ways leave in cab. Now, the neigh
Dors might regard it little bit odd to
see party of men drive away in cab
from this house late at night two and
sometimes three times a week, so the
right kind of cabman had to be Sc
cured. 1T would seem his horses feet
are shod with wool and that the wheels
OF his cab are swathed in flannel. He
makes not bit of noise. He drives up
TO the front door safely; no one hears

anything else. The gang descend the
front steps, get into the cab, and never
TAX word of poker till they are around

ADVICE TO CIGAR SMOKERS.
Buy ''Twenty-F'iye" Boxes and Do
Not Select Light-Colored Ci-


''Have you noticed the change that
has come over the trade respecting the
standard cigar boX?" asked leading
dealer of New York Mail and Express
reporter recently mot very many
years ago the standard box held 100 ci-
gars. Now the standard holds but
fifty, and the still smaller box
holding but twenty-five is rap
idly pushing to the front. Is
this not accounted for on the principle
that as nations become more civilized
the coins in use become Subdivided to
meet the demands of more diversified
trade? May it not come from leaning
toward fresh cigar? When one man
attempts to consume box containing
100 cigars he finds the last row too dry,
and hence his change to the fifty OF the
twenty-five box.
But" continued the dealer, ''if the
wholesale and retail tobacconists of this
country do not soon awake from their
long sleep they will wake up some fine
morning and find that their trade
great peril, and the work they
are now refusing to do will be many
times harder when the critical point is
reached. The point in question is that
foolish freak in nature, the insane
fashion for light-colored cigars, and
without one word OF comment or eX-
PLANTATION, the tobacconiStS have been
catering to that silly whim. Matters
have gone from bad to worse, until
whole crops of tobacco have been ruined
in the endeavor to supply something
that nature would not produce. In
the tobacco-growing districts of Cuba
the crops have been cut long before
maturity, and as natural consequence
very inferior tobacco was the result.
The consumer still asks for light-col-
ored cigars, and at the same time con-
demns the inferior quality of later-day
tobacco, that nine times out of ten has
been spoiled in order to satisfy his crav-
ing for a pale cigar. This is all wrong,
and it is within the power of the retailer
to counteract this tendency on the part
OF the consumer and bring him to a re-
aliZing sense of his own danger.
1t is needless to lay down a set of
rules for the guidance Of tobacconists.
They know that the soil and climate of
Cuba will not produce light cigar to-
baccO any better than any other. When
nature produces a tobacco light in color
it is unsuited for cigars-a we'll known
fact the world over. This is the rule
that nature herself has made, and when
you get pale color. you may know that
the tobacco has been dOct0red and unfit
in richness and aroma for a delicious
smoke The last crop of Havana
tobacco is dark; the coming crop will,
in all probability, be dark also;
and if the dealers do not bestir
themselves and enter into the work of
converting their misguided customers
they will imperil their trade in the finer
grades of cigars. The Havana tobacco
eXcels all others for cigars. The Mexi-
can and Manila weeds are favorites for
cheroots. The Kentucky tobacco is in
termediate in character. The tobacco
of Virginia is the best for pipe smoking.
while that from Maryland is used for
the cheaper grades of cigars"

tieular, the young men of society do not
take more to the wheel. Most of them
belong to the boat clubs or are horse
men, and what with pulling a shell
across the river, or jogging astride a
pony all over the city, they do not have
very much use for bicycle. And,
again, it has not yet become fashionable
here. So far there are two bicycle clubs
in the city, the Standard and the Y. M.

October, and did pretty well, for this

its captain last year, and succeeded in
turning out some very fast amateurs.
ognized club of the city, has about
twenty-five members, with the follow
ing officers: President, G. A. Roach;
vice president. f. A. May; secretary,
ii. w. Burroughs; treasurer, K. +. Lott;
captain, Frank Hertz, and first lieu
tenant, Sprague Haskell. Their next
meeting will be on the first Saturday in
July.
Thus far the boys have covered from
about 175 to about 200 miles every week,
keeping themselves in constant
practice. This spring they have run at
different times to Saltwater, AnOka,
Hastings, Faribault and Pennington.
They haven't timed themselves yet to
see how fast they could go, but doubt
less they can show up well alongside
some of the best clubs in the country.
They use either VictOrS OF Columbia
bicycles.
Notwithstanding what may be said
to the contrary concerning the country
roads around st. Paul and Minneapolis,
their president, Mr.. Roach, regards
these roads as being
AWAY THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY
and to back this he says he has had
considerable experience in different
parts of the country.
The Minnesota division meet will
occur at Minneapolis soon, and this will
include bicyclerS from Minnesota, Wis
consin and part of Iowa.
Among the best bicyclists of the city
are, in addition to the officers of the two
clubs, Messrs.- Fred Kellogg, George

low creatures. 1t has been whispered to
me by persons moving III intellectual
circles that the effect of even 1.-THE

hilarating. 1t may improve the mind
without improving the man, and as
companion fact it often leaves him
duller than it found him, because he
has been educated beyond his wits.
The mind of man is very curious. and
can not be catered for without ones in

What makes me laugh in my sleeves
is the fury into which preachers and

Jaws and tuskS, champing and cracking

feroclous brute bravery. To one side
and another he sprang as the dog
crowded him. Then he would charge
the dog and whirl in the air, scattering
the earth like an exploding shell.
Closer and closer crowded the two
brutes, in air half the time, each bent
on death, the dog frequently clearing
the boar at bound, and maddening
him with savage Snappings and lacera-

agility, frequently sending the boar four

though a cyclone of dog, boar, mud,

Points About PoIiteness.

San FRANCISCO Cnronlcle.
They say that the lower classes have
no politeness. 1t is not so. You can
go into dive and you'll find a vien of
politeness that you can't mistake. 1t
may not be as effective or as cordial as
you find it in the upper classes, but If
him drink, he'll do it politely. You
would think that man who
kept an all-night bar on Barbary
coast might reasonably be eX-
cused if he sometimes failed
in politeness, but such little episodes as
this go to elevate, in our opinion. these
hard-worKed citizens. 1t was about
O'Clock in the morning. Inside of the
swinging lattice door of red-lampe d
gin-mill one could hear the sound of
voices raised above concert pitch, and
that vague, undecided sound that sug-
gests barkeeper going to throw man
out into the street. Suddenly the lattice
doors parted and human figure came
flying out head first. as if he had been
thrown from catapult. He described
a graceful curve and struck the pave
ment below, flop, not having had time
to rest on any of the steps as he came
down. A man in his shirt sleeves came
out following him and stood on the steps
watching him picking himself up. When
he got well shaken together again the
gentlemen in his shirt sleeves spoke
blandly and with strain of sympathy
in his voice:

you should get out"
