FemInlsm VS.. Tobacco.

The kindly spirit which has recent.
ly inyaded the ranks of an American
medical society, converting the male
members from truculent entities into
gentle and passive members of the
body polite, has been the means of
adding another jewel to the much-be-
gemmed crown of American woman
hood, wrested as part payment for
supremacy. We had hoped that the
battle between the sexes would con-
tinue indefinitely in these, our demo
cratic United States, If oSly to add
zest to the monotony Of our daily ex-
istence, and as an object lesson to
those benighted Europeans who hap
pen to stray hitherwards; but with
the complete defeat of the male mem
bers of the medical society under con-
sideration, on the question whether to
smoke or not to smoke in the pres
ence of half-dozen women members,
we must declare that all further fight
ing be decreed perfectly useless
Without going into tho details of the
proceedings that led to the annihila-
tion of the smoking privilege enjoyed
for years by the male members, re-
marks Interstate Medical Journal, It
would be well to ask why some sapi-
ent son of Adam did not try, by bland
ishments gentle and diplomatic, to
convince one or another lady" men,
ber, directly he saw the storm brew
ing, of the many advantages that
would accrue to her were she to
smoke whilst paper bordering on In
anity and stupidity was being read?
Many a member of our medical socie-
ties can vouch for a kindly feeling to-
ward his fellowmen in similar circum-
stances, and granting the truth of this
statement, why should not a lady
member, who as an integral part of a
medical society, class herself with the
male element, and not with her In
ferior sisters, experience the same de-
lightful sensations.

AS THE Buy UNDERSTOOD.
Probably to His Mind Conflict Of Au-
thority Was Vital.

In one Of the Atlanta Sunday schools
recently the lesson for the day had to
do with Mammon and the corrupting
Influences of great riches.
Toward the close of the exercises,
says Harper's Magazine, the superin-
tendent called upon the infant class
to repeat the golden text, which had
special reference to mans inability to
serve his Creator and the money god
at one and the same time. The class
.ailed to respond as it should. when
the superintendent, noticing his own
young hopeful In the ranks, who had
that very morning been drilled thor
oughly on the text, called to him. The
response was immediate, though a
slight departure from the original, for
in a voice that was distinctly heard in
all parts of the room there came the
following modification:
"Ye cannot serve God and mammal"

caIlousness to Soldiers.

A painful case of what looks almost
like needless hardship inflicted by a
French colonel of cavalry on the men
under his command is reported from
Melan. The Eighteenth dragons
from Melan had been ordered to join
the Seventh dragons from Fontaine-
bleau by a night march, and left at
2:30 a. m. Both regiments arrived
about four a. m, but in a very diff
ferent condition. The Seventh dra-
goons had ridden in their great cloaks,
and were comfortable enough; but
the Eighteenth, by the colonel's or
ders, had ridden without their cloaks,
and three men fell from their horses
struck by congestion two others, too
benumbed to stand, after dsmount
ing, leaned against their horses and
received kicks which fractured limbs,
while quite a considerable number of
men had to be sent to the hospital in

Cheyenne, Wyo, Jan 31.-The Slew

ty, was indefinitely postponed in the
house committee of the whole this
morning, after a somewhat vigorous
war between the two factions. The
bill is known as II. B. No. II, and pro-
vides that all passes shall be illegal.
Mr.. Seiverts drew the bill to make it
effective January 1, 1909, two years
hence, but in The committee this morn
ing he asked that it be amended to
make it effective at once. After ad-
dresses had been made by a number
Of gentlemen for and against the
measure, the committee decided to
recommend its indefinite postpone
ment, and in that way it went to the
house. There Mr.. Seiverts moved that
the recommendations of the commit
tee in a number Of bills be concurred
in and that the recommendation of his
bill, No. IT, be non-concurred in.
