 sage in the house this morning of q resolution condemning a certain pam~ phlet which was being circulated among the members of the house was the feature of the morning session, aside from the address of President Tillman oL the state university in support of his plea for liberal aD- propriation for tho state university for the coming two years
 Early in the morning session Ren- resentative Sawyer sent up a priyi- leged resolution calling attention to the fact that there was in circulation among the members of the house q pamphlet "purporting to be an eluci- dation of the prohibition question, I" but which. in fact. reduced Jesus Christ to the plane of q brewer and q distiller. thus making Him articeps criminis to all the evils that attend the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits.
 Mir. Sawyer asked the house to eX- press its emphatic disapproval of said document as "pernicious and mislead- i4g," etc.
 The resolution was put to vote and carried. In full it is as follows:
 Whereas, there has been circulated in this house 9 pamphlet purporting to be an eluciaation of the prohibition question; and,
 "Whereas, said pamphlet is deceD- tive and misleading and out of har- mony with the views of majority of the best and ablest physicians of our country: and.
 "Whereas, said pamphlet reduces Jesus Christ to the plane of brewer and distiller, thereby making Him particeps cri1ninis in all the evils that attend the manufacture and sale of ardent spirits.
 Therefore, be it resolved by this body that we condemn said pamphlet as being pernicious and misleading and injurious to the best interest of our civilization"
 The pamplet is entitled "Views on Prohibition, by Dr. William Thomp- sufssN Little Rocks Oldest and Most Eminent Physician, in which he de- clares that "A dry state would mean illicit stills and in which he defends the use of alcoholic stimulants
 Another interesting matter at the morning session was the introduction of a bin by MT. Smith placing an oc- cupation tax on all corporations doing business in Arkansas, taxing them, tn most cases, on the gross receipts basis and providing that they make quar< terly statements regarding their busi- ness to the state auditor.
 President Tillman of the state uni versity delivered an interesting ad- dress, by invitation of the house, set ting forth the conditions now prevails ing in a general way at the state uni- ..yersity, the relation of the school to 2the state at large, and in support of : liberal financial suppoY, to the end that many needed Improvements

Animal Learning

DIR. T. Zell, German naturalist, has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser than their uninstructed
parents. Game animals of all kinds,
he AYERS, have learned the range of
modern rifles. Greyhounds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab-
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels. just as vultures
follow an army. Crows begin to ac-
company the chamois hunter as soon
as they have seen the result of his first
successful shot, and rough-legged buzz
yards follow the sportsman after
winged game. The number of birds
that kill or injure themselves by flying
against telegraph wires is much small
err than it used to be. DR.. Zell also
refers to the fact that birds and quad
rupeds have learned to disregard pass
ing railway trains, as horses quickly
cease to be frightened by motor cars
His instances of intelligent selection
exercised by sheep dogs are familiar
to all.-London Paper.

HOW SHE ENTERED SOCIETY

DR.. Cook, discussing, with group of
Washington interviewers, his famous
banquet of "putrid SEAL" said with
laugh:
Sacrifices are always being made.
Men, in order to succeed, sacrifice
pleasure; they sacrifice their honor
they sacrifice their youth. These sac
rifices excite no remark But, any sac
rifice of the stomach arouses wonder
and awe.
"Women have sacrificed, for in
stance, much TO enter society. I've
heard of many of their sacrifices, and
yet there's only one that l remember
wildly.
"A woman newly rich was invited to
an aristocratic dinner party During
the course of fowl and salad this wom-
an noticed with dismay a fat, furry
caterpillar on her topmost leaf of let
tuce.
CHANGING up she met her aristocratic
hostess eye. The hostess, too, had
seen the caterpillar. Her gaze implored
the guest to save the dinner from ca
tastrophe.
THE guest gave her hostess a re-
assuring smile. Then she doubled d
lettuce leaf around the caterpillar and
swallowed 1t calmly The look of awe
and gratitude that her hostess gave
her was an assurance that her footing
in society was at last firmly estab-
lished.

daughter afterward, that I'd lose a
chance of establishing the family So

who is well known on the east SIDE. A

TnE OUTLOOK.

The outlook for Republican success
at the polls on November End next
is certainly bright. The State and
Counties have been and are being
toured by Mr.. Williams, the candi-
date for Comptroller, and the local
candidates. Everywhere large meet
ings have been held and the people
are most enthusiastic over the out
look for a Republican victory.
That the people are opposed to
the amendment with the exception of
narrow minded Democrats has been
clearly demonstrated in the press and
on the stump.
That the Republicans have excel
lent prospects of controlling the next
legislature is practically admitted by
some Of the most sanguine and ar

party. The people are tired of the

SENTIMENT AGAINST THE A7END-
MENT.

The proposed DISTINGUISHING
amendment is doomed to defeat
from all indications by majority as
great if not greater than the Poe
Amendment Of four years ago.
The people throughout the State
realize that its passage will mean the
Acknowledgement of a large number
of good citizens, white as well as col
ored.
In Baltimore City most particularly
sentiment is against it. Independents
all over the State are coming out in full
force against the amendment and
associations, clubs and other bodies
are passing strong resolutions de-
nouncing it. The Baltimore Ameri-
can has the following to say of it;
Every device has been tiddled,
every pennant has been thrown to
the ground, every war cry Of the
amendment people has been turned
into a puerie plea, and from every
section Of the state the sweeping
chorus of protest and vigoruos rattle
Of arms is heard. Scores of repre-
sentative citizens, Independents and
Democrats, uniting with Republicans,
have Joined in the warfare. Organi-
cations, industrial, civic, social and
religious, have come out against the
Straus measure. All over the coun-
try the newspapers have taken the
stand that Maryland in a supreme
struggle in the cause of fundamental
rights. From the President of the
United States down the measure has
been condemned. No element ofthe
foreign-born population but has rep

against it the men who stand for the
business and industrial stability of the
State. Among the captains in the
cause are men who have risen to

the walks Of life, They unitedly de-
