A Little More Time Needed UDGE BEN LINDSEY says he has been obliged to revise somewhat his opinion of woman suffrage and is now willing to admit that it has done good, even in Colorado, where, Heaven knows, every kind of good influence has been needed. Judge Lindsey says that the mitigation of the bad in the Colorado strike was a man’s job; but that, even so, the women voters were on hand in considerable force as an adjunct. He also wants to make it clear that it takes time to accomplish any- thing in this world, and that the women have not yet had as much time as they need to do all the good they are capable of. All of this is cheerfully conceded. But the same thing is true of man. Man needs a little more time to complete some of the reforms which he began on several thousands of years ago.

Of course, many people talk nonsense of a certain kind, of a very high grade, in fact, but they do it unconsciously, To talk pure nonsense, however, is quite a different thing, because, no matter how carefully one plans to pro- duce talk of this kind, more or less sense is sure to creep in. In a number of cases, mostly at afternoon teas, conversations have been found to con- tain as high as ninety-seven and two- tenths per cent. of nonsense. That is the highest recorded for real talk. Now and then some one claims to have discovered talk which assays one hun- dred per cent. nonsense, but in every case these claims have proved to be groundless, lecause the medium of ex- pression used was a mere gibberish in which there were no completely formed words, and hence it could not properly be classed as talk at all. People who take themselves too seri- ously will find it both interesting and profitable to experiment along this line, So you think Katherine made a very suitable match?” “Yes, indeed; you know what a nerv ous, excitable girl she was, Well, she married a composer. —Tit-Bits.
