Getting a Free Cigar.

Il would like to buy good quarter

wholesale cigar manufacturers shop.
II want to try one before l buy a box.
as I've been endeavoring for some time
to find cigar to suit me-"
I'm sorry l can't sell you one in
here" replied the proprietor, Its
against the law. | could sell you one
ON the sidewalk, but not In here. How
ever, IL give you one, and if you like
the flavor you can buy them by the
box"
Taking a box of cigars from the
shelf, the man opened it, shook it so
that all the cigars We're visible and
took one from the bottom row. An
other shake sent the rest back to their
original places. The customer put the
cigar in his pocket, remarked that he
would give it fair trial after dinner
and walked out
Did you notice where 1 took the CT
gar from l gave hlm?" said the cigar
man to a friend. II took it from the
bottom row. If he comes back I'll give
him that same box. There are many
men who come in here knowing we dc
not sell cigars singly and walk out
with frev smoke, but when one does
come back we feel justified in giving
him the box from which he took the
sample. New York Post.

And they did.

"Men who can afford to smoke really
good cigars have more fads than other
men you will meet in a days walk"
said a Broadway manufacturer who
makes a good many cigars to order for
his customers. II know men who
throw cigar away the moment the
ashes fall off. They believe the taste
of it Is ruined then. For such CUSTOM
ers make very close rolled cigars.
"Other customers Ike cigar rolled
so light that the ashes float of OF their
own accord. They like the red fire.
Many men will never relght a cigar
after it has gone out. Nothing could
induce them to. Others rellght cigar
five or six times before they discard
1t, Needless to say, they do not get
the best of good cigar.
Il have one customer who has a
special brand of. after dinner cigars
made for him. They cost him 81 each
net and are of medium size. 1t is his
invariable habit to keep the cigar be-
tween his teeth half an hour before
lighting it, His guests may light up
with the coffee, but he never does. He
likes to inhale the fragrance of the
tobacco-to become permeated with 1t,
SO to speak-before he lights up. Then
the cigar lasts him precisely one hour :"

EIectropinted Goods.

"In the production of electroplated
goods for table use, such as spoons
knives and forks and tea sets, the Unit
ed States is ahead of all other coun,
tries" said a manufacturer.
"The chief factor In the American
superiority is in the beauty of the de
signs. There is no style about the
wares of the old countries, while over
here the plated stuff so nearly resem-
bles the solid silver goods In looks and
flneness of workmanship that the aver
age buyer can scarcely tell one from
the other. The best grades of the plat
ed product will last twenty-five TO
thirty years, which is about as long as
one wants to keep an article of house
hold use.

Many of US miss the joys that might
be ours by keeping our eyes fixed on
those of other people. No one can en-
joy his own opportunities for happl-
ness while he is envious Of another's.
We lose a great deal of the joy of liv-
ing by net cheerfully accepting the
small pleasures that come to us every
day instead of longing and wishing for
what belongs to others. We do not
take any pleasure In our own modest
horse and carriage because we long for
the automobile or victoria that some
one else owns. The edge is taken off
the enjoyment Of our own little home
because we are watching the palatIal
residence of our neighbor. We can get
no satisfaction out of a trolley ride
into the country or sail on a river
steamer because some one else can en-
Joy the luxury of his own carriage or
yacht Life has its full measure of
happiness FOR every one of Us If we
would only make up our minds to
make the very most of every opportu-
nifty that comes our way instead of
longing for the things that come our
neighbor's way.-Success.

Women who take upon themselves
the pleasant duty Of decorating their
churches may be Interested in what
the bishop of Worcester has to say on
the subject. Flowers" says the bish-
op, should be used only on festivals
They should never be allowed to re
main after they are withered. They
should be voluntary offerings. There
is no ecclesiastical reason why they
should be put in brazen Jars or tor
tured into unnatural shapes. There
should not be too many of them
Leaves or flowers should not be al
lowed to intrude themselves upon or
near the ledge of the pulpit, so as to IN
terfere with the preachers hands or
books or to hinder the proper use of

DESERT scREEcH OWLS.

Dispossesses Squirrels, Chipmunks.
 and Woodpeckers to Find a Home.
 In Arizona the owls live mostly in holes in the ground and in holes in the giant cactus. It would be contrary to their predator nature to dig their own holes, or yet to build nests of sticks while their were other available nesting places. So every springtime there is a | lot of truble among the desert chip hunks and ground squirrels until the burroWing owls have chosen their holes and settled down for the season. Sanitary the Gila woodpeckers and lgilded f1ickers have no assurance that their holes in the sahuaras are their own until after the screech owls and pygmy owls have been established in comfort Possession is all the law there is in the Arizona cactus and desert, and in case ofa dispute the owls eat little lchipmunks and flickers, anyway.
 | All day in the cool depths of his hole, the screech owl hides from the heat and glare. As the sun sinks he comes out and fits silently toward the river bot tom, where the mice and Kangaroo rats are already beginning to play on the sand patches and hustle through the willows and arrowweed thickets. The quail and smaller birds are hid away Tn the bushes, and around the old logs and stumps great yellow scorpins and beetles are picking their way. At the slightest movement of a blade of grass the screech owl swoops to the ground, land when he is not ranging the flats for mammals he is searching punches of mistletoe and dense mesquite trees for
 the birds which lie hidden there.
 He does not scorri the scorpion and beetles, nor yet grasshoppers and
 smaller bugs At the same time he will tackle a bush rabit or twch pocket gopher from his hole by the head He
 swallows his prey whole, and after dig
 estion has taken place throws up the bones and fur in the shape of pellets
 It is by looking for pellets beneath Iwoodpeckers' holes in cottonwoods and sahuaras that natalists are able to To-
 cate the homes of these owls.-Country Life in America.

 The fourth little thing alluded to by the wise man as wise was the spider. The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces. This repre- scented the wisdom of skill, patience and labor. which bring their sure re- ward. Thus God has created our lives in the ascending scale. and just ts He has given to the little spiders climbers. whereby they may even rise to the high places, so He has given to His little children hands of faith by which they may cling and clasp and climb up to the throne of God to dwell bye and bye in the palace of the King.

1 Children's day was celebrated yester- day at the Grace M. E. church. The church was beautifully decorated with fern plants and an abundance of flow CTS.
 A class of nine children were baptized with water brought form the historic River Jordan by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Smith. The church was filled with people both morning and evening.
 In the morning Fred K. Barnes sup piled the place of the musical director, George Mackay. who lies seriously in jured at his fathers home The pas tor preached to the children from the text, There be four things which are little upon the earth. but they are ex- iceeding wise"
 l MT. Smith said in brief: The world has made great progress in three thou sand years, and had Solomon lived in our age he might have said there be millions of things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise. Among the four little things spoken of as wise in Solomon's day was: First, the ant: the ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer. The preacher thought the wise man of the East referred to the Iwhite ants of the orient that lay aside their stores of food In large mounds, This, he said meant forecast, and the summer spoken of opportunity. There is one thing for which all ought to find time, and that it to prepare for the future
 The second little thing spoken of as wise was the cony The comics are but a little feeble folk, yet they make theA homes in the rocks. These little crea- lures, though weak and almost con Itemptible in themselves. show their
 wisdom by seeking safety in g. rock habitation or in rock home. Thus the children of God have provided foi them a spiritual home which is built lupon the Rock of Ages, and in time oi alarm they can sing, "The Lord is my
 rock, and my fortress, and my surt
 abiding place."
 The third little thing mentioned by
 the wise man was the locust. Tht Ilocusts have no kings, yet they go fortl all of them by bands. These little in sects go forth in companies, battalions regiments, armies, with one will ant lone purpose-a magnificent republic One spirit rules the mighty hosts. Tn Bedouin ascribes to these little crea lures the terror and power of tn strongest beasts of the earth.
