WHY THEY COULDN'T SETTLE IT
Judge Sylvester Dana, who was for
some years judge of the police court
in Concord, N. H, always endeavored
to smooth over any little difference be-
tween persons brought before him.
On one occasion the charge was for a
technical assault, and it came out in
the course Of the evidence that the
parties were neighbors and had been
on the best Of terms for some years.
ut is a great pity" said the Judge,
that old friends, as you seem to have
been, should appear before me in such
a way. Surely this is a case which
might be settled out Of court?"
1T can't be done, judge" answered
the plaintiff, moodily. II thought of
that myself, but the cur won't fight

Seen From the locomotives Cab.

"Yes, indeed, we have some queer
little incidents happen to u.s." said an
old time locomotive engineer at the
Diller yesterday afternoon.
Queer things happened to me about
year ago. You'd think 1t queer for
rough man like me to cry for ten
minutes, and nobody hurt, either.
wouldn't you? Well, did, and I can
almost cry every time think of 1t
now.
II was pulling passenger on the Ca
madam Pacific, over in British Colum-
bia. when 1t happened.
II was running along one afternoon
pretty lively when I approached Kam-
loops, where the track Is laid through
the principal street Of the town.
Stacked up little, but was still max
ing a good speed, when suddenly about
twenty rods ahead Of me a little girl
not more than three years old toddled
on to the track. You can't imagine
my feelings. There was no way to
or even slack much, at that distance,
as the train was heavy and the grade
descending. In ten seconds 1t would
have been all over, and, after revers-
ing and applying the air. I shut my
eyes. l didn't want to see any more.
AS we slowed down my fireman stuck
his head out Of the cab window to
see what I'd stopped for, when he
laughed and shouted to me: Jack,
look here!' looked, and there was
big black Newfoundland dog holding
the little girl in his mouth, leisurely
walking toward the house where she
evidently belonged. She was kicking
and crying so that I knew she wasn't
hurt, and the dog had saved her. My
fireman thought it funny and kept
laughing, but I cried like a woman. I
just could not help it. 1 had a little
girl of my own at home in Vancou-

SIZE OF THE CIGAR.

Inehes-Long Cigars a Fad Now.


Inehes-Long Cigars a Fad Now.
Two smokers stood in one Of the ci-
gar shops in the vicinity Of the Stock
Exchange, during the rest hour.
You have all sizes Of cigars" said
one of the smokers as he surveyed the
stock Then these questions and an
swers followed:
"In length" replied the shopkeeper,
"the average cigar is from to s
inches"
Has the size Of a cigar anything to
do with the price?"
Sometimes. Not always. The sto-
gle is longer than the average length
and everybody knows what a stogie
costs. They are seven inches long.
Il have another cigar the same length
as a stogie, which sells three for a
dollar. The cigar that sells three for
a half is about five and a half inches
long, but it is thicker than the cigar
of the same length that sells for 10
cents straight or Is cents straight"
What Is the weight of an average
cigar?'
"All depends on the tobacco. One
cigar that sells for 10 cents weighs
about one-fourth Of an ounce. Anoth-
er, the same size, weighs an eighth Ut
an ounce, and still another Of the same
size, that sells at the same price,
weighs half an ounce. The brand that
sells three for a dollar is the same
weight"

Of cigars just as there are fads In

well, you're on. Just at present
the fad seems to be long cigars of the

isn't it a fact the average smok-
er-I don't mean men who run to fan
cy prices and buy by the box-buys
the five cent cigar?"
More five cent cigars are now sold
than formerly" the shopkeeper replied.
"The five cent panatela shape, for In

the Porto Rico cigars.

buy them by the box, at SIS. When the
the duty was taken off 1 gave him one
of the brand one day and told him 1t
was a new five cent cigar that I had
just put on the market. He smoked
about half of it and said 1t was
enough, and he wanted his old smoke.
Then 1 told him 1t was the same, less
the duty"
"Then what happened?"
What usually happens? You smok-
ers think you know more about cigars
than we who make them. That man
wouldn't have 1t. He insisted on
smoking a ten cent straight. and
gave it to him. Price Is what gov
