| 'the makin's,' and awaits customers
The free citizen of this liberty,
loving state, with a craving for 50
Whit sneaks along the back streets
and alleys like a burglar, hat dowr
over eyes and coat collar turned up
He glides into the house, in which
the blinds are drawn and doors and
buys the material, or pays for the
privilege, and INDUCES in a smoke
in fear and trembling
Many stories of the experiences OF
victims of the habit are told
At we'll known smoking emporium
in indianapolis it is stated that g
father of seven boys, who is an in
veterate cigaret smoker, has enough
cigaret papers on hand to paper a
large room. The cigaret trust is adj
vertising to send free seven books OF
cigaret papers to all who write for
them. The inveterate smoker used
the names of his seven boys and
wrote for the books, and he now has
volumes to burn.
An Interstate Traction car running
from indianapolis to Dayton, O., was
well filled with men passengers the
other day, but despite the fact that
the tables were strewn with news
papers and books. that the day was
pleasant and the trip was in every
way enjoyable. all the passengers
seemed diSconsolate.
He Took No Chances.
AS the car neared Richmond one of
the men began to look around and
notice things.
"Say, conductor" said he, '1et me
know when we strike the Ohio line"
In due time the Ohio line was
STRUCK" and all eyes were turned on
the traveller, all anxious to ascertain
what he intended to do at that mem
orable spot.
Their curiosity was soon gratifed
however, for a moment later he
grabbed his valse and extracted from
it a pack of cigaret paper and a pack
age of tobacco. In less time than it
takes to tell it he had rolled a cigaret
He was a generous fellow, however
"a little Whit of a cigaret makes
the whole smoking world kin, you
know-and he passed the papers and
tobacco among the other unfortu-
mates in the car, and soon all were
enjoying the freedom of the hour,
while clouds of cigaret smoke passed
in waves above them.
A futter of excitement passed over
the audience at the Grand opera
house the other night when Rose
Stahl, who presents 1.-THE Chorus
Lady" pulled cigaret from her
pocket and applied a lighted match
to it,
The people in the audience expect
ed to see some big, burly policeman
rush onto the stage and take possess
sion of the charming actress for a
violation of the cigaret law, but no
policeman came near
The actress does not smoke the
cigaret, merely lighting 1t and hold
ing it in her fingers for a few mo-
ments, then throwing 1t away.
And then the question arises, as
1t n bona fide cigaret, after all?"

one, or even has IN his possession
the makins." The fine is from S25
to $500 and six months in Jail. The
maximum can be inflicted for the
third offense. and the costs are tackled
upon the fine.
The law has been windfall for
the village constable, the town mar
shall or the little Hoosier city's chief
of police. In some of the smaller
places the constables pay small boys
a fee for information as to the pos
session of the makin's." Strangers
are the victims. Travelling men who
have never heard of the law. and who
innocently proceed to roll one" are
nabbed by the bewhiskered sleuth be-
fore he has a match lighted. Some of
the pests even watch the trains and
try to nab passengers who are en-
joying the forbidden luxury in the
smoking cars.
Scientific sleuths.
The work of catching the "crimi-
nal" has become a science. The viii
lage constable has a highly trained
nose these days. The smoke from a
cigaret he can smell a mile, while
the odor from 1.-The makin's" is plain
ly visible to his enlarged probiscis,
even through a double strength suit

American Ring Science Won.

Another international battle has been fought and
again America is on top
AS far back can remember this has been the case
and hope it continues so.
However, am ready to give the devil his DUE and of
all the opponents of the ring game who have raversed the
seas in hope of carrying back to the home of j. Bull title
acquired from an American this Jabez White is
about the best.
Had Jabez been trained in America under competent
instructors he would have made still better showing
Britt won because he fought White from start to fin
lsh according to American customs
The standoff and wait tactics of the Engishman avail
ed him nothing Had not been for his wonderful defense
Britt would have finished him great deal quicker. But
as Britt has admitted White perfection in blocking
staling up and covering
And when he depended upon counter to get back at
BRITT he did not have the strength to make it count.
White did not around the custom of Eng
smen in byogne days. but stood up and depended upon
science and ceveess to offset Brt American ring
tics, which were in a way new to the Britisher
rom a boxing standpoint there contest in
this country which surpassed the bobu Neither is
OF the kind that depends upon the lucky punch to bring
home victory. Quite the contrary.
1t Of science against science practiced by
the two greatest fighters in their respective countries
White lost because he accepted the plan mapped out
by the California boy and then couldn't hold up under the
terrific fire. Had Nelson been his opponent doubt of the
Dane with his terrible punch would have been success
full Britt who fought better than he did in his bat
ties against 'Corbett" and Nelson. 81
For gameness, White has it all on the Engshnlen I
have read about in the ring since first took an
interest in sport He not only took awful beating but
tried time and again to land when he that his punches
were having effect Britt than if he had been
hitting punching bag.
Unless he changes his tactics, White will leave America
with more friends than any English pub who visited
our shores, and in this statement have not forgotten
Charlie Mitchell and other famous heavyweights
Britt and Nelson Next
Britt in accepting another battle with Nelson, did the
proper thing. Nelson made by far the best showing
against Britt of of the in the class and ought to
be given hasty consideration.
While it is still too early to discuss the outcome of
other clash between them not backward in saying
that unless Nelson has improved since he the Frisco
boy he will have considerable trouble staying the 20
rounds next time.
Britt has improved very little in science, but from the
evidence adduced in the battle with White he has acquired
something of punch and is safe to bet he will over
look chance to improve that which he needed most to
make him the wonder of all the lghweighs the ring has
produced-a wallop.

Great FIoto Shows.

The Great Floto Shows carry a large
300 have to he cared for every day. It
takes tons of proyender to feed these
horses and the menagerie.
The animals of the menagerie are gen
orally of the most interest. The hardest
and longest lived aud most intelligent
is said to be the elephant. Some of the
largest of this show are used to push the
heavy wagons and cages about the slot"
when the show is setting up. One morn
ing an elephant became enraged at his
driver and wheeled quickly and struck
at the man with his trunk. The beady
eyes of the animal glistened as he trum
peted his anger. The keeper dashed the
big brute with his whip and subdued
him without any damage being done.
Had the man been hit by the blow 1t
would have killed him. When an ele-
phant gets SO bad that he is dangerous,
the owners have the animal killed, and
the next season substitute takes his
place, although the killing of an ele-
phant means loss of several thousand
dollars.
The most delicate animal is the giraffe.
They take cold easily and often die of
hasty consumption. Seals are hardy,
but they are difficult to train. Probably
the hardest animal to train is the wild
African zebra. They will not give up
to man. They will be killed before they
will obey Sometimes hybrids are seen
and they resemble the full-blooded
animal

that can be found in a good sized city.

EVERYBODY MUST

A Striking one Issued for Free

Calendars for the year 1905 will soon

corporations make practice of giving
them to their customers. Some are

year shows an improvement over allits
predecessors, as to be expected with

getting them out. tits wall calendar

bottom and an eyelet by which to hang
it. 1t is about 20x30 inches in g re, al d

holidays are in red. Just above each
figure is smaller one showing the
number of days since the first Of the
year. This is an aid in calculating
time The months are arranged down
the two sides of the calendar, and in
the center are two artistic and interest
ing railroad scenes, with the trade
mark of the road between. One OF the
scenes represents the Dixie Flyer as
seen going at full speed through the
mountains out from Chattanooga, and
not many miles away from Lookout
Mountain, one of the famous sights Of
the south. The other represents the
capture on this road of the engine Gen

Do Not Snnnress a Couch.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some dis
ease, and the disease is what you should
cure, then the cough will stop itself
The most common cause of coughing is
a cold. Anodynes will promptly sup
press the cough, and preparations con-
tanning chloroform, opium, etc, are
used for the purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain Cough
Remedy on the other hand does not
suppress the cough, but relieves it by
removing from the throat and lungs
