It was in 1878 when she first left the

could not resist trying the new SEN

She did this without the knowledge

Men, Dodge Age Proposition.

Service of women citizens on the reg.
istration boards leads to interesting
personal revelations about Their
neighbors.
A man who holds a position In tie
city government had always. given LIS
real age, now 4S, before women sat On
the boards. When his wife went in
TO register for the first time one Of the
women on the board said to her:
"Oh, Mrs. Blink, isn't your husband
an old codger?"
"Why, no." said Mrs. Blank. Il don't
think al is so very old"
But he registered as A."
Silence fell and Mrs. Blank entered
the booth to fill out her enrolment BAL
lot.
Next year, when the husband en-
tered the registration place and was
asked by a man on the board his age,
he replied, "42." --.~.~~.
The woman whose undue interest
had evidently caused a family Bible
meeting looked at him and her look

down. and so the record stands:-New

HE is just consumer, your honor;
Just a private citizen, man who ap-
parently belongs to the middle class,

being questioned, he told the inspector,
with loud and unseemly laugh, that

Of reliefs, governments, etc., and with
ALL this burden he was forced to~ray
25 cents a pound for sugar, 500 a

other things in proportion. And so,

started private drive Of his own, an

he was not an unkind man. j:
"Poor wretch" he said. DO not
