The woman's rights advocates are
having some pretty uukind things
said about them, the Shafts of wit,
irony or fact being leyeled at them
from almost every quarter OF the
globe, notes the Memphis Scimitar.
Professor Mablus, of Leipsic, is
the latest saYant to go into a
lengthy discussion of woman's
rights, and this movement among
women he denominates a sign of
degeneracy A cablegram sent ov
err from Leipsic not long since rse
lates that the professor recently
said. Anyone acquainted with
this problem must know that its APP
pearance is a sure sign of degeuera'
cy in women, just as it is a sure
sign of degeneracy in men when
they strive after what is feminine
aud emasculated. The Psychologist
knows this neutral zone of the
sexes, aud never before in history
has there bgcd such stampede OF
both sexes to get on it. Among
these degenerates are the apostles
of female emancipation " Professor
Mablus is not the only man of today
who believes such things of the
rampant leaders Of woman's eman
cipation The majority of womer
ia the United States, or a possible
100 per cent, believe very muzh thr

told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-

house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, 1 read an adver-
