WOMEN AND MEN
"Men," she said, "are continually
asking in the newspapers the ques
tions: " 'Why does a women always want
to know if her hat is on straight?'
"'Why does she sharpen pencils
with her husband's razor?'
'"Why will she ruin a $50 gown
In a struggle to save two cents at
a bargain counter?'
"I think it iz about tlma we women
should retaliate on tho men with some
questions like these:
"'Why does a man when he fin
ishes with a newspaper always throw
it- in a heap on the floor instead of
folding it up neatly?'
" 'Why when sent to look for some
thing in bureau or closet does he
always return and say it isn't there?'
"'Why when a pretty girl praises
another man's looks does he sneer
and say the girl is soft?'
" 'Why is his Sunday morning head
ache always due to what he ate, not
to what he drank, on Saturday night?'
" 'Why as he laughs at women does
he, fail to" perceive that women find
much of the ludicrous in him?'"

THAT EXTRA SESSION
The president breaks the extra ses
sion news very neatly to Secretary
Taft in the Philippines. The secre
tary received a cablegram from Oys
ter Bay saying: "I am of opinion
that an extra session will be unneces
sary." When this was read to the
senators and representatives in the
Taft party there was uproarious ap
plause. They will now .be able to
travel a few weeks longer. The clever
style ' of the message is also worthy
cf note. The president lets himself
down with remarkable grace and ease.
No one would suppose that he had
been trying for six months to force an
extra session; you are almost led to
think that some unwise person had
been trying to convince Mr. Roose--
velt that an extra session should be
called, and that Mr. Roosevelt had re
