I'm rather tired---say, aren't you?--of folks
who tell me what to do. They used to bore
me in the past, before we heard the war
trump's blast; they told me how I should
behave, where l should spend, where /
should save, what / should eat, what l
should wear, how long / ought to have my
hair. Since wal has come it's getting
worse; advisers have become a curse. If l
don't do just what they say, and by their
blue prints go my way, if | don't spend

There was a story in the old school readers of a man
who caught boys stealing his apples, and these refusing
to leave the trees he threw grass at them. This not hav-
ing any effect he tried clods and then stones which forced
them to climb down and quit. This story might be read
with profit by the misguided ladies who are %picketing the
White House. There have been several arrests made, and
fines not proving sufficient to stop them jail sentences OF
twenty DAYS were tried. These too failing yesterday the
Judge in Washington before whom four of the %picketers
were brought sent them to the work house for six months.
They. or one of them claimed that this was the only man
ner in which the movement could be kept before the pub
lie. If this is correct then the quicker it ceases to appear
in public the better for the cause, for these women are
simply making themselves ridiculous and bringing the
movement into d~isrepute.
