A DIFFERENT CUSTOM.

What In Proper I'm the Unfted slater
In Not in MexIe0.
The man who had been down in Mex
leo trying to buy UP q carload Of silver
dollars made for the American market,
and guaranteed worth their weight in
sterling silver, was in town the other
day looking for customers. Incidental
ly he ran across Star reporter and
offered to sell him ton or two of dol
lars. Then the man asked for a light
and the reporter, Tipping the ashes
from his cigar, handed it over; TO the
returned traveller.
There's such a a difference in ir'. Gus
toms" said the man, taking his light
from the borrowed cigar. "Now You
notice how politely and thoughtfully
for thoughtfulness is the true polite
nessvyou knocked the ashes off. your
cigar when you handed st to me to light
mine?"
Reporters are always polite" Isug-
gested the reporter. WI
"As I was saying" continued the
man, unheeding, There fs such a diff
ference in customs. Now, when went
TO Mexico the first time, didn't know
the Mexican code of manners, and
lbout the first thing did when landed
was to ask man for a light. He hand
ed me cigar with the ashes on.
thought it was bad manners, but i
Hipped them off and kindled my weed.
I did that four or five times, and !
always got it in the same way. Then
began to hope some of them would
ask me for light so could show Mex
leo what real manners were. I got the
chance one day, and when man asked
me for light Tipped off the ashes and.
with salaam at least two yards across
in it's widest sweep, 1 extended him
the blazing stump. He took it, of course,
being too polite. to treat a stran7
ger otherwise, but he did it in way
that showed me something was wrong,
and began asking a question or two.
"The result, was that I e discovered
what the true form was and what nii
asst had been making Of myself try
ing to teach those old CASTLE soaparcopS
what the. code cigarro was. My in
structor told me that the thing to do
was to leave the ashes on at their full
and to daintily touch the unlighted CT
gar or cigarette Just about the fire line
between the ash and the tobacco. After
that, being NO longer in IGNORANCE, to
avoid blootlshed or international COM
plications, never again was flip with
the ashes Of my cigar" Washington

TILLMAN TROUBLED
Over Possible Fate Of the Dispensary
Law

WASHINGTON, June 1.-When SEN
ator Tillman was asked today for an ex-
preston concerning the decision OF
Judge Simonton in the South Carolina
dispensary case, he said that the state
undoubtedly would appeal the case to
the supreme court Of the United States
There is nothing else to do" said he,
so far as this case is concerned. The
state has exhausted her present re-.
sources and must wait upon the supreme
court and congress-
He said the decision practically an
nulled the Wilson act of 1890 and that If
1t should be sustained by the supreme
court nothing would be left but to get
congress to pass another law that could
be made binding. This, Senator Till
man says, he will use his efforts to ac-
complish, but on account of the method
of proceeding in the house, he has very
little hope of success during the present
session. He thinks the senate could be
induced to act if there was any possl-
bility OF getting action in the house.
I'VE don't surrender the principle. "
he said, land I shall take some step here
to maintain it, but just what shall do
and when shall attempt to do anything
Will necessarily depend upon circum-
stances"

ton of the civil code which permits a
