one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure 10 all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only catarrh cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires consti-

is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

FADS IN SIZES OF CIGARS.
Queer Notions Crop Out Among the
Smokers Who Think They
Know It All.

Two smokers stood in one of the
cigar shops in the vicinity of the
stock exchange, during the rest hour,
says the New York Sun.
you have all sizes of cigars" said
one of the smokers as he surveyed
the stock Then these questions and
answers followed;
IN length" replied the shopkeeper,
"the average cigar is from four to five
inches"
HAS tho 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 stogie
costs. They are seven inches long.
Il have another cigar the same
length as a stogie, which sells three
for dollar. The cigar that sells
three for a half is about five and
half inches long, but it is thicker than
the cigar of the same length that sells
for ten cents straight or Is cents
straight"
What is the weight of an average
cigar?"
"All depends on the tobacco. One
cigar that sells for ten cents weighs
about one-fourth of an ounce. An.
other, the same size, weighs an eighth
of 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 dollar is the same
weight"
Il suppose there are fads in sizes of
cigars just as there are fads in fash
ion?"
well, you're on. Just at present
the fad seems to be long cigars of the
panatela shape. They are all prices,
too, from five cents up"
Isn't it a fact that the average
smoker don't mean men who run
to fancy prices and buy by the box
buys the five cent cigar?"
More five cent cigars are nov sold
than formerly" the shopkeeper re.
Piled THE five-cent panatela shape,
for instance, we sold for ten cents
straight when we paid duty-I am re.
ferring to the Porto Rico cigars.
Il have one customer who used to
buy them by the box, at five dollars.
When the duty was taken off gave
him one of the brand one day and told
him it was a new five-cent cigar that
L had just put on the market. He
smoked about half of it and said it
was enough, and he wanted his old
smoke. Then I told him it 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 it. He insisted OH
smoking a ten-cent straight, and
gave it to him. Price is what gov
erned him, just as it governs most
men when they buy. The average
man is not much of bargain hunter

is to battle the dirt off in layers.

BAD BOY, etc.,
Copyright 1905, by Joseph b. Bowles)
Cairo, Egypt.-My Dear Old Irish
Vegetable; Gee, but ycS ought to see dad
and right now, at hotel, waiting for
q chance at room, when a bride and
groom get ready to vacate it, and go
somewhere else. This hotel is full OF
married people who look scared when
ever there is a new arrival, and | came
pretty near creating panic by going
into the parlor of the hotel, where a
dozen couples were sitting around max
ing goo-goo eyes at each other, and get
ting behind screen and, in disguised
voice, shouting, 81 know all. Prepare
to defend yourself!"
The women turned pale and some said,
"At last! At last!' while others got
faint in the head, and some fell on the
bosoms of their husbands and said:
Don't shoot" You see, most of these
wives had husbands somewhere else,
that might be looking for them. have
warned dad not to be seen conversing
with woman, or he may be shot by a
husband who is on her trail, or by the
husband she has with her.
Well, sir, of all the trips we have had
anywhere, the trip from Constantinople
here was the limit. For two or three
days we were on dinky steamboats, with
Arabs, Turks, negroes and all nationali-
ties canning on deck full of fleaS and
with cholera germs on them big enough
to pick like blueberries, and all of the
passengers were dirty and eat things
that would make dog in America go
mad. The dog biscuit that are fed to
American dogs would pass as a delicate
confection on the menu of any steam
boat we struck, and | had rather lie
down in barn yard with wet dog for
pillow and a cast-off blanket from a
smallpox hospital for a bed, than to
occupy the bridal chamber of any steam
boat we struck
And then the ride across the desert
by rail to reach Cairo was the worst in
the world. Passengers in rags, going tc
Mecca, or some other place of worship
eating cheese thousand years old made
! from old goats milk, and dug from the
Pyramids too late to save it, was what
surrounded us, and the sand storm blew
through the cars laden with germs of the
plague, and stuck to us so tight yor
