times nightmarish tumble.
I'm the older bill-rooms will be seen
pictures of bygone favorites of the
American stage-of many persons who
were famous the other day and who to-
day are quite forgotten. They are
usually represented in their favorite
costume and part. Some of these were
the rage but few years ago-drew big
salaries and had everything their own
way. There are women who actually
queened it over the whole country

and wore princess diamonds. Why,
their very names are forgotten! l am
not an old-timer, though I'm familiar
with the stage, and tell you I've been

across these pictures on the bill-room

they had been, and to be set to thinking
what had become of them!"

1t has been said that the tobacco habit
Is a curse to humanity. On the other
hand, thousands are blessing the plant
whose fumes afford them pleasure and
consolation. Tobacco is held to be the
friend of the rich and poor alike, and
the laboring man after hard days
work finds just as much pleasure in his
clay pipe as the millionaire in his Ha-
