GREAT MEN ARE SMOKERS.
Indulgence in the Weed Enjoyed by
the High and Low Alike.
From Modern Society

From Modern Society.
The Prince of Wales has never attempted
to hide the fact that he enjoys his "whiff."
Once certain well-known society lady, a
violent anti-smoking- nuisance, said to his
royal highness: "Sir, as the leading gentle
man in England, do you not think that you
ought not only to refrain from smoking
yourself, but encourage others to give up
smoking?' Madam" frigidly and emphat-
ically said the prince, many years ago I
commenced smoking. have smoked ever
since. enjoy smoking. In all probability,
madam. shall keep on smoking as persist
emily as Charley's aunt keeps on run
ming"
The Duke of Connaught on being asked
by an American beauty whether he ap-
proved Of smoking. answered: "Yes, indeed
There are two things which I trust I shall
never lose-my honor and my tobacco
pCuch!'
When the Khedive of Egypt visited Eng
land some months ago he suffered, 1t will
be remembered, from some throat trouble
which kept him on his yacht for a few
days. After a careful examination Sir
Douglas Powell, the great throat specialist,
said: Il believe your highness does not
smoke In any shape or form? You are
right, sir I do not smoke. Well indeed do
1 remember the first and only time I was
ever persuaded to try pipe. After the ex-
pertinent I reclined in most undignifed
position in a certain room In my palace,
making most unkingly gestures and grim
aces. You English people are. I believe,
great smokers. are you not? All! well. you
in England never do anything in half
hearted manner"
During some recent internal disturbances
in Turkey the sultan was very much wor-
ried. One day he sorrowfully said to his
leading physician: "Ah. how awful are my
troubles, to be sure! Life would be quite
intolerable if it were not for my cigarettes
and my wivesr'
The Duke Of York Is. as every one knows,
a great cigarette smoker He once said to
the young Czar of Russia: "A short time
ago had an idea that cigarettes were bad
for me, so I determined to limit myself to
five day. The first day I was successful.
The second day I smoked all five before
lunch and felt very miserable during the
rest Of the day. The third day I smoked
the five judiciously, but still felt great
venting The fourth day couldn't stand
it any longer, and so smoked fifteen cigar
cites to make up for my self-denial during
the other days"
A short time ago the queen regent OF
Spain was telling her son. the young king,
how very poor his country was becoming
and what need there would be Of reform
and economy in many respects. Mother"
said the young monarch, II have quite
made up my mind that we must all give
up something for the sake Of my country
some luxury. I, for my part, have deter
mined to give up smoking.

Garlic for Consumption.

If DIR. Giulio Cavazzani, an Italian physi-
clan. is to be believed, garlic is a specific
for tuberculosis although many would pre-
fer to keep the disease rather than to take
the remedy. The doctor has been expert
menting in the hospitals Of Venice and Is
convinced that garlic is a most valuable
therapeutic agent in cases Of phthisis. 1t
has long been known to sailors who have
traded to the malarial coasts Of West Afrt-
ca that garlic. used in liberal quantities,
was a preventive OF coast fever. Garlic is a
most powerful agent for the cleansing OF
the almentary canal, which may account
for some of its medicinal virtues. DR.. Cay
azzanf gave to his patients garlic cut into
small pieces and dried He had to admin

Fashions for Boys.

TON HHrppr 5 Bazar, =
For really little boys nothing is better
than the sailor or Russian blouse suits.
They rise superior to the flight of time,
with it's" ever changing fashions In clothes
for men, women and girls. The small boy
in his MILDLY suit, with the long, faring
trousers or knee breeches, is always In
fashion, and always attractive to look at.
These Russian suits have been a fad for
months past, and are certainly picturesque
for the small boy from three to eight years
Of age They will still be worn this next
summer. They, with the MILDLY suits
well, are very practical for mothers whO
from choice because of living far from
shopping facilities, make their childrens
clothes themselves. They are easily made
and easily laundered-two great advan-
tages in boys clothing.

EDITOR IN TROUBLE

Squire Douglas, through kind
ness of heart gave our second boy
a nice buck saw, for which at the
time we felt grateful, but we
don't feel that way now. Un-
wisely and unthoughtedly we
gave the boys a lesson or two how
to operate it and allowed Mrs.
Editor to catch us. Our per-
formance with a buck-saw was
so satisfactory to her that-well
we have our dinner brought to
us, and work at the office until
dark.-Randolph Hera Id.

PATRONIZE HOME.

An exchange says some very
pertinent things in the following:
"This is the season Of the year
when the country is flooded with
catalogues from department stores
in the larger cities, offering to
sell goods cheaper than home
merchants can furnish them. 1t
may be true that on some articles
their prices are less than ours
ask for them, but have you taken
into consideration the fact that
you have to pay express, besides
running the risk of getting some
thing "just as good" because
"we are just out of the article Or
dered?" Then another argument
against it is this: The mail or
der man pays no taxes whereby
our schools, roads or public insti-
tutions are kept up; our home
merchants do. The department
store does not contribute one cert
toward the building or mainten-
ance of our churches; our home
merchants do. Why doyou send
your money to a firm a thousand
miles away? You never see it
again. When you patronize your
home merchant he scatters it out
in his home territory, every cent
except that which is absolutely
needed to renew his stock.
i'll pve the catalogue men alone
ollar spend your money with the
atari who have furnished you with

where he has accepted position
under Capt. Ed Ball Mr.. Sloggett
has resided in Soudan since the first

million range who wish him success
in his new location,
In this issue will be found an an
nouncement by Berglund Bros, which
will be worth reading. They are
located opposite the Vail hotel in the
building occupied by the Ely Cash
Grocery company and carry an i'm
mense stock of everything appre-
tanning to a first-class general mer-
chandise establishment.
Ii is reported that the Duluth &
Iron Range road will soon build a
large brick round house in Ely to ac-
comodate the engines while on their
round trips next summer. This is
necessary considering the ore trains
will run right through from Ely to
Two Harbors, thus abolishing the
short run from here to the Junction.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. G, Barrett and
children returned to their home at
Hibbing Monday after a few days
visit with Mrs. Barrett's brothers in
this city. Mr.. Barrett formerly was a
resident here having run the Oliver
house in company with Thos. Christie
in 1890 and .'9l. He has not been in
Ely for nine years and was very much
pleased with the present appearance
of the city.
A business change was perfected
Tuesday by which Thos, Bartlett of
the Vail Hotel, also assumed charge
of theExchange having purchased the
same from Mr.. Glode. The many
friends of Mr.. Bartlett, wish him sue
cess in his new venture. Mr.. and
Mrs. Glode have been at the Exchange
for the past six years and during that
time have made many warm friends
who will miss them from the hotel
business.
VIM. Bateman died at the Shipman
Hospital Tuesday morning. The re-
mains were inferred at Tower Thurs
day, many from this city attending.
The Tower lodge of Odd Fellows had
charge of the funeral. Mr.. Bateman
was well known both here and at
Tower. He leaves step-son and
step-daughter and many friends and
acquaintance to mourn his loss. He
was man of about SO years of age.
His wife proceeded him in death
several years ago.
