An UnuaIly Strong Pinch of Snuff
Made the Corpse Snecze on the

When Macready was a young man
classical drama in blank verse held
the stage, says London Figaro. One
Of these was "Aemilius; or. the Fall of
Rome" Aemilius was played by an
actor named Pope and the eXigencies
of the play required him to be brought
on the stage on a bier, supposedly
dead, and Flavlus, acted by Macready,
spoke an Grafton over the body. Pope
was an inveterate snuff-taker, and
Just before going on one night be bor-
rowed a pinch from one of the stage
attendants. He was accustomed to
only a mild invigorant, but the bor-
rowed tobacco was the fiery Welsh
stuff. Pope was duly brought on the
stage by the usual army of "supers,"
and Macready began:
Thou last of the Romans, thy bleed

Here, to Macready's establishment,
Pope's face began to work, and then
came a sneeze from the dead Roman
that shook the flies. Macready start

to litter, but he went on:

In a voice heard all oyer the house,
Macready muttered:
"Drat your blood, sir, why don't you

The audience shouted end the scene
ended by the corpse stalking off to
find and kill the man who gave him
the snuff.

OLD CLOTHES MEN
What IL Done With the Garments

What IL Done With the Garments
After the Trade Is Ma lie.
The men before starting out OF their
purchasing tours provide themselves
with an assortment of knick-knacks
such as will appeal to a -woman's eye.
These, in the prelance of the trade, are
known as fishes" and the men are
known as "fishers," because with this
bait they catch the clothing they want.
Whenever they find a stock Of old
clothing of which the owner is desir-
Gus of %disposing they make the closest
bargain they can-and orly one who
has come into contact with them
knows how near" they are--and then
do their utmost to give in payment
soIne of their chinaware, towels or
whatever they may have picked out as
the best to serve their purpose. They
want to avoid paying ut money, pos
sibly because they IA purchase their
fishes at a price SO low as to aston
ish one.
Each has a separate route, which is
sacred to himself, and with their
knowledge of charaSer they soon
know what is most likely to appeal
to the woman in the bailiwicks. So
up and down they stroll, getting rid
of their fishes" for garments of "
cry description, which they sling into
their big bags.
The men on whose trade these ped
dlers depend, in the main, are whole
sale dealers of the lower class. These
e have large tailoring shops, and
buying these goods at ridiculously low
rate, they put them at once into the
hands of their tailor. A coat is relin-
ed, new binding is put OH it, any rents
are artistically sewed, the frayed bot
toms of trousers are cut off and sewed
anew and fresh buttons are fastened
on; overcoatS are steamed and treated
to a general renovation, and marvel
GUS. indeed, is the transformation in
the garments.
They are then shipped to retailers in
the South and West, and it is no re-
Election on a mans intelligence that
he should purchase them and wear
them, believing they have never cloth
ed any one previously.-New York

grief it engenders, and that now his
friends fate and his own treachery
We're ever before him in all the hor-

On the evening before his departure,
however, he summoned courage enough

but tone and manner made him feel

She had promised to write to him,

assured his position, and possibly lie

two cold bosoms: his own and the
glaciers.
Twice he had long letters from Miss
-Morland, one from Chur, on their jour

arrival at San Reno, and then they
suddenly ceased; nor to his repeated
inquiries was any answer vouchsafed.

hand he used to know well. Wrapped
in a sheet Of a Florence newspaper

TURPENTINE OPERATIONS.
Great Activity i'm the Industry in
south Georgia.

Waycross Ga, Dec. 15.-The turpen-
tine operators Of South Georgia began
cutting boxes about three weeks ago,
and will finish next March. The number
of boxes this season will exceed by a
considerable majority the number of any
previous year since 1891, say the tufpen-
tine men, who have been questioned by
the correspondent of the Morning News.
This is the result OF the contract between
the owners of land and the operators
who have leased the timber. The lease
contract requires the operator TO cut a
certain number OF boxes during the
term of the lease, the number for each
to be left to the judgment of the opera
boxes in the required limit, or else lose
the use of the trees at the expiration
of the contract. The contracts usually
range from four to six years. and tur-
pentine men, who lease timber rather
than buy land, find it to their interest
to box the trees as early as possible
during the life of the contract, so as to
obtain the best and fullest results from
the use of the trees.
After the lease expires, in many in
stances, the timber is sold in bulk to ium-
Der men. The trees are felled and Ii
vided up into logs or saw stocks" They
are quickly hauled to the lumber mills
and manufactured into lumber. AS the
trees are supposed TO be abandoned for
turpentine uses at the expiration of the
operators lease, the owners Of the timber
are generally anxious to turn the trees
into money
Timber that is considered good for tur-
pentine purposes, always has a ready
market in lumber circles. The timber is
cheaper to the lumber men after 1t has
been abandoned by the turpentine men
and can be bought more readily and at a
better advantage than round timber.
The supply of turpentne products prom
ises to be unusually large mex
year, judging from. the extraordina,
ry preparations that are being
made in the locating of new firms and the
cutting of an unusually large number Of
boxes. This, in view OF the fact that the
price of naval stores is low, Is interesting
to the people of South Georgia, and is
not easily understood at first sight The
question naturally arises: rs turpentint
The operators who have discussed this
matter with the Morning News CORES
pondent say that the matter of better oil
lower prices does not effect the turpentinC
mems operations at all this season. 1--WE
have got to cut those boxes this season
or lose the use Of the trees as the con
tracts are about to expire" said one Of
the operators. THE price of turpentine,
he continued, "can hardly go any lower
than it is now"
Some Of the turpentine men who owr
their own timber appear to view will
alarm the prospect of an over-productio
OF naval stores next year. One Of then
said that he was cutting more boxes thar
usual, because hts contemporaries Were
cutting a large number of boxes
The turpentine men have practiced ex.
t1aordinary economy this year, and this
most of them have cleared money Those
who were successful this year are in gooC
heart and do not fear for the future.

WHY WOMEN WEEP.
1T Is TOO BAD THERE Is so MUCH
SUFFERING WHEN THERE NEED
NOT RE-

Woman's troubles probably cause more
misery in this world than all other misfor-
tunes put together. Most women overtaX
their strength, most of them suffer from
the strains Of household and other cares
ana II IS no wonder that so many Of them
break down under the facilitating effects
of high pressure living.
To every woman who values health and
strength, the experience of one who has
passed through a time of suffering and
discovered the way to recovery cannot fail
to prove of the highest interest The
story Is briefly told in the words of Mrs
l.. c. Miller. OF 524 y. 23d street, Philadel-
phias who recently said For many
months i was a continual sufferer and
tunately decided to try Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, which had been recommended
to me. Since then I have improved won
derfuHy, and feel decidedly better, sleep
well, and at the same time / am free to
acknowledge i do not experience that
tired, weary languid feeling-in fact, no
one thing appears to be a burden 10 me
now. Many of my friends are well pleased
and fully convinced that there is no other
Whiskey. My prayer and wish is that it
may reach the home of the afflicted every
where"
These words are convincing, because
they are the result of experience. They
prove beyond a doubt that what every
woman needs is a pure, healthful stimu-
liant. Something is required TO impart
neWed vigor. In such cases Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey has always worked Won
ders. BY means of its strengthening
powers, many pale, thin, weary woman
has become a living picture OF robust
health.

decidedly tame affair. Under the new
Florida election law, which is fashioned
after the Australian law, the ticket must
be made up and officially adopted by the
county commissioners twenty days prior
tunity to spring dark horse on the eve
of an election. The nominations were
made at a primary held nearly 30 days
ago. The result of this primary was GER
titled to the county commissioners at the
time and was adopted by that body. Party
lines were done away with at the primary
and the candidates who received the high
est number of votes there were declared
the nominees. For this reason there were
no extra names on the official ballot at
yesterdays election. The contest for mu-
nicipal offices was settled by the primary
On account of these conditions there was

A shower of Cats.

People exhibit their likes and fancies
in varied and curious ways, but the
most remarkable tributes recently paid
to success are those that have poured
in upon Boston's new scent story mag
azine, The Black Cat" whose fascina-
quarter of million copies in a few
weeks.
These tributes are nothing more or
less than pet office cats of all sorts and
sizes, but always black as crows. Among
these somber felineS, which come from
all parts Of the country Is one which
sends all the way from Americas, Ca,
with the following appreciative mess
age;
cat from way down in Dixie will be as
welcome to your office as The Black
Cat of Boston is in my home"
Another halls from Missoula Mon
tana, and still another was born and
bred in Bolton, Mass. In paying tribute
to The Black Cat" the would-be do
course, the publishers will need a pet
Office cat, and equally of course that
cat should be black one Consequent
ly, he suggests that 1t would give him
great pleasure to send an animal whose
fitness for the position may be judged
from the fact that II has been named
Jet" on account Of its beautiful black
fur. What makes II a specially desirable
candidate, the writer adds, is the fact
that it was reared in a Unitarian par
sonage, 30 that its good character can
be youched for.
The immense popularity Of this unique
new departure IN the storytelling line
may be judged by the fact that the
sale of THE Black Cat" as unprece-
dented in the history Of periodical pub
locations, and that a single New York
newsstand sold over 100 copies IN two
weeks.
