.Music.
I lovo the murmur that begins
Among the reeds nnd 'cellos,
When nil tho vnrled violins
Tune up among their follows:
I lovo tho little pnuso, for then
What Joy tho short suspense Is:
Ilut, oh, tho leaping pulses when
Tho overture commences.
1 lovo each heart beat of tho drum,
Each breath when flutes ore dy
ing. Tho world, I feel Is overcome
Whon clarinets are sighing.
I lovo tho grandiose sweep of strings
That tears me with its passion;
Save one, thero are no nobler things
For God or man to fnshlou.
And this would bo my dearest
choice,
I would glvo tho music's splen
dor To wntch her slug, to hear voice
In nonio old song and tender; .
I would glvo every trumpet call
To hear one ballad ringing
From her who cannot sing at nil
And who doos not care for sing
ing. Selected,

Representative Ilttyo has Intro
iluced n bill Into the Missouri logls
loturo prohibiting women from
wearing dresses that button up the
back unions tho buttons bo as largo
no n dollar. Tho bill provides for
r lino or 1 to $3. wl'tb a Jnll
sontonco for persistent offenders.
Representative lloottger Ib tho
father of tho law which has passed
tho Iowa legislature thnt makes It
lawful for a husband to rcfuso to
pay nny bill of his wlfo that ho
iloon not consider roasonnblo nnd
necessary, so that If an Iowa lady
Is tempted by u hundred-dollar hat
or a pearl uecklnro It's up to tho
morehnuts who sell hor thoso gew
gaws to get their money If they
can.
These bills show us thnt tho
mlghty mnscullno Intellect Is ngnln
t,i iijiiiiiik nun uiu Kiuiu liruuioillB
of government thnt aro too pro
found for women to understand or
to participate In, so that tho fran
chise has been withheld from tho
fooblo-mluded box Bays Dorothy Dlx.
Yot If you want nu oxnmplo of
vIcoiih clnss legislation, you would
have to go to darkest Russia to
11 nd anything tho equal of thoso
two inonsiires.
Think of tho grinding tyranny
of man, clothed In tho panoply of
power, basely tnklng advuntngo of
tho fact that ho constitutes tho
governing power, nnd that woman
has no voice In limiting tho laws
Bho must obey, to Issue odletH con
cerning how she Hliall miiko her
'clothes, and what she shall spend
on them.
Could anything be more unjust?
In uny thing moie calculated to
make the worm turn? Should such
nn action not ho a clarion call to
arms to all women to protect their
limllenalilo rights to have such fas
tenings on tliolr clothes as thoy
ploare, nnd to button or hook or
pin themselves togothor as In their
judgment they see lit?
Thoso who object (o giving wo
men tho right to vote say that they
fonr thnt women would bo proju
tllced nnd partisan, and not able
tn tnko large and comprehensive
views of great iiuestlous as men
do. Perhaps ho. Ilut wo have
yet to hear of any woman legisla
tor who has over considered such
a thing as meddling with tho clo
thes of innii, or trying to got nny
law passed that would curtail his
Ilborty lu dress, or prescribe tho
nuinbor or size of tho buttons on
his waistcoat.
No lady representative bus yet
nrlMm in the equal rights states
legislatures mid prosontojl a bill to
regulate whether a man should
hold up his trousers by 'the use of
a bolt, suspender button or safety
pin, or n nail. Nor have the wo
men liiwinnUors arrogated In them
nolves the rlg.it to decide whether
a man should woar long trousers
or short, or take off his hat or
keen It on in nubile nlucos Yet
men have punned onlliiMiueH for

It's no mail's business what they

pense. If this Iowa law Is enforced,
Iowa will bo the next suffrage state
for the women will rise up en

buy what they think Is necessary,
Instead or what hubby thlukH slio
needs. Does anyone suppose that
tho Iowa women will sit supinely

wliWili Is perfectly good, hut whoso

now style, and whose coat Is six
Inches longer than the fashion, bo-

Or course, as a matter of fact,
when men puss Iiiwh regulating
women's clothes, women simply
stand aside nnd smile. It nuiuses
the men nnd doosu't affect the wo
men, who go on wearing what they
please, for, although men, when
