| January 2, iyiS-J MARYLAND SUFFRAGE NEWS 317 BALLAD OF A SUFFRAGIST By Lucille Marsden. It was a doughty suffragette, her name was Mrs. Tupp; She had some little ones at home, a husband, and a pup. She held a suffrage meeting at the comer of the square, And eloquently pleaded with the crowd assembled there. She made the speech in Brooklyn, in the borough by the sea, And she pleaded Votes for Women most enthusiastically. She spoke about our food supply as if it were impure, And insisted Votes for Women would its quality ensure. Her voice rose high and mighty on a domineering note As she drew the paradise we'd have when women got the vote; She was vehemently urging all the men to join the cause. When a voice, behind her elbow, rose above the wild applause: "Votes for Women I Grub for husbands!—that's a more important thing Than the stuff that you are preaching to the crowd that's listening I You come home and cook the bacon, for it's long since time to sup, Cook the dinner for your children, and your husband, Henry Tupp!" "Home to supper, home to supper I" then the crowd began to cry, When the speaker beckoned wildly to a p'liccman passing by. "Please arrest that gay disturber of the public peace I" said she. And they dragged poor Henry off, as he was shouting gleefully. Mrs. Tupp appeared against him at the court, as is the law, And reluctantly admitted that she'd seen the man before. "I know him very slightly," absent-mindedly said she, "I believe he sometimes visits with the children and with me." Upon investigation it was found that she was right; Gay Henry Tupp, so free of care, was seldom home at night; But he sometimes condescended, when his cash was getting low. To stop with them for sup|>cr, and to chat an hour or so. Said Mrs. Tupp, "I'm working for the children and for me, I, just as well as any man, support my family; So that is why I lecture from the corner of the square, Instead of getting supper for a man who isn't there!" Poor Henry hung his head in shame, and promised to be good. And they trotted off together, as married couples should. "Votes for Women!" is his watchword, he has taken suffrage up I An energetic suffragette is Mr. Henry Tupp! THE CRIME OF BEING A SOLDIER'S WIFE Women Receiving Government Pensions Kept Under Special Police Supervision. On the grounds that the women and children of soldiers are receiving Government pensions, the wives of English soldiers are put under special police supervision. Thousands of women in England are protesting against this indignity offered the women, who have to make the greatest sacrifice for their country. It is suggested that if the police are the best judges of the private lives of people in the pay of the Government, they should begin with a close supervision of the private lives of Members of Parliament.
