demand for them. find the greatest
variance in tastes for pipes between city
and country folks. As general rule
city man purchases pipe from
motives of economy. He wants a good
pipe, and doesn't hesitate to purchase
meerschaum. Sometimes a city man
buys pipe because it has novel shape,
but as a rule desire to economic
leads to the abandonment OF cigars and
the use OF pipe Sooner or later, how
ever. the pipe is discarded in favor of
cigars. With countryman things are
different He buys pipe for daily use,
and really prefers it to a cigar.
Other tradesmen said that notWith-
standing the enormous increase OF the
manufacture OF cigars, the demand for
pipes is not curtaiied. One dealer said
that the demand is now twenty five per
cent greater than five years ago, and
he thought pipes would always sell, on
account of economy and their Ameri-
canized shapes. The styles of pipe are
legion, but the favorite style in demand
with smokers is the London pipe

Economy lis Wealth.

A father, accompanied by his little
son, called at a drug store on one OF the
avenues and asked Tor a cheap sponge.
He was one Of our rich citizens, and as
he spoke he fumbled with his massive
gold watch chain, and looked worth a
million.
The druggist put a lot Of sponges be-
fore him, and he glanced through the
lot and asked how much they We're.
]. All the way from fifty cents to one
dollar, said the drug man.
/. Oh, but want it for the boys
slate, said the citizen; 1T is hardly
worth while to pay so much.
8 Well, then, these are what you
need, 4 said the druggist, as he put out
q collection Of small, hard sponges.
These are five cents each. = IS
The wealthy citizen fingered them
over, and examined them one by one,
and still did not seem satisfied.
Here are some at one cent each, =
said the druggist, who began to know
his man, you might find something
among these, =
The citizen examined each one and
still hesitated. At; last he selected a
small dark fragment, and holding it up,
said:
!. This one seems to be imperfect.
How much will it be? ''
I. N othing.n answered the druggist,
shortly, as be re-arranged his stock Of
sponges Have it done up?
S. No, 50 said the citizen, handing it to
the boy and following him cut, when
the youngster was heard to ask:
Say. pa, ain t you going to give me

brisk OF the dam, where the current
broke over and plunged down the gulf.
lii a moment the object OF his interest
appeared, skiff. panther and all, hung
second on the brink, and then with the
roar ng waters rushed down among the
rocks.
The dam was built just at the upper
end of dark, winding rapid, or sac-
cession of tails, and Levi now looked
for his broken boat and the crushed
panther to emerge into the eddy. The.
skif soon appeared crushed in pieces,
the seats, sides and bottom in separate
fragments But several minutes passed
and no panther; and the boy began to
say within himself with some anxiety:
..Can it be she isn't killed22 Eagerly
he began to sean the steep banks lest
she might crawl out OF the toaming
stream and catch him yet.
Soon, however. something submerged
and passive came, slowly drifting into
the eddy, and as it circled nearer he
recognized the panther, lax, and APP
parently lifeless. Round and round it
went, gradually nearing the shore, until
by wading in a step or two Levi was
able to reach it with a pole and give it
thrust. AS it showed no signs of life.
the next time it came around he hooked
pronged stick over it. and, exerting
ali his n ne-year-old might, slowly drew
it toward him.
As it finally came into. shallower
water, Levi bethought himself to keep
it under still longer, until he could be
sure it was drowned. So dragging the
bottom of the broken boat to the spot,
he placed it over the body, and, stand
ing upon it, his weight held it down.
According to Lewis own account, this
was his time OF highest excitement. He
danced and laughed and shouted, there
on the upturned bottom OF the skif, over
his slain enemy, perhaps with less dig
nifty than David showed as he stood on
Goliath's dead body, but certainly with
no less joy.
The rest Of the incident is quickly
| told.
The dog ran directly home. and as he
manifested great fright. the family were
concerned Tor Levi. The father at once
set out to find him, and naturally, after
failing to discover him in the direction
of the trout brook, came to the dam,
