CIRCUS LEMONADE.

waiting in the menagerie tent of the hig

afternoon. Chance placed him where he
could sec the lemonade man at work,

After rerson had drunk of the
"healthful lemonade" the dealer in the
beverage filled up the tumbler from n
l,ail under the counter. leaving the same
pieces Of lemon and ice in the glass. In
the operation he inserted all of his
fingers in the contents of the
pail. When a small boy brought in a
fresh pail Of the "hcalthful" drink, the
man stuck his dirty hand way to the
bottom of the liquid and stirred it up.
He then drank Il part Of n glass and
poured the remainder back in the pail.
Almost as fast as he filled and refillcd
the glasses. Ole men and children,
matrons and maidens and boys drank up
the handstirrcd beverage paying their
nickel gladly for something cool and wet

allow any weary women to sit behind

FROM STAMPED PACKAGES.
The Only Legal Place from Which
Cigars Can He Sold.

The law providing that tobacco, SNUFF
cigars and cigarettes must not be exposed
for sale outside Of stamped packages has
never been rgidly enforced and violations
have been so frequent as to become ha b.
itual and many are not aware that there
is such law. The government has de
cided to enforce the law and collectors
of internal revenue have been notified to
that effect.
The order in the matter reads in part
as follows: owing to the existing mis-
understanding on the part of dealers and
manufacturers of tobacco as to the re
quirements Of the law immediate steps
will not be taken to strictly enforce tho
same but an opportunity will he Of
fered such dealers to remedy the existing
eNil Such manufactured stock found on
the market exposed for sale will he seized
after November and sold pursuant to
law.
