A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar, is a smoke

The sheriff in his struggle between love and his duty chose duty; that was why he is still a bachelor. Or we might put it this way. Fate made the sheriff fall in love with a girl whose brother was a bad egg; the sheriff was called upon to take bad brother up, and afterward sister walked right past the sheriff as though he was only a chair. She left him to give his shield another polishing. Anyway, the sheriff got a reward. Rosenberg, the bank owner, for whom he got the stolen money back, gave him a good cigar. And according to Kipling, a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar, is a smoke. It isn't a slow picture. The people watched it closely and the end seemed to amuse them much. - The Moving Picture World, November 4, 1911
