EXASPERATING EXPERIENCES

Hankering for cigar while away
from his regular supply of tobacco, a
moderate smoker stepped into small
cigar 1tore in an uptown block and
said to fat man behind the showcase:
"Give me good cigar"
"Ien or fifteen?"
"Ten," the customer replied, suspi-
cion being aroused by the surround
ings.
The dealer rummaged among several
boxes on shelf against the wall, found
one that contained about twenty yell
low cigars, end offered the box to the
customer, for him to take his pick.
"Something better than these, if you
please" the customer remarked.
The dealer rummaged again and Of
fered another box from the shelf, al
though many boxes we're displayed in
the showcase. The cigars in the Sec
ond box were trif1e darker than those
in the first box, but the customer was
not satisfied.
II think I'd rather have something
better than these.' he remarked again.
"That's good cigar" the dealer said,
angrily.

swell, don't want any. Why don't
you bring out some of those in the
showcase?"
THAT'S my business" the dealer an
swered, as he slammed the boxes down
on the shelf
"That's evident" the customer re-
marked as he pocketed his dime.
While the dealer was putting and
fuming the customer went out. Sew
eral exasperating experiences after
wards convinced the smoker that some
cigar dealers try to palm off cheap
cigars for 10 and Is cents because they
believe that nine men out of ten know
very little about tobacco. They
will have alluring displays of we'll
known brands in their show
cases, but on shelves or under
the counters they will have boxes that
contain cigars of inferior brands and
qualities. All dealers are not decep-
tive in that respect, but dealers who
desire to get more for their cigars
than they are really worth at retail
can be deceptive without much danger
of detection, because strange custom
ers are generally unwilling to make
trouble by protesting. IF, however,
they protest and demand the worth of
their money, they can generally get it;
but they must be fair judges of to-
bacco. Strange customers seem to be
looked upon as very confiding indi-
viduals.
A confirmed smoker is more particu-
lar than moderate smoker, and after
be has found cigars that suit his fancy
he buys the brand regularly, and
generally by the box, but the
moderate smoker can change brands
without caring for any particular
brand, as long as he thinks he is get
ting the worth of his money. A con-
firmed smoker is, therefore, exempt
from the tricks of deceptive dealer,

get the worth of his money, If he knows
anything about cigars or their brands.
When the dealer takes from a shelf a
box of cigars of an unknown brand,
the customer may get the worth of his
money. but in many instances he may
not. The Flor de something or other
of the deceptive dealer is not always
what it is represented to be.
All dealers who offer to customers
the boxes taken from shelves instead
of cases should not be considered de-
ceptive. Many have customers who
select cigars that suit their fancies,
and have the boxes put aside until
they empty them by daily purchases.
In store that has good trade it is not
unusual for several customers to be
served from the pile of boxes to the
one who will be served from the case.
Some regular customers prefer to have
the dealer put boxes aside for them,
because he may have better means
than they can have elsewhere for keep
ing the cigars in good condition. Per-
haps the dealer who is inclined to be
deceptive has in mind the knowledge
of that preference when he offers to a
stranger box from a pile on shelf
and hopes that the stranger will believe
that he is receiving the attention Of a
regular customer.-New York Times.

LENT AND THE DAY OF ASHES

"From joy to sadness; from feasting
to fasting; from carnival to Lent"
The great period of self denial in the
Christian church commences on Ash
Wednesday,. Originally Lent was
counted to begin on that which is now
the first Sunday in Lent, and to end on
Easter eve. If in that period we omit
the six Sundays (on which days it was
counted not lawful at any time of the
year to fast) we shall find but thirty
six days, therefore in order to COM
plete the forty days, Pope Gregory
added to Lent four days of the week
before-viz, that which we now call
Ash Wednesday and the three days
following it.
The name of the day comes from the
ancient ceremony of blessing ashes on
that day, and from the priests placing
some of them in the hands of his peni-
tents with the admonition, "Memento.
homo, quod pulvis es ct in pull
verem revertis," the ashes used
on this day in the church of
Rome are made from the palms conse-
Grated on Palm Sunday. Although SO
many Roman Catholic observances of
this kind went down before the waves
of thesgreat Reformation, this custom
did not at first disappear, for in Full
ler's Church History we read that in
the time of Henry VIII, by proclama-
ton, dated February 26, 1889, concern
ing rites and ceremonies to be retained
in the Church of England, it was or
dered that "Cn Ashe Wenisday it shall
be declared that these ashes be gwen
to put every Christian man in remem-
brance of penaunce at the begynnynge
of Lent and that he is but erthe and
ashes"
From the continent we have tales of
many strange customs in olden times
on Ash Wednesday. Thus in many
parts of Germany the young men and
women of village would assemble
and the girls, mounting tumbril or
cart, would be drawn for miles by the
youths Ia minstrel standing on top and
playing all the way), who at last tum-
bled them into some lake or river, and,
as the old chronicler says, "would
there wash them favoredly. At
Dion, in Burgundy, it is the
custom on the frst day of Lent, to
make large fires In the streets, whence
it 10 sometimes called "hrebrand day.

OFFENSIVE MR.. BAYARD
BY EDMUND NORTON

Mr.. Bayard, our ambassador to Eng
land, has proven himself 30 seriously
offensive that he should beyond doubt
be recalled. Every American citizen,
high or low, rich or poor, great or
small, who loves the honor of his coun-
try and respects the traditional assin-
unity of the average American politician,
should demand il, and see that his de-
mand is complied with.
Mr.. Bayard's offense becomes all the
more severe when we remember that he
is possibly descended from the famous
cavalier. whose exploits grace the his
tory of declining feudalism. He who
rode his horse with the accomplish
ment, and courted the ladies' with the
polish of u finished French gentleman;
who, even when he pinked an antagon-
ist beneath the fifth rib with his sword,
crushed his helmet with heavy mace,
or jammed a javelin through his gorget,
did it with the ease, grace and delicate
courtesy of one without reproach."
Can it be possible that this is the pro-
totype Of our ambassador? Judging
from the Cry arising, it cannot be.
Mr.. Baysrd's offenses have been
many. To begin with, he ia a Demo
crat. This alone is grave breach of
the full-rounded Chesterfieldian eti-
quette of American Republicanism.
But when we think that he has been a
successful secretary of state, and an
honored representative at the court of
st. James, under q Democratic admin
istration, the situation becomes awful,
and the eliminating atrocity is reached
when he dares to aspire to equal in
culture Phelps or Lowell, and his
damnation is finally sealed when the
Edinburgh Philosophical society, one
Of the most learned bodies in Europe,
distinguishes him by an invitation to
address them.
OF course, Mr.. Bayard's real crime
was In calling American protectionism
s'socialism". and of course he told the
truth, but herein lay the offense.
Bayard was a statesman, talking to a
society of cultured men, instead of be-
ing Q politician, playing the dema-
gogue to the ignorant galleries, and
the lightning OF telegraph, press and
mail sent the stinging rebuke to un-
holy robbery over the continent like a
slap In the face to every Republican
socialist in the country. Now, this is
where he did wrong, failed to observe
the proprieties. He should have chosen
for . subject The Moon and Green
Cheese, or Lsplace Theory of Astron-
omy, or anything else. But this un-
covering Of pilfering hands in neigh
bors' pockets, with the cry of ''stop
thief," was most unseemly rude, and
not to be tolerated.
Anybody at all acquainted with the
Eudiments of sociology knows that
there are but two extreme principles
that divide most thinkers-socialism
and anarchy. Socialism ia paternalism.

AS tC the way in which the Lenten
fast used to be kept in olden time,
little need be said. Although meat,
butter and the like were prohibited,
enormous sums were spent in procure
ing the rarest fish, and the many ways
in which eggs can be cooked are said
to be traceable to the ingenuity of the
medieval Gordon bleu, who tried not
to tire the palate of the fasting OBJ

into the air.
