PHILOSOPHY OF WAIT MASON

I know a huw- rtf txmsela fair. I whose spirit greatly I admire; they have the nerve t® and. dare, they’re full of patrJrcfe fire. There’s one of them sb passing sweet, she’d make The fetriiEses: fraus, and wen are always at irfc feet with talk of rings and marriage- row. Whoever gets her in the em£ will have to bear the marks ®f strife; she-'H be a sister or a crsemc to others, but I she won’t be wife. ‘TH never wed a man who shirts., wto does not, ■ when his country raiasC -ke says, blow out a works with shrapnel, bombs -nr mmuaniballs.’' I know some men wear a scowl when facing some grra-T sacrifice; ; and men there are wto raise a howl whenever they cig np the- price. But all the womst sitae I know are thoroughbreds. ®T spirit high, their one regret that they can’t go and show us how 1® meet amd die. A man win wonder where he’s at when for a bond he tie rocks; his wife will soak her Sttmday hat to buy some yam frc ssfifSers socks. A man will sink sf he must use some substitute fee leaf er cheese; his wife will auEtlnr ®tf her shoes, and barefoot g© to bees.
