EVIL Elects of Tobacco.

Chauncey NJ. Depew was once a
slave to the use Of tobacco, a habit
learned in college, where many bad
as well as good habits have been ac-
quired. He wanted the strongest
cigars, and a good many Of them. 1t
was twenty years before he would &C
knowledge the injury he was infict-
ing upon himself. One day, taking
cigar from his pocket with the view
Of lighting it, it suddenly occurred to
him with great force that he was
slave of a very bad habit. He then
recognized, as never before, that he
was getting heavy-minded and dull
Intellectually, and that he coveted
the effects of the nicotine more than
he ever coveted political or pro-
fessional hOnors. With these thoughts
before him he said to himself, 'This
has gone far enough" at the same
time throwing the cigar into the
street, and from that day to this he
has not smoked. Mr.. Depew thinks
if he had not stopped at the time he
did the habit would have absolutely
mastered him. To this may be added
that there are more young men in
college now who let, tobacco alone
than there were when Mr.. Depew was

Origin OF the Postage stamp.

The postage stamp is so generally
in use that it is difficult to realize that
it is but half century old, though
as a matter Of fact it is barely so years
since this convenient article was In
trOduced into the United States.
The stamp is little older in Eng
land, where, when first introduced,
it was sold in sheets, with no per-
fOratiOn holes to assist in tearing of
straight. The loss and Inconvenience
which resulted from efforts to tear off
stamps in hurry led to the Cover
ment offering a liberal price for a
patent whereby the difficulty could be
offset. The first man to come near
winning the prize was an aged
sailor, who perfected stamping ma
chine which cut the stamps nearly
apart, only leaving small piece Of
margin at each corner. While the
POstOfflce Department was consider
ing whether or not to adopt this. the
idea of perfOrating the sheets i'm rows
each way was submitted and accepted.
When better quality of paper and
was used than now, this
plan answered admirably, and it has
been found so generally satisfactory
that no improvement has been at
tempted upon it.-Albany Express.

millionaire Thief.

Not half century ago a wealthy
New Yorker, who died recently.
missed from his picture gallery two
small but very valuable canvases. He
suspected everybody in the house. 1t
was said at the time that he accused
one of his sons, who was little wild,
of having stolen the pictures in order
to raise on them money which his
father had refused him for his extrav-
agances. However, the facts re-
manned a mystery for some years.
Then an expressman delivered a pack
age at the bankers door. In it were
the missing pictures, intact, as they
had been taken from their frames.
There was no mark or sign upon
them OF the package to denote the
source from which their restoration
proceeded. The owner was as curl
Gus now as he had been furious be-
FORE He set detective on the mat
ter. The pictures were traced back
ward, through the express Office, to
the widow Of one Of the owners most
intimate and trusted friends. This
man, himself a millionaire, craZed by
cupidity. for he was a collector Of pic
lures himself, had stolen them one
night after he had dined with their

Athle tic Maidens.

many years ago was considered very

The request was complied with, and

A Porst atent Ghost.

Huntington, Long Island, IS in
ferment over the appearance Of a
ghost. Mrs Truman Brown died
some months ago from a cancer, and
during the past few weeks she has
been haunting her husband. She
comes in the night and wakes him
and gazes at him reproachfully, but
will say nothing to him. He tried to
talk to her; then he tried to catch
her; then he drew q revolver and shot
her. but all to no purpose. She still
comes to visit him and has taken to
bringing another ghost along with
her. He shot them both. but they
stood their ground until he tried to
lay hands on them, when they van
ished, only to return the next night.
He IS in despair and his neighbOrs are
intensely excited.

The detective made the small pur-
chase which was the reason for his call,
an in payment for the same he was
obliged to tenoer a twenty-dollar note.
In change, besides some smaller ones,
he received ten-dollar greenback.
Paxton was folding the bank note to
place it in his pocket-book, when he
made discovery that was a complete
surprise. He saw the bill was marked
precisely like the money which had dis

night Of the murder.
Paxton concealed the excitement this
discovery naturally Occasioned him,
and. by dint of skillful inquiries, he
succeeded in eliciting the information
that the marked bank note had been re-
ceived from Marion Oakburn, who fire.
quently made purchases at the little
shop.
How is it that you are able to say
positively from whom you received this
particular note?" asked the detective,
when the little old shop-kceper had told
him he had it from Marion.
Because when l received it gave it
to my wife, and this morning 1 bor-
rowed it back from her. She will tell
you the same. Is it not so, SARAH" an
swered the little old man.
Thus appealed to the aged shopkeep-
er's wife at once confirmed her husband.
Paxton left the shop with his mind
burdened with this new source of per-
plexity.
The case grows stronger and stronger
against Marion. When shall l get at
the real truth of the affair-when shall
know who murdered the old CASHIER"
he said in monOlogue.
Paxton was seated in his office that
same night when messenger boy called
and delivered q note, which the detect
i've hastily read and as he perused it he
seemed to be somewhat excited.
This matter must be looked to at
once!" he exclaimed, and he hurriedly
left the office.
Paxton went directly to Judith Kredge,
whom he found at the apartments lately
tenanted by John Oakburn and his
daughter.
He had received a surprising COM
munication from the woman, but he sus-
pected plot, and he was on his guard.
The detective was about to hear q
disclosure which he most desired, and
Judith Kredge had resolved upon bold
move. A crisis was impending.

grown in the Willamette Valley are
superior to those grown in Italy.
The climate, he says, is like the great

Mr.. Stanmore, you forget yourself. :"
Go on, give US the proof Of this in
credible accusation of yours.
Il will tell you all, replied the wom-
an. On the night Of the murder was
i'll. and left my room at about o'clock
and went to Marion's room to procure
some medicine. To my surprise Marion
was not in her room. l heard q sound
below, and looking over the rail at the
head Of the stairs saw Marion come
out of the Office with pistol In one
hand and sheet Of paper covered with
writing in the other. Watched her and
saw her steal up the stairs and enter her
room where she concealed the pistol in
the bottom of her trunk, and it Is there
now.
After that she came to my room, and
with pretended anxiety about her father
induced me to 60 down to the Office,
where we found the old man dead. Now
you know why think Marion Oakburn
is guilty"
Thus concluded Judith Kredge.
1T Is all q clever invention, no doubt,
and II there is pistol in Marion Oak
burns trunk I suspect you put it there,
said Paxton.
This is no more than I might have
anticipated" answered Judith, with an
injured air.
While she was making her revela-
ton, Stuart Harland was intensely agi-
tated.
Thus far he had kept the secret that
he had seen Marion leave the ONCE OF
the night Of the murder, but now since the
truth was revealed by the janitoe's Sis
ter he felt that It was his duty to relate
what he knew.
