Answered His own Letter.

A certain young railroad man who
has charge of Il department in the
auditing branch of his company's bust
ness had occasion recently TO dictate Il
letter 10 the head of Il corresponding
department of another road. There
was n point in dispute between the
two railroads involving money. and
this young official had taken Il stub
born ground that the other official was
totally at fault and advanced what
seemed TO him unanswerable argu-
ments to prove it,
\ short time after he had forwarded
the letter he received Il proposition
from headquarters of the other rail
road, which lac accepted. and within 4
few days he became the head of the
department with which he had been in
dispute. The first letter which he found
on file ready to be answered was his
own on the point i'll question.
There was only one thing to do. He
Immediately dictated an answer to his
own letter, refuting and regulating
its argument. and wound up by Il heat
ed inSinuation that the writer of it was
an unmitigated donkey. OF course, the
letter was addressed to himself but in
his enthusiasm for the interests of his
new employer he did not mind Il little
thing like that.-Chicago News.

Sometimes the vaudeville theater is
an individual and independent enter
prise; more often it belongs to Il circuit.
The patronage, expenses and receipts
are enormous. One circuit will speak
for all 1t has n theater in New York,
one in Philadelphia. one in Boston. and
one in Providence, and they give no
Sunday performances. and yet these
four theaters entertain over 100000
people every year. give employment to
$50 attaches and to $500 actors.
Four thousand people pass in and out
OF each one of these theaters daily.
Ten thousand dollars are distributed
each week in salaries to the actors and
$500 to the attaches. Take one thea
ter for example. the house in Boston.
1t is open the year round, and it costs
$1,000 Il week to keep it open, while its
patrons will average 5000 every
week. on holiday it will play to from
10000 to 1900 people.-Erom THE

TO ENJOY A CIGAR.
But Few Men Ever Get the Very Fest Pos
sibIe Results

But Few Men Ever Get the Very Fest Pos
sibIe Results
Personal observation has taught
me, said Cuban cigar dealer to u
Star reporter, THAT not one person i'll a
hundred knows how to smoke cigar
to enjoy it thoroughly. For instance,
most men, after buying their cigars,
stick them between their teeth and
gnaw the ends off recklcssly, thereby
tearing and loosening the wrapper.
Then they light their cigars and puff
away as if their very lives depended
upon finishing them in Il hurry. Thus
treated the finest cigar viii burn irreg
ularly, and the smoker VIII, nine times
out of ten, lay the blame on the cigar.
The cigar may be TO blame, but i'll most
cases the fault lies III the way it has
been handled.
after a cigar has been bought the
end should be cut smoothly off by
clipper or sharp knife. The reverse end
should then be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This removes
all the little PARTICLES Of dust which
cannot be avoided in the manufacture
and prevents them from being inhaled
into the throat and from producing
coughing. The cigar should then be
lighted, and particular attention should
be paid TO its being thoroughly ignlted
all over the surface of the end. Then
instead Of putting away like a steam en-
CINE the smoker will find that three or
four puffs every minute make the best
way to enjoy the cigar. The smoke
should be kept in the mouth a short
time in order to appreciate the flavor Of
the tobacco. Then 1t should be emitted
slowly.
I'm case one side Of tho cigar should
burn and leave a ragged edge on the
other side it Is not necessary to reliSht
IL, as l often see many people do. \
gentle blow through the cigar toward
the lighted end will ignite the ragged
side, and it will burn regularly. Snokz>

not know how to enjoy Ii, and l often

CONCERNING THE PoST-oFFICE.

The post-of1ice at lola has occupied
the same site for more than twenty
years, and it will seem strange to
have it located anywhere else. But
that is exactly what is likely to hap
pen the first Of next month.
The building now used by the post
Office belongs to the Northrups. 1t
is for sale and for that reason they
will not give lease ON it except one
that is subject to sale. Postmaster
Henderson therefore is obliged to
move the office somewhere else at the
end of this month or take the chances
of being moved out into the street at
the end of some other month when
there may be no building at all
available.
The only room that is now avail
able for the Office is the room ON the
north side of the square lately occu-
pied by canyons store.
The Department requires, before
approving change in the location
of post-oflice, that petition should
be presented showing that the pro-
posed location is central one and is
approved by a majority Of the bust
ness men. OF course such petition
cannot be presented in favor of the
Lanyon room, but inasmuch as il is
the only room that can be had at all
and the tenure of which can be as
sured, it is likely that the Depart
ment will authorize the change.
lola has long ago grown past the
point where the location of the post
Office was of very great importance t'
other business interests, and the inn
pending change will not create the
connection that it would once have
done. Nevertheless it is too bad tina
the office has to be moved from ;
point where it had come to he re
garded as a fixture. 1t only empha
sizes the opinion the REGISTER ha
already expressed, that in ever!
county seat town the Government
ought to own building for the post
office. It is shame that the post
office should be shifted from pillar I
most or that it should be obliged t
share its quarters with any othe
business in order TO reduce eXpen ses
The maximum rent allowed for thir
class offices is $400 year. At GOV
