There has allers been plenty of

"cat-half rbit", about looking

' ' Women 's sphere !M
Wheu I hear one of these anti
suffrageits screw up his . mouth
till it resembles the snout of a
stud-grubworm and jingles his
leather cow-bell about women's
"sphere," I can't help' but won

heard people talking about the!
sugar industry being ruined
that it would be so . cheap . it
would float on top of your coffee.
But now the sugar barons have
proven to you that the tariff
hasn t a blamed thing to do with
the, price of sugar. Recently the
price-has been doubled showing
inai -u? law ox suppiy anu : ue
mand plays no part in fixing , the
prices of our commodities.) The
price is set by the infernal barons
and we must pay it or do without
it. 4 , ' - ; , :
' .Now let's see if you ever knew
a game like that to. be played in
,the ; price . of ; , postage stamps.
tamps and sugar are botn made

ma laooivy oiams are uoi xuaue
