MCKINLEY AND HIS CIGAR

Oberlin, Ohio, in the center of the Western Reserve, is probably the most puritanic spot in the United States. A large university gives the town its being, and so jealously have the col lege fathers guarded the morals of their young people that not only is the sale of liquor prohibited in the village limits and for miles around, but to- bacco, whether for smoking, chewing or snuffing, is unknown in the stores, while playing cards are even scarcer than the proverbial hens teeth. Once Mir Monroe, formerly 9 con gressman from the Oberlin district, was the leading republican in the village, and usually entertained political ora tors of the party when they visited ''the city, During MT McKinley's first gubnernatorial campaign Prof Monroe had the pleasure of entertain ing the candidate After dinner on the evening preceding the address MT Me Kinley took a cigar from his pocket and casually remarked:
 You don't mind if I smoke, do you, professor?"
 MT Monroe was aghast. He didn't wish to appear inhospitable, yet he dreaded the almost certain social os- tracism due to following the discovery of q smoker on his piazza, even be he the prospective governor of the state He compromised by conducting MT Nc kinley to the second floor, through a long hall. to back balcony, where, safely screened from public view, the weed was enjoyed. As the smoke curled upward instinctively MT McKin- ley looked around him for cuspidor.
 There isn't such thing in town. said professor Monroe.
 coal bucket was finally impressed into service as q compromise.
 Two days after the Oberlin meeting MT Mckinley spoke at East Liverpool, the great pottery center Chancing to mention the Oberlin experience to his friend, Colonel John N Taylor. the proprietor of one of the big potteries, he said:
 By the way, Taylor. just for joke, send a gross of your China spittoons to Professor Monroe. Don't tell him VA-SAS lhCy S<iuC 4IOIu OI uG Il SuS- pect 1 had a hand in it,
 Following the suggestion, Colonel Taylor crated up an assortment of really beautiful Chinaware and sent it to Oberlin. A year later Mr Mckinley was again Mfr Monroe's guest. Fore warned and consequently forearmed with liberal supply of good Havanas, he again sought the vine-clad balcony. Lighting his cigar, he said, with twinkle in his eye:
 You haven't a cuspidor in town yet, have you Monroe?''
 Its mighty funny,'' was the response, but a few days after yo,1 were here last year some one sent me whole crate of those things. Of course l hadn't any use for them and they were such nice China and so bret lliy painted that my wife used them all Tor hoWer pots. There isn't one about the house not in use. Chicago Inter Ocean.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under the Sun"


All Doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry
ND the mucuous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful acids
used in the nhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many years
made close study and specially of the treat
ment Of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently cures
CATARRH, by removing the cause, stopping
the discharges, and curing all inflammation.
1t is the only remedy known TO science that
actually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as ''SNUFFLES
the GUARANTEED CATARRH CURE
and is sold at the extremely low price of One
Dollar, each package containing internal and

feet use.

TARRH CURE ever made and is now recog
nzed as the only safe and positive cure for
that annoying and disgusting disease. 1t cures
all inflammation quickly and permanently and

The Irish Witness.

The proverbial humor of the Irish is
unanswered by the majesty Of the law.
Such is shown to be the fact by number
of cases cited in an article in the Green Bag
on sWhimsicalities of Irish Witnesses
The writer says:
The Irish witness, especially when be-
longing to the peasant class, is often trial
to the counsel, for not only is he quick at
repartee, but his answers are often confus
ing by their quaintness and whimsicality.
In the Bankruptcy Court | once heard
witness asked the amount of his gross
income.
ssMe gross income, is it Sure an
I'd have ye know that I've no gross in
come I'm fisherman an me income is
all net, was the astonishing reply.
These witnesses are often confused
through the misunderstanding Of words
and phrases, and as a consequence many
laugh cannot be suppressed, even by the
most strict iipstaff.
''He called me out of my name, = said
a witness in case of assault. The justice
trying to preserve the relevancy of the
witness testimony, said
chats civil action, my good wo-
man.
The witness eyes flashed fire as she
looked up at the justice.
''Musha, thin, if ye call that a civil ac
ton, it bad bla-gard ye must be yer
self. -
once heard clerk ask the witness to
take the Bible in his right hand. The
witness replied that he would not do so
and continued to hold out his left. Then
the Court thundered out
'Take the book in your right hand,
sir. -
'Begorra, if ye say so, I'll do it, but
L m not responsible for what do
'What do you mean p
"Musha, it's left handed I am, an me
right can t be depended on at all, at all. y
The witness evidently thought that his
physical incapacity would effect the value
of his testimony if he used the right hand
for holding the book.
In case of assault on wife by her
husband, the counsel for the complainant,
after she had been sworn, asked most in
sinuatingly, and with look at the justice
which was intended to create sympathy
''And now, Mrs 0'Sullivan, will you
kindly tell the Court whether your hus-
band was in the habit of striking you with
IMMUNITY p
The counsel looked again at the justice
while awaiting reply.
with what, sor p
with impunity ?"
''Faix, he did, sor, now an then, but
he struck me more often with his fsht.
The counsel was compelled to smile but
he was equal to the occasion for he imme
diately asked
land that hurt you more
'Indade it did, sor, was the reply.
When the great O. Connell reused the
ire of fshwife by calling her parallello-
gram the world laughed, but only few
months ago woman asked for a warrant
against man for using abusive language
in the street
'What did he say p asked the mag
istrate.
''He whit fornenst the whole world at
the corner of Chapel street an called me,
yis he did, yer wurship, IAN ould excom-
municated gasometer. "

Advice to Sneezers.

Never turn your head when you sneeze,
or you may rupture blood vessel in the
brain and go off as did good Mr.. Samuel
Halper, of Derby. Most persons do their
sneezlng at the dinner table, after vigor-
ously peppering their food. They should
push back their chairs when they feel the
emotion coming on and turn their bodies
away with their heads To twist the head
around is to compress certain muscles,
veins and arteries. | have known two
men to die sneezing. In ancient days it
was not unusual to see healthy citizens
drop dead in the street in the midst of this
involuntary convulsive action. Hence
Jupiter help me- and "God bless you.

Don't Do 1t.

The Lancaster Pa New Era has the
following
Perhaps there is no bad habit at once so
widespread and harmful among the people
at large as that of putting sharpened
lead pencil point into the mouth before
using it. Graphite, the material of which
the marking substance of pencils is mainly
composed, is poison, and the results Of
using it in the way indicated may be Sc
rious. Many cases of skin and mouth
diseases have been traced to this evil hab-
it, which has not the first thing to recon-
mend it and everything to condemn it.
In schools, for example, one pupil may
put into his mouth the pencil that has been
similarly employed by other children. In
fections Of all kinds, we are aware, can be
communicated in this way. In Great
Britain medical inspectors of schools have
issued protest against the indiscriminate
use of pencils by children. IF every child
had its own pencil, and used that exclu-
sively, and allowed no one else to do SO,
lessened, but danger from poisoning would
still remain.
But why should any one, child or adult,
thrust the lead-pencil points into his
mouth 1t is wholly unnecessary 1t
is only habit, and very bad one
at that. 1t does not improve the writ
ing 1t makes it look worse for being
uneven. 1t is, in fact, positively silly.
Get good pencil, keep the point well
dressed, and you have an instrument al
your command from morning until night
and from January until December that
will render you excellent service without
ever coming nearer than foot of the
mouth. There are men who have written
thousands of pages without so much as
thinking of moistening their pencil points,
much less actually doing so. OF all the
habits among intelligent men, there is,
perhaps, none that is at once SO nonsensica
and unnecessary.
