British Tobacco Crisis.

LONDON, April l2.-The conviction that
the government intends to increase the
import duty on cigars to IS. pound
has created a panic among the wholesale
cigar-dealers, who see in the enforcement
of such a tax the revolutionizing OF the
entire tobacco trade OF Great Britain.
Havana cigars will become very much
dearer, and Mexican and Manila cigars
will be forced out OF the market alto
gether. as they will not be able to COM
pete with ,ie homemade product under
an increased duty. In view of the re-
ported rise in the duty, immense clear
ances have been made from the bonded
warehouses, hundreds of cases OF tobacco,
cigars, and cigarettes being delivered

 '.I see petroleum has been discov- cred up in Martin county and com pany is buying up all the land in the neighborhood," remarked a rancher at a downtown hotel the other evening, and it was noticed that there was a tinge of incredulity in his tone.

were beyond all mortal agony. She said: Good night" and drove in frowsy four-wheeler to her shabby lodgings
 Still silent. still enduring. she went upstairs to her little sitting-room; but face marked by the anguish of life time.
 She stood by the table, her hands hanging at her sides, her eyes, which could not weep, staring before her.
 Married! rich! happy! While I, who have hoped and longed and loved. am"
 She flung her white arms above her head, and a great cry rent her throat cry of all woman's pent-up passion, of all hearts bitter disappointment
 Ut is too much," she cried aloud to the shabby walls and cheap furniture; "I cannot bear it. Tonight l have dreamed of other things. cannot go back to the old ways. My heart is dead within mc-dead.
 She paused; gray shadow stole over her drawn face, somber fire burned in her eyes. For a moment she disap- peared in to her bedroom, then returned to where the gas flered. She looked about her and. with the careful method of a poor woman, picked up her cloak from the floor and folded it away on a chair. Then she lowered the gas to the blue and flung open the window.
 II want my soul to be free to go to him if it can she murmured, leaning out over the street. This will un- loose my bonds-and bring me peace and rest. and, perhaps, 8 little sigh o4 regret from him."
 With cold white fingers, that yet did not tremble at their task, she drew the stopper from tiny phial she held in her hand. A thick, sweet odor as of almond flowers floated through the room. It dominated the faint per fume that breathedfrom Olivia's gown and fair hair. and even tainted with it's insidious savor the outer air. With dilated nostrils she caught the subtle scent and smiled little. .'Peace-and regret-and remembrance. she sighed, then raising her hand to her lips, with one movement of her slender throat she swallowed the few drops of liquid contained In tho small blue bottle. Her hand dropped heavily on the win dowsill and her fingers relaxed. The tinlsle of fallen glass rose from the pavement below.
 She fell upon her knees before the open window and raised her ashen face to the star-lit heavens.
 Her fingers twitched in agony above her bursting heart; her pale lips strug- gled to cry but once to the man who, for the second time, had plunged her into the darkness of despair.
 But only whisper came from her burning throat and poor. twisted mouth.

How a Millionaire Enjoyed Doughnuts and
 Cheese and Apple Pie.
 If boys knew how much the circum- stances and almost the privations of their lot are envied by prosperous el- derly men, they would perhaps be more easily reconciled to some of the hard ships that they meet An exchange relates curious story which illus trates the envy which even rich men may have for some simple things which poor boys enjoy.
 The wealthy head of great corpo- ration, which employs many people, was one day wandering about the premises of the concern. 1t was near midday He happened to come upon a dinner-pail, standing in . cool corner. He surmised that it might belong tc the office-boy; and so it did.
 The dinner-pail somehow exercised fascination over the man. He could lid Within he saw slice of home made bread, wei buttered; two dough- nuts, brown and fresh; slice of new cheese and a piece of apple pie.
 The millionaire at once felt very hungry-hungrier than he had been for many a day. The dinner-pail carried him back to a time, sixty years ago, when he had carried just such pail, when he had had in it bread and but. CT and dougbnuts and apple pie, and when these things had tasted very good to him.
 He became a boy again, and he could not resist the temptation to eat out of this pail. Squatting on tine floor. he fell on to the bread and butter and then on the doughnuts and cheese, and was just eating the apple pie when the office-boy came running up.
 Look herc," the boy cried out. That's my dinner you're eating there"
 'Yes. suppose it is," said the mil liopaire But it's a trst-rate dinner for all that. haven't eaten so good one for fifty years"
 He finished the pie and then, rising, took ont his pocketbook and from it handed the office-boy a tive-dollar bill.
 ..rhere," said he, ''go out and buy your dinner. l couldn't have got for five dollars a dinner that should have enjoyed so much. What I've eaten is well worth it."
 Then he bade the wondering boy good-by and went to his office. .-Chica- go News.
