Advertising Smoking.

Agitators against the use of tobacco,
and the Anti-Cigarrette league, ought
to labor long and earnestly with the
gentlemen who plan the fascinating
advertisements modern clothiers and
furnishers use so effectively. Some
how or other these artists never rep
resent well-dressed, well-groomed
young man at work. Whoever saw a
faultlessly attired youth hard at work
in one Of these advertisements? The
attitudes and positions Of business
hours do not lend themselves to set
off the lines of the latest thing in coats
and Of the newest thing out in the
way Of fashionable trousers.
From the standpoint Of the gentle
men who illustrate these advertise
ments, life is simply a round Of leis-
ure and pleasure. That these popular
artists whose work is seen every day
by multitudes thus glorify the life of
ease, would not trouble us so much if
they did not also glorify the petty vice
Of smoking. If a man wishes to ad-
vertise new hat, he puts it on the
head Of a man who has large-sized
cigar or a comfortable pipe in his
mouth. If he wishes to advertise a
coat or suit or a shirt, the chances are
that the youth who Is represented as
wearing these admirable creations will
be depicted as enjoying himself with a
cigar or pipe.
Thus the boys and young men whose
ideas of proper apparel are largely
Influenced by the advertisements they
read, come to associate a pipe or cigar
with fashionable clothes. 1t seems tc
them that a suit Of the very latest
fashion and cloth would be incomplete
worn by one who was not able to pose
with pipe or cigar.

THE MOUNTAINS

THE MOUNTAINS.
Death holds eternal league about their
peaks
And sets his crafty ambush here and
&" there,
BY seeming harmless ways that steeply
fare
Past gorge and meadow and the icy creeks.
Buttnot the fatal chance and fear alone
Defends their silence in the virgin air,
y Or these would yield to him who dared
to dare,
Their timeless might by courage over
thrown.
Mortality doth look on death, and smile,
But to the peaks where hope and
thought may leap,
The aching feet a finty way must keep,
Step after step, and mile on bitter mile
And the first crest that costs a weary
while
Is but one step toward where the summits
sleep. s.

would have nothing to say to him, If
he did have a big river bottom farm,
to say nothing of money in two banks
and expectations from his tough old
grandfather.
Jack also had a farm-upland, rich
and in good heart-but there was his
mother to look out for, and his blind
sister. He could never think of put
ting them off by themselves, and he
knew it was asking a lot of a hand
some and imperious girl to live in the
house with them and accommodate her
ways to theirs. So, though he had an
understanding with Ellie, there was
no set engagement. He had let her
know how he found himself held and

study out the problem. She had known
that he loved her yer since she was
out of short frocks.

Many OF the Illinois orchardists do
not approve Of dust spraying for fun
gous troubles. Some time ago one of
the speakers before the State Horticul-
tural society voiced the objection thus;
II think that the wise man. Ii he hap
pens to be a fruit grower. will keep
away from the dust spray until the
experiment station has settled the
question, and If there are any who
have lingering ideas in their minds
that there are some merits In the dust
spray l would advise them to wait
awhile until the thing has been settled
and not vast any money on mate
rails n spraying machines, but to
stick to the thing that we know is
good, and when these other things are
. success we can invest In them"

growers that In the compromising Of
