He Who CheWs wit Know
The Proof is i'm the Chewing

That's why a 10-cent plug of
SCHNAPPS is more economical
than a much larger plug Of cheap
tobacco.
That's why SCHNAPPS wins all
classes of chewers: the rich, because
they do not find q chew to really
please them better at any price; the
poor, because they get their moneys
worth of the real snappy chew and
flavor not found in tn, highly sweet
ened mixtures. Ne;tI,ec .l.e rich nor
the poor wish to chew tobacco so
intensely sweet that its true favor
and tooth-preserving quality are LOST.
Look for the word ''SCI1NAPPS''
on the tag, and ca the Plug Under the
tag and then you ta,c it the most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetering to preserve
the quality and brig cut the favor

The wholesome flavor and delight
full, appetizing aroma Of the tobacco
grown in the famous Piedmont to-
bacco belt continues to create and
popularize mans fondness for chew
ing tobacco. Lovers of real tobacco
pass the good thing along one
chewer makes another chewer-ur-
til there are now many more chewers
and more pounds oftobacco chewed,
to the population, in those States
where SCEINAPPS tobacco was first
sold, than there are in the States
where SCHNAPPS has not yet been
offered to the trade.
Only choice selections of well ma
tured, thoroughly cured tobaccos,
grown in the famous Piedmont
tobacco belt, are used in making
SCHNAPPS.
That's why it has a better quality
and more lasting flavor than the
tobacco formerly sold to chewers at
double the price they now pay for
SCTiNAPPS.

TANDY quilted the bank In very
serious distress Of mind. He
was a capitalist Of large means,
i but even great capitallst-and
he could not be reckoned as quite that
may sometimes find 1t inconvenient to
raise money in considerable sums upon
the instant. So 1t happened that just
at this time Tandy's means were all
employed and his credit stretched al
most to the point Of breaking by rea-
son of his excessive and largely con-
cealed investments in a number OF en-
terprises.
On the moral side 1t would have been
difficult even for Tandy himself to say
Just what measure Of suffering he en-.
dured. His conscience was caseharden-
cd. but his financial reputation was not

"AIr. Tandy," replied Duncan, enun-
ciating every syllable as precisely as If
he had been reciting q lesson in a for

He was gentle and kind; he would plan
 half the day For an unlooked-for act that would
 please you some way; He would sit up all night with friend
 who was i'll, And to do you favor would work with
 a will But he never amounted to much. There was something about him that
 got to your heart; It was plain that he never was playing But that ali that he did he was doing
 for you And that he was a friend who was last
 ing and true--- ... But he never amounted to much. All the boys he grew up with went ris-
 ing to fame; There were some who made money, and
 all made name; Art and music and letters, the law or
 finance, Every one of the rest made the most of
 his chance But he never amounted to much. Why, there wasn't child but would
 come to his arms, For of jingles and stories he knew all
 the charms; Yes, and even the dogs in the street
 used to leap At his hand with a bark that was
 laughingly deep- But he never amounted to much. And nobody could tell why he had such
 hold On the rich and the poor, and the young
 and the old; lie was always on hand for some kind
 little deed. He instinctively knew when frient
 was in need But he never amounted to much. They have folded his hands, they Have
 laid him to rest And the church couldn'e hold all tho
 friends he possessed, And fair memories mingled their smiles
 with the tears Of the ones who recalled the good deeds
 of his years But he never amounted to much.

FRUITFUL KITk-FLYING.

Ben Franklin did some pretty fruitful kite-hying in his day and now we read that the experiments with Dr. Alexan- der Graham Bells tetrahedral kite at Arlington give promise of large results in the realm of wireless telegraphy. One of the problems encountered by the promoters of long-distance communi- cation without wires has been to de- wise a system of transatlantic teleg- raphy that would not require a mid ocean station of great altitude. Dr. Bells experiments have demonstrated the possibility of flying a kite at a height of nearly half a mile and re ceiving messages by means of it.. Among the dispatches taken at Airing ton was one from the steamer Bermu- dian, one hundred miles out from New York and more than three hundred miles from the receiving point.
 The Chinese have been flying kites for thousands of years, but it takes United States men to really get out of kite-hying what there is in it.

AS the country folk here in New Hampshire express it. the winter came wrong end to-" this time, and, in
 truth, as I look from my window this 23d of March, it is difficult to believe that within few days it will be April, and that we shall have warm, spring weather, with bluebirds flying and with robins singing all about us. Our expec- tations of spring are based entirely on past experience, not on present indica- tions. This morning, at six o'clock, the thermometer registered zero, and there was a wind with 1t which made it feel like fifty below There is actually more snow on the ground now than there has been at any other time this wir TT, and on the main roads the sleigl--lg could not be better The back roads are almost impassable because of the drifts one of which, directly in front of our house, is nearly six feet, deep. Snow-shoes are in order, and, except on the main roads, it is well nigh in1- possible to get anywhere without them. Usually, the road commissioners see to it that the road leading to this house is broken out, but it seems the matter was overlooked this week, SO, day be- fore yesterday, made stab at it my self with my team of buffalo calves,

now eleven monthe old. And they did their work like thoroughbreds. Noth- ing that goes on four legs could have shown more fire or better courage than those youngsters did, when called on to do their first bit of really hard work. There was not the slightest disposition to balk at anything. No drift was too deep for them, though they sank in to their bellies or further Jamming their sturdy necks into the yoke they fair ly pranced along through the heavy snowy, at a speed which it seemed must have quickly left behind a team of domestic oxen of any age Of course they have never yet actually competed with any other team but if they are better than their domestic brethren, they will have an oportunity to prove it next autumn. Arrangements are al- ready being made for a series of con tests, in which they will meet the strongest and fastest steers of their own age in New England. But to re- turn to my subject.
 Last year, at this time there were plenty of early migrants; bluebirds, robins and song sparrows being most in evidence. Some of the song spar rows were singing, and though there was some snow on the ground, it was soft and fast disappearing under a
