The Disputed Name Of the War.


The Confederate Veterans, in their
annual convention in Louisville, decid-
ed that the war Of 1868 should be
known as the "war between the
states" This is the name that Alexan-
der H. Stephens favored, and it is the
one generally used by the people of the
south in speaking Of that war, the
northern people calling 1t the rebellion.
Strange 1t is that neither name Is cor
rect definition Of the event. All know
that there was no rebellion States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty Of
rebellion. Neither was 1t war be-
tween the states, but actually a war
between two governments made up of
states. Some writer's call it civil war,
vet it was not war between citizens
in their civil capacity, but, as before
said, war between regularly organ
lied governments. There Is, In fact no
concise way of naming the conflict;
hence these misnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one Of
calling it by the years of its beginning
and close-namely, the war of 1S61-5.-

A Dry Smoke.

If you see 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
a "dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment In this to smoker Is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there Is much satisfaction in the
habit. and, besides, there are no bane-
FIJI 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 good way to be-
gin If you desire to stop smoking. Try
1t and see.-New York Herald.
