THEIR OWN MIXTURES.

Smokers Who Have Tobacco Compound.
ed to Suit Their Tastes
The young and inexperienced are
ever ready to smile incredulously at
the seasoned smoker who offers his
tobacco pouch with the remark, TRY
some Of my own mixture" In some
cases my own mixture may really
be only the smokers own" In the
sense that he has paid for few
ounces OF it, but in spite of the copy
righted and much-advertised special
mixtures in these latter days, it seems
from what one Of the most popular
downtown tobacconists says, that the
habit Of buying ones own exclusive
mixture" is not 80 extinct az might
be supposed, says the New York Trib-
une. "Here is list Of the special
mixtures we make" says this authors
ty. taking from a corner large card.
YOU see, there are about fifty Of them
on this card. Each mixture Is noted
down, all the ingredients and the pro-
portions in which they are to be used.
and over each one is the name OF tho
customer who first ordered it. The
way of it is that smoker makes his
experiments on different combinations
of tobacco until he hits upon some
thing which just suits him. Some
times he buys the ingredients and
mixes them himself, but people have
so much to do nowadays that more
often they tell us what they want and
we do the mixing. 1t takes weeks
sometimes for customer to get to
just the thing he is aiming at, and.
of course, it is all guesswork In the
meantime. But You might be surprised
to know how long man will go on
using the same mixture, once he has
found out what suits him. This FIRST
name on the list does not belong to
the mixture we have been making the
longest; it comes first because the
list is alphabetically arranged. but
that recipe has been standing here fer
ten years to my knowledge. It was
first ordered by an Englishman; his
name still goes with it and he is still
using it, but scores of other people
also use it who have never heard OF
him. So. you see, it is possible for a
man to be using another mans par
ticular mixture and go on using it for
years, thinking it his own exclusive
mixture all the time. The way some
Of these mixtures gain popularity
shows that it isn't quite exactly true
that there are as many different tastes
as tongues, for sometimes what ex-
actly suits one man seems exactly to
suit hundred others. When we find
mixture becoming widely popular
we sometimes make it up in quantities.
but only rarely. And that, suppose,
is how new mixtures get put on the
market"

proposition to the secretary OF war to
the effect that regiment Of Macabebs

ground and after their own fashion.
Capt. Batson is most enthusiastic In
his commentator Of the Macabebes as
soldiers and he will urge the formation
of cavalry regiment as a result Of his
six months experience at the head Of
the first command Of Filipino soldiers
ever enrolled under the Stars and
Stripes. THE Macabebes are born

ing the lawlessness in the island ct

other Philippine islands than you do,
and not so much, I'm sure. But Luz
zon do know pretty we'll, and a regi-
ment, such as will urge, could follow
the instructors and ladrones wherever
they might 60 and so rapidly as to ef-
feet their complete disorganization.
You see. the Macabebes live of the
country. They therefore require no
wagon train and all they need Is am
munition. They can live on very lit
tie and as for water, there Is really no
need to carry special supply beyond
that which each man carries In his
canteen. Once in a while the men
suffer a little for water, but these Pc
RODS are never OF long duration. The
enemy will, as he is harder pressed,
seek the swamps and bays and into
and through these he must be pursued
There are no troops that we can mus
ter in the United States so we'll adapt
ed to this peculiar warfare as the Ma
cabebes. They know the country and
they hate the Tagalogs, and they are
splendid fighters. The ponies, besides
being good swimmers, are strong

BACKED shoes and sold papers and was
a leader of the gamins. As soon as he
could vote the politicians took him up
and at twenty-three he was able to de-
mand a nomination for the assembly.
He has been in Office ever since, never
tasting defeat. Since 1892 he has been
in the senate. He has maintained his
influence by befriending such of his
constituents as ran afoul of the law,
by organizing relief movements for
the poor, and by giving DRY Dollar"
Sullivan picnics and balls to which the
voters of his district are invited. He
has q host of relatives, all Of whom
