MAYOR WAS FIRED BODILY

HEALTH LECTURER FIRES TWO MALE INTRUDERS WITHOUT CEREMONY. Louise Mclntyre, a chautauqua lecturer and a director of feminine physical culture, has a large class of women in training in this city. On account of, the fact that the country is to go dry next July and dt is expected that the husbands will hang around home more, the women, who have always been able to get the best of all oral arguments, are preparing, if necessary, to hold physical supremacy of the domiciles also.

Knowing of this move on the part t of the women of the city our mayor, Charles G. Spitler, invited one of RensseJaer’s best samples of physical manhood to accompany him to the place where the women had planned to hold a secret meeting all their own With no men to be near. The mayor’s companion, George M. Myers, adviqed him that the meeting was for women only and that they had better not attempt to intrude. But the mayor insisted that he should know the doings of women and finally persuaded his companion to accompany him to the place of meeting. Without giving a rap or any other allarm at the door the mayor boldly entered the church in which the secret session of the females was being 1 leld. His companion was not so >old and followed very cautiously. The mayor seated himself in a very erect attitude and as if he expected to remain for the whole show; his companion was very meek at his side and seemed ready to make a flying exit at the first indication of displeasure from the women. But one look from the Sharp-eyed ady who occupied the platform, the mayor’s attitude changed, and at the first word of the sentence, “Why do you men intrue?” he became thoroughly alarmed and began to make As get-away, saying that he had >een persuaded to enter the meeting by his companion, Myers. Some people who went by the church when the men were making their escape were very much alarandand feared the building was on fire or that the men were being pursued by thieves or robbers or 'both. Never again will these two men molest another meeting of the fairer sex.
