"There is a good story of how at an election meeting in Cork
a few years ago, when he was a candidate, one of a crowd of
working women pushed her way into a brake from which he was
addressing a throng in the market square and suddenly put her
arm round his neck and killed him."--_Times of India_.

"At the Port Elizabeth Town Council meeting, Mr. Mackay asked
could nothing be done to the seats at Homewood? The resin
was oozing out of them. He had had a valuable pair of pants
completely ruined, and the same thing might happen to any
lady."--_South African Paper_.
Our trousered Amazons must not be discouraged.
