! An interesting reprint from the
New York Tribune, 1914, which
was reproduced in the Literary
Digest of the same year, was en-
titled, why We Oppose Pockets
For, Women. This ridiculing
script appeared in the midst of
the Woman's Suffrage fight and,
/ think, is equally apropos today
in Florida, when married women
are asking to be permitted to
handle their own property, as
they handled it before they were
married.
Why We Oppose Pockets For
Women" follows. Read it and
laugh with me.
l.. Because pockets are not a
natural right.
2. Because the great majority
of women do not want pockets.
If they did, they would have
Z them.
3. Because whenever women
have had pockets they have not
used them.
4. Because women are ex-
pected to carry enough things as
it is without the additional bur-
den of pockets.
5. Because it would make dis
sension between husband wife
as to whose pockets were to be
filled.
6. Because it would destroy
mems chivalry toward women if
he did not carry all her things in
his pockets.
Z. Because men are men and
women are women. We must not
fly in the face of nature.
8. Because pockets have been
used by men to carry tobacco,
pipes, whisky TASKS, chewing
gum and compromising letters.
We see no reason to suppose that
women would use them more
wisely.

THE RIVER SINGS
In, ripping tones the river sings
To all who hear its murmuringS,
For each it has a different theme;
1t tells the lad of spotted Dream
And flashing silver fingerlings.
With eyes alight like woodland
Springs
Rejecting stars, the maiden clings
To melodies of loves fair dream
In ripping tones.
The old man thinks of what life
brings
To proletariat and kings
And longs to know a way to
scheme
With death, until the limpid
stream
ConfideS how dragon7flies get
wings
In ripping tones.

beth Buchanan, late of Garrett
County, Maryland, deceased, and
the unknown heirs of Elizabeth
Buchanan, late of Garrett County,

No. 3461 Equity. In the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, Maryland.
The purpose of this suit is to OBJ
tain a decree for the sale of the real
estate of which Elizabeth Buchanan,
late of Garrett County, Maryland de-
ceased, died seized and possessed, for
the payment of claims against her es-
tate.
The bill states:-
That Elizabeth Buchanan, in her
lifetime, was indebted unto number
of persons on sundry accounts as
shown by certified copy of the list of
claims proved and passed in the Or
phans' Court for Garrett County,
Maryland, and that being so indebted
she departed this life during the
month of March, 1886, intestate, leav-
ing no known heirs; that letters Of
administration on the personal estate
of the said Elizabeth Buchanan were
granted to Walter w. Dawson by the
Orphans Court for Garrett County,
Maryland, and after disposing of the
personal property he applied the pro-
ceeds realized therefrom to the pay
ment of funeral expenses and other
small preferred claims, but that the
personal estate was not sufficient to
discharge all the debts against said
decedent; t hat the said Elizabeth
Buchanan, at the time of her death,
was the owner of Lot No. 1011 on the
Plat of Mountain Lake Park, which
was conveyed to her by a series of con-
veyances mentioned in the Bill of
Complaint, and copies thereof filed
with the same; that title to said prop
erty was vested in said Elizabeth
Buchanan as sole owner and out of this
the plaintiffs now seek payment Of
the claims against her estate.
The bill then prays that the real
estate as aforesaid of Elizabeth Buck
man may be sold for the payment Of
all unsatisfed claims against said dec
edent, for general relief, for the writ
of subpoena against the said Walter
w. Dawson and for an order of publ
cation against the unknown heirs OF
said Elizabeth Buchanan.
