FIGHTING THE TOBACCO TRUST.
"A Canadian Higgins Suit to Recover
Lost Profits

Montreal, Dec. 2S.-The charges of GRIM
inal conspiracy to impede trade, made by
j. M. Fortier, against the American To-
bacco Company, is assuming an aspect far
more important than 1t was at first ex-
pected. Warrants have been issued in
Quebec for the arrest of such members of
the company as may be in Montreal, and
they will have to appear for trial in Que
bee on Jan. z.
In the meantime the profits which Mr.
Fortier would have earned had not the
American company, alleged, impeded the
trade, is now being figured upon by his
attorneys, who will at once institute civil
action for damages. The sum will prob
ably total up an aggregate of several
hundred dollars. and the suit for its re-
covery will be bitterly fought.
Preparations are now being. made by
which warrants VIII be issued in nearly
every province in Canada wherever the
American company has succeeded in get
ting a dealer to sign an agreement. These
warrants will be served on the Montreal
members, and they will have to appear
for trial in as far distant a province as
Prince Edward Island.

A Young Baltimore Woman Whose Nerves Prevented Her from Rest ing-A Tortured Mind and a

 Mrs. Jessie Shea is young married wom- an whose tidy home is at S55 West I.exing- lon Street, Baltimore. For many months Mrs. Shea was q terrible sufferer from a nervous affection which resulted in general debility and superinduced that ofttimes in- turabie malady, insomnia. A Herald re- porter called at her residence recently. and was shown into the neatly furnished Darlor and told that Mrs. Shea would be aoWn in few minutes. Soon a light step was heard tripping down the stairway and Mrs. Shea, radiant with health and the Ylgor ot young womanhood, entered the room; hen asked if she had used Dr. Will Jams, Pink Pills, with smile which beto kened the utmost satisfaction the young tady replied: "Yes, have used them, and had not heard of them doubt if would have been here to answer your call n

The copperhead at first took no notice ot the box; perhaps be was asleep and aidn't see me put it in the cage. After few minutes the mouse came out te explore, and in it's peregrinations ran over the coils of the metionless snake The contact evidently aroused both; for the mouse scampered off into the hole in the cigar box, while tine eopperhead. in his turn, set cut on a voyage of dis covery. The sight of the mouse, and probably the smell Of it where it had passed, evidently excited its appetite. Tor he examined where it had run with DIS tongue, stopping in his examination to yawn and stretch his fangs as if get. ting them into readiness for action. All through the leaves he searched, and was almost lost amongst them, so much did his reddish coat and brownish blotches harmonize with their sober autumn tlnts. No wonder, then, when the mouse came out a second time, expect ing to find it's enemy where it had left him, it approached carelessly within striking distance of his snout. But the vigilant eye of the snake saw the little nibbler as it approached. and, draw ing his long body unseen into a coil beneath the leaves, launched out as soon as the poor mouse came within distance, and held it firmly with fangs buried in it's quivering body. He soon swallowed it, and then continued to explore and investigate. Would he now get the young ones, too? At last he approached the cigar box. The hole which the mouse-mother had made for a doorway he felt round with his tongue, and finally decided to enter. Inch by inch he passed through the hole, until fairly eight inches of his neck was within the box
 For more than 20 minutes he re mained thus engaged in the mouse nest. At last he came out, yawned, as if to get his jaws and fangs into place, and then went off among the leaves. Tax ing the opportunity of his being at the other end of the cage, I withdrew the glass and took out the cigar box. Alas. l the poor infants had followed their mother into his capacious stomach. | turned ont the nest, and shook it up, to see if he had left or missed even one But no; he had made a clean sweep and exterminated the whole family.
 If such things often happen in na. ture-and we must reasonably assume that they do-we can see what use full role is played by these dreadful serpents, in keeping in check tht swarming hordes of rodent marauders i G. R. O'REILLY.

Kicked Out HIS own Tooth.

A Waterville (Me.l man had the tooth ache the other night, but didn't wish to take the trouble to hunt up dentist, and so concluded to remove the trouble some tooth himself. It was double tooth in the upper jaw and badly de- caYcd. He had no instrument of any kind with which to do the job except a strong string, but with this he pro ceeded to put hitch about the tooth, and, having everything in readiness, made loop on the other end of the line, put his foot in the loop and gave a strong kick. Indeed, he kicked too hard and the string broke. By this time the tooth was aching a good deal worse than at first, yet the man did not lose his nerve, but, like Robert Bruce's spider. decided to try again. This time he selected a strong cord, made an extra good hitch around the aching molar, put his foot through the loop and gave another kick. This time the line held, but the tooth gave way and flew across the room.
