A LOOK AROUND.

DID you ever smoke q irst-class Mexican
cigar? They are rather rough in shape and
the tobacco looks like and has somewhat
the flavor OF fine Manila cheroots. They
are milder In taste than Havana cigars and
the smoke has q deliciously delicate fra
grance. Mexican tobacco of high grade.
like Mexican coffee. is but little known with
can coffee, grown on the upland plantations,
is entirely bought up by the wealthy ranch
owners at price about 81 q pound. OF
course, the average Mexican smokes ciga-
rettes of Cuban tobacco, but it is because the
output of cigars in his country is as yet not
large.
ADVERTISING space being no longer
available on Cholley's high standing collars,
it is suggested that there is considerable un-
used territory on the brim of his straw hat.
The Maryland railroad deal inquiry con-
tinues to furnish readable evidence, and the
question as to where the money all went
seems likely to be bracketed with the
name Of the man who assaulted William
Patterson.
1T would be interesting to have someone
tell us of Father Mollinger's early career in
Germany. There is q story ahoat that he
quarreled with the church authorities in
regard to his cures and finally left his native
land for that reason.
WHAT do the people-and particularly
the ladies-say when an open cable car
passes them without stopping because it is
belared? The motorman points over his
shoulder with this thumb and takes a fresh
grip and you can see the expectant passen-

to intense disgust while the lips move and,
words are half spoken which nobody hears.
What are those words?
THERE is growing impression that some
sort OF amicable understanding will be
reached by the iron masters and their en-
ployes. There is a better feeling on both
sides as result of the conferences and each
side has u clearer idea Of what the other
regards as particular grievances.
IF Baby Mckee and Ruth Cleveland are
to stump the States on behalf of their re-
spective families, the bachelors will not
know how to vote.
If you want to 20 home with some loose
quicksilver in your pocket, take q ther-
mometer and stand on the smithheld street
bridge about noon.
GRADUATION day stories are in order
these days. Some years ago at o well-known
college for both sexes the students produced
'The Return of Agamemnon." Clytemnes-
ira was a particularly impressive young
lady and made a decided impression in the
earlier passages. When the time arrived
for the prophecies to have a private talk
with Aggy she waved her hand to the at
tendant ladies, and in fine, deep contralto,
remarked: "Departr' The chorus did not
appear to care to leave the stage, and again
Clyty bade them depart, and turning her
back upon them, strobe toward her warrior
lord. Still the chorus remained tmmovable,
and with q scowl Clytemnestra, forgetting
her dignity, exclaimed snappishly: ''Say,
girls, do get q move on your

emotion in regard to politics about town.
There is not the usual interest on either side
of the political fence, but perhaps you can't
expect to find enthusiasm under q neglige
shirt.
II WAS married about two months ago."
q young lawyer to me yesterday,
"and when came home from my wedding
tour had a swarm Of life insurance agents
call on me and urge me to take out q policy
for my wife. I wondered how they all got
on to me at once, and asked one of them
about 1t. He said the agents watched the
and cut out the notices, and
then looked up the bridegroom as soon as he
came back from his wedding tour and while /
he felt like doing something fine for his |
bride. He told me that the amount of busI-
ness,acquired in this way amounted to very
ble"
PAUL HACKE, whose love for horses and
dogs has led him to become a breeder,
acquired taste for this pursuit very early.
When he was he had the best pigeons in the
town, when ho was he had gotten together
q collection of game fowls that were sold for
$3.50, when he was 16 he imported Holstein
bull and COW, and later he took to horses and
dogs with which he has been most sue.

A FRIEND of mine has made an interest
ing discovery. While in Paris some time
ago she persuaded her husband to buy a !
very prettily painted placque or oval of |
copper mounted in leather. Not long since |
it fell to the floor and piece of the painting |
Clipped off, and beneath it appeared q hint |
Of a much older painting, still in fairly good |
condition. OF course, she was wildly curious !!
and eager to complete her discovery, so she |
sent the plate to New York and had it |
cleaned of the new picture. It has come |
back-the old picture is fully revealed. 1t |
is apparently the work of an old master |
after he became blind. It is simply awful. |
The placque is ruined as placque, is no |
good as picture. and my friends discovery |
consists in finding new way to lose $780,
