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. the size of 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.
II have another cigar the same
length as stogie, which sells three
for a dollar. The cigar that sells
three for half is about five and a
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?"
Cali 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 a dollar is the same
weight"
81 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 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 now sold
than formerly" the shopkeeper re-
piled. "The five-cent panatela shape,
for instance. we sold for ten cents
straight when we paid duty am re-
ferr1ng to the Porto Rico cigars.
81 have one customer who used to
buy them by the box, at five dollars.
When the duty was taken off I gave
him one of the brand one day and told
him it was new five-cent cigar that
l had just put on the market. Ho
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 on
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"

ana pulled his feet up on top and sat
there like frog on pond lily leaf.
My jackass only stepped his feet in the
edge, and dad wanted me to swim my
jackass out to the camel, and let him
fall off onto the jack, but l knew dad
would sink my jack IN minute, and
wouldn't go in the river. Well, the
eamels drank about an hour, with dad
sitting there meditating, and then the
dragomen got them out, and we started
off for the pyramids, which were in
plain sight like the pictures you have
seen, with palm trees along the Nile, and
Arabs camping on the bank, and it
looked as though everything was going
to be all right, when suddenly dads
camel stopped dead still and wouldn't
move foot, and all the rest of the cam
els stopped, closed their eyes and went
to sleep, and the Arabs went to sleep,
and dad and the jackass and were ap
parently the only animals in Egypt that
were awake.
Dad kicked his camel in the ribs, but it
wouldn't bulge. He asked me if
couldn't think up some way to start the
procession, and l stopped my jackass
and thought minute, and told dad I
had it, l had bought some giant fire
crackers and roman candles at Cairo,
with which | was going to fire a salute
on top of the biggest pyramid, to cele-
brate for old America, and told dad
what 1 had got, and l thought if got
off my jackass and fired salute there
in the desert it would wake them up.
Dad said ''all right, let er go, but do it
sort of easy, at first, SO not to overdo it,"
and l got my artillery ready. Say, you
can't fire off fireworks easy, you got to
touch a match to em, and dodge, and
take your chances. Well, 1 scratched
a match and lit the giant fire cracker,
and put it under the hind legs of dads
camel, and when it got to fixing lit my
roman candle, and as the fire cracker ex-
ploded like 16-inch gun, my roman
candle began to spout balls of fire, and
I aimed one at each camel, and the
whole push started on stampede for
the pyramids, the camels grooming, the
Arabs praying to Allah, dad yelling to
stop 'er, and my jackass led the bunch,
and I was left in the desert to pick up
the hats.
l guess I will have to tell you the rest
OF the tragedy in my next letter.
Yours with plenty of sand,

HER IMPRACTICAL
SCHEME
By EDWIN PUGH

CHE was a brishtfaced little woman
y hardly more than girl-and she
wore a ravishilg costume of silvery
gray. Her hat was a wonder and a
mystery, a confection of apparently
dead autumn leaves on a furry blue
foundation Her abundant hair was
fair and fluffy; her rounded cheeks
were becomiEgly flushed; she had the
eyes of an inquisitiye kitten and be-
witching mouth.
She stormed the almost impregnable
stronghold of Billy Bosworth's pri-
vate Office without the slightest diff
Guilty, and, carefully ignoring the hard,
wooden chair that he mechanically Of
fered her, ensconced herself in his
own roomy, padded seat of judgment.
You are Mr.. William Bosworth?"
she began, laying a slim gold-handled
umbrella across his writing table and
proceeding to inhibition her white kid
gloves.
Guilty" he stammered, ruefully.
And you are what they call lit
erary and artistic agent?"
They call me other things BESIDES
he answered; "but-yes.'
Then you are precisely the person
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-08-18

hasn't some one said the back of the
costume is much the most important
part-it must be perfect. One can
cover faults in the front of dress, but
we are not in the habit of carrying our
arms behind us.
Tie waist in question is made OF the
same material as the skirt, and has
touches of velvet, the present very fash
ionablG trimming. 1t has a chemisette
in back, as>well as front, which breaks
the length of waist too long and slim.
We 90 not recommend this style for the
pudgy woman. The sleeves are mod
erately full, Of the popular elbow length,
and the frills repeat the white OF the
cherlisette. A violet girdle extends
Just below the waist line. pointed hack

How attractive the little ones are
these late summer days, and how cool
and comfortable they look. They dress
palmer, more sensibly than they used
to, and yet with great amount of
STYLE
Metropolitan, as well as innocently
charming and unconscious of clothes is
that baby boy in his white linen dress,
hanging straight and comfortable from
the shoulder, it's long waist marked by
a shiny black belt. His knees are bare,
his short stockings white, his shoes low
and broad. Head uncovered, he is about
as free as southern pickaninny guilt
less of apparel.
Here is slim, small summer maiden
with a frock of blue cotton or linen;
she wears a low-lying belt, which is of
cherry red, likewise her hair ribbon is
that gay color. Her hose and shoes
are of tan, and she wears no hat, the
yellow tresses cleaning as she runs aft
er retreating playmate.
On hot days at the sea shore, fewer
clothes than the few here mentioned,
are the order of the day. A jumper
proves sufficient for a small boy, and a
similar suit for his fortunate sister.
the new woman of four or five. No
stockings trouble, sandals are strapped
to the feet. Happy childhood of the
sensible early twentieth century.
Older children, the young misses, put
on a lot of style, but are not much ham,
pered, after all, not overburdened with
frills and furbelows. This assuredly is
not a day of ruff1es and wearisome
.adornment, at least for children. Grown
ups costumes show that some poor
creature has had to slave over hand-run
tucks, hand-hemmed frills, hand-sewn
lace, handmade broideries. But the
small fry help strike the happy mean.
There is no little dash to the frocks
here illustrated, and yet in a way they
are plain. So much depends on the cut,
set of waist, depth of collar, hang OF
skirt. The rest is easy. One is gray
blue linen with yoke of broiderie An
glaise. The other model has plated
skirt trimmed with buttons, a blouse
waist with little vest effect. These
frocks are suitable for girls from eight
and ten years up to that period when
dresses must have distinctly grown
up air.
Though early to prophesy about fall
fashions for the big ladies, we make

TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN.

There was battlefield where myriads lay,
Some deadly wounded, many thousand
dead;
And with a hurryins dust through all the
land
sprang the hot couriers; many name
they bore,
Spoken by Victory in her trumpet breath,
Crowned by the crimson Hour for death
less fame
The mother gave her son; he lay forgot;
The wife her husband: in the lannon's path
Oblivion tossed him; and the maid be-
trothed
Sent her beloved; the earthquake of the
bomb
Was the S0rce sexton at his sudden grave.
Their names the couriers bore not. Far
behind
The vulture lowered, seeking such, and
found,
When the long death-list came at last 1t
brought
The nameIess names that break myriad
hearts.
The conquering leader rides in history;
The conquering army sleeps anonymous.
