REFORM IN

To smoke longer and more attcntiv,
Is was n reform suggested at Il recent
convention of smokers held in Bel
GUM. NJ. Kos. the president OF til,
convention. explained that il a pipe
is filed loosely al the bottom, firmly
IN tho middle and again loosely at the
top, 1t VIII smoke for three hours. In
This slow process the nicotine is alb
sorbed in the wood aud does not rcacn
the lips, and the smoker gets the
greatest possible amount of pleasure
out OF the tobacco.
But this philosopher solcmnly an.
nounced. there must be no frivolty in
smoking: il is a process 10 which The
whole mind must be given in an atti-
tude OF prayerful carnestncss. for only
patience and determination make the
true smoker"
Which leads Us To infer that only
the man who has an abundance OF time
at his disposal should daily with my
Lady Nicotine. 1t is quite Obvious that
not one mar in ten can afford to give
three hours OF patient and determined
effort in order to extract the salncc
from 4 single pipe OF tobacco.

THE JOY OF KILLING.

The strenuous nature Of Pres =
ident Roosevelt seeks vent in yari e.
Gus directions. For several weeks
he has been on big hunt in Texas,
Oklahoma ana Colorado. Thrilling
reports come back from the Pres
idents party of his enthus iasm,
prowess and skill in dispatching
the game run down. First it was
a jack rabbit drive in Texas and
thousands of these ilcet-f0oted ro-
dents were sacrificed and much
was made of the fact that the Pres
idcnt killed vicious rattlesnakc
which is said to have made several
strikes mt him. Then followed
wolf hunt, and we are informed
with startling headlines that the
President actually dismountcd on
one occasion, rushed in with the
dogs, grabbed wolf by the throat
and choked it to death. a number
of wolves were killed, of which the
President appears to have been the
chief eXecutioner the guides and
trappers watching at n convenient
distance. The skins of these ami
mails will be sent to Washington ms
trophies of this mighty hunter.
This week the President has been
in Colorado hunting bear. His
very first feat was to dispatch GOO.
pound cinnamon while the guides
and trappers stood back" The
dogs had run the bear to bay; il
was very tired, but we are told that
it put up brisk fight for few
moments" The President was so
cool and deliberate that he pumped
several ounces of lead into the
struggling animal without once
hitting one of the dogs that were
belaboring it" every time his rifle
cracked the bullets found their
target. " o, it was glorious
fight! One big brown bear, which
had been captive for some time

The enforcement of the Sunday
closing law in st. Louis, of which
that city had a wholesome test last
Sunday, is not to the liking of that
class of its citizens whose thirst
can't stand vacation over Sun
day. And now the Republican
politicians imagine they see an OPP
portunity to make capital, and
have determined to begin cam
paIgn for wideopen saloons on
Sunday under the guise of home
rule. They hope in this to get the
help of boOzing Democrats, and of
course the brewers and saloons will
pay the freight.
