VICTORY FOR CIGARETTES.

The Rogers anti-cigarette law, which
prohibited the sale of cigarettes and
cigarette paper in Tennessee, has been
declared unconstitutional. The law
became operative on May LIST, and a
test case was arranged. w. s. Saw
RE, of Nashville, sold cigarettes, was
arrested, tried and convicted. He Sc
cured a writ of habeas corpus from
the United States Circuit court.
The court holds that no state can
interfere with the sale of cigarettes
imported from another state, either by
prohibition, taxation or in any way
whatsoever, and that the commercial
clause of the United States constitu-
ton is supreme and grants protection
against any form of adverse state leg
islation.

EFFECTS OF THE SCARE.

There is a CHASTITY show of local ad-
vertisements in papers from the yell
low fever districts. Quarantine no.
tees, disinfectants and medicines said
to have prOphylactic powers take up
columns of space. In some cause the
papers suspended publication because
the working force of the office was
stricken with the disease. No doubt
when the fever scare is over, the pa
pers viii require from candidates for
office the pledges to give a better san
itary system to the towns visited by

FRENCH LAWS HEAVY HAND.

They order these things better in

While thousands of merrymakers
were parading the boulevards of Paris
on late afternoon, or slipping absinthe
in the cafes ten men dressed in the
heighth of fashion walked sedately
along through the crowds. They fire.
quently stopped where they saw a
group of people and, lifting their hats,
showed printed on their clean shaved
scalps the advertisement of q cafe in
blue letters. They attracted the notice
of the vigilant police, and then follow
ed a curious example of the red tape
that Latin nations are so fond of. The
ten We're hauled before the magistrate
and compelled to pay tax of 81 francs
which the law imposes upon the post
ers and sanwitch men. The fines We're
and the magistrate warned
the men that they canot carry the ad-
vertisement on their scalps any more,
unless the government stamp were
placed on their skulls.

Il can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy" says j. r.
Adams, well known druggist, of
Geneva, Ala, in letter inquiring the
price of dozen bottles, that he might
not only have it for use in his own
family, but supply it to his neighbors.
The reason some people get along with
out it is because they do not know it's
value, and what vast amount of suf-
fering it will save. Wherever it be-
comes known and used, it is recog-
nized as a necessity, for it is the only
remedy that can be depended upon for
bowel complaints, both for children
and adults. For sale by all druggists

the Inquisition or the French
RevOlutiOnaries, it was noted
with surprise and admiration that
the women died more bravely
than the men. With what
grace and calmness, and infinite
tenderness for others, did Anne
Boleyn and Mary of Scotland lay
their necks upon the block.
Even the fearless Raleigh suffers
by comparison, for their queenly
dignity excelled his half-jocular
carelessness.
When We come to physical
self-sacrifice, to giving ones life
to save the most dear to us, wO.
men stand almost alone. Wheth-
er to suck a poisoned wound, or
to nurse the wounded in the midst
of battle, or to watch by the couch
of pestilence and death, or to
commit suicide to save their own
and their husbands honor, they
have acted without a parallel ON
the part of men. Woman's love
is stronger than her fears, and
there is no sacrifice which she
vii not cheerfully make for him
who sways her heart. What she
does by impulse man feebly
tries to do by calculation.
But it is in moral courage that
woman shines. Just as the
greater strength and training of
man makes him physically supe-
riOr, so the moral strength and
training of women makes him
her inferior. In loyalty,
truthfulnes, chastity, fidelity, pity
sObriety, honesty, and general per-
in well-doing, she is
UNNECESSARILY above him. This
has been noticed by great writers
in every age, and it would not be
so much mans moral superior.
Vaudeville thought it was be-
cause her brain was more aCcur-
ltely balanced. We think, how
ever, that it is largely demanded
from her from remOtest times. !
But she must insist upon further |
physical advancement, and man
should look to his morals, that !
sexual harmony may result.
1t is no wonder that the cow
lrds and narrOw-hearted among
he men are bitterly opposed to
he New Woman" They see
the rod. of empire slipping from
heir grasp, and feel that their
,rute force and cunning cannot
ave them. Women are already |
mems moral superiOrs, and are
asst becoming their intellectual
quals. Their physique is i'm
rowing more rapidly than the
mems. Altogether, the outlook
ssures us of sexual equality at
70 far distant date. Whenever it
rrives, it will give a universal
Impetus to progress and mark a
ew and happier era for human
y, for right, not might, will gov.
IN, and the wOrthiest wear the
rOwn. The brave women of the !
asst and present will then be
evered as the daring pioneers in
he discovery of a New Heaven .
nd a New Earth.

Which Was the Brave Boys

"My great.great grandfather fought
in the Revolutionary war;" said Vic
tor proudly. "He was one of the
guards when Major Andre was
shot,"
"My grandfather was in the last war
and marched with Sherman to the sec,
said Winfred.
my father belongs to the Home
Guards and helped to capture that
burglar that tried to rob the bank,n
said Pliny.
Little Sammy Sutherland was the
only boy who had not spoken.
"Say, Sammy" said Pliny, "what
did your father or some of your rela-
tions do that was bravep"
Sammy hung his head in shame.
'Never heard as they did anything
worth mentioning" hek.ammered.
anyway, Sammy isn't to blame,
and Pm awful sorry for him." said
Winfred.
"So'm l." said Victor. '"Course it
makes boy feel mean, some way"
Just then the teacher came from the
school house and stopped near the boys.
He was student from the college and
the boys all loved and admired him.
"What is the trouble, Sammy" he
asked.
"It's because he hasn't any relations
that are brave and the rest of US have,"
said Pliny, before Sammy could an
swer.
"Never mindl' said the teacher. 81
think it is little better to be brave
ones self than to have brave rela-
tions."
'Ha ha l'' laughed the boys.
"But Sammy isn't brave" said Pliny,
''he's afraid of his own shadow"
Then Sammy wished the ground
would open just a little crack SO he
could slip in.
81 think Sammy is brave" said the
teacher. "Let me tell you. The other
day I heard some boys talking about
'jolly good joke''they were planning to
play upon the poor old man who was
chopping down the dead elm tree over
there. He had brought his dinner in a
pail and left it with his coat near the
spring land poor enough dinner 1t
was, for saw him eating it), and the
boys thought it would Be such fun to
empty out his lunch and fill the pail
with stones. Then little Sammy Suth-
erland spoke up brave and true:
'I think it would be downright
mean, boys, and I'll have nothing to do
with it. called that brave speech
for little fellow"
Then the other boys grew red and
ashamed, and Sammy caught hold the
teachers hand and held it close in
both of his, while the master smiled
upon him.
"I don't think that would have been
good joke at all, and I'm glad you
didn't play it," said the teacher. "But
I'll tell you what would be fun. Just
fiji up the poor mans pail with some
of the fruit and good things you bring
for your lunch, and see if you don't
feel like laughing every time you think
about it,"
"We WILL" said Winfred; "won't
we boysP"
"Yes," said Pliny, and we'll never
even think of playing such mean
joke again. I'm glad Sammy was
braver than we were."

/
est, we will give an occasional view oi
the subject, pro and Cor, from those
whose views we think worthy of not
ing. Martha A. Bushnell Conine, a
member of the legislature of Colorado,
in considering few of the objections
most frequently urged against women
in politics, answers three of these OBJ
jections according to her own expar-
fence and observation. She says:
"Take for instance as objection No.
1.-'Men would lose their respect for
women. A woman running for office
would be liable to assaults upon her
character. and campaign would nea-
cessitate her coming into contact with
disagreeable and degrading conditions.
"My own observation and experience
do not in the least sustain this objec-
tion. Ths men with whom we came
in contact treated us in precisely the
same manner which prevails when men
and women meet in society, in church
or elsewhere. There were the names
of thirty-.hree women candidates on
the ballot at our last election, but not
withstanding the fact that this has been
the most exciting campaign in the
history of our State, not one word de-
rogatory to the dignity of any one of
those women appeared, SO far as 1
know, in any newspaper in the State.
'Objection No. 2-'Woman would
lose her love for domestic avocations,
her children would be neglected, and
home would be no longer attractive to
parents and children Answer.-A
true woman's home is to her the first
consideration on earth. Very little
else should be required of the mother
Of young children than their proper
care and training. But the mother of
young children is by no means the only
woman. Not one Of the women elected
in Colorado this year has young chill
dren, and these women will probably
enjoy as much of the society of their
families as is usual in the average home
where the avocations of the different
members seperate them through the
day.
"Objection No. 3-'Women Of i'm
moral character would be particularly
active in politics, and women who are
now self-respecting would be contani-
mated by politics and become as cor-
rupt as the "gang," element among
the men is now known to be-" Answer
The women of the demi-moda in
Denver declined to register, but were
compelled to do so, also to vote by the
'sgang." Their action shows that if
left to themselves they would take no
part in the election. The most cui-
tured, most intelligent women of the
State are the ones most deeply inter-
ested and most active in politics.
"The women realizing their ignor-
ance of political subjects, went to work
at once to inform themselves, and in
their endeavor to grasp the subject
aroused new interest in the minds of
their men friends, and I am positive
there is better understanding of po
litical methods and of desirable re-
forms among the men our State, par
ticularly in our cities, than ever existed
before outside the circle of professional
politicians.
SIT would be very strange indeed if
the women had made no mistakes, but,
comparing their progress in two years
with the results in the previous 100
years of disfranchisement, they may
we'll be proud of their record"
