munty, says that if the legislators wereha half as wise a he is they could have
saved themselves a heap of grief. How? By giving the adies-God-ahem
bless 'em-the vote long before they did. Sol declares that here in Wy
omng where the women never had the pleasure of fighting for suffrage, but
females don't car a whit more about going to the polls than the men do.
And that even when lie is up for school director, he cn hardly get hisw wife
to quit boiling soap n crocheing boudor caps long enough to get ut and

that when the whole country was to-be-or-not-o be ing wei the 18th Amend

And so, to her everlasting shame, the woman las " been ablet o boast

Mrs. Solomon G. Prod believes in giving her children advice and letting
them take the consequences; Last Sunday when she "a visiting her daugh-
ter Airline, who "a married at Christmas time and had just gone to house
keeping, she admonished the girl a follows: "If you have a hard time start
ing the fire in the range, just throw in about a cup of kerosene, and that
will whoop it up quick Then she added as IN aftHthought: "Of course if
you aren't real careful about it you may burn the house down-but then

in is OF likely to be either convincing o consolng. However, since Mrs
