TOBACCO GROWERS. ATTENTION
100 Plants Weigh 33 Pounds.

This is to certify, that we the under
signed packers and dealears of tobacco,
bear witness to the correctness of the
following statements, concerning THE
MAMMOTH SPANISH TOBACCO,
which we all personally examined.
1t is correct in style throughout all
the grades, maintaining the correct
width in proportion to its length, being
we'll rounded and perfect in shape, The
width being fully and over one-half as
wide as the length.
That, unlike tobacco of extra large
growth, it is not coarse, but very thin.
silky, tough and elastic, of smooth clear
texture, and devoid of coarse grain.
From the abundance of tobacco ICON
sidering the area upon which it was
grown) it demonstrates the fact that
there are more leaves to the plant, than
Oh the types now cultivated.
Concerning uniformity and evenness
of leaf, there are 260 pounds of tobacco
from % to % inches long, and about 80
pounds from Is to % inches long from
$40 pounds. The shorter grades being
more than consumed for tying material.
The grades are as follows; Is pounds
Is to 20 inches; 81 pounds, 20 to %
inches; IS pounds, % to "a inches; 103
pounds, "a to rs inches, and y pounds
from 26 to % inches In all $40 pounds.
On the whole, it is an EXTRA LARGE,
FINE, SILKY, STYLISH and EXTRA
LEAFY TOBACCO, which we cheer
fully recommend to tobacco growers.

Worse Than His OWN.

A gentleman who owns one Of the
finest estates in the north Of Ireland,
while in his gardens one morning, no.
ticed one Of the laborers very badly
clad and asked him:
'Have you no better clothes than
those, Mat?'
mo, in troth, yer honor, worse luck, -
replied Mat.
"Well, call at the house this evening
on your way home" said the gentle
man. 'I'll leave an old suit Of mine
with the butler for you"
A few days later, when showing a
party of visitors through the gardens,
he was much annoyed to see Mat look
ing, if possible. more a scarecrow than
ever.
"Why are you still wearing those old
clothes, Mat?" he asked.
"Sure yer honor, they're the best l
have" replied Mat.
"But did you not get the suit I left
for you the other day." asked the gen
tleman.
Indeed, an l did, thank yer honor
kindly" replied Mat; 'but, sure, had
to lave them at home to be mended."-

The Story of a Picture.

Benjamin Vests picture Of the
death of Nelson" is closely connected
with an anecdOte of the great sailor.
Just before he went to sea for the last
time he was present at dinner, dur
ing which he sat between the artist
and Sir William Hamilton. Nelson was
expressing to Hamilton his regret that
he had not. in his youth. acquired some
taste for art and some discrimination
in judging it. But" said he, turning
to West. there is one picture whose
power | do feel. | never pass shop
where your Death Of Wolfe is in the
window without being stopped by it,
West made some gracious answer to
the compliment. and Nelson went on.
''Why have you painted no more like
ity'
Because, my lord" West replied,
"there are no more subjects"
"Ah," said the sailor, Il didn't think
Of that"
"But. my lord" continued West, Il
am afraid your intrepidity will yet
furnish me with another such scene,
and if it should I shall certainly avail
myself of it,
evil you?" said Nelson-"will you,
Mr. West? Then l hope l shall die in
the next battle"
A few days later he sailed, his
strangely expressed aspiration was re-
allied, and the scene lives upon can
vas.

How the Artist Was Called.

When Henry S. Watson, the illustrat-
or landed at Naples. he did not know
much about European travel. He had
to make some sketches in the villages
about Naples, and his experiences have
filed him with wonder enough for a
lifetime. His deft pencil helped him a
bit. At one little village inn he tried
to get it through the landlords head
that he was to be called early in the
morning. He couldn't make himself
understood. At last he drew picture
of himself lying in bed, the sun peep
ing through the window, the clock at
the hour of 6 and the chambermaid
knocking at the door. Then it was
quite plain, and they woke him on the
tick.-Saturday Evening Post.

oldest son of Mr. and Mrs Use Hake who

Thursday afternoon. The boy in COM
pany with companion started to slide
down hill and while running from the
house to the hill slipped at the we'll near
the house and run one Of the old fash
toned four cornered rusty nails into his
knee, the nail penetrating the joint just
below the knee cap. The boy called to
his companion that he had broken his
leg. He was taken into the house an ex-
animation made and aside from a little
puncture of the skin from which blood
| oozed no other serious damage was
thought done, until few hours later
when doctor was summoned who thor
oughly cleasened the wound. For a
! couple of hours the boy apparently held
his own and from thence on he steadily
grew worse and on Sunday Drs Amund-
son and Bilstad were summoned who
opened the joint which was badly swol-
len and which contained a cup full of
puss. The doctors then had no hopes of
his recovery as his symptoms denoted
tetanus. Everything was done to re-
lieve his suffering but in vain, and he
died suffering in terrible manner. He
was hard working young man about 10
years of age who was doing all he could
to assist his parents in paying for the
