HIS CHRISTMAS PIPE.
q Woman's soIicftude and a Tobacco
Dealers Perfidy.

The bachelor had been invited to
Christmas dinner. His friend and his
friends pretty wife were just wing
with each other in their efforts 10 dis
pei from his soul the gloom supposed
to come to the man without home
upon this day above all others. They
had wined him and dined him. and
now that they were seated in the IL
brary facing the burning logs in the
fireplace the hostess brought out the
bachelors Christmas present. 1t was
a brierwood pipe. with beautiful
curved mouthpiece as transparent as
glass.
"Now, bought this myself" she ex-
planned sweetly, land | told the pipe
man that if you didn't like it after
smoking it ! was going to make HIM
exchange it. You must try it now"
This the bachelor proceeded to do,
thanking his hostess for her solicitude
in picking out the pipe herself.
Il think the mouthpieCe is such
pretty, clear amber" she went on rs
she saw her guest stick it between his
teeth and begin pulling away.
"Yes, it's remarkably pretty" he as
scented, but there was just a tinge of
doubt in his tone
The bachelor sat in his chair, with
the mouthpiece between his teeth and
two fingers of his left hand claSped
about the stem, smoking very peace
fully when there was sudden blind
ing flash before his eyes fierce pain
at the tip of his tongue and a cloud of
camphor smelling smoke rising to the
ceiling. The bowl of the pipe fell to
the floor and the burning tobacco was
spilled upon the carpet. The mouth
piece had vanished. The hostess
screamed, the two men sprang to their
feet.
what happenedT cried the woman
i'll alarm.
ooh, nothing" explained her hus-
band, except that your beautiful am
Der mouthpiece is celluloid and has
burned up"
Then he stamped out the burning
tobacco and gazed ruefully at the big
hole in the carpet
ooh" exclaimed the hostess to the
bachelor as bushes came to her cheeks
and tears to her eyes, what can say?
That horrid pipe man, He promised
so faithfully that he wouldn't swindle
me-"
The bachelor didn't know quite what
to say himself. He had a hole in the
end of his tongue, and this didn't help
him any in choosing the right words,
but he managed to stutter that he was
sure it wasn't her fault and that all
pipe men were born villains.
Remember, my dear" remarked the
husband, with reminiscent smile,
that the good Lord never intended
women to be good judges of cigars,
tobacco or pipes" York Sun.

1t seems that Paley resumed his

skins off and hung them in the shed.
"'Pll take 'em down to Jepthy Wig

Bart went out to get the pelts next
morning. They were gone! So was
Old Beelzebub. The amazing bear had
stolen the sheep pelts and had made
tracks for the woods. Bart and his
boys started to find the trail.

CHEAP INSURANCE..
Some Reasons For Asserting That
the Best Is the Cheapest.

If the saying, THE best is the cheap
est, applies to anything, it does to in
surance. Insurance that docs not in
sure" is far worse than no insurance at
all. In the case of provision against
death the possession of a policy believed
to be sound, but in reality of doubtful
value, may deter the holder from insur-
ing in reliable company, end the actual
conditions may not be discovered until
advanced age precludes the taking out Of
new insurance.
AS regards fire insurance, a worthless
policy may lessen the amounts paid by
reliable companies. If merchant holds
three policies, each for $4,000. and one of
these proves worthless, the other two
companies involved will nevertheless in.
clude that policy in the general average,
reducing their own responsibility accord
ingly. The actual value of the policy is
none of their business; it's existence is all
that they have to reckon with.
We note in our news columns the case
of manufacturer who took out policies
in companies located outside of the state.
He was burned out and now cannot col.
lect cent of insurance because the laws
give the insurance companies whose pol
icies he held no authority to transact
business in the state except when certain
conditions are complied with The en-
ployment of reliable broker would have
saved not only the fire loss, but the pre-
miums which this man had been paying.
But he was looking for cheap" insur-
ance, and he got it.
Another point. Do not get tired of pay
ing for insurance and let your policies
run out. We have noted number of
store fires recently in various parts of the
country where there was a wide dis
crepancy between the loss and the insur-
ance. Such penny wise, pound foolish,
policy is apt to mean absolute ruin to the
business man unless he is possessed Of
large means outside of his business. Fur
thermore, his credit would be seriously
injured should his unprotected condition
become known in the market where he
buys his goods.-Dry Goods Economist.
