The doctor started to go, but turned
back and said, as in after thought, 81
never thought about payment" We all
protested, Mortified at his wishing to
pay for what we considered a pleas
ure." Well" said he, "since you re-
fuse payment, l will let you do the
work on one condition-that the one
who darns her pair the neatest shall
accept a prize, and will take whatever
| offer for prize-of whatever value"
We agreed to this, and he said, laugh
ing, "Wlll you consider this promise
binding?" We promised solemnly that
we would, laughing all the while, as
we thought it all an excellent Joke.
The next week when we met we com
pared our work, and Claire's mendinS,
as we expected, was so daintily done
that you could hardly tell where the
darns were.
Then the doctor came in, and when
we showed him the socks he declared
Claire's the best, and said that the
prize was not quite ready, but begged
to be allowed to call on Miss Claire
that evening to bestow it upon her. She
reluctantly said that he might, and the
doctor suggested meeting next day,
in order that we might (his eyes
twinkling wiekedly) see how we liked
the prize. So next day we met, all

Great Damage Caused to the Cuban
Tobacco Crop.
The American charge de affairs at
Havana has reported to the State De-
partment that the tobacco crop of the
finest regions in Cuba is almost a total
loss, says the Washington Star. The
destruction is the result of torrential
rains, which will reduce the yield from
469,328 bales, the figures of 1905, to
less than 100000 bales for 1906. This
amount will in all probability be still
further reduced, as the acreage this
year is smaller than that Of the pre-
Vious crop.
The effect of the torrential rains has
been to blight the seedlings, and the
next crop will be almost a fat fail
ure. AS 1t takes at least ITO days from
the planting of the seed to the cutting
Of the mature leaf, there will be a
long interval Of distress and short
age.
The government has received appeals
for aid from many quarters, and pro-
poses a series Of public works which
will give some relief to the workmen
thrown out of employment and will
tend to control the rivers in case Of
future foods and heavy rains.
The shortage in the supply of the
tobacco leaf which is now assured will
affect prices to a considerable degree.
The market already has been strongly
influenced, and corresponding rise in
the price Of cigars must inevitably fol-
low. The American smoking public
will feel the increase in price before
the foreigner, owing to the fact that
the American consumer prefers the
green" cigar, while the Englishman,
German and Frenchman place a higher
value on the seasoned" cigar. In Eng
land and Germany it is possible, con-
sequently, to keep on hand large stocks
Of cigars. The American importer pre-
fers a much smaller stock because Of
the fact that he has superior and more
numerous advantages for obtaining new
supplies Of the weed in a short time.
Furthermore, the enormous import duty
on cigars undoubtedly operates strong
ly in discouraging the American Inn
porter Of limited capital from laying
In a large stock OF cigars.
