AN INFANT SMOKER.
A Springfield (O.) Youngster who Ha'

Averaged Fifteen Cigars Day Since
the Ago of Fourteen MOnths.
[Sprlngneld t0) Special.
A German boy three years of ase lives
with his father who keeps II saloon on East
Main street. Yesterday tie little fellow
was seen putting away at huge black
cigar, with all the nonchaence of the most
habitual smoker. The little boys father,
John Spangenberger, on the subject being
mentioned to him, seemed proud of his
sons accomplishment, and stated the fol-
lowing story: "When the boy was an in
fant in arms, fourteen months old, cigar
was given him in fun by one of the custom.
ers in the saloon. Instead Of growing
deathly sick, and dropping It, the little
fellow clutched it with his fingers and
seemed to enjoy it, smoking 1t to the very
end. From that first cigar his taste for
smoking commenced. Every day the child
cries for cigars. The taste seemed to take
such terrific hold on the baby's appetite
that he was soon smoking all the time-one
cigar after another until he reached the
appalling number of twenty per day.
Nothing else would pacify him, and he
would cry bitterly when not allowed his
twenty cigars per day. Though we could
see no evil effects from the use of the weed,
we grew alarmed and called
physician, who made minute
examination of the little fellow
and, finding no evil results from the use OF
the tobacco, told us that the habit would
do the child no harm. Reassured by this
statement, we allowed free rein to our
child,s appetite, and he has been habitual
smoker from that day to this. Pipes, ci.
gars, cigarettes, everything Of a smoking
nature that fell in his way, were eagerly
consumed. He commenced to chew also,
but this second habit was promptly pro-
hibited by me-"
The boy is now in kilt suits, and will be
four years old on the 9th of next Febru'
ary. His habit attracts unbounded amuse'
ment and admiration from the patrons Of
his fathers saloon, and many are the
cigars which fall TO his share from custo'
mers, who desire to see him smoke. For
the past four months he has only averaged
from ten to twelve cigars per day, and
smokes slowly and seems to enjoy it huge
ly. His parents claim that the haolt mas
cured him of chronic diarrhea, with
which he bad been afflicted from birth.
The boy is fat, chunky little fellow OF
pronounced German appearance. He
seems of a lively, jolly disposition, and
I betrays not the least trace Of nervousness.
The parents attribute his obesity to the
smoking, as he avoids all fat food in eat.
ing, and never drinks wine or beer. He
will only smoke one particular brand OF
cigars, and it is extremely amusing to see
him toddle down in the morning before

This obtained, he will light 1t with th'
most profound gravity and puff away will

sisters show not the least disposition to

A MIDNIGHT SENSATION.
The Strange Experience of Maine Doc
tor-His Mysterious Patients.
InnnA.., crnninl1

t]oston Special
An extraordinary story comes from
Biddeford, Me. Yesterday morning a
large quantity of blood and hair was found
near the corner of Summer and Birch
streets in that place, trampled into the
snow, giving evidence that struggle had
taken place during the night. A family in
that vicinity heard team drive up there
about ten o'clock in the evening, and not
long after groans were heard. Traces of
blood could be followed several rods upon
Summer street, and the police found
woman's hat near the spot, where the blood
MAS found. To-day DR.. Grafton, a physi'
clan of good standing there, says that some
time during Saturday night he was called
by two men, one of whom he had seen be-
fore. The other was a stranger. They Sc
cured him TO go with them. When they
got to Franklin street they put bandage
over his eyes and led him through several
streets. He knew he was In the vicin-
ity of the Methodist Church at one
time, and near the Summer street school.
house, and the house they finally entered
was, he thinks, in that vicinity. The par
lor of the house was carpeted. They led
him into an uncarpeted bedroom, and here
he found young woman with deep cash
extending from the right ear down TO her
throat. She was extremely low from loss
Of blood, her pulse being about forty OF
fifty. All she said was: "Doctor, for
Gods sake save my life" J" He feared that she
would die while he was there, and doesn't
think she could have lived five minutes
longer had he not been there. He con.
nocted the arteries and plastered the
wound. He knocked at the door, which
had been closed when he entered, and was
then taken to another room, where he
found man with a cut from his nostril
down to the mouth and one tooth knocked
In. This man was In bed and the bedding
was bloody. The man had dark mus

Eight acres of sandy loan, i ht. fine
and level, all in one piece ll,af the
house and barn; no stone, no fences, no
waste, every loot tillable, no TIM lost
going to and from work; horse wagons,
harness aud tools last indel nitely, hav-
ing the least wear and tear possible.
Having good market near by for veg
etables and good one for milk at the
door, | raise both, and so one thing
helps another on land and in market.
Having the land and market, and the
crops to be raised decided upon, the
course is open to success, If the land is
worked right. A small farm is no dis
grace; it takes more brains to work
small farm than large one and get a
living from it.
My father said to his son more than
score of years ago: "You have too lit
tie land; no man yet ever got rich from
his own labor; do not spend your time
trading around in half-bushel meas
ure; sell out; get more land and do q
business that amounts 70 something"
Very good advice to u man with money
to pay for big farm. But all can not
have big farms; place in this world is
left and must be filled by the small
land-holder who can only buy small
tract but who has the sagacity to see
that it will answer his purpose in the
line OF agriculture. Land there is, and
plenty OF it, for all; but it is only the
right use of it which brings success.
A neighbor of mine thrives on his
farm OF twenty acres, makes money
and lends it to his neighbors who have
more land than they own. He was
warned he would starve on his barren
land by those who are now borrowing
his money. Another neighbor finds
sixteen acres of the best Of land too
little to furnish three persons living.
I have received letters asking how it is
that raise so much, on so small sur
face. To all inquirers ! say: "Come
and see.n We are in operation sum-
mer and winter. and always busy.
Just now we have three cows; sell milk
at four cents per quart at the door;
market ten dollars worth of vegetables

The following table shows the average
prices Of leading articles in this market for
eleven years past, on currency basis.
These are not the lowest and highest prices
touched in that period, but the table pre-
sents fairer view Of tho variations in
nominal value than would an attempt to
record the minor fluctuations. The figures
represent dollars per barrel for pork, per
ton for coal and plg.iron, per one thousand
feet for lumber, and per one hundred
pounds for live stock. They represent
cents per bushel for grain and naxseed,
per yard for prints and muslins, and per
