Show NO MORE THAN HE DESERVED Conscienceless Interrupter of Suffragette Suffra-gette Meeting Probably a Sadder and Wiser Man. The suffragette meeting was in full blast. Enthusiasm was rampant and every remark the distinguished leader made was cheered to the echo. "And now we come to personal courage," cour-age," cried the speaker, excitedly; '"our masculine enemies try to deride us with such allusions as 'frail femininity,' fem-ininity,' or 'weaker vessels,' but we can show more bravery than men." "Aye, aye, sister!" echoed a mighty chorus. "When it comes to real danger we fear nothing." "Aye, aye, sister!" "Now, take sister Horn, our worthy fighter and vote getter of this district. She fears nothing. Two nights in succession sister Horn came home from one of our enthusiastic meetings meet-ings and found a man under her bed." There was a short pause. Then a little emaciated chap who had crept to the front unobserved arose and stretched his arms. "H'm!" he ejaculated, with a deep yawn. "I'll bet a dollar agin a plug of tobacco that man was her husband seeking safety." And when the little emaciated chap finally recovered his bearings he was on the sidewalk minus hat and collar. |
