COLOR OF CIGARS.
Strength of the Havana Can't Be
Judged From the Wrapper.


Washington Star
"One of the most absurd ideas that the
!, average smoker has about Havana cigars
is the notion that the color of such a
weed, be it light or dark, is indicative Of
Its strength, said a large manufacturer
OF Cuban. cigars to the writer recently
ut is no such thing. A light or medium
colored cigar is-not necessarily mild or
medium in flavor, for the simple reason
that the color only refers TO the outside
wrapper. Which in itself is OF very thin
and small quantity as. compared with the
other materials that go to make up the
cigar, As matter of fact the filters
and bunch wrappers are the only parts
that Will determine the body or strength
Of the cigar. The actual strength, or
otherwise. of the inner body of the cigar
the filler and bunch wrapper, is only
known to, then expert. and. therefore,
when purchasing a cigar the smoker who
is not a judge of the various grades Of
tobacco used to- give a cigar it's flavor
should be guided in his choice of mild
medium or full cigar by the manufacture
er or the dealer Not doing so, he will
find that his own selection Of a cigar
from the wrapper is largely a matter Of
chance.
THE craze for light or dark eolors has
nevertheless assumed alarming proper
tons. The manufacturers, particularly
those of Cuban made cigars, are at pres
ent at their wits ends 20 know how to
grapple with the matter. Nature is very
impartial and quietly ignores the fads
and fancies Of people in general. Tobac-s
CO leaves, like most things, are subject
to the ,vdgarieS Of the natural elements,
A crop may give an undue proportion of
dark, light. or medium; except for color
all may be equally good. What is the
manufacturer to do if he can only dispose
of his light and medium and has to keep
all his dark +, He already threatens to
raise, the price, OF, his lighter colors, in
which case the smoker would be paying.
higher price for by no means the best
article. It might be reasonably assumed
that as possessing the essential qualities
Of a good cigar the darker cigar Is by far

PEACE.

The century old is passtng.
And fast on the Scrott of time
The scribe Is closing the record
For aye OF wreck or rhyme.
A record of war and carnage,
OF heartless greed of gain.
OF struggle and disappointment,
OF sorrow and of pain.
All! that Is the wreck and the sadness
But there's rhythm and rhyme and gIee
In the lifting of heavy burdens,
In the joyance of men set free.
And out OF the din OF the conflict.
As the years of the century cease.
A voice from the Rhineland whispers:
Write for the last word-'Peace.
For the past benediction,
A hope for the years to be.
A message from out the ages.
An echo from Galilee;
A breath from a higher nature.
A thought from a broader plan.
A word that knits men together,
A love that links God and man.
Peace on the broad Atlantic.
Peace on the Orient shore.
Peace at the courts of the nations,
Peace and an "open door"
Peace while the wings of commerce
.ldSweep DER the seas broad span.
Pea &c in the heart and the conscience, ~
TdReace and good will to man.
