A DRY Smoke.

If you see q man with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, it is not be-
cause he is looking for light, but be-
cause he is INDUCING in the pleasure Of
"dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to a smoker is not
readily apparent. but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inveterate smokers the dry smoke
is a good habit TO cultivate. 1t enables
many slaves of the weed to decrease
the number of cigars actually smoked
in a day without causing much incon-
venience. OF course an inveterate
smoker would find no pleasure in the
habit at the start, but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
joy his dry smoke almost as much as
the real one. 1t is n good way to be-
gin if you desire to stop smoking. Try
it and see.-New York Herald.

MY boy dug down into his pocket

fered n broken leg for the twentieth

fortunate in this respect. and this lat

ference between an island and n PENN
sula without receiving a satisfactory
answer. came 10 the last boy.
81 can explain it, sir" said the bright
youth. First get two glasses. Fill
one with water and the other with
milk. Then catch a fly and place il
in the glass OF water. That hy Is an
island, because it is entirely surround
ed by water. But now place the fly in
the glass of milk, and it will be a
peninsula, because it is nearly sur
rounded by water"

SPELLBOUND BY RILEY
ELLEN TERRY ON HEARING THE
HOOSIER POET RECITE.

The fact thai James Whitcomb Riley
appears so seldom on the platform adds
still greater interest TO his appearance in
st. Paul next week. He will be heard
Thursday evening of next week at the
Peoples church.
Max ORell, the noted French writer. in
his notes on America. says of Mr. Riley:
II shall never forget the first time l saw
him. He made an impression upon me
such as no other man has done. 1t was at
banquet in New York, given by Angus
tin Daily in honor of Henry Irving and
Ellen Terry, at the close of their last sea-
son in America. There were many elo-
quent speeches and toasts made that
night for the party was a brilliant one.
] do not remember anything about them.
however, as only one interested me; af-
fected me, [ may say. That was a plain.
nomely-looking man. who, on his simple
announcement, arose and recited Dot
Leetle Boy o. Mine I must acknowledges
that [ am rather callous. surprised my
self before that man had finished his
honely representation by finding tears
coursing down my eheei1s. Before he had
concluded there We're tears in the eyes of
all present. Ellen Terry, herself an emo
tlonal queen, was almost overcome. She
left the room that evening with a mem
ory of the event which she has viyidIy
described in England many times since.
That was the first time L ever heard
James Whitcomb Riley, and 1 could then
understand why Americans loved him.

TRIBUTE TO AANLY LIFE
FUNERAL SERMON OVER REMAINS
OF PATRICK SEXTON.

The funeral of Patrick Sexton, killed In
the storm Sunday night, was held yester-
day morning from st. Luke's church. The
edifce was crowded to the doors when
the caslset was carried up the aisle and
placed before the altar. Rev. Father Nc
Nulty celebrated a requiem mass assist
ed by Rev. Martin Egan and Rev Thomas
RehilI
The funeral sermon delivered by Father
McNulty was tribute to the strong and
manly life which had been cut off, and
in expressing this thought he said:
There is no need of a funeral sermon
in this case. The very fact is funeral
sermon in itself, and teaches us, in mere
convincing way than words could 60, that
death is on all sides. When there IS such
a sudden wreckage of human ties and
loves, life is not worth living without the
assurance of a certain life beyond.
The casl1et was covered with numerous
floral offerings, a handsome cross Of white
roses being from Capital lodge, *. of P,
of which the deceased was a member
