Tobacco continues to be the feature of
the stock market, with very large total

there would be indications in the present
situation of higher prices. Indeed they

the probability is extremely dangerous.

Alexander Dumas, the great
French author, was qnadroon, and
showed his African parentage 10 his
wooIly hair, his dark skiu, his thick
lips, and his prodigious bodily

that many people looked askance ut
him on account of it.

great grandfather was a monkey"

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

Marriages wouldn't be fail
ures if men weren't.
The only real fascinating girl
you ever see is on the calendar.
The average marriage degen-
crates into a family or a found
ling asylum.
Probably when the father fell
on the prodigal sons neck he
jumped on it real hard.
Every new leaf a man turns
over the devil lays on top of
the pile under the grid he is
saying for him.
When it is said by a woman
that ''her hair falls to her
knees" she means that she
bends over.
When a girl thinks she has a
pretty foot she will generally
find it muddy everywhere.
a hen has right to cackle
when she lays an egg; she has
sense enough never to lay three
at time.
A good woman's love is like
star. The reason it does not
always shine is because it is
higher than the clouds.
When a man swears off for
any other reason than to please
his wife he is apt to think he is
in earnest.
The average man had just as
soon hear a girl gargle her
throat as to hear her sing a
song with trills in it at a church
concert.
The reason that childhood is
so harpy is not because grown
people were once children, but
because children have never
been grown people.-New York
Press.

Portrait OF Mr.. Brock.

Mr.. Freeman has placed at Franck
Brothers his latest work, which is a
portrait of Mr.. r. a. Brock, the we'll
known historical writer and genealogist.
The artist had a good subject, and has
handled it TO the best advantage for
showing his talent. Rarely has a
stronger head or one that stands out in
holder relief from the canvas been seen
here. The likeness is perfect, the model
ling bold and confident and the color
treatment strikingly effective. The sub
ject's characteristic manner Of holding
his head when about to speak has been
caught, and the details Of hair. beard
ana facial lines are worked out with
most realistic faithfulness.
