No, 1000 times no!

M iss Phoebe Hilderbrand, our well knowd dressmaker and maker of robes et mantoze is at the head of this movement. Phoebe is the one who went and thunk it up and the one who has been makm a house to house canvas in Bingville, where she has got the wifes of some of our most respeckted citi- here concerning the mtg we got from Hank. By 7:30 P. M. the hall was well filled and the doors was closed and bolted. Then Phoebe she walked up to the platform and made- a speech as f oilers : "Dear Sisters We are assembled here together to demand our rights which we never have had and wont newer have unless we stand up for em and show to our pusilanimous husbands ( Phoebe aint got no husband shes tried to get one for the past 30 years but aint been .successful) that we aint a goin to be tramped on enny longer.

What we print shion is held in this bilding every wife of Bingville who don't lock her hushing (if he opposes her voting) in the cellar or in a closet so that he cant git out to cast his vote until after the polls is closed will be regarded by us all as a traitor to the grand and glorious cause of, wimmens rights." (Loud applause.) Missus Lem Whittacre was the next one to riz up. Missus Lem said she want so sure she could convince her hushing that she ort to vote. Then she began to cry and set down. Everybuddy pres ent felt awful sorry for Missus Lem being as Lem bosses her around some think awful and the poor "woman can't skeercely call her soul her own. The other wimmen present who aint afeard of their husbings crowded around Mis sus Lem and comforted her and pat ted her on the back and told her not to fret becuz they would take up her cause for her and if Lem give her enny more back talk they would call at her house i in a boddy and scratch his eyes outen ; his head if necessary. Soon as Lern heerd this he begin to be as nise as pic ; to his wife. Lem says ruther than have ; the whnmen of Bingville call on him in : a boddy he would run off somcwheres j j . t. ! Well, by this time Hank who was con- t cealed. in the clothes closet begin to git purty warm and uncomfortable all coop ed up in the closset and the swet was apouring down his forred into his eyes and he couldn't skeercely git his breath and thort he should suffokate before the j mtg was over being as he couldnt ex-, cape from where he was without takin : his life m his hands as you might. say. Then all at onct in order to complik ate matters and make em worse Hank who has had a cold for some time felt a sneeze comin on which almost parry lized him with fear. Hank knowed if he was to sneeze he would be discov vere'd and he diddent know what the wimmen present might do to him. Hank said he grabbed hisself by the throat with both hands and tried to choke his self to deth hooine thereby to also choke off the sneeze but in spite of all he could do he went and sneezed turrible loud and then crouched there all of a tremble waitin for whatevver was to foller. Hank said there was a awful silence fnr shout half a minnit after he'd sneezed, then Phoebe Hilderbrand said, "I thort I heerd a sneeze some wheres over in that corner, dear sis ters," and Phoebe pointed towards the closset where Hank was crouchin with his heart in his mouth. "Did enny buddy else present hear ennythink like a sneeze," went on Phoebe, "or was I mistaken?" "No, you ain't mistaken, Phoebe," speaks up several voices, "we all heerd it!" "In that case let us in vestigate," says Phoebe. "If I ain't mistaken the sneeze come from that closset," and Phoebe marched towards the closset with her head in the air and as proud and deefiunt as enny think. ' Well when Phoebe yanked open the door Hank busted forth with a loud shreek, but insted of being scairt Phoebe made a grab for him but mist him and screamed "It's Hank Dew berry, sisters ! Don't let him git away !" Consternashion rained soopreme! Hank leaped down the aisle tords the door but his foot ketched under the matting and he fell flat on the floor with a dull sickenin thud that made him grunt and groan as if he was in turrible pain. Before poor Hank could git on his teet agin Missus Lem Brown and Missus Ame Hiilyer and other wimmen too numerous to ment shion piled on top of him and pound ed him with their fists and pulled his hair and scratched his face almost be yond all human semblance. Hank hol lered and yelled and kicked and plead ed for help but they didn't show him no mercy. Finally the wimmen dragged him to his feet and asked him if he had enr.ythink to say for his self. Hank said no he couldn't think of nothink to say except he would appreshiate it if they would spare hit worthless life for him and permit him to go home to his wife who was sick and needed him at her bedside to hold her hand for her. "That's a lie, Hank Dewberry!" says a womans voice and Hank looked up to recognize his wife Emily Dewberry who was present at the mtg all the time. Emily stepped up to Hank and slapped him with her open hand right on the face and says, "There, take that for ac ting like a low down eaves dropper and then lying on top of it!" Then Emily slapped Hank agin after which she arked him if he was in favor of wimmen vot ing or not. Hank said no he wassent and Emily slapped him so hard on the fase that it like to have knocked hit head offen his shoulders. "Did you say you wassent in favor of wimmen voting. Hanky dear?" says Emily. "Yotv must of misunderstood me, Emily," says Hank, "I am in favor of wimmen voting, alius have been and alius will be I beleev in wimmens rights. Hoora for wimmens sufYerage!" "Very well," says Emily, "now, you kin march straight home and wash up the supper dishes which I left in the sink and after that you kin sleep on the couch down in the living room for tonight. Tomorrer I'll make you up a bed ot.t in the barn. Begone, and be glad that we ain't killed you outright." Thank you, I am la dies," says Hank and then he hurried outen the hall. Next day follering the mtg it was simply turrible how the wifes of some of our best cittizens lorded it over their husbings. Mrs. Cy Hoskins shut Cy t.p down in cellar for five hours until Cy promised her he would do all in his power to bring about wimmens votes in Eingvillc. Mrs. Eph Higgins refused to cook a meal for Eph until he would work for wimmens votes. Eph stuck out at breakfast and went to the P. O. without nothing to eat'. When he went home at noon he told his wife he'd die before he'd give in to her and she said allright then go ahead and die and she refused to get him a bite to eat at noon and so Eph went back to the P. O. so faint for somethink to eat that he couldnt hardly walk. At supper time Eph went home agin and askt hit wife if she had saw the error of her ways and was willing to apologise to him for the way she had treated him. She said she hadn't and then Eph he says, "Well in that case I apologise to jou and if you'll git me up a good supper I'll work like a dog for wimmens sufferage in Bingville It goes aginst my consilience to do so but it don't go as much aginst my consilience to do so as it goes aginst my stummick not to do so." Ab Wood who said he'd never indorse womans sufferage was drove outen hi own house and home by a floormop in the hands of bis wif who told him no to dare show so much as his face in that house agin until he would agree tc come over to her way of thinkin. AH slcp two nights in Bill Hepburns black smith shop and like to of froze to deth. Then he went back home and told his wife that he desired to tell her that he had become a woman sufferergette. If we had more spase we could cite many other jest sich disgraceful doini which only goes to show that some of our most respeckted eituzens aint got enny more backbone or spunk than a cup of jelly.
