Alex. Riston, the cigar manufacturer,
makes some OF the best brands of cigars
on the market, and yet there are COM
paratively few Of the business houses OF
Reynoldsville that handle his cigars.
We haye not made inquiry as TO how
much cheaper, II any, outsiders can de-
liver cigars to our busines men than Mr..
Riston does, but the fact that he finds a
good sale for his cigars in other towns
is evidence that his prices are as low as
any other cigar manufacturer. For the
very reason that our towns-people do
not patronize each other as they should,
the town-with all its past success-has
not been as good business place as it
might have been. 1t is fact that can
not be gainsaid that too many people OF
our town spend their money out of town
for things they could get at home just
as cheap. Ladies will send to city firms
for dress goods, &C., and in numerous
cases pay as much, and more, than they
would for the same article at home, and
pay the express or mailage in addition.
II the people want to make Reynolds
vile better town than IL now is they
should patronize home stores and home
Industries, but business men should set
the example. II Mr.. Riston sells more
cigars In town he will give employment
to more men and there will be SO much
more money put in circulation here.
What Is true Of Mr.. Riston's cigar man
ufactory is true Of all other industries
IN town.

Ha,x to Quiet n Child.

A little girl frequently fancied she
saw bears and tigers whenever she hap
pened to awake in the night. Presuma-
bly, she dreamed Of some danger, may
be on account Of having eaten too much
for supper or having eaten the wrong
kind Of food. At any rate, she frequent
ly awoke crying in the night, and in
her fear interpreted the dim outlines Of
o dress or curtain as fearful beast
that was about to attack her. The best
thing to do Is to deal tenderly with such
fancies and remove the child as far as
possible from the object that has caused
her excitement.
Then, if you can do so without dis
turbing the other children, light the lamp
and let the light fall full on the thing
that has given rise to her fear. Be slow,
and express your opinion first as kind
Of preliminary assumption that the bear
may after all be mammals skirt or the
curtain moving in the draft, and when
this comforting probability is under
stood follow up your advantage and de-
clare it to be a good joke that harm,
less piece of cloth should look like fear
full animal. Make the child smile at the
incongruity of her fancy, and her laugh
will cure the horror Of the dream and
dispel the nightmare as sunshine dis
solves the mist. Arena.

Luxury, Right or Wrong.

Discussing the right or wrong Of
luxury in The North American Review,
Professor F. Spencer Baldwin, Boston
university authority on economics
comes to these conclusions:
"There are justifable and there are
unjustifiable Injuries.
"In general it may be laid down that
a luxury which contributes to the eff
cheney of the individual in the widest
sense and which does not impose on So
ciety for the satisfaction of its demands
an unwholesome and degrading form of
labor is perfectly justifable.
"This sanction of luxury is not to be
stretched to cover unlimited self in
diligence. The part played by rational
self sacrifice in the development of char
acter is not to be overlooked Constant
self indulgence is demoralizing.
"But in general man has right to
spend money for anything that enriches
and diversifies his life, and thus aids in
the developing and rounding out of his
personality, provided the labor that is
required for the production of the arti-
Giles in question be agreeable and innoc-
uous.
"On the other hand, luxury that de-
moralizes the individual or calls for a
noxious form of labor is unjustifiable. "

trained skirt, and garnitures of chiffon
and embroidery on the high bodice and
sleeves. Her tulle veil was fastened by
sprays of lilies of the valley, and her
bridal bouquet was loose bunch OF the

Elephant Hunting In Nubia.

When the elephant is pursued on foot,
it is invariably sought in the depths of
the forest, where it has retired for shell
ter from the MONDAY sun and also for
the short repose it takes during the "a
hours. The hunter, having tracked his
quarry to its retreat, is obliged to use
the utmost stealth in approaching it,
the elephant being very light sleeper
and awakened by the slightest unusual
sound. .a..
The difficulty of moving through a
dense, thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might be produced by nature, such as
the stirring of the branches by light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf, is greater than can be realized
by any one who has not tried it.

A Sister Lost,

At one time, when two Cheyennes got
to gambling, one lost, and luck seemed
to be against him. After he had lost
every piece of property he had, in des-

through the tribe, but no one intimat-
ed that the unfortunate girl should not
go and live as the wife of the man who
had won her in game of cards.

about to be forced upon them. The pro-

treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing it's work. The pro-
