OF whether q sick person was goin' to die
or get we'll. Death was only too glad to
grant Dan Maloney these conditions. He
agreed to let Dan now live his natural tarm,
and he told him, moreover, how to know
whether a sick person was goin' to get well
or not When you says Death to Dan,
go Into the room of a sick person / give to
you the power of seem me, and you're to
look to see whether l stand by the sick
mans head or feet. If l am standin' by his
feet, that names he'll get we'll, but IL I'm
standin' by his head all the docthors in
Europe won't cure that man. He's booked
for me- Then Dan REALISED him, and poor
Death hobbled off as best he could after his
nights airin'.
And now Dan Maloney pitched his budget
To the dickens, cursed tinkerin' and quit it,
and announced himself as a doctor fit to cure
all things durable. And short time he was
at the dootorin' afore his name and his
fame as a wonderful doctor spread entirely
far and wide, not alone over Ireland, Eng
land and Scotland, but the whole continent Of
Europe. Bekase, whenever Dan Maloney
was called in to see a sick man, he at wanst
pronounced on him whether he could cure
him or not. II Dan ever said, I'll cure
him." that man was sartin to be cured; and
IL Dan said, mo man can cure him." that
man was sartin to die. Wan single predic-
ton OF Dams was never known to fail. So
it was little wonder his practice grew great
and fast. He never made a smaller charge
than 5 guineas to the rich for bein' called
in only wanst, so afore no time Dan didn't
know his own riches. The poor Dan never
charged, or wouldn't accept nothin' from,
but always give to them his services free.
Princes and ~praylits, councillors and kings
from all arts and parts called for Dan Ma
loney when they TUX bad, and Dan was con-
veyed in state with mounted and armed
guards Of honor ridin' afore him and be-
hind him. through many's a country of
Europe. And at last he come to be cousid-
cred as almost, If not altogether, the great
est man in all Europe and the wurrul' put
together.
He built a castle with a window in it
for every day OF the year and he lived in
all the grandeur and state Of a prince, him
that used to be but a poor ~sthrugglin' tinker
who, when he got his breakwust, didn't
know whether he'd earn his dinner or no
and he entertained at his castle all the
greatest and grandest company Of the land.
Flo many years this kind OF thing went
on, Dan getting richer every day, and Law
isher, and more generous to the poor-for
he never forgot he was poor wanst himself,
and SO never neglected the poor around him
now, but in purtikler poor thinkers. For
many years, then, this sort of successful
and grand life went on; but wan day, at
long and at last, what would We have of it,
but Dan Maloney fell sick himself with a
faiver. And after he was sick nine days
he opened his eyes on the ninth mornin'
and seen Death standin' over him at the
head of his bed!
This was a mighty bad fix for poor Dan,
and no mistake; and a mighty sweat it put

till his assistance. Il want says Dan,
says he, till his wife, two good stout men
to be brought Until the ROOM And when
they were brought in Dan ordered them TO
lift him and turn him with his head to the
other end of the bed. And when they did
this Dan had Death at his feet. And Death
shuk his fist at him in a mighty rage and
went away.
1t was no time, then, till Dan was we'll.
and on his feet again. And behold We. no
sick man that Dan was called in to see now.
died, at all at all. Bekase, IL Dan ever found
Death at their heads he'd have them turned
the other way in their beds. So It soon got
that no wan died at all within a great
radius OF Dan Maloney; and Death was In a
thunderin' rage, as you may Well believe.
To be revenged upon Dan, he at last got
Gould Age and Disease to attack him; and
great havoc they wrought upon Dan and
Dams temper. And Dan was so harassed
be these that, wan day, when he met Death.
he proposed to Death that they should come
to farms He agreed to give up curin'

upon Dan, and life was gettin' wearisome
to him he proposed that he'd like to change
his way OF liyin' altogether, and If Death
would only consent to turn him into a
salmon in the Eske river and let him live
swimmin' about, and up and down, and
leapin' and playin' till the Day OF Judg-
ment, Dan would be well satisfied and would
never give Death no trouble more.
ITO this Death consented and turned Dan
into a lovely white salmon in the river Eske.
and there he has been swimmin' and
meanderin' about ever since. And there's
never a fisherman ever hshed that river
that hasn't set his heart upon hookin' that

"Wanst there lived close by the town OF

Egyptian Tobacco.

TuluS is all0Weu.
Egyptian Tobacco.
Zone OF the most interesting bits Of In
formation that I picked up was that we a.
a nation are being delightfully."- imposed upon
in our use Of Egyptian tobacco. Since the
Chicago exposition and hts Midway plais-
ance, which brought with 1t many eastern
customs and an American demand for east
ern products, We have been using Egyptian
tobacco and especially Egyptian cigarettes
in this country to a considerable extent.
These cigarettes. in fact, are considered the
finest of imported brands and cost accord
! ingly. Yet, here we are paying 2 and 3
cents a smoke for go~ld-papered cigarettes
which never saw the light of Egypt. Strange
as it may seem, Notwithstanding the sup
posed fine climate OF Egypt for growing to-
bacco, and the extensive irrigation systems
of the Nile, where agriculture reaches a
high state of perfection, good tobacco cannot
be grown in Egypt, and, as a matter OF fact,
the Egyptian government has decreed
against the growing Of any tobacco what.
ever within it's jurisdiction. All Egyptian
tobacco is raised in Turkey. The Turks are
fine tobacco growers and expert tobacconists.
For some reason they adopted the name Of
Egyptian" tobacco to sell their goods.
The Egyptians, on the other hand, being able
ITO raise only inferior grades, saw that I'M
less something was done these fine Egyp-
tian brands would soon be discredited, 80 In
order to keep up the high standard OF
Egyptian" tobacco, and to retain the
! prestige and glory which the Turkish to-
bacco had brought them, the Egyptian gov
eminent employed the drastic measure OF
prohibiting any growth of the plant in
Egypt.

was considered prior to the fair open:

goodly share of the remainder of the
money will be used as guarantee fund
