at present,
Now that ridicule is not
Universally our lot,
Now that every public man
Tries to please us all he can,
Ladies, don't you think you owe
More, because you were so slow?
Just because you used to shirk,
Get to work!

He: Of course they're not. They are
too intelligent. In fact, they are
two of the most sagacious men in
the country; and this was just
case of political expediency.
She: Oh, was it politically expedient to
say they were in favor?
He: Yes, that is the only reason they
said so.
She: But, George, dear, l don't under

He: No, dearie, there's no reason why
you should trouble your pretty

She But, George, women don't want
the vote, do they?
He: The sane majority don't want it,

She: And they have more influence in
politics without the vote, haven't
they?
He: Infinitely more, and most of them
have sense enough to know it.

He: No, they won't.
She Moreover, each one of that major
ity has in the indirect influence
more powerful weapon than any
one of the minority, who have only
the ballot?
He: Exactly so, my love.
She: And moreover, George, you have
often told me that women don't
vote when they can.
He: No more they do, my dear.
She: Then, George, dear, the situation
seems to be that the two most
politically sagacious men in the
country have alienated an ire
sistible majority for the sake of
gaining the good will of an incon-
siderable minority who never use
the little power they have anyhow.
He: Exactly so, my dear. Very we'll
put.
She: But in that case, George, don't you
think men had better give up
politics and turn it all over to
women?

Big Crowd Sees Ruskin's Exhibit of Animals From
 All Over World

What was undoubtedly the most un- usual exhibition. or entertainment, ever given in Birmingham. was witnessed by a full house at the BiJou theatre yesterday afternoon in the opening presentation of the s25o,o "Close-to-Nature'' films-not- withstanding the downpour of rain.

 members of the various Ruskin parties
 met violent deaths, cost in excess o
 $c50, 600, and visits to every continental

 marks by Dr. Ruskin. opens with scenes in India. showing Dr. Ruskin in how dah on the back of a gigantic elephant said elephant breaking, or blowing, a pathway through the Indian jungle.
