A movement has been on foot for
some time in Virginia in the inter
est of woman's suffrage in this
State. Just what will be the out

the leaders of the movement are wo-

they contend that the right to vote
would help women to purify many

State Senator from Rockbridgs

EDITOR GAZETTE: The time will
soon arrive when new State Senator
must be chosen for Bedford and
Rockbridge counties and city OF
Buena Vista jointly, and this ques-
ton has suggested itself to me. Will
Bedford be generous enough to
choose the Senator from Rockbrdge
for this next term? For the last
three or four sessions Bedford mas
b cen represented by Ghree OF its cit
liens each session, two members OF
the House and the Senator every
time; while Rock bridge has had to
content herself with one represen-
tative in the House 1t is true we
have a floater in the House wi b
the C, untIes OF Bath and Highland
and city of Bueua Vista, but we
have always been g generous enough
to give one of these the foater. We
are only asking to be done by as we
do unto others.
1t won't 90 for Bedford to plead
any longer, We just took you in to
save you from the Republicans" 1t
is true at the last apportionnent
Rock bridge was represented bv two
Repu blicans, but it has not occurred
since and we feel sufficiently re-
deemed. Let Bedford do the gene--
Gus act and wewill give them Sen
ator who will be an honor both to
Bedford. Rockbridge and Buena

JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

The frequency of demands foi hos
pital service and the numerous
cases requiring difficult operation
make it important if not absolutely
necessary that ample provision be
made for the treatment Of such cases
in Lexington. 1t is big drain on
people of this community who are
compelled to seek such service IN
other towns. In addition to the
needs of the residents Of Lexington
and Rock bridge, the presence OF
over six hundred young men at the
University, and more than three
hundred at the Institute, renders
the situation all the more important.
Recently steps were taken where
by the Board of Supervisors OF
Rockbridge. the Town Council of
Lexington and the authorities Of
Washington and Lee were offered
opportunity to unite on some plan
Of cooperation which would insure
the opening OF the hospital with
competent and permanent manage
ment for the treatment OF all neces-
sary cases; and it is hoped that sat
isfactory arrangements may be COM
pleted at no distant day.
The annex to the hospital, lately
completed at a cost OF -, 900, from
funds realized by the sale of the
Presbyterian Home, provides az
operating room, three rooms fol
whites Oh the second floor and three
rooms for colored on the first floor.
g.. At recent meeting of the Mar!

The Monkey and the Book.

A story is told of an eminent nat
uralist Il forget his name) who was
hoping to develop the intelligence Of a
monkey to whose education he was
devoting himself. One day he saw
with delight that the monkey was sit
ting at the other end of the room turn
ing over the leaves of valuable book
on entomology and looking at the
plates with apparent interest. But on
going nearer he saw, with dismay, that
the monkey was turning over the
plates in order that when he came to
a particularly large beetle or butterfly
he might pick it out and eat it. As
the paper could not have had nice
taste, think he may have been actu-
ated rather by the fun of the thing
than by a mere depraved appetite.
Perhaps he was verifying the like
method of learning among the philoso-
piers of Laputa.-London Spectator,

Marshal Tureen and His Soup.

There is a quaint old shop in London
which still bears the name of Samuel
Birch, the first purveyor of turtle soup
In the English capital. Amid all the
changes Of the city Birch's shop in
Cornhill survives in the guise 1t wore
when its owner was lord mayor Of
London in the memorable year Of Wa
terloo. Samuel Birch achieved distinc-
ton In many fields. He was an orator
and a patriot; he was colonel Of the
city militia and accepted with great
good nature his nickname Of Marshal
Tureen; he was a man of letters, pro-
duced plays that held the stage and
books that were readable, though now
seldom read. One of his plays, "The
Adopted Child" was popular long aft
er its author had killed his last turtle
His daughter married Lamartine, and
one of his sons, fine classical scholar

claim to fame rests most upon the
fact that he was the man who made

Fame, so difficult possession to oh.
tain. lies oftener than one usually
thinks in the power of the press.
Oscar Browning in his interesting
Memories of Sixty Years" tells how
Fox, then editor of the Monthly Re
pository, settled the fate of Robert
Browning's Pauline" when it first ap-
peared by the mere word "balderdash.'
The explanation given is that "a sin
gle line was required to complete the
page, and the editor, taking up the
first book on which he could lay his
hand and thinking it insignificant and
pretentious, described it as have stat
ed above"
Oscar Browning declares that the
poet said that by this accident his
public recognition had been delayed

Atlas .nd tt,s Load.

Strictly speaking. ''atlas'' Is mis-
nomer for map book, since 1t was
not the world, but the heavens, that
the "atlas" of mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. of Germany. was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
1t as convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigod, figures with world upon his
shoulders as a frontispiece of some
early works on geography
Atlas, it was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as a man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into a mountain. upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with a heavy burden strongly
borne. Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say to Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for so great weight.
1t is not difficult to see how by ar
association of ideas this came to bt
chosen as the name for a book Of
maps which upholds and exhibits t
us the whole world.

Reiun of the Dandies.

In the matter of dress we have fallen
upon decline since the days when the
Duke of Wellington was refused ad-
mission to Almack's because he was
wearing trousers instead of breeches
and silk, stockings. Even Almack's,
however, had to admit trousers within
its closely guarded portals the following
year. When Gladstone was 'up' at
oxford the reign of the dandies was In
full swing. When late in life he re-
visited the university to lecture to the
undergraduates on Homer he was
asked by G. W. E. Russell whether he
noticed any difference between his au-
dlence and the men Of his own time.
"Yes," he replied, "in their dress an
enormous change. l am told that
had among my audience some Of the
most highly connected and richest mel
in the university, and there wasn't one
whom l couldn't have dressed from
