What IL Costs to Smoke.

Last year the losses by reported fires In
the United States reached "A total OF $780,
0sO,OUO, or an average monthly loss OF &c.
90 OOJ. This is regarded as an enormous
waste, and is largely due TO Incendiarism
and carele ssness. How 10 reduce tho
amount so lost is matter OF constant study.
Legislatures, local government, and In
surance companies make regulations, and
exercise the gre atest care to prevent fires.
And yet the loss they occasion is ST., zoe, 900
per annum less than the amount
paid by the consumers for cigars, and $751;,
300, OOJ less than the total cost OF tobacco
consumed in smoke. Last year, tax was
paid upon 35lO,S9S ASS cigars. The aver
age smoker Is content with cigar worth
50 per l,000 or one that retails At five
cents. On that basis, there annually goes
up In smoke $lS0,0OO,0OO, or $4,000, 600

Singular verillcatIou of a Dream.

which came true TO dot His brother

Kelly, tho noted Indian scout, who was
with Gen. Miles in his Indian fighting in
the far west. The st. Paul man was in
bismarck for a time that year, and there
his brother introduced him 10 Kelly and
the two became the warmest kind of
friends, for there was something in the
makeup Of each that attracted the other.
The IT. Paul man came home after few

Indian expedition. On the night of the 9th
OF September the -. Paul man had q
