1t is interesting to note the apprO-

was 1904. 900; 1S94-95. $133 900; 1S07-0S,

Supt. J. Nj. Greenwood. Of Kansas
City, has no faith in the ability Of the
boy who smokes cigarettes. He says:
II have yet to find an inveterate cigar
cite smoker who began early In life
that ever completed the sixth years
work in the ward schools. A large ma
jority Of them drop out of school dur
ing the fourth and fifth year. The effect
of cigarette smoking Is positively HARM
full without one single redeeming quail
ity. 1t dwarfs and enfeebles the intel
lectual faculties. 1t units the mind for
any mental exertion or the cOncentra-
ton of attention on any subject to be
studied. Finally it destroys the will
power and the victim loses the ability
of self-determination. The outcome
may be summed up in brief state
ment: 1t Is the most efficient agency
for human wrecks that has yet entered

FOLLY'S FIRE.
BY ELIZABETH c. WALT

The old grandmother was dead and the baby. Angela, had followed her, aS l if the loving creature had beckoned tt 'her from heaven. The winter had beer long; the debts heavy and work scarce l Aurelia, with fcverish eyes and scar | let lips, had sewed and toiled. Law l renee, her husband. was sullen and l discouraged. d1is talks were irksome and to him there seemed little com | fort at home. His trembling hands and shifting glances begged pitifully | for a change, a relief of mind and body.
 In the spring news came to Aurelia of the death of her grandmother s brother. a wealthy bachelor. He had ! willed the grandmother sGme money | and it fell to Aurelia as her heir. | When she heard of it she went to | to Lawrence at the forge and sat down | on the bench near him. It was a long time since she had sat there-almost a year.

 "Oh. know. but you felt the bur- den. I'm going to raise it little. I want you to rent the shop and get away. want you to be free and to see life 'thout so much hardness. That's what I'm going to do."
 'Oh. but it's your money"
 "Im going away, too and see how 1t Is to be free. You go your way and I'll go mine. If you want to come back. maybe you will find me here. patching. sewing, tailoring, mending; then maybe you will not" He glanced up and down the road with a relief on his face that did not escape her scornful eyes.
 'Tt might do us both a deal O good to get away" he said. cautiously. but I did not like to propose it. Since you say so. I'll be of as soon as can find man to take the shop. We can come back in a year"
 "In a year and a day" she said more lightly; If I am not here. will send letter and so must you. Now you are free.
 In a year and a day he was at the forge again. He was stalwart and merry. Life had gone we'll with him. The old postmistress shook her head as she handed him letter.

oNLY FOUR REVOLUTIONARY
 WIDOWS.

Aste nishment is often expressed that any widows of revolutionary soldiers should still be living, but one can see propensity of old men to take unto themselves young wives is taken into consideration. There are. according to . Washington authority. now four rel jets of those who fought for the free dom of the Colonies who are drawing pensions from Uncle Sam. Seven years ago there were thirteen. Soon the last will be gone. These women's lives may be said to join the Eighteenth with the Twentieth Century. to connect the War for Independence with today--a time stretch of 125 years.
 When the first shot was fired at Lex ington and echoed around the world, the husbands of these four women were old enough to bear arms and entered the fight which broke the fetters and freed the American Colonies.
 The value of the services rendered the nation by Revolutionary soldiers did not present itself to the apprecia- tion of the Government until 1886. when the first pensions were paid to them or their widows on that account. At that time the widows only got it for five years and then on condition that their marriage to the soldier had taken place before the last military service was rendered. However. in 1853, the limitation as to time of marriage was removed.
 These four widows of Revolutionary soldiers are: Esther Damon. whose maiden name was Summers who lives In Plymouth Union. Vt. She is ST years old and married Noah Damon when she was 22 and he 76 years old.
 Rebecca Mayo. widow of Steven Mayo. lives in The town of Newburn. Va.

 Burned by Folly's Fire-always the wages of the foolish.''
 The year went by slowly enough. Now Lawrence was not content with the inns and taverns or cottages, but haunted the houses and castles of the rich. He saw wealth and splendor, but he nowhere saw Aurelia-nor any one who was so lovely. The old life came back to him with it's industry its simplicity, its stern duties. He saw 1t in a new. light.
