Stogics and Their Name,

From the New York Herald.
The origin of the name "stogie," or
toby as it is called in western Penn
sylvania has been matter of considerable
dispute The most probable derivation is
that given by Wheeling manufacturer,
who has been engaged in stogie making for
sixty years. He says:
THE names 'stogie' and toby are both
authorizations. About eighty years ago, be-
fore the days of railroads and after the
completion of the National Pike connect
ing the cities of Washington and ST. Louis
there was used for conveying goods a
vehicle called a conestoga wagon, or simply
conestega. The drivers of these were called
conestoga drivers. In those days the pipe
was used by those unable to afford cigars
Some inventive genius-I have forgotten his
name-conceived the idea of making a
cheap smoke for the driver. He got some
tobacco and rolled or twisted 1t in crude
way so that smoke would go through it..
came to be called 'conestogas.' The to-
bacco used was of good Kentucky stock,
which was, in those days, very cheap Be
sides, there was at that time no internal
revenue tax on them. When began bust
ness in 1910 there was one other man en-
gagged in it, and both factories employed
from four to seven men"
The character of the Stogie has changed
but little in the seventy-five years of it's
manufacture The stogie of the early days
was about four and one-half inches long
and made by hand of long filler Kentucky
tobacco. The stogie of today is six and
one-half inches long, but the materials and
process of manufacture remain the same

Where do you suppose Mr.. Burroughs

Constance inoonsequently. Don't you
think Ross could find out?"
Ross tried and his report was far from
encouraging. Jack says he is not going
anywhere; that labor is allowed only one
vacation, the long one that comes after
everything else.

with an air of confidence.

Jack was shy at first He was sensitive

conquered the position at which he aimed,
and he had got quite out of the way Of
holiday making. But when Ross assured
him that none Of their old set were in town
and limited that Constance expected his
company-had even, perhaps, remained in
the city on his account-he resisted no
longer. And soon it became a regular
habit for him, when work stopped at noon,
on Saturdays, to change his clothes at the
foundry and go directly to keep an ap-
pointment with Ross and the girls. Merry
times they had at Manhattan Beach, Long

From the twentieth story, where grand
banquet was being set out, Constance and
Jack assembled three flights of stairs, to the
upper floor of the dome. There they step

masked by a breast-high facing of orna-

Their interview in the evening was long
and pleasant. Ross. notwithstanding a
rooted antipathy to eXertion, was quite
honest in his expression of hearty admira-
ton for Jacks pluck, energy and endur-
ance. And he noted with satisfaction that
year of arduous toll had left few marks
on his friend. Jack looked more powerful
than formerly-and he never was a weak
ling-his face had grown graver and more
earnest than it used to be. which made him
seem little older than he was. but in the
main, when out of his working clothes he
looked the same old Jack

On the GfertOry Plate.

From the London Daily Telegraph
A Leeds contemporary states that at q
certain Yorkshire church a pair Of spec
tacles was recently put on the offertory
plate. The church warden courteously
handed them back, supposing them to have
been put there In absence of mind, but the
donor again deposited them on the plate.
and, not wishing to make a scene, the Of
fetal finished his collection, and tine spec
tacles were duly presented with the other
aims. However. after the close of the
service he took them down to the donor
(who was a stranger to the place. and said
he feared they were given by mistake.
Judge of his surprise on being assured 1t
was intentional, and no mistake; that the
reader Of the prayers had made SO many
blunders in reading that the donor pre-
sumed he could not see, and so presented
him with a pair of spectacles. The Incl
dent recalls Bishop Baring's significant
present of a razor to the curate whose
reading was impeded by his heavy mus
tache.
