LESS EARLY-TO-RlSE TALK.
Coming Generations May Escape
Thrall of Old Adage as 1t Is
Less Observed.

The tantalizing old jingle about
early rising making man healthy,
wealthy and wise is responsible
for more misery in the world than
all the other good-behavior max
inns and rules for success put to-
gether, and it is gratifying to OBJ
serve that the present generation
is not so complaisant in obeying
the rule as the good but misguided
men and women of yesterday,
says the Rochester Post Express.
The early-rising fad is not much
in vogue now in the cities, and II
will not be many years before
the beneficent reform will take
root in the country.
The cause of this change, Of
course. is the change from early tc
late hours in thickly settled 10
calities.
The urban population occupies
its evenings in pleasurablc pur
suits and retires at an hour that is
not in harmony with the advice
that was inculcated daily in the
minds of our grandmothers and
grandfathers.
Another great change is the in
crease of occupations that require
night work, for in every large city
there are thousands of men and
women who work at night and
sleep during the day.
The theater is also an impor.
tant factor in keeping people
awake until midnight. In olden
times there were not so many
amusements and distractions in
daily life, and after our grand
parents finished their days work
there was nothing better to dc
than to 60 to bed.
In these days of rushing busi
ness and varied pleasures, how
ever, humanityjust begins to enjoy
itself when darkness falls from
the wing of night" when the pale
blue rays of the electrics drill
holes in the ebon atmosphere, and
the noises of the downtown thor
oughfares fall on the ear.

POINTS FOR WET" SMOKER
Great Harm Is Done to Young Men
Who Indulge in Cigarette
Habit.

Very few people are aware how
much harm is done to young men
by the almost universal habit OF
cigarette smoking. The man who
smokes cigarettes has one always
in his mouth, and is continually
inhaling nicotine until his system
is saturated with the poison.
The result of this practice is a
catarrhal condition of the nose,
throat and bronchi, a disordered
and very irritable state Of the

Final V il occurred to one of the
executors to compile Il list of all of
the agents Gov. Robinson had EN-

searched everywhere for the deed.

farmhouse almost adjoining the
Robinson farm. The desk was
searched, but the missing docu.

farmer who owned the desk was
not satisfied with the search made
by the lawyers who had visited
him for that purpose. He took the
desk apart and behind broken

CHARM OF THE OLD SONGS
The Old Favorites Are Perennially
Popular with All Glasses
OF People.

Old songs are the best, for they
carry us back to the days that
were radiant with sentiment
and were part of poetry and ro-
nance, declares the Kansas City
journal. They stir our natures in
their profoundest depths, and,
reaching below the callous of our
petrescent hearts, play strange ac
compartments upon the long dis.
used strings of our remembrance.
Who can resist the subtle potency
of those old songs that stop the
world in tear-smiles that we may
wave Il salutation back through
rift in the storm of years to the
youth and maiden of the long ago?
That the old songs are best has
been shown in the perennial popu-
larity of PATHS "Home, Sweet

sons "'Way Down Upon the Su.

always associate these immortal
songs with the great singers who
have included them in their con.
certs, but the singers are often re.
membered because of the songs
themselves. There are few who

LAYMAN'S TALK NEEDED.

The late bishop of Connecticut,
Rt. Rev. John Williams. was an

ately called by his brethren of the
house of bishops, accompanied by
one of his priests, now the bishop
of California, a young deacon, and
one of the leading members of the
Connecticut bar, left the bishops
house en- route for certain island
in Long Island sound, where they
hoped to enjoy their outing. An
old lady had sent the bishop IA
bottle of rare claret to be par
taken of by the party at luncheon.
On their arrival at their des-
tination the claret was carefully
placed in a cool place and the
party dispersed, not to meet again
until noon. Promptly at that hour
they reassembled. and the bishop
tenderly took the bottle from it's
resting place, and, declining all Of
fers of assistance, inserted a
cOrkscrew into the neck of the bot
tie, while the other members Of
the party, cups in hand, thirstily
watched the procedure.
The cork proving refractory,
'LOrd John" placed the bottle be.
tween his knees and made another
effort to dislodge the cork. So
great was his effort that when the
cork did yield the bottle flew back
and struck the trunk of tree i'm.
mediately behind where he was
standing.
CONSERVATION was depicted on
every cOuntenance, and solemn
silence ensued, which was finally
broken by the bishop, who, hold
ing the cOrkscrew in one hand and
the neck of the bottle in the other
turned to the lawyer, exclaiming in
most emphatic tones: you're 4;
layman, sir; why don't you say

"While passing along Regent

New Yorker. 81 saw cab horse

dressed man as he attempted to
cross the crowded thoroughfare.
The horse was moving slowly at

madly after his silk hat, which
was in imminent danger of being

direction for his cane. The street
was jammed and the driver had
not been able to move more than
few feet from the spot where he
had run down the foot passenger.

WOMEN'S FAD: CIGAR BANDS
Hunters for Little Paper Go in Droves
in New York City-Manner
Identifies Them.

If you see young girl, or even
grown woman, swoop upon
something lying on the street do
not think that she has found a
prize. In all probability she is
simply one of those with a craze
for making cigar band decorated
plates, and has found bit of ma
terial, asserts the New York Sun.
The favorite hunting ground is
on Broadway from Fourteenth
street to Forty-second street, and
along Forty-second to the Grand
Central. More people travel over
this route and more cigars are
smoked here than in any other
given stretch of street in the city.
The hunters usually go out in
pairs, and one takes the inside and
the other the outside of the walk
Then they march along looking on
the sidewalk and especially iii the
entrances of cigar stores for the
bands. Some of the bolder ones
do not hesitate to sally in and
grab coveted one if they see il
lying on the floor.
The women who make these
plates were quick to find the hunt
ing grounds. Hubby did not pur
chase enough different brands OF
cigars to meet the demands. The
dealers in the vicinity had toe
many calls to be able to favor
everyone. So resourceful wOmeI
ventured out. They found thai
men would usually throw the
band on the sidewalk. Now the
sidewalk is gone over carefully
and bands of all sizes, shapes anc
colors are found and pasted OF
dishes, plates or bowls.
The favorite band is the big re,
or brown one that comes on som,
of the largest Cuban cigars. An,
of the bands from the Havana OF
Key West cigars are snapped up
and even the brands from tn,
cheaper domestic brands are no
neglected. But as the object o
most of the makers is to have rar,
bands and bands from costly ci
gars, Broadway is secured il

FUN FOR COLLEGE GIRLS.
Basketball, Flower Hunt and Run
ming Races for an After
noon Party.

A bright young college girl has
evolved this original contest for
an afternoon in May, says What
to Eat. Nearly all her friends are
athletic misses who love to tramp
and indulge in games of skill, and
as these will be her guests there
will be an hour of outdoor fun for
the first part of the programme.
This will be basket ball and run
ming races around a small "track"
arranged by the hostess on the
rear lawn.
The second hour will be spent
indoors. Each girl will be given
the name of flower written on II
slip of paper and told that the let
ters forming her flower and the
flower itself are somewhere in the
room for her to start out on a
flower hunt. The letters of the
flowers will be cut out of gilt pa
per and concealed in way to
make things interesting to the
seekers. Each girl will be given IA
card on which to paste the letters
spelling out her flower. Each let
ter will have a coating of mu
cilage so the girl must present her
word nicely pasted on the back of
her card. The hostess will exhaust
her ingenuity in hiding the artiti.
cial flowers and they will be the
hardest of all TO find. One or two
are to be placed in some ones hal.
and some will be pinned incon
spicuously On gown to deceive
the searching maidens.
After the hunt, each will be
given pencil and tablet ani
asked to write 100 words describ
ing what thrilling adventure sh,
had on her hunt for flowers. This
will give play to the imagination
and the reading will cause mucl
merriment. A pretty buckle will
rose design and an opera bag o
rose decorated brOcade will b'
given for prizes.

Although the United States is

OF German make and are imported
from the Black Forest, where one

branches, in which 1000 hands are
employed.
