some time. The steersge OF the Mort
German Lloyd ships h Is been crowded to
its full capacity on the outward trip all

Genoa Saturday had to refuse more than
1000 applications for passage simply for

One young man in this city has sud-

into the drug store and
told the clerk that the young man was
under six cen years OF age and that IL he

of the pharmacy he asked his young
friend for cigarette. but they were all
gone and the young man insisted on buy
ing some more. While he was in the
drug store arguing with the clerk his
smooth-tongned friend made confidant

An Est Providence car conductor is
paving up in cigars now. His ear was
waiting turnout the other day when
tn conductor espied grape vine in a
neighboring field and FASTENED to EN-
brace the opportunity to regale himself
on the lu.cious fruit, which was about

gan to eat grapes again until the mex
car should come along. However he let

return trip. hose who know about the
incident. have smoked several ten cent
cigars at lis expense, ana 1t seems that
he can not pay them too much courteous
attention.
