Mr.. Freeman said: 1.-The Government

official life of this nation. She ought to have
at least 81 900 month for her very own, as
women say il. Tt was crime TO ask COM

Mrs. Harrison was frank enough TO say
bored her TO death. President Harrison was
we'll off but Mrs Harrison was not enthu-
siastic over paying Out $1,000 month, or
even more. for affairs that were Of no real
personal interest TO her.
She ought TO get direct revenue from
Congress. but, upon Congress failing, | shall
provide at least 81. 900 month for her own
