= After our friend the merchant had
passed out, two. persons holding city
positions entered, and to our surprise
and disgust called for, the same brand
as the merchant, Here are two men
who are receiving their living from the
people of this city. Maybe If they lost
their position they would starve To
death. It would be expected that they,
above all others, would be encour-
ayers of home industries, that they
would be loyal to. this city, especially
when there are just as good cigars, IT
not better, made in Duluth as any that
are shipped in here. e
To show what foolish ideas some peo-s
pie have about smoking home made
cigars. A certain well known dealer
whose customers are prejudtced against
anything home made, who claim that
they can get nothing to suit them,
had local firm put up private brand
for this dealers exclusive use. The
cigars are cleaf Havana, and there Is.
nothing on the box to designate where
the cigars are made. The dealer re-
lates the following instance. One OF
his customers had invited friend to-
have a cigar with him. The customer
called for clear Havana, zone OF the
private brands he said. He passed
it son to his friend, who refused. say-s

Business Men Who Say That There Is No

BRING BUSINESS PROSPERITY
An Hour IN Cigar Store, Showing How,
More Business Might Be Done
If We Were Loyal.

We stood in cigar store for nearly
an hour the other day, and, as we had
nothing particular to do, we watched
the various customers pick the cigars
much about the brands that they
smoked as we did the places where
they were made.
The first who entered the store was a
mechanic on his way from lunch to
work. He called for home made
cigar, and, of course, it had the union
label, for there are no cigars made in
Duluth without the label. He lit it,
and passed out, as if he enjoyed it.
/ Next came merchant. His choice
was a clear Havana: The cigar dealer
reached into box, for he seemed to
know the merchants choice without
any questioning. This cigar was made
in New: York city. possibly it was a
product of one of that city's unsani-
ltary tenement houses: There was
nothing on the box to say that it was
not. If the cigar makers union label
had been there we would have known
that it was not. AS the merchant lit
his: cigar with apparent satisfaction, 4
few thoughts stole through our mind.
Here is a man neat and we'll dressed

She Said, For safe Keeping.
SPARTANBURG, S. O., Oct. 12.-Mrs.
Rita Kelly, 35 years of age, was ar
rested at Beaumont Mills yesterday,
charged with taking from her father,
John G. Muller of Glenn Springs, $500
in cash and 5000 in notes.
Then, too, a will was missing from its
hiding place.
The elder Muller in counting his cash
at night, a custom with him for years,
found the coin gone. The daughter had
been at her fathers home and for some
reason she was suspected by him. A
runner was sent TO Spartanburg and
Sergeant West soon located Mrs. Kelly.
In the mattress on bed in Mrs. Kel.
ly's apartments was found a roll con-
tanning $500 of the money, while the
woman had with her some $50. The
two notes, amounting to 5000, and the
will were found. The will had been
mutilated, the signatures being Gu: off.
Mrs. Kelly made no denial of the pos
session of the money and the will, on
the contrary she declared she had taken
the property for safe keeping, as she
thought the old man was irresponsible.
The money was deposited here and
the daughter IN no way mOlested after
the deDOSit.
