Sale Of The Filthy Things.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Troy Times CLEANS from the annual report
some facts interesting to smokers regard

that are used in the manufacture OF cigar

the largest extent. Each manufacturer
may be said to create special drug habit
among those who smoke his brand, SO
that they are not satisfied with any other.

Havana cigarettes are wrapped is made to
look like tobacco by soaking it in . s0lu-
ton of tobacco stems.
Manufacturers of cigarettes claim to use
the very best quality of tobacco. 1t is i'm
possible that this shocld be true. because
they could not do it without losing money.
Nothing more than pair of scales is
needed to demonstrate the proposition. A
package of the best cigarettes. containing
twenty. weighs as much a. four moderate
sized cigars; that is. it includes as much
tobacco. But, as everybody knows. first
rate cigars cannot be purchased at cents
apiece.
The best Virginia tobacco costs nearly as
much as the imported Havana. Further
more, the processes employed in making
cigarettes are elaborate and the machinery
Is enormously expensive. So the ingcni-
Gus cigarette-maker buys cheap mate

And all the while in the rosy gloom
thrown upward by the footlights Vir-
ginia's face shone like a star. And all
the while the old passion grew with the
seconds, no longer single and pure, the
ideal love of mans youth, but reck-
less, dominant craving for her, the fruit
Of past experience and present despair.
He remembered nothing more until he
stood before her, their hands locked
Oh, that momentl r
He was dimly conscious Of strange
man with Virginia and of an introduc-
ton to him, but he seemed an intermin-
able distance away through madden
ing red blur. The crowd, the music,
too, had receded, and Yirginia's appraised
eyes, her warm, confding palm, were
the only realities.
What he said to her he never knew
something muttered, incoherent-words
seemed of such little value then beside
the longing to crush her to his sore heart
Then for moment he looked away,
his eyes drawn upward as by spell.
A cry wavered from his paling lips;
he reeled backward and flung her hand
from him. Above, among the sea Of
faces, was Felix Dawson's, the light
from his eyes shooting. through Toms
guilty heart like vein of electricity.
To his blinded, maddened senses the face
seemed distorted by terrible menace.
His doom was written there.
In a moment he was fleeing from. it,
pushing through the waiting crowds in
the aisles as a man breasts sea.

A Dentists Experience With Woman ant


A Dentists Experiences With Woman and
an Aching Tooth
The drummer had told commercial
story, and the dentist, who had been ex-
tracing much pleasure therefrom, fol-
lowed with professional yarn.
''At one time in my early practice In
a country town, he said. "there came
to me very nervous woman to have
tooth extracted She carried on SO that
could scarcely get her into the chair,
and as soon as put the forceps near her
mouth she screamed and bounced
around SO couldn't 90 anything with
her. After two~or three visits, each
worse than the other, suggested that
take her to the enearest large town, where
a dentist administered gas. Well, the
tooth hurt her so that at last she con-
sented, and took her there. about 25
miles by rail
81 went armed with q pair of forceps
as matter Of habit, and when we got
to the place and she saw the gas bag and
other appliances she had them again
worse than before, and haH to give ii
up and take her back home was thor
oughly provoked and felt like taking a.
club to her, but she had money and was
paying for her foolishness, so tried to
restrain my feelings. About 10 miles
out from town as the train was plugging
along about 90 miles an hour, and she
was holding her jaw and was holding
mine, in the seat beside her, we struck
broken rail, and the last thing knew
we were rolling down an embankment
and being piled up at the bottom in a very
promiscuous fashion don't know how
it came about, but l wasn't hurt much,
and when my senses were fully restored
| dragged my patient out through a
window and laid her on bank near by.
She was pretty badly bruised and had
been knocked senseless, and as was en-
deavoring TO restore her a brilliant
thought occurred to me. The next mo
ment had out my forceps. and the next
had out the eonfounded tooth. Two
hours later one of the physicians who
had been summoned had restored her to
consciousness, and as she opened her
eyes and saw me standing by her side
she clapped her hand to her jaw and ex-
claimed:
oh, doctor. knew it would be ter
rible, but / didn't think it would be SO
bad as that. However. though, it is out
at last
"Then she went to sleep, and it was
week before she knew the real facts in
the case"

Where Iron Is Sacred.


Among the Baralongs, a great African
people, iron is a sacred object. They are
expert workers in metal, which they still
smelt from its native ore by the most
primitive methods ever devised by anan.
This art was to them in former days
source Of wealth, influence and power
and the legend is that when people did
not know the value of the stones found
in their brooks "wise man" saw
vision. The spirit of his chief stood be-
side him and said, "Gather stones and
burn them to make spears" The sage
thought it was a dream. and that the
chief was hungry, SO he sacrificed an OK.
But the vision returned, and the chit
looked sorrowful. He stood long time.
and at last said:
"My son, why do you not obey your
father? Go to the river, gather stones
and make hot fire. After that you will
see iron with your eyes. I"
The sage was greatly frightened and
feared some calamity, but dared not re-
fuse. When he had made hot fire, iron
came out Of it, and then he knew the
chief had taken pity on his children. He
told his son the secret before he died,
buth he was a vain coxcomb, and wish
ing to show his own wisdom made iron
in the presence of strangers, and SO the
secret of the art was lost to his tribe,
but they have always continued to re-
gard iron as sacred above all other met
als.-Million.
