From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
A lecturer was talking on the drink
question.
Now, supposing I had a pail of wa
ter and a pal of beer on this platform
and then brought on a donkey, which
of the two would he take?"
He'd take the water" came a voice
from the gallery.
And why would he take the wa

WOMEN MUST GIVE AGES.
Maryland's Board of Supervisors
Insists on Registra ton Rule.

BALTIMORE, September Is. - The
board of supervisors has decided that
women in order to register as voters
must give their ages. A bill to ex-
empt them was passed in the dying
hours of the house of representatives
during the special session of the state
legislature which ended Wednesday
night. But the senate had adjourned
sine die before the bill reached it.
During the two sittings of the reg
istration officials which were held this
week, women who refused to give
their ages were permitted to register
conditionally upon the statement that
they were over twenty-one, but the
board decides that this will not do.
