your saddles from bouter, to put or

Mathews Powerful Favorite' OF l62S

In 17O0 Steele wrote in the Tatler,

improving n Cigar by Putting 1t Out.
Lighting a new Havana, a downtown

The Grenada sentinel., 1906-07-14

The census bureau at Washington
has recently made public some inter-
eSting statistics relative to paupers in
the United States. One gratifying
showing is that the number of pau
pers in proportion to population is on
the decrease. There were 163. .176
persons in alnshouses during the year
1903, Of which 1lI,8l7 were males.
ut each enumeration since 1880 the
Of female paapers has
been less than that Of the males and
has shown a greater decrease. The
report shows greater tendency to-
wards pauperism among the foreign
born population than among the ma
tive born, and that about fifty per
cent of the paupers are past fifty
years Of age.
