An importer of Havana Tobacco
An Havana filler and a nice penusyl-
vania wrapper makes almost as good a
smoke as a whole Havana cigar. and the
great majority of smokers are not able
70 detect the difference. Havana filters
we must have In this country at any
cost, but we can get along very nicely
without the wrappers. 4 domestic
filler in an Havana wrapper Is like old
wine in new bottles. OF course your
connoisseur in tobacco can detect
the domestic wrapper, but I
would defy him 70 point out any dis.
tinctive excellence In the whole Havana
cigar other than that which exists In
his Imagination. The duty on Havana
wrappers is 81 2j per pound aud Sl3j
on the filler. Manufacturers find that
by purchasing imported filters 10 bulk
and by the use Of domestic wrappers
they can turn out finished cigar not
whit inferior to the Cuban cigar. The
workmanship IN the United States Is the
same as In Cuba. A Key West filler
(which Is duty free and an Havana
wrapper forms a cigar quite as go)d as
the average Cuban cigar.
Mrs Ellen Foster Of Iowa-what do

] do not consider a $500 license high rs
compared with some Of the other cities.
When | was In Philadelphia I observed
the large number Of persons who we're
paying their licenses. Not all the H.
censcs were approved, but men were
there with money Ia their pockets to
pay them had they been accepted. Il
makes no difference how high the II
cense Is, men will pay It. High license
does not prohibit, and as long rs men
have licenses the traffic will 90 on, en-

A Minister-YOu would be surprised
10 know what a greatly-increased interest
has been eyineed in church work by
the young people Of late, Especially is
this noticeable among the young men
of the various congregations. They
seem 10 be awakening 10 the realization
Of the fact that there Is work for them
10 do, and are displaying a laudable de
sire TO promote the growth OF their
churches.
A Shoe Dealer-OuT business Is duller
al present than Il has been al this sea
son for some years. This Is probably
due 10 the large number of new shoe
stores which have been opened. In a
short time. however their presence will
not be fell and all will have as much to
do as they can attend To- The trouble
is that whenever a new store Is opened
= certain number Of patrons of the al
ready established firms 60 there in
search Of bargains, but their places are
soon tilled by others, so that O the end
no one is hurt.

where there Is less pride taken IN this

are ancient, dirty and poorly up

expect that In a city visited By so many
tourists and sight seeTs aud where there

There Is a big chance for improvement
in the service in Washington.
