4 BAD PLACE 10 BE BORN IN.

There are great many advantages
in being born an American citizen.
One can hope to become President of
the United States and various other
high and mighty things; but, after all,
the greatest privilege is in being born
among people who are free from all
foolish superstitions. Suppose you
had been born on the Congo River
for instance. How would you like
that when you consider some of their
beliefs? 1t is told by persons sup
posed to be we'll informed that the
people inhabiting the district round
the Congo River share with the Ash
antees, of whom we have recently
heard such a lot, the belief that If
their high priest, the Chitome, were
to die natural death the whole world
would follow suit at once, and would
dissolve into air, for it is, according
to them, only held together by his
personal will.
Accordingly, when the pontiff falls
i'll, and the illness is serious enough
to make fatal termination probable,
a successor is nominated, and he soon
as he is consecrated, enters the high
priests hut and clubs him to death. A
somewhat similar custom obtains in
Unyore when the king falls seriously
i'll, and seems likely to die, for his
wives to kill him. The same rule is
followed if he gets beyond a certain
age, for an old Unyore prophecy
states that the throne will pass away
from the family in the event of the
king dying a natural death.

The Investigators whose names APP

applications from people who ina
CINE they have bullets or other un-
pleasant foreign substances in vari-

The story goes that not long ago a
certain local scientist received the
following letter:
ssDear Sir: have had a bullet in
my thorax for seven years. I am too
busy to come to Cleveland, but hope
you will be able to come down here

JUST FOR FUN.

I hear Unison has married rich
wife and stepped into snug little
nest of his own. Yes, hornets
nest.
III should die, you would never
get another wife who would look
after you as I have done. No, not if
could help it.
What does this mean, Jane? asked
the lady of the house. I distinctly
| told you to fry these oysters. But
allus prefers 'em stewed, mum, for
my own eating.
Tea cher-And now, Tommy, why
should we never jeer at the man who
wears ragged clothes? Tommy
cause he may have money in the
pockets of 'em.
Above all, said the throat specialist,
the lady must talk as little as posi-
BILE. Doctor, eagerly asked Mrs.
Greymair's husband is there any hope
of it becoming chronic?
Hicks-I hear there is trouble be-
tween Bowser and his wife. Wicks-
Yes, he brought home tandem and
they have been fighting ever since
about who shall ride in front.
Talk about women not hitting the
mark. Your wife just threw a stone
that knocked my hat clean off as 1
stood on the opposite sidewalk. Yes,
but my dear fellow, the stone was
aimed at a cat in the back yard.
Master Tommy is i'll, and also in
disposed to take the prescribed rem
edy. Come, my dear, said his moth
er, you must swallow your medicine.
l can't. One Always can when one
wants to. But [ don't want to.
Mr.. Barclay is well read; he repeat
ed an exquisite quotation last night.
What was it? [ can't give you the
exact words, but he said he'd rather
be something in a something, than
something else in a something else.
Borrowall-That's a fine machine
of yours, Ferguson. Some day I'll
spin. By the way, what kind of a
bicycle would you advise me to ride?
Ferguson-I'd advise you to ride one
of your own.
Pm feeling sorter queer this morn
in, said the Oldest inhabitant, an [
don't know whether Pm going to
have the chills or bolt the party. Bet
ter tell the family ter steer clear o
me; there's no telling what I may do
during the day?
Sue Fosdisck is very proposes
sing girl, isn't she? said Mrs. Taddells
to Mrs. Whites. | should say she
was, replied the latter lady. She gets
engaged to every young man who
arrives at the hotel before the rest of
the girls can get an introduction.
He-Aw, yaas, just weturned to
town after a month in the country,
you know. Gweat sport. Out in the
fawmyard one day. Old cow wanted
to lick me. Ha! ha! ha! Shells it
not wonderful how strong the ma

Electrical supply agent ought
to have a burglar alarm system in
your house, so that you would be in
stantly awakened if any intruder
were to step inside of one of the
doors or windows. Mr.. Younglove-
My dear sir, we don't need anything
of the sort. We are weaving our
baby.
Husband-Now, think this is 60
ing too far. You promised me you
would countermand your order for
that dress. Wife, wrote to the firm
that very day. Husband-But here

it, as usual.

Too Many Cats.

Posters are out announcing the en-
tertainment to be given IN North
Wohurn, Dec, IL. One rather a.
musing incident happened In con-
nection with the preparation of the
affair, 1t was found necessary to
have a number of cats in the comedy
part of the performance and it be-
came noised around town that any
one having a black cat with dramatic
aspirations would confer favor on
the management by bringing the said
feline to them on Wednesday even
ing last. Imagine the surprise of
the managers on arriving at the hall
to find an army of people each bear
ing a black cat on his or her arm. 1t
took many apologies to convince the
people that none were needed as they
already had bountiful supply, and
now the entire company is hunting
the one who started the rumor, with
a double barrelled sword.-Woburn

A Sensational Suit.

A sensational bill was filed in the
United States District Court in
Chattanooga last Thursday, against
SIX of the largest cast iron pipe
manufacturers. including the South
Pittsburg Pipe Works, charging
them with having formed a trust or
pool in violation and defiance of the
Federal statuetS.
1t is alleged that these six con-
Germs combined with an executive
board at Chicago, and when asked to
bid instead of giving the contract to
the lowest bidder, this board award
ed it to the concern agreeing to give
the largest bonus, which they divided
among themselves. AS a result of
this scheme, when the City of St
Louis bought drainage pipe they
were forced to pay IS more per tor
than they would have been obliged
under legitimate bidding, or $24
a ton instead of $18 freight included
Hence it calls tor dissolution of the
trust.

last Saturday afternoon there was a
meeting of representatives in Indiana
of free silver Democrats, Populists and
national Silver party men. The repre-

The Populists Of Indiana make the an
nouncement that within the last ten
days an understanding has been reach
ed whereby the Populists of every state
in the Union are to accept the platform
and candidate of the Chicago conven-

In accordance with the negotiation,
which began several months ago, the
Popuist national convention and the
convention of the national Silver party
have been called to meet in st. Louis
on the same day, July %, two weeks
after the meeting oR the Democratic
national convention in Chicago. The
leading Democratic advocates of free
silver throughout the country have
been quietly informed if the Chicago
convention adopts free silver plank
and dominates a candidate who will
pledge himself to sign a free coinage

aid says: With few exceptions. every
mandatory in Chicago making Ha,-
vana cigars, will be shut down within
ninety days, as one result of General
VIEWERS order forbidding the ex-
portation of leaf tobacco from Cuba.
This is the opinion expressed by some
of the largest tobacco importers in the
city, who are thoroughly posted on the
condition of the market. Another re-
suit of the Spanish generals proola-
NATION will be
THE ENFORCED IDLENESs
of thousands of cigarmakers until the
embargo is removed. What is true
here may also, it is said, apply every
where else in the United States where
Cuban tobacco is necessary to the man
ufaoture of cigars. There is no more
Havana wrapper tobacco in sight than
has already been brought to this coun-
try and this cannot last longer than
three months. The new crop for which
importers have been waiting has just
matured, but might as we'll have been
burned by the Cuban insurgents for all
the good it will do the American man
ufacturer. There is
PLENTY OF FILLER TOBACCO,
but it is useless without the proper
kind of wrapper. The small nlanufac
turers will suffer most by General Wey-
ler's proclamation. They will find It
next to impossible to buy wrapper to-
bacco at amy price in q few weeks. A
few of the largest importing firms will
profit immensely by the situation.
These firms have been investing largely
during the past month in Havana to-
bacco, fully anticipating the copbin-
gency that has arisen. Two or three
Chicago importers have been making
the heaviest shipments in their his
tory since the beginning of the month,
hoping to lay in a stock that would
carry them Through. One effect of the
constant demand from the importers
has been an advance of
NEARLY 80 PER CENT
of prices within three weeks. This
advance has not yet affected the price
of the manufactured product to the
consumer, and 1t is possible that the
users of the weed may not find the
cost of smoke beyond their reach for
several months.
