A Personal Favor.

One of the most picturesque figures of the New York bar was the late Thomas Nolan. lawyer. whose witty retorts furnished subjects for merri- ment at many a lawyers gathering. Now, Nolan was at one tune council for a poor widow who was suing con- struction company for the death of her husband The case had been pla aced upon the day calendar" but had been frequently postponed, and Mrs. Mor- iarty, by the time she had made her fifth call, was in an exceedingly dis. turbed frame of mind. consequently the tones of Nolan's rich brogue were more than usually fervid as he fought against the sixth adjournment.
 q am sorry" said Justice Dugro, but your opponent has shown me good cause for the adjournment, MT. Nolan, and the case will therefore go over un- til to-morrOw."
 "Very well. sor," said the barrister. sweetly, but might l ask wan per sonal favor of this coort?'
 Certainly, sir, with pleasure"
 will your honor kindly sthep down to my office and just tell Mrs. Moriar- ity that you have ad, ,ourned the case" Success.

CIGARETTES LESS POPULAR.
Falling Off in Sales Show Efforts 1
 Save Boys Not in Vain.

Falling Off in Sales Show Efforts to
 Save Boys Not in Vain. It may be true enough that q boy
 who is determined to smoke will
 smoke but in several countries legis- lation against Juvenile smoking has been at least partially successful. A
 very strong campaign has been waged against the cigarette fiends," as the
 boys who smoke are called. and in the
 majority of the States laws of pro-
 hibitive character have been passed. Nearly fifteen years ago three-fourths
 of the States had such law, but in every instance the enactment is in
 some measure evaded.
 The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of the efficacy of the measures designed to prevent boys from smoking Is to be found in the fact that the sale of cigarettes in the United States is. despite the rapid increase of the population, steadily de- creasing. Ten years ago 3,5OO,000 ciga- rettes were manufactured in the course of the twelvemonth. but now the an-
 nual output is probably not more than 2,5OO,OOO,OOO. In comparison with
 these figures a few concerning the British consumption may be given. and notice must be taken of the fact that the population of the United States at the last census was 76,0O0,OOO and that of the United Kingdom 100000. According to an estimate made in 1898. the number of cigarettes smoked in England was 7.OoO.O0o0O a year. But since then there has been an enor- nous increase in the consumption. and HOW the sale Is not far short of 12,- 0O0,0OO,OOO.
 That juvenile smoking has had much to do with this increase there can be no doubt, and it has been computed that boys smoke 2,5OO,OOO,OO0 ciga- rettes a year.
 Canada has followed the example of the United States In this matter and boy of under Is years of age who smokes is breaking the laws of the Dominion. Similar prohibition will be put into force in Australia before long, and in two or three other English colonies the word will go forth that boys must not smoke.
 In Europe Norway has led the way. Any tobacconist in that country who
 sells ''the weed' in the form of ciga. rettes, or any other shape. to boy under IS. is liable to a fine unless he can show that the boy was purchas- ing on behalf of a relative or em- poyer and had signed order to that effect Sixteen seems to be the age at
 whlch-according to legislators-boys
 may begin to smoke without fear of deletrious consequences.

Postal PawnslIop.

It Is rare that the pawnshOp is a vital part of the national life of a peo- pie, but such is the case in Italy. This Is true to such an extent that the gov ernment is now considering d plan by which the people may be relieved from the excessive rates of interest they are compelled to pay to private brokers. According to the Tribuna. the great curse of the Italian poorer classes is their vanity, the savings which they might put in the banks being devoted to the purchase of ornaments of gold or silver. When the time of need comes these articles go to the pawn shops, of which there Is great deti- clency, the total number being 533 for s,262 communes.
 The majority charge rate which with the government tax amounts to fully 15 per cent, many of the shops working on borrowed capital being compelled to charge this rate to make a profit. In 1896 there were 6.513.45S articles pawned, on which were raised 1O3. .s3O, ,735 lire. Of this number of pledges All ,607 were abandoned. The government now proposes to utilize the money-some 9OOO00,O00 lire-which has been accumulated by the poorer classes in the postal savings funds. for the purpose of making loans on pre- cious metals. The loans will be made at a low rate of interest, and the entire postal system will be adapted to the use of the department. It will thus be possible to pawn an article In any portion of the kingdom and take it out elsewhere.-Public Opinion.

HOW WAS EXPLAINED
Hotel Guest Was a Hold-Up Man, bu
 Was Rolled.

Was Rolled.
 "The queerest thing that ever hap pened to me" said the hotel clerk to a Boston Budget writer, "came off when was on the night desk of a small hotel in a Connecticut town. IL was q second-rate establishment. frequent ed mostly by drummers, and the siua. ton was rather lonely al night. There were stores all about, and they closed early. so that after Ia o'clock ours was the only place on the block open. For that req son l kept q revolver in the money drawer. One night ahnut 1 B o'clock A pleasant spoken. well-drCs>ed young fellow came in and asked for d room. We talked for few minures then l told him as tactfuly as 1 could that as he didn't have any baggage he would have to pay in advance. All right, he said. Take it out of that
 He handed me S1O bill I pulled out the money drawer to change it. There was my revolver ill plain sight and another one with il. The second gun had been left in his room by de parting guest. and I'd tucked it into the drawer with mine for want of s better place to put it.
 What do you want with two TO. voversE asked the stranger. Oh sad l, joshlng. suppose some one should and get one gun and start 10 hold me up. I'd have another handy
 My God, What's that yelled the stranger, and pointed 10 the window. It's an old trick. but it caught me. I looked. When I looked back there was the stranger standing with the ex- tra revolver. which he'd reached over and got out of the till. Suppose, Slid he. that should grab d revolver while you weren't looking and cover you-as I'm doing now-and tell you to hand over the till, and that If you made A move to get your gun I'll scatter your brains all over the where would your extra revolver be then: Hey?
 And suppose, said I. truthfully, that l told you the gun you are hold Ing on me hasn't been loaded for a month and has a broken firing pin. And while that was being telegraphed through his brain I snatched my own gun and covered him.
 Ut would show quick wit on your part, he said, and he laid down the unloaded revolver And now, If you will give me my change. l guess I'll quit the game of suppose. and go to bed
 Well, I'll leave it to you if that wasn't enough to puzzleany man. Had he tried to hold me up, or was il just a fool game of his? Somehow 1 couldn't just make up my mind. So gave him his change and let him go to his room, and I figured on It all night without getting any nearer a conclusion. But next morning things happened which cleared the matter up. About II o'clock the chambermaid reported that she couldn't get any answer from the room to which 1 had assigned the stranger. They unlocked the door. His bed had not been touched. There was an open window to the fire escape in the hall Furthermore, the boss asked me to ex. plain how I'd happened 10 turn over a counterfeit Sl0 bill with my cash
