avowed object is, by taxation, to
lessen the use of cigarettes This is
paternallsm, in one view of the case.
But for one hundred and fifty years
the Government has maintained the
right to prohib by taxation or to
restrain by exacting revenues, IN
many directions. A loLg line of de-

the policy.

to seouestrate all whom they find

previous introductions of the disease

of the "6lth diseases" as modern

germs which probably cause it have
failed to find fit soil to propagate.

II is an interesting fact that President
Van Buren was the only President prev
ious to Lincolnwho wore hair on his face,
and Andrew johnson was the only Presi-
dent after Lincoln who wore a smooth
face. Since the war boards have pre-
dominated. They adorned the faces Of
Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar
field and Harrison. The element of
whiskers, pure and simple was repre-
sented by President Arthur, while
Grover Cleveland enjoys the distinction
of being the only President who wore
mustache without beard or whiskers.
Upon taking summary the following
ratio appears: Fifteen Presidents wore
smooth faces, four wore beard and mus
tache, two wore side whiskers, one wore
beard and side growth and one wore mus.
tache alone. Aside from the appearance
of their faces, with or without a growth
of hair, the true embodiment of each
nature can readily be read from their

The PriYate and the Renr

Private Mcnamara, of the Fourth
Cavalry, stationed in the Yosemit,
National Park, got leave to go hunting
and went over to Devils Gulch, tn,
roughest canon in the country and the
best hiding place for big game. Nc.
Namara had good luck, and killed about
dozen gray squirrels, which he slung
to his belt. He had turned homeward,
and was picking his way through fallen
timber, when grizzly arose from behind
a log about fifty yards away. Mcnamara
raised his carbine and fired. The bear
howled and started for him, and Nc.
Namara feit in his belt for another cart
ridge, but none was there. He had fired
his last shot.
Mcnamara realized that he had to
trust to his legs to get him out of that
scrape, and he turned and ran faster than
he ever sprinted in his life. But the
bear was the better runner, and gained
rapidly. The dangling squirrels i'm
peded McNamara's action, and as he ran
he tried to get rid of them. He pulled
two loose and dropped them, and the
grizzly stopped to investigate. Bruin
found them good, and he ate them in
two gulps and resumed the chase.
McNamara dropped some mole squir.
rels and gained several yards. He re.
peated the trick until he had a good
lead, and then he unlocked his belt and
dropped all that were left. and when the
grizzly finished the lot Mcnamara was
out of sight across the river and getting
his second wind for long run home

am quite sure the dark was uuan-

standing leaning against tho banister
when he said:
"My heart is breakingl"
Suddenly there was little soft rustic
above HIM; then he felt two arms steal

George, that | proposed to you, though
it is leap year,"
"Neverl" was the emphatic reply.
Madame Hillien cried and laughed and
was none too well pleased; but, after all,
she loved Nanette, and so she gave
George her hand at last, and motherly
greeting.
But the strangest part of all was yet to
come for the captain made Nanette a
wedding present of all the fnery he had

offered his hand and heart to Madame

THE CHICKADEE,

Care keeps its bold with constant clasp,
Whatever may betide us
Grief waits the shrinking heart to grasp
Pacing, half veiled, beside us.
But oh, the sky is blue,
And oh, the sun is bright
And the chickadee in the dark pine tree
Carols his meek delight.
The earth in silent SHOWS is bound,
Want grinds and pain oppresses;
Life's awful problems who shall! sound2
Its riddles sad who guesses?
But oh, the sky is blue,
And oh, the sun is bright
And the chickadee in the tall pite tree
Sings in the colds despite.
Give me of thy wise hope, dear bird,
Who brav'st the bitter weather.
Share the glad message thou hast hear
And let us sing together
Tho winter winds blow wild,
No storm can thee alright.
Thy trust teach me, oh chickadee,
Sweet chanting from thy hight.

The insurance men of Chicago have re-
solved to insist that no more buildings
shall be erected with height greater
than one and half times the width of
the street, and that insurance rates on
higher buildings hereafter erected be so
great as to be practically prohibitive.
For office buildingsan exception will be
made and height of 12O feet allowed,
which will give room for eight or nine
stories. Whether the insurance men will
succeed remains TO be seen, but they have
