rnauneey NJ. Depew and the cigar.

Mr.. Depew, the ~well-known orator and
railroad president, related the following
experience of his victory over the cigar.
Il nsed to smoke twenty cigars a day
and continued it until / became worn out.
| didn't know what WAS the matter With
me. and physicians that applied to did
not mention tobacco. l used to go to bed
at two o'clock ia the morning, and wake
at five or six. l had 20 appetite, and was
a dyspeptie.
4 was in the habit OF smoking at my
desk. and thought that | derived material
assistance in my work from it. After a
time / found that l couldn't do any work
without tobacco. l could prepare a brief
or argument without tobacco, but still l
was harTassed by feeling that something
was amiss. and the result was not up to
the mark.
Il also found that l was incapable of
doing any great amount Of work. Ny
power OF concentration wa5 greatly weak
ened, ard / could not think we'll without
a lighted cigar IN my mouth. Now it is
perfectly clear that without this power OF
concentration a man is incapable of doing
many things. 1t is this which enables him
to attend to various multifarious affairs, to
drop one absolutely, and take up another
and give it full attention.
lore day I bought a cigar and was puff
ing it with a feeling of pleasure which is
only possible to the desotee. | smoked
only a few minutes and then took it out of
my mouth and looked at it. said to
it: Ny friend and bosom companion, you
have always been dsarer to me far
than gold. To you l have ever been de-
voted, yet you are the cause of all my ills.
You have PLAYED me false. The time has

bacco was running me.
For three months thereafter | under

pect to suffer more in this world or the next.
| didn't go to any physician or endeayor
in any way to paliiate my sufferings. Pos
sible a physician might have given me
something to soften the fortunes. Neither
did l break my vow, l had made up my
mind that | must forever abandon tobacco,
or | would be ruined by it.

AhoHerAofGold

1t is said of an emperor of China that be
was a temperance man. He loved the cup
of cold water. he hated the Intoxicating
bowl. He was clean in bis habits, pleas.
ant in his manners, a friend of his people
But he was much distressed at the sight
of d%estitution and w~retchedness incurred
by the habit of drinking. The horrors of
the liquor shop wore upon him till be
could endure it no longer. He issued a
decree that every saloon in the empire
should be closed. That was prohibition
like a thunderbolt. But the most remark,
able thing related by the story is, that
three days after the prohibition went into
effect. the heavens rained gold. It fell
down like showers Of wheat; the people
gathered it in great quantities; they had
regained their senses since drunkenness.
was stopped, and got rich. This latter
part OF the ancient story may be meta
phorical. Yet it is just what we would
expect to follow a thorough prohibition of
the liquor business. What an abundance
of wealth would descend Upon the people,
in the precious coin of domestic Joy, public
peace, individual happiness and national
prosperity, if the outrageous traffic in in
toxicsnts were wiped out. What a rain of
gold, if the cost and expenses arising out
of that diabolical trade were turned into
a shower of gains instead of losses

in these words:

Last February we bought more than a car

been selling for - cents a gallon. About that
time we also bought 80 barrels of higher grade
TO sell at 40 cents. The % cent was such good
value that the 40 cent quality was neglected,
and the consequence il that We have . bar
fels of II yet on hand. New crop will be here
in January, and although we might possibly
sell the entire % barrels in the meantime at a
drop of 5 cents a gallon, we want to move il
out quick, and TO do this will sell it, the 40c.

The crop bulletin just issued by the State
Board of Agriculture says t1at the average
yield of wheat per acre is high in some
counties, and for the State will exceed hf-
teen bushels per acre. or a total product,
allowing for reduced acreage. of 1000, 900
bushels 10 round numbers. The quality
IS unsurpassed by any wheat crop OF recent
years. Rye is also a superior crop in yield
and quality. Oats is generally in excess of
two or three preceding years, although not
a full crop. All late fail conditions have
been favorable for corn, and the promise
is good for a full crop of sound. well-ma
tured grain, late planted and drought in
