The twilight had i en do rod objects very uncertain by the time a<w!ustle i from the leader warned thi*m he had ..arrived close to the spot which "would serve them as a temporary ���������.laager, or camp. Here the ollfliots of the hills, lknown as kopjes, dwindled down to a'rough counttw , in which it were an easy task to hud some basin where a small fire might be lighted with but a trifling chance of discovery. Bludsoe's unerring judgme-nt had .-maiked out such -straight as the cr*bw *to it. Presently a cheery scene was presented in a little "dip" back of the :first roll, where a camp fire burned, .horses were staked out as on the plains, to nibble at the grass, and -the doctor busied himself in preparing! ng supper, for besides being able to minister to the wants of tortured flesh, this remarkable man was a chef of no mean calibre, and could 'tickle the palates of Ins fellows ���������with savory dishe.', which, if they ���������'lacked the elegance of a I������*%.imonico . concotion, Avere certainly unrivaled ��������� in the estimation of those who par- 1 took. Bludsoe was looking after the horses, and doing numerous chores about the camp. The other "two v members of Lord Bruno's little band appeared to have vanished into thin air. Hastings had only to glance V in the direction of. a tree that mark- *ad the rise in front, to catch a ��������� glimpse of a small fiery spot which he knew,was the end of a cigar Red Eric ��������� smoked while standing on ;guard. Little Phil occupied anotlier ��������� coign bf advantage near by. Evidently Bludsoe was not the man to 'be caught napping. "Corae,'[. said tbe artist, as he ' threw himself at full length upon a blanket at some, little distance from the fire, "suppose you occupy that place, Rex. We have some twenty minutes'to spare beforo supper will be ready. Your friend is busy with his specimens, paefcing them up more ������������������securely for some purpose or other. '.I confess that 'I am frightfully ea<rer a place, and flies he led them relate that part1 beginning .with iny leaving Zanzibar and striking . into the wilderness." i "Good!" said the Briton, nodding eagerly. ��������� *' /** f "T must' in a measure explain the motive that influenced ray action. _Itf was no desire' to emulate Stanley or even *my friend Chandler���������I, did not seek to undertake' these frightful dangers in the* interest' of art, such as might influence an 'enthusiast like yourself, nor did the "eager desire of the .professor to_ discover now wonders ' in the field of science" that might cause t untold millions unborn to'rise up in ages to come and call him blessed, have any particular weight with me. ' . "Plainly, then, my dear Bruno, 1 am a rude, uncouth treasure seeker���������* a'Cortex or. Pizarro'transferred to this heart of the Dark Continent. I sought a fortune, a will-o'-the-wisp that had'"eluded" many an eager hand before.

But you shall judge yourself at some future time. - ' *- "Our. journey was anything but' peaceful. It started under favorable auspices, but ere a week had passed we found ourselves in hot water. I believe a wave of fanaticism has swept over Africa from the region of the Nile and the Kingdom of Dahomey down to the very borders of Matabele land. "At any rate wc found the blacks aggressive all through our trip. At times I actually had reason to sus-' pect that these tribes of interior Africa' were really united in some ancient league, and recognized in the \vhite man the coming doom of their race, for at , some1' future date, as purely as the world continues to exist, that restless, colonizing Anglo- Saxon race is bound to dominate Africa even as it does North America, Australia and many other quarters of bi a globe.' , "Well, we were in a position to offer either the olive branch or war to the knife, and when the aggressive tactics of the blacks forced us to the latter condition, you can believe we hit hard. "Still, the continual dripping of water will wear away a stone, and this constant sj stem of warfare began to tell upon our organization. "We lost some men in battle, others deserted, stealing what tho could, and by degrees, our condition began to grow desperate. *- "I am not made of putty, however, and never once thought of relinquishing rny plains, for the idea of possessing this argosy had become the one scheme''of my life���������you know a man may find himself so wrapped up in a certain matter that he fairly dreams of it. "Time will not allow- me to tell you what we experienced���������how many dangers we escaped, and how bravely my men stood up against the flight of poisoned arrows sent among us by a tribe of such demon-like blacks that I called them the .Tabberwocks. "Reduced to half a dozen we came at length to the country of my dream ��������� my yearning inspiration. It had been so impressed on my mind that I seemed to recognize every feature of the landscape, and I asHiire you this fact gave me a peculiar sensation, ��������� since .it seemed to add a. positive assurance .with' respect to the existence of the fabulous mine. "It was hot my intention to take a single member of the expedition into my confidence/outside the professor. ,-..'.. ' . '' Our carriers, and guards had .10 idea but that Monsieur Jules was the real head of the traveling"show," and that I had accompanied him in a spirit of pure adventure, coupled with a desire to shoot big game. ��������� "Hence. I did not -find it difficult to steal away from our camp one night, gun in hand, and head for the quarter where I believed the secret cache might be found. . "I found it, you see, and came within au ace ot leaving my bones -n the depths of that strange ruin, the remnant of what must have bsen a temple a-C.es ago, dedicated to the sun possibly, since I have,,found e*v i- denccs that there were fire worshippers in the heart' of Africa, as well IT MADE HIM A "HERO. AN ACT THAT BROUGHT A LAWYER FAME AND FORTUNE. , as among,the ancient Peruvians .*nd the Aztecs *of Mexico, but wait until you see that remarkable crater Lei^-i- ple yourself. "When I fled from the scene afu r a desperate encounter \-ith some i-i- ganiic blacks who appeii-;u to guard the sacred valley, my intention was to get away as speedily /->_ ]><issi';lc, dispose of this'jewel 111 JohanntYo'ir*. or Capo Town, and organize a n* -v expedition prepared to c<-].e w i,h the tremendous difficulties which ,1 had found must be surmounted if success were ever to perch-supon my flag.,_. ' "Our proper ���������course should have_ been to have immediately left' that dangerous region; ,but -the professor had conceived an idea, and being as stubborn as a, mule, he was bound to have his way, 'danger or not. "In brief, he had discovered a large* kraal against'the side of the mountain, a town that seemed to be manv_ times larger than- anything he had" as yet run across,,, besides presenting possibilities that were especially _ al- 'luring to such a .devoted "son of , science. . ' ." " ' 'To . make a������ long ' story 'short, 1 then, I reluctantly- agreed ������0, accompany l him, knowing by ^experience that this was the quickest method of inducing him leave the hostile region, for "it had by this , time become a question as to ^whether we wo'uld 'ever live to reach civilization again, so numerous were the difficulties that, beset us. "We started*out immediately, <��������� having' cautioned our few remaining men to remain in hiding.

It might indeed,,be "undesirable in itself. Partly opened or closed the door was in the way. It might squeak.

A '4* ���������<>4>.���������.++*���������+4������������������+<&������������������������������������������������������<>+���������������������������++"������������������+& ' To set the true flavor of war wo must look to those who have participated in war. Tho following story smacks of the trials of a' southern family and the hard- ehips and injustice to which it was sub-' jocted. - ; "Hurry, hurry!" criedr- the captain. "Soon the fight will begin, and if we will have to ride down the lines,, it will be 'no ' joke." So away they went down the lines, two mUes to Iiesaca, across the pontoon bridge over the river there, where the Federals open fire,on them; then, on to Calhoun, where a liot cavalry fight wasfgoing on. ;' After two days spent .there , anxiously ���������waiting for Johnston to drive back the enemy and enable them to go home, and finding that he was retreating and that it ��������� was impossible for tbem to return through the lines they joined tho great army of refugees and at last found ��������� safety 'in that' "general asylurii, southwest Georgia. - Their retreat was sorrowful. Their return was comical:*. The war was over, and. the southerners ��������� stood a nation of paupers. Not one cent did any one have. Dazed they stood and gazed.at their heaps of Confederate mon- - ey, some of it so new and crisp that it seemed "-"to mock'them with, their blasted hopes. ' , ��������� ' '" Tlie first-thought of the refugees was "how to get home. Their friends, who had hospitably entertained them, from'being wealthy planters were now ruined and .had .not bread for themselves, as.their negroes became demoralized and would "not work:. But with no money and wretched transportation who could travel? ' " In the history of all distressed people there is found a Moses who rises up to deliver them. So now in the history of the G.'s the eldest daughter played the part of Moses and led them home. .*��������� After they , had become refugees she had for a while acted as matron in a hospital Jn Macon and as such ranked as a * Confederate officer. So now,* on this ground, she*-Jpplied to the Federal post commandant at Bainbridge for transpor- ��������� tation to Macon. The officer honored the demand and furnished it. and she made tho best of her way there to interview General Croxton, post commandant at that point. ���������"Be sure," said a polite friend, "that you put on your best clothes so as to impress the Yankees. Nothing like looking well of?." "I intend to." said she. And this is how she was dressed: Sho wore what to Confederate eyes seemed .a black silk dress., True, it had once been agre,en striped one, but having been dipped in a weak , solution of logwood the stripes only vaguely betrayed themselves. The garment was gayly trimmed with stripes of palmetto braid, plaited by the wearer's own industrious fingers. She had also manufactured the gloves which covered the said fingers. Then her head was adorned with a -���������wonderful bonnet. It was a sort of phenis in the way in which it rose from its ruins, having been made over several times into divers shapes, according as rumors of fashions reached its owner. For even in the shut in Confederacy the women, in the midst of the multifarious duties devolving on them, strove to follow tho fashions as they vaguely heard they were worn in the outside, world. It proved afterward they were misinformed, for while they were painfully building up three story bonnets, with but scanty material to build with, looking like "Pelion on Ossa piled," the outside world wore little pancakes on their heads. Strong in' the rectitude of her apparel, Miss G. went forth to "impress" General Croxton. How he was impressed, whether with amusement, wonder or admiration, will never be known, as he was too gentlemanly to show any emotion. - Escorted by a boy cousin, Miss G. sought the general's presence. Her brother declined accompanying her. _ "It will never do for a big, ablebodied fellow like me to go," said he, "aud besides women can do more with the Yanks than men." ���������; . ; Having thus eased his conscience,;, he left her to face the foe, which she did with great equanimity, and made her claim for her own transportation, as a Confederate officer and for her father's family on the plea that the Federal gov-, ernment, having forced them from their home at the point of the bayonet, so to say, it was its business to take them back. "Before Confederate officers obtain transportation they surrender," said tbe general, smiling. "Have you surrendered?" This was a horrid speech, for the southern women prided themselves on never surrendering. "I decline to answer that," cried she indignantly. He laughed and after bantering her a little, struck by the novelty of-both applications, he made out the transportation papers for them all and gave them to her. And so in Septembe'r the scattered family'rendezvoused at Macon and started on their trip home. The government did not furnish very stylish transportation. Tbey were given a freight box. car,"into which they packed themselves and a scanty supply of household goods, for news reached them through the lines that their house had been.sacked and its contents scattered to the four winds. They reached Atlanta the next morning and were switched off on a side .track to be raken in charge by the officials of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and young G. went out to interview these parties. They now made the acquaintance of what was afterward known as the "carpetbag" gentry The town of" Atlanta was then hardly - more than a sort of camp, inhabited by a few of the old citizens, a Yankee garrison and a lot of, what might be called miscellaneous adventurers. The post commandant was an' old Dutchman of autocratic proclivities./Indeed, had he been an eastern pasha under the viceroy of Egypt he could not have had a keener eye 'to exacting "backsheesh." At this-time a few enterprising /-urties had established little shops that went by the name of "sheebangs," tho contents of which could almost be stored away in a drummer's trunk, so tiny were they. But the Dutch pasha kept an eye upon them and constantly levied tribute. Seeing one in a rather flourishing condition, ho demanded quite" a sum of "backsheesh." The owner plucked up his courage and refused to pay it. - ' "Den," cried the Dutch pasha, "I shut up dis sheebang!" * _ , , And it accordingly was shut. Another "source of profit was to levy a, tax oh, every carload of< refugees that passed through the town. If they refused, they were detained" until they paid it, which they finally* did rather' than be turned out of the car and left in Atlanta minus funds arid shelter. Young G. now had ,,the pleasure of interviewing these ' cormorants. After vainly refusing, remonstrating and entreating he, by the advice of friendly' citizens, paid 'the tax, some $20,_ but it seemed .an enormous sum to /the 'ruined' refugees. ; ', , In his absence one of the robber crew came down to the car to inspect the family and their belongings and then calmly demanded his tribute. Mr.. G. was a fiery old man, and he scornfully refused to pay it. A hot altercation ensued. It must be allowed that the Yankee, a' tall, raw boned man, preserved his equanimity, which .only served to exasperate the other. "I'll pay you nothing!" cried the old man. "I have General Croxton's transportation papers that take me heme, and, not a cent will I pay you." 1 "Then you don't leave here," said the other coolly. - ', "You have no right to demand money, from me over'your .superior officer's orders. Just show'me your authority,-sir." "It is the rule here for allerefugees to pay," said" the. man calmly, "and you must." ' ' ��������� "The rule? Who gave you any right to* make a rule? I'll bet you can't show me" any "proof of your authority for so doing." "I don't bet," said the righteous thief, with an indescribable drawl. /'I havo conscientious scruples about it*"' "You!" cried the old man, now badgered into a fury. "You have conscientious scruples! You! God bless my soul! You!" He dropped back in his chair speechless with,auger. Having thus spiked his enemy's"guns, the blackmailer, after again calmly assuring him that he should not leave without pay, took himself off. Young G. soon after appeared and stated that he had paid the tax, as they could not stay over in Atlanta and camp by the railroad track, and it was not worth while resisting when resistance" was useless. They soon after started on their journey over the roughest road on earth, for it had been torn up many times'by the contending armies, and a legend was in circulation that when-the iron rails had been so twisted as to be unfit for use saplings had been improvised into rails and nailed to'the cross ties* so as to take a train over the gaps. The road was so rough that the story did not seem incredible. Marietta, their _ next stopping place, seemed deserted. The only people' they saw were a lot of men busy with a machine straightening railroad rails, so as to use them again. And they had certainly been twisted into the most wonderful shapes in the world. The travelers' route lay now through a dreary country and endless scenes of desolation." They failed to recognize it. lt was the "Shermanizod district." and only chimneys and heaps of ruins marked tho sites of what had been smiling villages. At last they reached Kesaca and then home. It had been, in army parlance, "sacked and gutted." Every window was gone. A soldier, it was said, had tried his prowess with pickax to see if he could, destroy a window at a single blow. He succeeded, the gaping holes causing the house to look like a blind thing. But the roof was there to shelter them, and it belonged to them, and that was a great thing. So they set to work to make themselves comfortable. Before a great while they had in canvas window glass, which, if it kept out most of the light, also kept out most of the wind. ''���������'-. Reminders of the battle were scattered about. The lock of the front door having been broken, it was kept closed by the aid of a weight made out bf half a torpedo with which General Wheeler had blown up the railroad trade near their house. Old Parrott shells were used to prop open the windows, and the fire was stirred with a bayonet, and empty cartridge boxes were used as troughs to feed the cows in, so that there was a warlike flavor about things. But in a year's time the returned refugees had got so to rights that there was little to tell that the house had been in the center of the battlefield-and been a hotly contested spot���������only the grave' of a Confederate, soldier, who slept peacefully in the flower garden, where the roses waved above his head and scattered their perfumed petals over his grave.���������Atlanta Constitution. HORSES AND THEIR DRIVERS. Jttst How 111e Animals Know What io Do Is a Wonder. The man who had never handled horses sat down beside me in front of the store and began to ask questions. "These horses are, most interesting creatures, and you drive them everywhere, they say." * \ "Oh, yes, almost anywhere!" , "Is it hard to control them?" "No, quite. 1 easy if you understand them." "How do' you force them to do what 5011 want?" ' 1 . " ~"~ "Oh, you don't have to force them; just let> them know what you want!" "Indeed! How do you'' communicate your wants to them?" ��������� , ���������' "By the use of reins' attached to. a bit in their mouths and ' by words which' they get to understand, such as a cluck or a chirrup to start and the word 'whoa' to stop, the word 'back' to go backward.' etc." Just at this point a man came slashing up in front of the store with a horse and wagon and, calling "Back!" jumped ' out, and the horse stopped. . "Why doesn't,the horse go backward?" asked my friend. "Well, the driver didn't want him to." "But he,said 'Back!'" ' * ������"Yes, I know, butthe horse knew he didn't mean it." ��������� "But what does 'he say when he means go 'backward?'." , . "The same thing." , "Does the, horse do it? How does he know when he means 'back''and when 'stop?'" ' . . "I don't know, 1 am'sure." ,,, <���������, "Well, this must be a-very dull, man and a very bright horse." ; "Not at all; both a bout; the average.". "This is most peculiar. What'~does the man do -when he , wants the;, horse to start?'.' *"'," ' ','.-' v rtIIe has several 'ways of -j speaking .to him." _ * - '/*_", "Does the horse always start?" - ���������. "Sometimes, lie does * not Cstart very- quickly." , "Then what does the man'do?" "He pulls on the reins." , . ' "Does that always mean to 'go ahead?'" "Well, no; not always. Of.course he pulls on them when he wants him to stop too." , ' , - , "What? The same thing for stopping' and starting?" ' - "Well, not exactly the same, but much the same."' ��������� "Well, well! And what is'the result of. such an outrageously mixed code of sig-* nals? I don't see how,they get along to-, gether.", ' - * ''",-; "Well,' Ljdon't know just liow the horse reasons it, out, but they get on surprisingly welll. The horse just takes it foiv granted that all pulls mean 'go ahead' till'he gets such a long* and strong pull that he-wonders if that is intended for 'stop,' and then he stops,. and if he doesn't get a cut of the whip he c<wcludes_ he must haveguessed right." "In the name of common sense, are there any more complications,for the poor horse to figure out?" * * ������ ������������������ "Well, yes;_ there are a few more, of course. They usually pull on both reins when they want to urge him on, but sometimes they.jerk on one." _ "But that means 'turn.' " , ' "Yes, but he mustn't turn when the jerk is not intended for 'turn,' or he will get a harder jerk on the other rein." "How does he manage it?' "Well, hesupposesthat all ordinary jerks mean 'go ahead,', but when he gets an extra hard and long one he _ tries turning, and if nothing happens he knows that was what was meant." "Doesn't this guessing policy make driving unpleasant?" r "Yes, both unpleasant and difficult. The driver has to use about twice the strength necessary and does not accomplish the results he wants nearly as quickly or easily, and it is much harder and more . unpleasant for the horse." "Well, why do they keep it up then?" "I am sure I do not know." "Well, well! Do many people use this method of driving?" "Yes, most people." "What explanation do they give?" "When they give any they say, "It is easier.' " "Then I suppose it must be.M "No, it is not." "Are you sure?" "Sore." "Well, well! I must make a note of this. It is most interesting."

He watched me.like a hawk while,1 was .carrying his things down, stairs and loading them in the' wagon- When I got ready;to drive'off, _he said: 'Oh', by the way, I' have an. extra valise here I wish you'd put in with the other things if it isn't too-much trouble. I'd carry it myself, but I'm not going straight up to the house, and I hate to be bothered .with lugging it around all over town.' , ,j "Now, it was against the rules of the company for the driver to haul'anything for a customer not, listed at the office. I told Collins so, .but he didn't give a continental ��������� for' laws and'regulations.'��������� " 'Oh, pshaw!' he, said. .'That'll be all 'right.* Nobody need know,tanything,about it but you 0and me. It'ir.be a great favor to me for you to take the. grip, and I'll make it worth your' while.'" " /', ��������� " " "Clear up" to the last minute my judgment argued that the. course - of wisdom -was to persist in my^ first refusal, but Collins' insistence* 'finally' won .the -day, and I consented to take the gript. Collins I went down to" the street, with me, and j just before. I mounted to the seat he j pressed a half dollar into my hand as a sedative for my uneasy conscience. I drove direct' from' Forty-fourth street to Collins'- new boarding house, but when I got there the grip was gone., Collins raised a terrible row about it.' He maintained , that it contained odds and ends of valua- ' ble bric-a-brac, and he threatened "to bring suit against the company for $100. _ The company * acted wonderfully white with me. Although they could be held in no- ,wise guilty for'a-violation of their rules, they naturally disliked police court notoriety and finally compromised with Collins for'$50, of which- they ' generously paid one-half, thus letting me off with a punishment fee of only $25. "Three months after that I left;the Eighth street concern and went to work for a .company, up on Columbus avenue. -One evening shortly after I-was sent out to fill several orders that had' come' in late'in'the afternoon. I .was',half dead that night with toothache, and my companion, a good natured sort of fellow, did most of the work and attended to all of the details of the moving. So intense waa my pain that 1 gave scarcely a thought to where we were or what we were doing until I heard my man snorting around and swearing'Jike all possessed. Then I got up spunk enough to ask what was the matter. " 'Holy smoke,' he said, 'that grip is gone! That fellow' up on Seventy-fifth street insisted upon my bringing a valise along with his trunk and boxes, paid ma 50 cents extra for doing it, and now it's gone. I'm in a pretty fix, I am.' "Instantly my tooth ceased to jump and my heart took up the tempestuous refrain. 'Was the man's name Collins?' I asked. " 'Yes.'said he. 'Did you see him? He .was monkeying around between the house and the wagon all the time, but it was kind of dark, and you had your face all bundled up and seemed to be more dead than alive, and I didn't think you took any notice of him.' " 'I didn't,' said I, 'but I know how h������ looks.' Then'I described Collins to a T. Sure enough, .it was my old friend J. C. who had met with the loss, and again' h������ got damages for bric-a-brac which had been packed in his grip. At that I began to get suspicious, and when I went into business for myself a few .weeks later I resolved to keep an eye open for J. Collins. I hadn't been on this corner two weeks before I fell foul of Collins. He wanted to Be moved again, this time to the depot. I deputed one of my men to transact business with him, and that night when the driver went- oyer after his' trunks I hovered around in the background and watched his movements. His trick was simple. He swiped his own grip, which was comparatively easy to do, considering hV always had the expressman call late in the evening. I hurried over to the depot ahead of him to watch the entire proceeding. As usual he flew into. a terrible rage when the driver reported that the grip was lost and demanded satisfaction then and there. Then I stepped up, and in less than five minutes J. Collins had become considerably wiser. \ _ " 'I ought to bring you into court,' said I, 'and make an example of you, for I don't doubt that there are other dead- beats working the express companies the same way, only they may not do it so frequently, but if you pay me what you soaked me and my friends for I'll let you off.' ��������������������������� , "J. Collins was inclined to show fight at first, but he soon weakened. 'I haven't got the money here with me,' he slid l' ��������� ���������'' '" 'Then get it,' said I. 'You won't leave this town till you do.' "He saw I was in earnest and dived down into his pockets and forked over the money."- ��������� Sharp Man.

Ben Webster, an English actor, told a good story of bow he held his own when Sir Henry Irving happened to be absentmiuded. In the "Lyons Mail" there is a touching scene between Le- surques (played by Irving) and his daughter Julie, of which Didier (Mr. Ben Webster) is a perfectly silent witness. One night Sir Henry, Instead of making his long speech, appealed in trembling tones to Mr. Webster: "Speak to her, Didier; speak to her!" Didier was dumfounded. There was an awful pause. Irving, quite unconscious of his own mistake, frowned wrathfully at the young actor, but Mr. Webster, equal to the occasion, gave way to a- burst of tears and exclaimed, "1 cannot; you know 1 cannot speakl" and turned his back on the audience. Then Sir Henry picked .up his lines with a start, and it was observed that Didier's shoulders shook with emotionj Victoria's Proposal. It was at Windsor castle that Queen Victoria, then only a girl of 20, did what sbe described as "the most nervous thing a woman was ever called on to do"���������when she summoned the young 'Prince Albert'of Saxe-Coburg-Goth'a tc a private interview and "proposed" tc him.

' -Sandwick, B.C., Julv31, 1901. * Editor Cumberland News--Sir: a Allow me very briefly to , answer ,the second question asked by the' boys about the use of tobacco. The first question, ")Vhat \a ill it cost,"- ' i in twenty years, from 18 -to' 40, I have told you at 3 good cigars and 2 drinks of beer will come to over $4,000. Bui aiyoung gentleman at Courtenay'told me he could run an ,old fashio: ed pipe as far as'.tobaoco was concerned for only 30 cents a 'week or about $350 if, .you allow ' anything for the cost of pipes. How nice to have three or four hundred , dollars in the bank when you are; 40 years old and need it. k And ** \- can you. earn it honestly ��������� in any easier way than by Jetting tobacco alone?" * But the Second Question'is '���������What'harm -villi it do .us?;'-' , In answer to this I venture to state; without fear of t-uceessful "contra- dicti .n, that tobacco contains' nicor tino which (ends to vitiate.' and destroy the user. It is'true that 'some persops follow, the'habit for a long time whhuut any app irent in- jury, but-every, physician whom 1 have "consulted on 'thev subject, stated thaVit'was-unnecessary ���������' to health, and was. often the car.Sd* of chroi.ic diseases'of the heart and stomach.. . A single Case is not' always sufflcient'evidenco to justify or condemn, but where statistics of large numbess are taken, ,the conclusion is pretty sure to be ths cor-, rect one. The Minister or Super?n- tendent of JEducati m for tbe Stale of California in giving evidence before the State Legislature ao" Sacri- mento, stated that "the b >ys who smoked and chewed tobacco, fell far behind in their studies, and were much worsein every way than those who did not."u So you can' see the use of tobacco will degrade you morally, mentally, physically, socially and financiall}*-. ' Who wants to be a victim of a degrading' habit? If you mi'.st spend money foolishly, slip your bills quietiy one at a time into the stove, and e-irn more to make a good use of it, that is the advice of your humble servant. V'^rS ' VVv".
