A woman's Way.


Nv lady knew that her face was fair.
She knew that the artist was famed aud
great
so for many day she came At his call,
And in his studio posed in state.
In a robe of violet velvet drest-
Dressed in Iaces filny and fine,
While shawl of marvellous texture traiieo
of from her shoulders-shape divine.
Fair and fairer the picture grew,
Day by day meath the artist hand
soft and softer the light OF the eyes
OF my iady's eyes, as the weeks were span
ned.
She gazed on the artist al the day,
Watching the touch of his magic hand
He thought of the picture as so much-palnt;
She thought but of him-you understand
When the picture was done she went her way,
But she carried a dream TO the end OF life;
When the picture was done-he forget her
name
And entered the picture as Somebody's
Wife.
The same old story, you've heard it oft.
The ways of fate are trlte stern
And when one enters on love domain
IT is hard TO predict how he may return.
But l almost envy her the dream,
So sweet. so subtle so slow TO fade,
To love is better than 10 possess.
And we love so long when by fate betrayed.

The Tobacco Chewer.
Do Won see this fellnMl

He is leaning against the wall of the
grocery. Look at the puddle all around him
on the sidewalk See his dripping jaws
Look at his bedribbled shirt bosom, vest and
trousers. The lady is trying to pass She
has on a new dress, with clean white skirts
She holds up her dress in horror, and SHES
around that puddle as though it was small
pox, or snake. She will be lucky if the
fellow does not actually expectorate upon
her beautiful silk dress.
He is a tobacco chewer
He travels ON the cars sometimes. When
he does so he splatters the floor within a
yard around him. A bad smell comes up
around the place. If you happen to look
that way you get so sick you don't know
what to do. Your insides roll as if you were
seasick. You feel as though. if your dear
est friend on earth chewed and spit tobacco,
that you never want to come within a mile
of him again. You remember that in tray-
cling all through Europe you never saw a
man chew tobacco or spit upon the floor, or
anywhere else. Nobody but Americans spit
incessantly Boys, remember, it is not neces-
sary at ALL 1t is only a habit, and the sick
eningest habit Americans have. Don't get
in the way of it if you want to be called a
gentleman.
When the disgusting tobacco splitter comes
his place empty. Decent people shun that
seat as if it was plague spot. Ladies look
at it, draw back their skirts, and look awfully
sour. Good gracious! They'd rather stand
for two or three hours than bring their
pretty clothing in contact with that filth
When this fellow was boy he thought it
was smart" to learn to chew tobacco and
squirt and expectorate all over creation.
He thought it looked big and manly. Now
that he is a man, he would almost give his
head, sometimes, if he'd never learned. He
can't expectorate in parlor, in church or
any place where nice people are and he is in
torment if he is not rolling his quid in his
mouth, like COW chewing her cud. He
would give the world to quit it, but he
can't. If you ask him, and he gives you an
honest answer, he will tell you so.
Boys, the only way is never to learn in the
first place.

Plug Tobacco in Washington.

There is much more plug tobacco seen
in Washington now than ever before.
We sell much more plug tobacco than
any other kind. said the manager of a
prominent tobacco establishment of the
city. There is very large number of
southern people here. you know, and
they all use plug tobacco. You couldn't
get southerner to use soft tobacco, I'M
less it was the case of some old fellow
whose teeth were so bad he had to give
up the plug. All the southerners use
plug. The eastern men, and those from
the north and west generally use fine-cut;
but you can't sell it to genuine south
erner. The eastern men generally spend
the most money for tobacco in one way or
the other. They buy the best they can
get. and when they smoke, run high up in
price. These New York fellows who
come here usually buy 25 cent cigars,
while your average Congressman and
senator from the south buys and 10 cent

No naturalist has, so far as we are

the problem OF why this kind of pigeon

Once there was little girl who all through
her childhood kept looking for a humming
birds ne t. Every June when the bright
wild. fitting creatures came she watched
them day 10y day, and tried to follow them
TO their homes. Once she caught one of the
birds, and examined him as if he had been
shining creature from another world. After
looking at him carefully she let him GO He
flew away to his gay, fluttering friends,
frightened almost to death.
But in all her childhood the girl never
found the nest of one. AT last, after years
had passed and the child was a grown wo-
man, one day she found the humming birds
nest 1t was cuddled close in a cluster of
honeysuckle, here as you see in the picture
She had hunted for it twenty years.
The nest is very small, no more than an
inch across. 1t is often found under the
leaves of an old apple tree. 1t is entirely
covered with lichens, such as grow upon the
rails of old fences Thus hidden, it would
not be apt to be found by the sharpesf eye
The inside of the nest is built of soft hbres
from plants The most beautiful humming
birds are found in South America. More
than 800 varieties of them are found there.
