THOSE UNEQUAL RIGHTS.
Why Women Should Not Ask For
More of Those Desired Privileges.

The editor of the Henry County
Democrat at Clinton, Mo-, must have
been busily waving a palm leaf fan
when he indited this:
women demand equal rights with
men. What does a woman have to
wear during the oppressive dog days?
Zone low-necked, sleeveless, mos
quito netting gown.
Zone pair silk stockings.
/. Zone pair slippers.
That's all.
"What does man wear during the
said dog days?
One coat.
zone vest.
zone pair trousers.
Zone shirt with ,starched collar.
Zone pair shoes.
."One union suit.
lone hat.
Zone pair suspenders.
Zone necktie.
"If he takes off his coat in a. hot
restaurant he is thrown out. If he
takes his tight collar off, he's a rube.

knee, he would be sent to the insane
asylum.
