For the past four or five years the famous
Sleeper's Eye Cigars have been kept before
the public, and their superior merit has
won for them a sale unprecedented.
In this state the demand for this famous
brand is now larger than ever. and as the
quality of the goods is never allowed to de-
preclate this pleasing state Of affairs is not
surprising. The wholesale trade in these
goods is not confined to any particular
house. and all the leading firms, including

MO ENGAGEMENT RING.
And a Very Good Reason why the Young
woman Could Not Afford 1t.

And a Very Good Reason why the Young
woman Could Not AFFORD 1t.
Let me tell you why one bride wears
mo ring. A fellow had been engaged
to her about two weeks, and at last,
she had consented to let him put an en-
gagement ring on her independent lit
lie finger. She would allow him to pay
one hundred dollars, and it was to be an
emerald set with small pearls, because
an emerald was her stone, and she
loved pearls. Then they had quarrel,
and he went off on quite thorough
spree. At the end of it he felt that he
had better give the dearest girl in the
world a chance to throw him over, as
he deserved. He went to the house.
She kept him waiting half a minute,
and then ran in. She look particularly
sweet, of course.
ssYou may only kiss my hand" she
said. saucily, because you have been
away so long"
..I am not fit to kiss even your hand. !"
He felt that he was getting at his sub
ject very we'll
"What have you been doing?"
'sI've kept drunk a week"
.Um-1' She was very serious now.
She drew her skirts back a little and
sat down. AS he moved toward chair
she said: "No, you can stand up.
What did you do it for?"
because I was fool"
''Yes, know that much; but what

he started to take her in his arms, but
she lifted her eyebrows and brushed

John Pombriant of Biddeford Was Here

John Pombriant of Biddeford Was Hero
There is a young lady i'll Portland.-or
perhaps now in some other place,-who is
deeply indebted to John Pombriant of Bid
deford, although she may not know it,
John Pombriant was leaving the Union
Station last Tuesday night on the train,
when, as the train had attained quite a
speed, young lady on the sane Car dis
covered that she was on the wrong train.
and started for the platform with the evil
dent intention of jumping off. Coming
toward them upon the double track was
another train which she did not see, nor
did she heed POmbriant's advice not to
jump off. She jumped, and as she struck
the ground she was thrown across the
track upon which the other train was ap-
preaching. Pombriant, seeing the danger,
jumped after her, kept his feet, and seizing
hold of her clothing pulled her off the
track just as the train passed over the
place where she had been lying. The two
had jumped from one of the forward cars.
and the incident occupied so little time
that Pombriant was able to catch the rear
car of his own train before the lady he had
rescued had time to thank him.
