Mild and Strong Ciears

1T is amusing" said veteran cigar
dealer, ''how few men there are who
know a good from a bad or a mild
from strong cigar AS a matter of
course, the quality Of a cigar depends
altogether on the kind of tobacco used
IN its manufacture; that is to say. the
dller, and very little on the wrapper.
which forms about one-twentieth part
'f the whole; yet 80 out of every 100
men, when they enter a cigar store and
,all for mild cigar, will pick out one
with light wrapper.
1--WE cigar men have learned from ex-
perience that there are three things
upon which every man prides himself
namely: his ability to captivate women,
:un the government, and judge a good
from a bad cigar, and, consequently.
we never attempt to wound human
vanity or make lasting enemies by
showing them their error. For years I
have sold very strong cigars to men
who picked them out and smoked them
with great gusto, thoroughly convinced
that they were mild cigars, simply be-
cause they were put up in light wrap
pers. In short, have come to the con-
clusion that there are few things on this
earth so completely governed and con.
trolled by Imagination as cigar-smok-
ing"

ODD STORY OF AN OLD DESK.
Fine Antique Made by Adam Bros, for
Which $500 Has Been Refused.

Fine Antique Made by Adam Bros, for
Which $500 Has Been Refused.
An old Adam desk, the property Of q
well-known New York woman, has a
history Of it's own worth telling.
For those not versed in old English
furniture let it be said that the Adam
brothers-James and Robert-came be-
tween Sheraton and Chippendale. Their
work, done in satinwood, was distin-
guished by its use of fine painting and
inlaying. This particular desk was
first seen by it's present owner a score
of years ago from the window of a
train moving slowly into Hull. The
woman had passion for old furnI-
ture. A shop sign caught her eye, and
then the desk. She was on her way
to catch steamer, but the temptation
was too strong and she left her train.
The desk she found too high in price,
and after examining it with great care
and cOvetous eyes she proceeded on
her way.
Five years later she was travelling in
Italy. While in Rome, engaged in her
fayorite fad of doing old furniture
shops, she saw familiar piece-no
other was it than the desk she had
seen five years before in England. The
marks were intact, there could be no
error. How it got there she was un-
able to discover, but the price being
still too high she was obliged to leave
it.
Another five years passed and the
woman was once more on a train run
ming into Hull, again bound for an out
going ocean steamer. AS before, she
was gazing out of the window looking
for the little shop of antiques. Her
eyes almost left her head in astonish-
ment. The same Adam desk stood in
the place it had occupied when first it
charmed her eyes. Missing her steamer
was of no consequence the mystery
must be solved and the desk secured,
for it was simply defying fate not to
snatch the precious piece
The second time she left her train
and fastened to make inquiries and to
learn whether she was dreaming or
losing her mind. The explanation was
simple after all. says the New York
Times. The desk had with other furni-
ture been placed in the shop by an old
English family for sale. Several years
later the family went to Italy in search
of health for one of its members, and
all the heirloom furniture unsold was
taken with them. Finding the Roman
climate of no benefit to the invalid,
they placed the pieces of furniture in
shop for sale and went ON. Later the

"Faithful" Service Rewarded.

The late Judge Smyth, SO much bet
ter known as 1.-The Recorder" used to
have "Reminiscences of another lawyer
who now enjoys much distinction at
the bar and for a time rejoiced in jul
dicial honors, but who was at the time
managing clerk of law office on the
same corridor with that of the future
recorder.
Il met him In the hall one day."
said the old judge, land he was evil
IDENTIFY very much agitated. l inquired
the nature of his trouble. Almost
weeping, he answered: 4 have been
discharged, discharged without a word
of explanation, after five years of
faithful service. 1t is very hard And
then he quite gave way, and added, in
tears: And you know, Mr.. Smyth, you

Weight of Waves.

Vaughan Cornish, in paper before
the British Association. corrects the
popular impression as to waves ..moun-
tains high" He quotes the following
mean from Independent sources, of the
measured height of waves in deep wat
err, far from land in different kinds
of weather: Hurricane, 27.32 feet;
strong gale, 2o.07 feet; gale, 14.71 feet;
strong breeze, 9.42 feet. Records of
waves on the North Atlantic are in ex-
istence showing them to have reached
a height of from forty to fifty feet.
These. however, are exceptional and
infrequent.t

DOG BEATS TRAIN.
Remarkable Canine Performance on
Great Northern.

Remarkable Canine Performance ON
Great Northern.
Passengers on yesterdays Great
Northern train from Helena witnessed
novel sight after Basin had been
passed, says the Anaconda Standard.
A passenger boarded the train at that
camp and his dog seemed to be much
concerned about his masters depart
ure. After the train pulled out Of the
station the dog took up the scent, put
his ears back, let the muscles Of his
legs out full length. and after the cars
he went. He rounded curves with the
rapidity of roulette ball, and when he
struck straight stretch of roadway
he heightened his strides and poked
his nose into the wind and fairly
whizzed, keeping about Is or 100 yards
behind the cars.
The train moved up the heavy grade
at slower rate of speed, so that there
was not very much for the dog to do
but get down and hustle. But after
Bernice had been passed the engineer
pulled the throttle open and the train
bowled along across Elk Park at a pref.
ty lively clip. Then doggie was lost
sight Of for awhile At Woodville a
short stop was made and before the
train pulled out the dog was there,
painting, but comparatively fresh, con-
sidering his long run. No more was
| seen of the dog until the train pulled
into the depot at Butte
There the dog lay upon the platform
waiting for the train and his master,
who was passenger. He had been
resting there for five minutes. Instead
of following the train on it's long, cir
cuitous route from Woodville to Butte,
fourteen miles, he took the old stage
road and made the run of four miles In

''That you will all give me your pho

With this parting shot he lodged out

Beet Sugar Production.

According to recent consular re-.
port from Madgeburg. Germany, the
production of beet sugar in the world
is now twice as great as that of cane
sugar. This victory of the beet over
the cane is ascribed to the influence of
the science Of chemistry in developing
the industry of beet sugar making.
This influence is especially exerted N
Germany, where more than a thousand
chemists are exclusively employed In
the sugar factories. The manufacture
of beet sugar has taken a sudden start
in Spain since she lost her colonies in
the war with the United States,

A SURPRISED AMERICAN.
His Talk in 1890 with a Young Ger.

His Talk in 1890 with a Young Ger.
man Whom He Did Not Know.
One summer day in 1890 New York
er visiting Berlin strolled to the Lust
garten, and, sitting on one Of the bench
es. contemplated the various fine build
ings around him. He did not know HE
bearings very well, and, in hating Ger.
man. asked some questions of young
man who had sat down beside him.
This young man was Enthusiastically a
German, but he replied in perfect En-
glish, remarking that he presumed his
interlocutor was either an Englishman
or an American. The couple chatted
for half an hour and the American be-
came more and more astonished at the
minuteness of the others knowledge Of
the archaeology Of Berlin. He knew
the history of every building in sight,
told the American just those things
that the guidebook do not tell, and,
wtthal, was SO courteous and unaffect-
eddy cordial that the heart of the tour
list warmed to his unknown guide.
At length the conversation drifted
from the past to the present, and the
New Yorker made remark about the
opinion held in America Of the Kaiser.
In those days the young "War Lord
was regarded as dangerous firebrand
-as an irresponsible monarch who
might any day plunge Europe into con-
f1ict. 1t was even said that he had
shown evidence Of insanity.
When this subject arose the young
German suddenly changed from a giver
of information to a seeker of it, asking
eagerly for details of the reports about
the Kaiser current in America. These
the New Yorker furnished to the best
Of his ability, and ended by asking:
What do you personally think of
him?"
Il am afraid" replied the young man
"that my opinion on that subject Is moi
Of much value. l am the Kaiser my
SELF"
The American sprang to his feet with
amazement. The Emperor cut his apol
ogies short.
My FRIEND" he said, you have done
me service. 1t Is hard for me to learr
the truth about what is said Of me-
just as hard as it is for people fal
away to learn the truth about me. But
with Gods help, will show that wha,
Is said about me is wrong"

MADE ICE IN AUGUST.
Tricks by Which Jack Wilson Beca me
the Piute Prophet.

INC AutC AIOpucts
"Jack Wilson, the famous Piute In
dian who started the ghost dance craze
among the Indians all over the United
States a few years ago, lives in Mason
Valley, Nevada" said an official of the
Indian Bureau the other day. He does
not have the influence among the In
dams now that he had ten years ago,
although he is more than the ordinary
Indian intellectually. His success as
an apostle was due to his superior in
telligence, combined with low cunning
and an utter lack of conscience To
secure the power and influence he
welded over his followers in the early
days Of his notoriety, he resorted to
numerous tricks and receptions.
ION one occasion when he had been
lecturing on the new religion he told
his audience that on the next day he
would make ice from the river and in
vited all to see him perform a miracle.
1t being August, he knew that to make
them believe he had made Ice would
give him greater prestige. He selected
a point below bend in the river, and
after securing trusty accomplish, who
took from neighboring ice house a
generous lump and deposited it in the
current above the bend, Wilson, with
wild gestures and weird lamentations,
placed himself at a convenient point
where he lifted the floating ice from
the water when 1t reached him from
above, and thus made the Piutes be-
lieve he had supernatural power. By
such trickery he made his associates
believe that the ghost dance would
drive the white man away from this
country and bring back the buffalo"
