MIR. Mckinley,s smoking Habit.

The enterprising advertising gent eman
has sprung himself upon the President, as
we knew he would do before long. In
deed, his card has already obtained Con-
siderable publicity. We cannot give the
name of the cigar, but we are permitted
to say that the advertisement in question
declares that Mr. Mckinley smoked this
particular cigar during all of his fourteen
years in Congress, and has consumed not
less than thirty-five thousand of them
A simple mathematical calculation would
instruct any anxious inquirer as to the
amount of Mr McKinley's cigar bill dur
ing his fourteen years In Congress. But
that is not the point at which we are pro-
posing 10 arrive. A correspondent asks
us IL this cigar habit is not greatly in

youthofour country, who mastundoubtedly

ment about the Presidents enjoyment Of
the fragrant weed, and must even be
perusing the particular advertisement from
which we have just taken several striking
selections Our correspondent fears that
the youth of the land will not only be
tempted to smoke a great deal of tobacco,
as a consequence of all this publicity, but
thatftis very liable TO be very bad tobacco,
and to lead to other bad habits, such as
craving for strong drink. Upon the dan
gers of this practice he quotes DR.. Laban,
an eminent English authority, who says:
/ have often observed that youths who
before the habit of smoking was contracted
were resolute. manly and Wig orous in
mental fiber, became, after free Indulgence
in this practice, timid, fearful, hesitative
and irresolute. The mental stamina was

After meals you should have simply
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have indigestion, which
means not-digestion. This may be
the beginning of SO many dangerous
diseases, that it is best to take it in
hand at once and treat it with
Shaker Digestive Cordial. For you
know that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps
digestion and cures indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by
providing the digestive material in
which the sick stomach is wanting. It
also tones up and strengthens the d.

fectly happy. This is the rationale OF
its method of cure, as the doctors

reached Miss Whitney was installed
as queen of labor. Instead of being
maid of honor to the queen OF the
Kansas City carnival she had q ret
inue of her own with attendants to
serve her. Throughout the week she
was the central figure at the celebra-
ton, and when the principal officers
and State dignitaries reviewed the
parades and other features Miss
Whitney occupied q conspicuous
place among them. The girl who,
week before, had been unknown out
side of the little town where she lived
had become the recipient of honors
from those in high places, and of un-
bounded hysterical adulation from
the multitude. The story offender
ella is not less wonderful. Whether
Miss Whitney will be sensible enough
to go back to the work which brought
her first insult and then an ovation re-
mains to be seen. It is scarcely prob
able that her experience will ever be
repeated, and one can fancy her,

of when I was queen of labor at To-
peka in the fall of 97."

CHICAGO MARKET OCT.18

No SUCH continuously strong mar
ket for wheat as the present one has
been seen for years, and the American
farmer was never in better condition
to realize top-notch prices for his
grain.
1t has not been spasmodic, fever
ish market with sudden, unnatural adj
vances followed by severe depression
before producers were able to realize
on their holdings, but for the last
three months there has been q market
which, while not steadily advancing
to the dollar mark, has held steady at
80 cents or better. It has been and is
to-day market which enables the
grain raiser to select his own time for
sales and still be sure of getting q
price at which his crop represents q
most profitable investment of capital
and labor. .. a.,.. ...:.....
ITO produce such q MARKET" said
a member of the firm of Schwartz,
Dupree & Co, ''there must have been.
in operation natural laws which in the
end always govern economic situations
and problems. In this instance this
means that there has been and is still
existing a natural scarcity of grain
supplies in every country OF the civil
lied world except the United States
and that we are enjoying the fruits of
that condition in our present high
prices. An evidence of this is that
while the worlds total shipment of
wheat last week were 1856, 600 bush.
els, the United States cleared 9,O39, 600
bushels or about ,two-thirds of the
whole amount. ! Such statistics are
more valuable than any amount of en-
thusiasm based on evidences of pros
perity that are wholly local, because
they reveal condition of affairs which
not only show a present position of
great strength for this country in the
markets OF the world but also indicate
that such favorable attitude cannot be
changed until another wheat crop
and it must be bumper one-is in
sight from other countries besides the
United States"
1t is for these reasons that many of
the shrewdest men in the trade are
favorable to the bull side of wheat, ev-
en- at present prices. They also look
upon corn as having had q reaction
which should indicate it's low point
for the present. In provisions there
is not so much present opportunity
for an enhancement of values, the pre-
valence of yellow fever in the south
practically cutting off that important
market.

COMMERCIAL TREES.
II You Have Protection Introduce
Them Now.

In recent interview on the subject
of commercial trees, or those trees that
are being gradually introduced into
Minnesota that would not have, stood
the severe wintersssof former years
without protection, Mr.. J. O. Barrett,
secretary of the Minnesota State For
estry Association, said: 49,. ..a
"By experimentation the early set
tiers learned that only non commercial
trees could be successfully raised on
the open prairie. 1t may never be safe
to reject these pioneers entirely as
shelter belts for the commercial sorts
which are less hardy in the start. With
their protection, prairie forestry is SUI
ficiently developed now to warrant the
introduction of the pines, white and
red oaks, canoe white birch, walnuts,
hickories, hard naples, basswoods,
rock elms, the better ashes and some
others. It has already been demon
strated in the southern half of the
State, that walnut orcharding is q
paying success.
"In Europe are plantations of COM
mercial trees that largely support the
government. The little country of
Bavaria, for instance, owning 100000
acres of forests, receives from them
net profit annually of 100000. Min
nesota, or any other state of equal
area, can do as we'll only practically
systematic the enterprise. In Massa
chusetts, and like success in other New
England States, an eight-acre lot of
poor land, sown to pine seeds in 1850,
the trees cut in 1891, yielded $4,000
from the box boards at the mill. At
this rate 100000 acres, conditions SIM
liar, would, in 40 years growth of the
seedlings, yield $25,000,OoO; and
10000 square miles, 100000 acres,
poorest land, located at the head
lands of our principal streams, as for
est reserves, would yield ST. ,6O0,OOO,0OO
to say nothing of water economy and
healthful influences, and benefits to
the general agriculture. According to
good authorities, the increment value
of wood growth after the trees have
developed to about half their maturity,
is five cents per tree. Dating these ra-
tics, and allowing each acre to have,
average, only 100 trees, the increase in
value per year of the 10000 square
miles would be $31 100000.
calling the net but half this sum,
it is obvious that, with right manage
ment, the profit from the cut would
literally support all our State public
institutions. Is it not worth the while,
then, for the State to encourage the
