A Curious Anomaly

Do you know that there is more Camellia
flour sold in this market than any other
brand? And do you know, too, that it is the
highest priced flour. being several cents
higher per sack? You probably wonder why
shall-Kennedy Milling Co. are putting forth
all their efforts to make the best flour, not
the cheapest. That they are succeeding is
shown by the enormous consumption of
their f1ours, for the people are discovering
that the best is the cheapest, even if it does
cost Il few cents more. Try it and see if re-
suits do not warrant our assertion.

CLEVELAND GROWING STRONGER.
The South and Southwest Willing to Sup.

Inc Souih ana southwest Wiling to sup.
port Him for President.
Congressman Peele, of Arkansas, was a
passenger for Washington on the fast line
last evening. He said the feeling among the
Democrats in the West and Southwest was
rapidly growing in favor of Cleveland, and
that ever since his letter on the silver ques-
tion they were willing to be guided by his
views, although it was not so at first. He
thinks that Hill is not in it, but has hurt
himself materially by his junketing trip
through the South, and Cleveland had in
creased 100 per cent in the estimation of the
people by remaining quietly at home. He
also thinks that the Democratic ticket will
win this fall with Cleveland at the head, but
there should be Western man in second
place.

THEM DUDES Is QUEER
This Was the Opinion of an Irish
man on q Street Car.

This Was the Opinion of an Irish
man on a Street Car.
The following little incident occurred
on the front platform OF Il Madison ave-
nue. car one afternoon last week, says
the New York Herald.
A young gentleman boarded the con
veyance at Twenty-third street on his
way down town. He was mild-man-
nered, inoffensive young fellow, ana
was smoking a cigar. In his hand he
carried, unrolled, silk umbrella. 1t
had been raining earlier in the day, land,
though the article gaped open at the
top. it was thoroughly dried.
At Fourteenth street two individuals
Joined him on the platform. One was a
laborer with clay pipe between his
teeth, the other a butcher boy, carrying
basket. The latter drew forth
cigarette, and, turning to the Young
mau. requested light. The latter eyed
the boy, the cigarette held between the
greasy fingers, and then, fumbling III
his pocket, drew forth a match, the last
he had. The boy turned uD his nose at
this evidence of snobbishnesS, as he re-
garied it. He accepted the match. how
ever. struck il and lit his cigar. In the
meantime the Irish labOrer was watch
ing the proceedings narrowly. Ills pipe
had gone out. He made grab for the
match, but the boy at the same instant
tossed it aside. and he lost his oppor-
tuiiity.
Lets have the loan of your cigar,
young feller." he said to the victim,
who so regarded himself. Tor he was
standing between the two on the plat
Jorm.
The Young man WINGED. looked at his
half-smoked weed, hesitated, but finally
turned it over with an ill-concealed
look of disgust. Eventually it was re-
turned to him. He held it between his
fingers for a few moments, and then
tossed it away.
He was just turning to SEEK refuge
inside the car when the butcher boy
grabbed at his coat.
Its afire," he shouted.
The Irishman made a similar grab
and like remark, and the attention or
the driver of the car was attracted.
Il should think it was afire, remarked
the Dung man, briefly, as he flung from
INTO the street his umbrella. which was
blazing like a ilambeau. Pm glad you
spared my overcoat," he added. Its
going to be a cold winter, they say"
$50 Oh done it, did DIP" remarked the
Irishman, combatively.
"Yes, you done it, replied the other.
Il certainly didn't do it myself. Sparks
from that id ill-smeling pipe of yours
set the thing OH fire. You ought to be
contented with spelling mans cigar
without destroying his property"
With that be started to leave the car.
Before he was out of ear-shot. however.
he heard the Irishman remark in an az
grieved manner to the butchers boy
ibid yeZ ever see the lOikeS of that?
Them dudes is queer. Shure, twas
only an accident, and no design Oi had
to destroy"
The rest of the sentence was lost to
the victim of the American custom OF
interchanging cigar lights with stran-
gers on demand.
