the crimson fruit which is always
an Indispensable adjunct Of the
Thanksgiving dinner viii cease to be
the prime ingredients of the annual
Thanksgiving feast.
Eastern market reports say that
for the last 10 years fewer and fewer
turkeys and less cranberrics have
been used on THANKSGIVING day. They
state that the tendency is 20 use
chickens. ducks and other poultry on
this holiday and that this fall there
viii be but a small demand for tur-
keys.
The same is said to be true of
cranberries. and although the crop is
rUmored TO be light on account of
heavy frosts in the bog districts
where the crimson fruit is grown, nev-
errheIcss the dealers express no fear
Of d shortage. as they say the demand
is not heavy enough 10 cause any
dread.

say that these two great Thanksgiving

First Stogies Made in Pennsylvania.
"The first stogic was made by hand
in the wilds of Pennsylvania" said
tobacco man Of Allegheny City.
The story which they tell once in
awhile in West Virginia and which
must be true Is that the long chcroOts
derived their name from the town Of
Concstoga, Pa. An Cmigrant train Of
wagons was finding its way across the
state. and supply Of tobacco was
found at COncstoga.
The emiGrants got "A lot Of II, but

not smoke unless they made pipes
themselves. Necessity is the mother
Of invention. You may have heard
that remark before. Anyhow one Of
the men rolled Il leaf OF the tobacco In
his hand and wrapped IL with another
leaf That was the first stOgic. 9th
ers followed his example, and they all
called the article that they made n
'stOga' in honol Of the town at which
the tobacco was secured. That is said
to be the true story Of how the name

Justice Brewers Mistake.


In his address as presiding of
ficer of the universal congress Of
lawyers and jurisrs, in session
here at the exposition. Justice
David J. Brewer, of the United STAGES
supreme court, said: There are TO be
seen 20 acres of Philippine life and
not a square rod of the constitution
Justice Brewer is mistaken. The
eminent jurist does violence to the rep
utation of the legal fraternity for &C
curacy of statement. There are A
acres in the Philippines reservation. or
encampment. constituting the most in
teresting and instructive eXpOsitiOns
of the industrial and educational pro-
gress of a race ever brought together
by any nation.
And Justice Brewer is also in err
rOr when he says mot a square rod of
the constitution" is TO be seen. Copies
of the cOnStitutiOn-nOt - square rod,
but all of it-may be seen in the palace
of education and in the United States
government building on the hill. More
over, copy OF that precious document
may be seen in the Office of Judge Fer
riS, general counsel for the exposition,
here in the administration building.

Coffee and Tobacco
Famine On Other Side

A coffee and tobacco famine has
struck Koolau, on the other side Of
this island. Most of the Chinese coun-
try stores are turning away applicants
for the stimpulating drug and soothing
smoke. These small dealers have run
out OF stock and are, owing to alleged
hard times and slow paying custom
ers, neglecting to renew supplies FROM
the wholesale houses. Coffee and to-
bacco are not the only necessities which
cannot be secured: condensed milk is
scarce for the same reason. One store
was found, usually well supplied, where
nothing was for sale but timed salmon.
corned beef. candles, calico and axle
grease. II was even out of soap.

the country than in the city have risen
