MAN, SMALL MAN!
Feminine Poll Clerk Learns All
 About Him.
the Superiority of the So-caIIed Sterner Sex.

The amateur poll clerk, who was likewise an ardent feminist, returned to her home on election night tired, but af1utter with excitement as a re- suit of her first attempt at checking prospective voters. AS she entered the house the first persons to greet her were her brother and her fiance, both of whom had the obnoxious habit of poking fun at her efforts to uphold the dignity of her sex t2s ..sa-.
 You will rant to me about the su- periority of man, will youT' she de manded militantfy, according to the New York Sun. Well, let me tell you that 1t takes day at the polls to prove what's what. Until now I've had to submit to your insults because l had no way to prove my point, but now l know all about you great big splendid men. Don't you ever dare to tell me again that women aren't the equal of men in every way or that you are any more competent to run the country than we are"
 AS, she paused a moment for breath her dual audience seized the oppor- tunity to get a word in edgewise and demanded, as one man, to be told the reason for this unexpected tirade.
 ''I'n tell you all about It," she re piled. You know that the law, since women have won the vote, has been remodeled so that voters in stating their ages need say nothing more, than Over thirty That, according to you men, Is permitted out of deference to a silly old superstition that we women dislike to tell our ages. Ha ha @<
 "One of the first voters today was old MT. Jones. He's so old he needs a companion to guide him about the street. When I asked him his age he said Over thirty and he, has been that for the last fifty years at least.
 ''Then, a little later, young Jack Mersereau came in. Every one knows this Is only his second vote, yet he had the unprecedented. nerve to stand there and tell me he was over thirty There's your male supremacy. All. he wanted was to have me go out and tell the girls he Is over thirty, suppose, so that he can pose as a blase man about town.
 ! Why, there. were just as many men as women who refused to state their true ages. Whatever their reasons might be, I'm sure could never guess. Now, with women it's different. They must always seem to be young or else they will lose out in the social world and be regarded as old dowagers, to be summed by all the younger set"
 With a total disregard of the mascu- line grin occasioned by this explana- tion the amateur poll clerk continued, her ardor unchecked:
 Tt would be different, of course, if the men had any real reason for want ing to conceal their ages, but under the circumstances it seems to me that such actions betoken an exceedingly low rate of intelligence"
 Then, without giving her audience chance to come to its own support, she ran up the stairs to her room to make a quick change before dinner.
