"Wall, now Pll tell you. don't reckon there is

"That's all right, old fellow. l didn't mean any
reflection. You see, when a very old man dies the
newspapers, particularly the temperance publica-
tions, say that he used tobacco liquor and
what said was merely take-off."
"Yes," said the visitor, "your intentions were all
right, but what you say amt the truth. The old
lady usually took chew of tobacco about the size
of walnut and don't reckon there was a better

AN ICONOCLAST.

Extract from the diary of traveller: l crossed
over into Stilhope county, Kentucky, aud for a
time found deep interest in the contemplation of
the scenery. Every turn of the bridle- path pre-
sented new beauty to me; and every heavily tim
bered slope held grandeur of landscape but after
awhile became tired l wanted to see more evil
dences of the civilization of man. l wanted to
smell boiling pot. After awhile l came to q
house 1t was mean looking structure, built of
logs, but the sight of it most pleasant to me,
for had heard of the hospitality of this wild
region, and knew that should find no difficulty
in getting something to eat. had dismounted and
had tied my horse to ssping before the house
showed any signs of life. Then man came out
He was lank and wiry- bearded, had nose that
resembled hawks bill and wore boots that must
have taken into their construction at least half of
the hide of an average-size steer. He came for
ward, wiping his hands on his trousers, and saw
that he had been greasing his boots with tallow
'Mawnin, mawnin' !" he exclaimed.
"How are your"
Just then, discovering dog, drew back
"Come right on; he won't hurt you"
"But he will Look at him I" yelled
"Oh, he'll grab you eff he gifts chance but his
teeths SO bad that he ken only pinch little Step
right this way"
did step that way, and l stepped in lively
manner too, for could see that nothing would do
the dog more good than to "pinch me little"
"Thar amt nobody at home but me and Zeb
thar" said the man. Zeb was a small boy "Wife

the gun, but know that the old dog could not
have caught me as was getting out of the yard.

When any portion OF the mechanism

from some very trifling cause. and the

exactly what is the matter. To be-
come a master in the art Of repairing

the stitch is formed and the work fed.
Very little manual skill il really

needles and the skipping Of stitches

Then "a the end down from the

worst habits q man or . boy who wants

that OF smoking cigarettes. 1t has
been my observation In gymnasiums
that cigarette smoking is worse than

may smoke cigarettes for years and
never find that it Injuries him as long
as he Is not called on for hard work Of
any kind; but let him 60 into training
Or undertake violent exercise. and he

when a man smokes cigarettes. they

continued. that cigarette smokers.
when they want to 60 into training.
find il much harder 20 stop smoking
than those who use pipes or cigars. ]
