Waiting Unnecessary.

Los Angeles Times: The novelist. Thos.
A. %Janvier, has lived for a number of
years In France. and has collected many
folk tales and anecdotes OF the French
peasantry.
Il heard a story of a physician the 9TH
er day" Mr.. Janvier said recently. HE
was practicing in the village of Province.
and one morning. stopping his gig, he en-
tered into a understanding talk with the
tombstone maker.
While the talk went on the tombstone
man did not cease to work. He had u
chisel in one hand and a mallet in the
other. He was carving upon the tomb the
words, Sacred to the Memory OF =.
and the rest he would leave blank.
This proceeding for some reason
amused the physician. Watching the
~stonecutter. he laughed heartily.
Why said the other, do you laugh?'
because your way of work amuses
me- the physician said. DO you always
cut out upon your tombstones the begin
ming of the obituary and then waltz.
NO said the stonecutter, not always.
When there is some one sick and you are
treating him I keep right on"

Theatre soon in ''The Vinegar Buyer" a new .three-act comedy by Herbert Hall Winslow --.' >
 His managers, the Messrs. Liebler & Co have supplied their new comedy star with a very picturesque production, and an excellent supporting company com prising c. H. Crosby Frank A. Lyon, Ralph Dean, Roy Fairchild, John D. Garrlck, Harry Hanlon. Frank A. How son, Jr.. Helen Salinger. Lottie Alter, Lu- ellie La Verne and June Mathais.
 The first act of "The Vinegar Buyer'' shows the main street of small Indiana town called ''Bascomb's Corners" the second is the exterior and grounds of the village sanitarium, and the third act Is dence in Indianapolis. The story of the comedy concerns the adventures of Joe Miller, which Is taken from James Whit comb Riley's poem of Jap Mi1ler." Joe is sort of jack-at-all trades and does nothing except make fun. He is a hap py-go-lucky fellow who peddles musical attachments for sewing machines and his idea is to make everybody happy. He lands in an Indiana town and soon be- comes one of the mainstays, and his va rious vicissitudes furnish the plot.
 Kendall plays the part of Joe Miller. the man who always has a speech at his command. and besides having himself elected Mayor of the town, he straight ems out some love affairs and does up the villain, his rival candidate. There is so much color in the play that 1t falls to the comedians lot to keep his audience in roars.

CHICAGO WOMEN SMOKE.
On the Increase, Declares Dentist Who Attends Fashionable Class.

On the Increase, Declares Dentist
 Who Attends Fashionable Class. Chicago Dispatch to New York Herald.
 Sad to say. the use of cigarettes by women appears to be ever on the in- crease" remarked leading dentist whose office Is in one of the downtown sky scrapers. Let me tell you how I hap pen to gain special information on this subject"
 Among my patients Is a society wo- man who once had pretty teeth. l found that she was spelling the beauty of her teeth by the use of cigarettes. They were badly dlscolored at the front. Then l told her that she would have to stop smoking or sacrifice the charm of one of her most attractive features. She frankly confessed that she had been using meer- schaum holder, which she had colored to dark mahogany with nicotine.
 "She added that smoking was not un- common among women who played bridge whist, while many of the younger set dallied with the cigarette habit though they had not yet become cigarette hends. I think that women often regard the cig- arctic as becoming. They imagine that if gives a touch that is fascinating. But when shown that 1t Is a question of q nleasant habit versus beauty, 1t is gen erally beauty that wins My patient Is trying to stop smoking by cutting down her allowance day by day"
 One dealer says the number of women affected by the cigarette craze Is aston ishing. Most of the women use import ed cigarettes, which some one has said are "a mixture of dreams and wicked ness. with a flower of tobacco" The con Armed smokers, however. use a cheaper grade.
 Many of the smart set have pretty cig- arctte cases made of gun metal and stud dcd with jewels. Another conceit Is to have golden tips and initials on each cig- arctic, This is supposed to look smart. Rut even the Turkish and Egyptian nackages must have prize coupons in them. as the women will take no other.
 As for the attitude of men toward these
 smoky ladies' some take tolerant views while others are unable to recon cile the cigarette habit with their Ideals
 of womanly grace and perfection.

Extent of the Opium Industry.

.&SASoht OA S~~~
 Scientific American.
 Few people have any idea Of the vast areas given over wholly to the culti- vation of opium. The consumption and tha manufacture of this drug. far from hefng on inc decline. are on the increase to an almost increditable extent. The greed for gold is far more predominant lh the human makeup than Is the phil- anthropic spirit which seeks to elevate mankind, though Its purse may suffer in so doing. England reaps more benefit from the cultivation or opium than all other nations put together.
 In the district of Bengal alone there are nearly 100000 acres devoted exclu- sively to the cultivation of the poppy. Its cultivation is legalized and in every way encouraged by the British government. which has an absolute monopoly or this industry in India. The two principal dis tricts are presided over by and under the direct control of English officials re- siding at Patna and GhaZipur. The Bahar agency embraces an opium held Of about 500.000 acres, and that Of Benares Is
 close second with 473,500 devoted to the
 cultivation of this much-talked-of-drug. 1 There is a fierce dispute going on just now as to the relative merits or demerits ofzopium Many eminent mon in the scientific world openly declare that opium isTa blessing. The government experts in | the country where 1t grows go so far as, to say that opium Is blessing in- stead of being a curse to the natives. However the vast majority of mankind will long be of the undivided opinion that opium is the most all-crushing curse that . affiicts man. The enthusiasts. or. rather. extremists, of the International Anti Opium Society picture the condition of In- 1 dia under the ban of opium in the most dreadful manner possible. According to one of these men, all of the 6OOoO0.0O0 of human beings in Asia are exposed to the evils of the opium trade as legalized by the British government.

 The production in It's entirety will be identical, 1t is claimed. so far as spec tacular equipment can extend, with ti.c production which has taken the metro polls by storm.

For a companion he has the Tin Woodman, another gro tesquc being who has been turned to tin through the potency Of wicked witch and only regains his prowess as a wood chopper after his joints have been linn bered by magic oil can.
