CIGAROLOGY.
some Indications OF Character in
the Manner OF Handling
, the Weed.

When you see man grip a cigar be-
tween his teeth and hold it fast, careless
of whether it burns or not, you can set
him down as an aggressive, calculat-
ing and eNacting, not to say canny, in
dividual.
If man smokes n cigar deliberately,
Just enough to keep it lighted, and de-
lights in taking it from his mouth and
watch the blue smoke from it curl up
ward, he is likely to be an easy-going
man, good-natu red and honest, says an
exchange.
There is another fellow who smokes
intermittently, takes q puff and then
rests, and fumbles his cigar about.
lie is apt to have little decision of char
meter, and to be easily affected by cir
cumstances. A man may be nervous
and tumble his cigar good bit, and in
this event he is n would-be swell, vain
and frivolous.
He invariably tits his cigar upward,
while a sensible, level-headed fellow
will hold it straight out from his mouth
When you see man chewing up an
unlighted cigar, and twisting it about,
he is nervous, but of great tenacity.
A man who cannot keep his cigar
alight has a whole-souled disposition.
He has lively nature, is hail-fellow-
well-met, glib of tongue, end usually
good story teller.

great carrying trade, Of great foreign
shipping interest, of great marine

Notice TO Subscribers.

The lady who solicited subscribers
for the Weekly REGISTER last spring
reported verbally that some of those
who subscribed for six months asked
to have the paper discontinued at the
expiration OF that time. She failed,
however, to make out list of such
subscribers before going away, and
we are unable to comply with their
request without further notification
from them. We would therefore re-
quest that all subscribers who wish
their paper discontinued at the end
of the lime for which they paid in adj
vance, to drop us Il card when that
time arrives so that their wishes may
be carried out. In the absence OF
such notification it will be tab en- fol-
granted that the subscriber does not
wish his paper stopped, and it will
therefore be continued to his address
to be paid for at the regular rate

Prosperity Struck Deep.

lola has slipped the delicious flavor
of unparalleled prosperity for three
dulled but she rises to the present
occasion with renewed delight, for
the real thing seems TO have just
reached here
A drive out south of town shows
many pleasing prospect" and
many a busy man. About an eighth
of mile east of the mound the
Cement Company has begun its enor-
nous task. In the field which has
been devoted to sumac and iron weed
for ages and ages all is changed.
Fifteen teams and about forty men
are busy from morning to night plow-
ing and scraping and shoveling, re-
moving the earth from space of an
acre and carrying it onto the adjoin-
ing acre. This is where one OF the
half dozen big buildings will stand.
Nearby the operation is being dupli-
Gated on another acre. Off to one
side frame building has been hast
lily thrown up to lie used as tool
house and work shop. And all over
the forty acre tract are stakes which
indicate where buildings are to be
! erected and where the switches are
to be built. The earth looks like
shadow picture of a great thriving,
humming factory.
On the north side of the mound the
Brick Company has expended about
$1,000 in blasting away the mound
ana has thrown out IA mountain of
shale and leveled it Off, max ing a site
for their plant. The mound has
proved to he one pile of shale, suited
for brick making and the company
is much pleased. For three weeks
the machinery has been on the cars
at Bucyrus, Ohio, waiting the de-
liberate movements of the Santa Fe,
which has been promising a switch
for weeks. Not move has yet been
made looking to the construction of
the switch, save the surveying, and
both the new factories are being de-
layed on that account. In COMPARE
son with the prompt generosity In
this matter of the Missouri Pacific
the laggardness of the Santa Fe is
aggravating to say the least. The
ice plant has operated for two sum-
mers and the promised switch is yet
unbuilt.
In the edge of the woods near the
cement works there are camped prob
ably twenty families waiting chance
to go to work. The car of tools be-
longing to the company is delayed on
the road and they have to require
men to furnish their own tools. This
many of them are unable to do and
hence not nearly so many men are
working as would otherwise be.
Nevertheless it is mighty busy
place and we'll repays visit.
Already money is being paid out
across the creek at the rate Of hun
dreds of dollars a day in wages, and
a beginning is only made. lola
should be renamed Fortunate.
Since the above was written
the purchase of the Ledford 100
acres, lying south of the Brewster
tract, part on each side of the rail-
road, by the Company has solved the
switch problem, as the line will now
be run in from the south, entirely on
the company's own land. A gang of
surveyors is at work now surveying
the proposed route and the switch will
be put In at once. The amount paid
for the land is not matter of publIci-
ty, but guess of $40 or $75 an acre
would probably be not far wrong.

AN ECCENTRIC MAN.
(TO be continued.)

The progressive corporation OF Bath
has Just placed commemorative
tablet upon the house in Lansdown
crescent once occupied by William
Beckford, one of the strangest charae-
ters who ever spent his declining years
in the renowned English city OF the
hot springs. His tomb and monument
are such conspicuous objects on the
heights Of Lansdown and the most
casual visitor can hardly avoid becom-
ing familiar with some OF the eccen-
tricities of this great dilettante.
Bedford, who is best known as the
author of the Arabian tale "Vathek"
written in one sitting of three days
and two nights), claimed descent from
the Saxon kings. He inherited vast
wealth and expended 1t in the most
lavish fashion, building a wonderful
house at Fonthill, in Wiltshire, which
cost over a million. Presently the evil
days came-vast sums lost in Jamaica
through depreciation in the value OF
his estates and lawsuits resulting
therefrom led Beckford to sell Fonthill
at ridiculous price and to retire to
Bath broken in health and fortune.
Here he spent the rest of his days
recluse, shut up with his books and
fancles. One commodious house would
not suffice to hold his treasures. 80
on either side were purchased, one be-
ing connected with a covered way on
the second floor, which can still be
seen. His passion for building unas-
suaged, Beckford erected great tower
on the hill q mile above his house
wherein to study, and when he died his
remains were laid above the ground at
the foot in a granite sarcophagus
which was prepared during his life
time. The property was then sold for
a tea garden, but his daughter, the
duchess OF Hamilton, repurchased 1t
and to save it from dissertation gave 1t
to the rector of Walcot as cemetery.
The tower has just been repaired and
II is once more possible to enjoy the
wonderful view from the summit,
which is $50 feet above sea level.

The woman looked at the Gladstone,

"Shall l give it to Austin, or take 1t

My eyes were fixed upon Miss Brans-

still drawn up in dignified silence, and
her face turned away, as II she had no
more to do with the subject.

Nona's confidante and assistant. Mona

in Vienna. 1t will cost 100000 gulden,
