Big Men and Big Nonen.

Cyrano de Bergerac is remem bered
because Of his large nose. Few know
that he was a poet, and fewer still
know his poetry. The nose is a congpic.
uous feature Of history The length Of
Cleopatra's is said to have figured in
Roman politics, and scandal grew out
of it which ended in the ruin and death
OF Antony and the establishment of an
empire which lasted thousand years
Napoleon would not promote a man
who had not large nose. He himself
was well favored in this respect. Caesar
was "the hook nosed Roman"
All American statesmen have been
noted for this feature. Old men tell of
our own Benton, who used to shake his
nose like an elephants proboscis when
he got excited 1t seems to be the law
that all great men have great noses,
bpt LEI Qa one think that the converse
Of this is true, that all men who nave
great noses are great men. Such a con-
clusion would lead to confusion and
needless pain and disappointment. st

Evening Dress In Kansas city.

The dress suit is the most democratic
raiment in the world 1t meets the re-
quirements Of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month
Attired in evening costume, whether
the swallowtails are long or short, mar.
row or wide, all men look, practically
speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or millionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
potentiality Of a correct style. The
young man who has made a good sclec-
ton in his rented broadcloth serenely
greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothes price like $3.50.
How the fame of this world grows
small when wrapped in a swallowtail
coat among many others Of the same
cutl When the dress suit becomes the
regular evening calling and theater
dress for Kansas City men, as it should
be, the poor chaps will profit by it a
full cubit Of serenity and self respect

A MEAN TRICK.

ATF. Brooks and Mr.. Rivers Scarcely
Speak 10 Each other Now.
Brooks is somewhat particular as to
the quality Of the smoking tobacco he
uses. He buys certain mixture which
comes in ornsmented tin boxes.
A week or two ago he observed his
consumption of this tobacco had nearly
doubled.
When he made this discovery, his
suspicious fell upon Rivers.
He keeps his smoking tobacco in a
certain drawer Of his desk, and Rivers
was the only man likely to have med
died with the things in that desk.
The other night, after Rivers had
gone home, Brooks opened new box Of
that tobacco, took out about half of it
and proceeded to doctor the remaining
portion.
He procured several dozen small rub
Der bands
These he cut with a pair of sharp
shears into small bits. He mixed these
bits with the tobacco, stirring the stuff
till the particles were we'll distributed
throughout the mass.
Then he hunted about for other good
smoking material.

Tearing of the fingers, be cut them
into small shreds and added them to
the mixture.
Not entirely satisfied with this, he
cut generous section from an old oiled
rag which he had borrowed from a
typewriter young man on the next floor,
and when properly reduced to fragments
1t went to swell the grand total in the
box, now nearly full.
The mixtrre, when thoroughly stirred
up looked perfectly innocent and could
not have been distinguished, without q
microscopic examination, from Brooks
favorite brand Of smoking tobacco.
He put the box back in its accustomed
drawer and calmly awaited events
A day or two after this he noticed
that the box had been opened and a
good sized pipeful taken Gut
That box of Brooks favorite smoking
tobacco, the celebrated Hanky Panky
mixture, has not been disturbed since.
But there is a furtive look in Rivers
eye that BODIES no good to Brooks
