If this nation is to grow, if it is to last
as nation and not as fragmentary
and discordant sections, the men who
conduct it's affairs must have knowl-
edge Of the temper of the people who
constitute it, They must endeavor
with all their might to cement their
sentiments into a constant ferver of
devotion to the nation, and they must
not under any circumstances attempt
to discipline, insult or antagonize the
people of any section. The question

How He Got a Scoop.

There was only one man in Denver
Who could authoritatively deny or af-
firm a rumor that tho great indepen-
idence gold mine at Cripple Creek had
been sold by w. S. StrattOn to an
English syndicate. and that was Joha
HAYS Hammond. the famous minino
expert.
In tho lobby of the Brown Palace
fotel stood group of newspaper
men. and discussed ways and means
for securing the coveted interview, for
Mr.. Hammond had refused to see
them In the party was Little Lord
Fauntleroy,a reporter for a morning
paper He had said that his mother
and Mr. Hammond We're personal
friends. and one of the men had re-
marked that that ought to land the
story for him. They saw him walk
to the other side of the lobby and
write upon a card and hand it to a
bellboy. One of the reporters hurried
on the card:
Vivian Burnett,
Son of Mrs. Frances lodgson Bur
nett
The reporter tore from his copy-pa-
per a slip and wrote thereon:
Arthur Clark.
Son of old man Clark.
Give that to Hammond too" he
said to the boy.
/ The reporter joined his comrades.
and presently the boy came down and
said:
"Mr Hammond says he will see old
man Clark's boy. ."-Saturday Evening

TEST FOR CIGAR SMOKERS.

81 have a customer who thinks he
smokes 20 cigars day" said down
town dealer "As matter OF fact,
he gives away many Of them, and
throws away some that are only part

the belief that he smokes more actual
tobacco than any man in the city, and
boast in the subject in my store
yesterday led to curious bet
Gle declared to begin with, that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars IN
half an hour. A bystander remarked
that no man alive could smoke even
oen cigar continuously until consumed
without taking it from his lips. 'Bosh!
said my man. I do that right along

other, and in half minute the wa
was made. BY its terms the cigar
was to be consumed in steady consec-
utve puffs and not removed from tn
lips until burned to a mark one and
haf inches from the tip. A clea'
Havana Colorado Madura was select
ed for the test and the smoker took a
seat and began.
"He puffed like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated some
thing under half an inch of ash. and
then he began to wobble. He shifted
the cigar from, side to side, pnlle
slow and fast and seemed to hav
great difficulty in getting his. breath
between the draws. At any rate he
kept turning his head to avoid the
smoke. and finally got to laughing. !!
could see he was in torture, but he
stuck to it until he got within half an
irch of the mark Then he jumped
UP suddenly, threw the cigar away
and walked out of the shop.

his account and he told me last even
ing that the very idea of tobacco
made him sick. I doubt whether it

AS he announced the conclusion of

remarks was realized became almost
painful. But when he sat down with
words of thanks on his lips for the
treatment he had received from his
colleagues on both sides of the cham
