WHEN CHILDREN SMOKED
They Were Sent to School with Pipes In
Their Satchels.

Their Satchels.
Every one has read that Hawkins in
troduced tobacco into England and that
King James inveighed against it. Eliz-
abeth liked to sit on low stool and
watch Sir Walter Raleigh putting
away. Once she bet him that he could
not tell the weight Of the smoke in
his pipe, but the philosopher won. In
Anne's reign almost every one smoked.
In Charles lis reig9 children were
sent to school with their pipes in their
satchels, and the schoolmaster called
a halt in their studies while they
smoked" In 1902 Jorevin spent an
evening with his brother at Cara
WAYS coffee house, Leeds, and writes:
"I was surprised to see his sickly child
of three years old fill his pipe Of to-
bacco and smoke 1t as audfarandly as
A man of threescore; after that a sec
ond and third pipe without the least
concern. as 1t Is said to have done
about a year ago." There were about
40 coffee houses in London, besides
five chocolate houses, In Anne's time.
Smoking was general in them, and in
toxicants could be also obtained, as
wei, as coffee. Bishop Trelawney was

Major Newton Walker, one of the
oldest pioneer citizens of Illinois, died
at his home in Lewiston the other day
at the advanced age of SO years. When
Major Wallace emigrated westward
from Charlottesville. Va, where he
was born in 1903, there were compare
lively few signs of civilization west
of the Mississippi river. Chicago was
then a mere village, with only hand
full of inhabitants, while Illinois was
stepped in the gloomy solitudes OF the
virgin wilderness. Major Walker re-
called many notable persons and
events connected with the early dec
AIDES of the present century on this
side of the water. He could distinct
ly remember Thomas Jefferson. he
saw that patriot many times and heard
him speak on several occasions. He
was one of the military escort that
conducted Lafayette across the Old Do
minion. In 1882 Major Walker paid

tells them amusing stories to make
them laugh while her own heart Is
heavy with grief, and it is she who
teaches Jeanne the alphabet in a big
colored picture book, who helps Pierre
with his lessons, and who corrects the
exercises written in his sadly blotted
and besmeared copybook. One day
long ago their father did not come
home at night, and on seeing the va
cant place at the table Pierre began to
cry; then his mother, whose eyes were
very sad, kissed him with extraordi-

Major Walker went to the Illinois leg

INTO a BoER AMBUSH.
Within 20 Miles of BIoemfOnteIn the
BurgherH Capture Lot of GUS
aud Many aIeu.


London, April 2.-Gen. Buffers anx-
ious inquiry whether British officers
will ever learn the value of scouting
comes back with enforced emphasis
to the British public to-day on re-
ceipt of tidings that a convoy with
guns has walked deliberately into a
Boer ambush within about 20 miles
of BIoemfontein. Lord Roberts own
report of the affair, if yet received
by the war office, has not been pub
ished and no account of the affair
is available to the public except the
dispatch from Bushman kop. Moth
ing can be said, therefore, regarding
the exact extent of the British mis-
fortune. Evidently Col. Broadwood
thought it necessary to retreat in
haste from Thaba N'Chu, as he
marched all through Friday night,
apparently followed by considerable
force of the enemy. The convoy and
guns had to pass through a deep
spruit which the Beers had occupied.
Six to IL guns, comprising two bat
teries, all the wagons and, it is feared,
many men fell into the hands of the
Beers, whose daring, displayed so
near Bloemfontein, shows that they
are rapidly recovering heart after
their recent reverses.

et Hastings, Neb.

Hastings, Neb., March 31.-Viola
Horlocker was acquitted Friday of the
charge of having attempted to muir
der Mrs. Charles F. Morey by sending
her poisoned candy. The jury was
instructed at quarter of II o'clock
and was out only an hour. 1t was
charged that Miss Horlocker had been
infatuated with Mr.. Morey, a lawyer
whose stenographer she was, and that
she had tried to poison his wife to
get her out of the way. On April 10
Miss Horlocker was seen going into
the Lincoln flats, where Mrs. Morey
had studio. When Mrs Morey re-
turned from dinner she found a box
of candy on the. floor near her door.
She ate of it, as did also Mrs. Gaslin,
caller, and both were taken violently
i'll. They recovered, however, and an
examination showed the candy con-
tanned arsenic.

SWEETS FOR SOLDIERS.
War Departmen Recently Shipped so
Tons of 1t, Including Lots of Candy,
to the Philippines.

Washington, April There is
demand for an increase of the sugar
ration to the soldiers in the Philip
pinees, and the commissary depart
ment is preparing to meet it. The al
lowance now is Is pounds to 100
rations, and this will probably be in
creased to 20 pounds. The depart
ment has just made shipment of so
tons of such sweets as are in demand
there by the soldiers, including a large
order of the best candy, intermixed
with a good allowance of chocolates.
Fhis order will be followed by a larger
one, and chocolates will again hold
first place These CONNECTIONS are of
course not a part of the army ration,
but are for purchase by the officers
and soldiers.
