THE LITTLE GIRL

Whose Power of Observation

San Francisco Post.
A handsome young woman with a
beautiful little girl of four years sat
in a crowded Market street car yes
terday.

haven't you, Aunt Alice?' remarked
the child.
Aunt Alice flushed and called atten-

Yes, if you'll be good"

pretty, Aunt Alice"
There, be a good girl. See that
woman out there with little girl
There was period of silence, and
Aunt Alice breathed sigh of relief.
Then the child inquired:
Did mamma say you could wear her
pin, Aunt Alice? She wouldn't let me
wear it. cause she was afraid I would
lose it,
Yes, of course. Do be quiet, Nell
lie.''
VIII you buy me balloon then?"
And can carry it?"
"All right; then take mammals par
asol. I don't want to carry it any
longer, cause I couldn't carry it and a
balloon too. Haven't you got any best
dress of your own, Aunt Alice?''
Aunt Alice yanked the little girl out
| of the car by the arm, and the chances
are that she got no balloon.

the vigor of youth. For the past

''BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April %, 1894.

of the heaviest spenders in the city.
He and his wife are famous as the Civ

friends, and even to those whom they
are not intimately acquainted with. Mr..
Kelly always has on baud hundreds of
cigarettes of different varieties and

AUTHOR OF SELF HELP (AGED
EIGHTY-TWO).
VERY respectfully yours,
THOMAS M. CLARK.

My next letter is from Samuel
Smiles, the author of Self Help and of
a dozen other valuable works. He also
says that work is the only thing that
keeps man young. His letter is full of
personal details about his habits and
his work. 1t is written in firm hand.
1t reads as follows:
KENSINGTON, London, June 1854.
Dear Sir: I have to ask your pardon
for not sooner replying to your letter
of 10th April. 1t came to me through
Edinburgh, Scotland, which I left
sfifty-six years ago. Since then I have
lived at Leeds, but principally in Lon
don, where I long acted as secretary
of the Southeastern Railway company.
i I am well in my eighty-second year.

THE WEAK-MINDED WORRY.
In closing, Miss Anthony writes the
following as to the preservation of
mental activity:
Intellectual health is best preserved
by exercise of the intellect Intellect
ual decay is due to an inactivity of the
mind. The worrying people of the
world are rarely found among the
workers, for one of the lessons work.
er learns is to do the best possible at
every moment, and to trust time to
finish what cannot then be consum-
mated. Worry belongs to those who
have no faith and who assume too
great responsibility. 1t belongs to the
people who feel that all the work of
the world can only be well done by
themselves, and that they have neither
time nor strength to do it all. The true
thinker understands that nature ere
ates thousands of workers for every
work, and her faith in this standing
host preserves her from the worry that
is born of narrowness and egoism.

observed the style of cigarette he

observer the style OIL ClSdTSlle he
smoked.
The cigarette was of the fat
Egyptian kind, and it's popularity
was an characterization in gilt on the
paper wrapper. First came the
monogram of the owner, with the
Then came the full name neatly
printed in small Roman capitals,
and below this was the crest of the
Carroll family, which is more au-
thentic than the crests of some Of
the other reigning families, as it
was brought over by the first Car
rolls to settle in Maryland.
WHY HIS LEAD WAS FOL-
LOWED.
The fact that Royal Phelps Car
was abundant proof to the swell
mind that it was strictly good form.
For, during his yachting expert
ences in English waters, Mr.. Carroll
not only shook the hand that shook
the hand of the prince, as was the
case with George Gould, but actual
ly shook the hand of Wales direct.
This great distinction has placed Mr..
Carroll on pedestal of a height
that the bravest of ordinary swells
scarcely hopes to reach.
A single Egyptian firm enjoys mon
opoly of making these cigarettes, and
it should speedily grow rich out of the
orders lavished upon it. Most of the
New York swells order their cigarettes
in lots of 5000 through a New York
agent of the foreign firm. The cost Of
5000 is $110, or three and two-third
cents each. Ordered by the hundred
the price is S., or five cents apiece.
Of course this is a, trivial sum to the
rich man of today, but the quantity of
cigarettes consumed by the ambitious
dude is prodigious. In the first place,
when he receives the cigarettes on his
first order, he Immediately takes steps
to astonish his friends who are not so
we'll informed as himself. His valet
makes several packages of hundred
cigarettes each, and delivers them to
the chums of his employer as gifts. In
this way the original owner enjoys the
satisfaction of knowing that cigarettes
decorated with his name, monogram
and crest, all in costly gilt, are being
smoked in many clubs, and at the
same time building up for him the
cherished reputation of being "the
devil of a fellow

ONE YOUNG MANS RECORD.

One young swell, the son of West
ern railroad president, who has not yet
been fully admitted within the sacred
portals of the social domain, consumed
5000 of these cigarettes in two months.
Out of this number he did not consume
more than 800 himself-his friends, his
valet, and his Wallets friends smoking
the rest. Even cigarette smoking at
this rate is something of a luxury, as
it cost this young mans father $11O
month.
John Jacob Astor is not much of
smoker, but he keeps thousands of
these cigarettes always on hand at his
town house, his country home on the
Hudson and at his Newport place. AS
he entertains very extensively, there
are alyays smoking men, and, for that
matter, smoking women, too, at any
one of his numerous homes where he
may be stopping. The Astor crest looms
up with astonishing force on all these
cigarettes, but what the pleasure is
in seeing it slowly burn and frizzle
up hundred times day is a problem
too deep for ordinary comprehension.
It is the next thing literally to- burn
ing UP money, and that, perhaps, is
a satisfaction to the man burdened-
with three millions a year.

THE AsToR CONSERVATISM.

Mr.. Astor prides himself upon the
conservatism of his family and its abb
solute absence of ostentation, and this
may account for the fact that his Gig
arettes are not printed in gilt, but in

be seen on the cigarette, simply the
monogram and crest.

the Bonanza King" has been cut

pink teas, a pleasure that the rugged
young manhood of the South, West
and North, and, in fact, of any place
but New York, cannot appreciate.

ed lengthwise on the cigarette that he
tenders his guests and occasionally
smokes himself.

Fire.

About neon Tuesday disastrous con-
fagration occurred on the farm of J Ohm
Huebner, who resides north of Hub
bleton, in the town of Portland. The
dwelling, two barns, several outbuild-
ings, hay, grain, tools, and in fact
about everything perishable on the
place, were consumed, the household
goods and furniture alone being saved
The fire was started by a spark from

A barn on the premises of Luke J..

to boast of public institutions such as

the condition of matters. Although

and the citations SO appropriate and

interesting document to listen to-
Every provision of the will was thor
oughly considered and discussed, and
authorities cited sustaining the opinion
of the court. Every bequest made to
the city, Judge Bennett holds, is valid
but possession need not be taken until
after the death of both of Mr.. Coles
legal heirs-his wife and his son. If the
appeal is taken, the decision ofthe high
er court will be watched with interest.
