 Helena Independent: An inspector in the service of the internal revenue de- partment visited a cigar store in a little town a few days ago, made purchase and asked the proprietor few questions.
 "I see that this is the last cigar in the box," he said, as the box was set before him. Suppose I told you that didn't care to smoke one that had been paved over by every man before me, what would you do"
 "Open fresh box, of courSe," the ci- gar man replied, "that is, if you had the price,"
 "And then, to save yourself trouble, you would put the old cigar in the new box, break up the old one, and put the new one in it's place in the showcase, wouldn't you?"
 ''I think would"
 "Well, my friend, every time you do that you are liable to a fine of $500" the inspector said, rendering card.
 The cigar man looked frightened, as he stuttered an apology.
 "How many dealers do the same thing we can't estimate," the official explained afterward, "and yet it is against the law, and is punishable by a heavy fine. The law prohibits, in plain terms, the placing of cigars in boxes other than the originals. presume that almost every dealer vio- lates the law occasionally.

 witness an incident, or a series of in- cidents on Congress street to-day, which will remind lawyers of the famous ''Squib case" A driver of a package delivery dropped a somewhat sizable bundle upon the sidewalk. Falling with a thud of very considerable size it startled dog, which in jumping to avoid the bundle ran against a woman, who in her efforts to prevent herself from falling, nearly over threw another woman with whom she collided. This latter wOman's parasOl came in contact with passing man, who dodged his head with sufficient force to shake off his eyeglasses which, falling upon the ground, were stepped and ruined by young woman who was walking up street with a young lpan for companion. The whole train did not take moment, but by the time the man had picked up the now useless frame of his former eye glasses the bundle dropper was some dis tance down street unconscious of the mis- chief his carelessness had wrought, while the poor dog, as if certain he had done wrong, was rapidly sneaking upstreet.
