LOOK FOR ADVANCE
IN HAVANA CIGARS
Prices Already Up 2 Per
Cent, Due to Troubles
in Island.

Within the past week the price Of Ha-
vana cigars has advanced per cent on
the thousand. This condition has caused
much concern among local tobacc0nIsts.
In winter the tobacco trade in this city
probably increases more than IN any
other ity in the country. This is due 10
the fact that the attaches Of the various
LEGATIONS, Senators, Congressman ana
minor Statesmen, to say nothing OF
the department clerks. indulge freely lh
the smoking habit Especially ls thls
true regarding the foreign attaches.
Tobacconists say that they supply the
,seatiors with thousands OF dollars
worth Of smoking material. The major
nnrtion IL IS claimed. are partial to
Havana tobacco. IL possesses a haFor'
thev say. that cannot b., equaled by
tobacco raised iu any other country
in the world.

@HE world is full Of hospitals. not

dogs, horses. birds and dolls. And why
not? Dolls have ailments as wei, as
other folks-in fact, rather more so.
They lose their hair. their eyes, their
teeth, their hands. their legs, their saw
dust and eve their complications and
heads. Small boys delight in crippling
and manning them. rockers smash
them. big folks step on them. Til

So the DOH hospitals flourish. Most
large cities support one. Doll surgery
has become a science. The poor things
do not have to take medicine, fortu-
nately, except paint applied externally

large circle of business acquaintance
in this and surrounding towns will
doubtless find his new berth congenial.
