What" asked the burglar, mo tea,
no coffee, no lard, or butter"
NO, nothing" said Mrs. Vail.
The burglar took his hand from Mrs.
Wallis throat and told her that the next
afternoon a man would come there with
a box of groceries.
"In the box said the burglar, lyon
will find the picture of a man. Any
time you are in trouble don't hesitate
to call on him, as he is a friend of you&s. =
Mrs. Vail was away from home next
day, but the box came ali the same and
the mill6man found it on the porch next
morning The box ultimately found its
way into the hands of Chief of Police
Smith, In 1t he found one pound of lard,
two pounds of sugar, two ounces of tea,
a quarter of a pound of butter, one pound
of coffee and a yeast cake. There was
also cabinet picture of a white man,
with the name &C. e. Manton" written
upon the back.
Besides these things there was a note,
which read as follows:
''Madame--To prove that I will keep my
word, here are the things you want. C.
Il. NJ"
The chief, by means of the peculiar
string which bound the packages, traced
the place Of purchase Of the articles and
the grocer said Turner had bought them.
When captured yesterday Turner at first
denied everything. A search of his room
IN West Park, revealed a picture of Mrs.
Vail, and, being closely questioned by the
marshal he finally admitted that he had
sent the groceries to her house After a
hearing before Justice Borden Turner was
sent to Freehold Jail

little about 1t, and deciding 1t was trade

match and tossed away the blazing end
Many others asked the walters about the

When they came in they both got down

Lunacy among young children comes
from different causes. one of Them is tbe

A cigarette prepared in this way wakes
me up suddenly and makes me witty aud
ready.
People say that all women cigarette
smokers find mixture of opium and IN
sinuate it in the paper roll. The result Is
drunkenness, ianguor rest, peace,
a. dreamy, floating feeling which, once
felt. is forever craved. l don't know ex-
actly how it feels, because | have never
smoked opium. But this gives the good
feelings, the brightness, without all the
horrible rest Of it.
ME pink powder you are now smolS-
ing IS a mixture of another mixture,
clover and catnip. You will find that more
soothing If you are tired. If you want
to be quiet and restful and hear others
talk; If you have got to attend sewing
circle to make satchet bags for the
heather, this is the cigarette you want TO
smoke.
II once went to a sewing-class with a
box of these cigarettes freshly rolled.
When | showed them to the old ladies
/ thought they would faint away. But
they wanted a taste, oh dear yes! Only
they, could not make up their minds to
puff a cigarette. One withdrew to the
hail. with cigarette in hand. She came
back looking as though she had seen an
angel unawares \ The others decided to
try 1t, If i would invent a way for them
that would not be cigarette smoking. l
Hldu6 lutll CiOSt tltiI eyes, luen wrap
ped up a cigarette in my handkerchief
and carried it around the room, giving
each a little puff They though it was a
new kind of atomizer for disseminating
sweet smoke, or they said they did. They

the next day for the recipe,
Il have got half a dozen of these
'brighteners.' Many men smoke them,
and more would If they were not
ashamed; and If the tobacco habit
hadn't got in ahead of the sweet herb
habit. But athletic foot ball fellows and
bicycle boys are smoking the cigarettes,
and they find them just the thing.
