Wives. Old Buckshaw wo ks on faded feet to keep the pot aboi ing; down on the crowded city street- you'll see him always toiling. His yes are dull and full of care, his coun enance is dreary; the wintry snows hat e touched his hair, his heart is sad and eery. Day after day, with heavy tree , he makes his stern endeavour; he s es no ray of hope ahead—just toil and t ars forever. His wife is flaunting thro gh the town and heeeds not his distress -ss; with jewelry she's loaded down and ' ears' the latest dresses. She's org izing suffrage clubs, and keeps the -ame a -floating; she's lining up the emale dubs to claim the right of voti g. "We're rob- bed," so Mrs. Bucksh• w claims, "so all that makes life use ul; and so we dauntless, dippy da es, pursue our crusade gooseful. W 're trodden down by iron heels, we'r beaten with a mallet; but man mu -t listen to our squeals, and let us h:ve the ballot." And in the grim an clanging mart, the lair of Legal Te er, old Buckshaw toils, with broken -art, to keep his wife in splendor.
