Desperate Remedy.

From the roof of a building tbe stranger looked down upon a park whose spare grass, scraggy shrubbery and stunted trees were almost trampled out of sight by a human mob that surged round a speaker’s platform in the middle of the park. "What’s up?” said the stranger. "A suffragist riot?" “Worse than that," said the guide. "The park £rass has been in a bad way for several months, and a local politician has called a mass meeting of the citizens to discuss plans for saving it.”
