How Katfirs Smoke.

"The Kaffir smokes on his stomach"
said tobacconist, using the earth for
a pipe"
This benighted savage, when to-
bacco- hunger seizes him, selects a
piece of clayey soil about foot square,
and puts curved twig therein so that
both ends of the twig stick out. Then
he builds a fire over the place, and
when the fire has sufficiently hardened
the clay, he draws out the twig, and a
channel, a kind of pipe stem. is left.
"One end of the channel he hollows
into bowl The other end is his
mouthpicce. He puts his tobacco in the
bowl, drops live coal on top, and, ly-
ing down, falls to.
THE Kaffir sucks away vigorously,
asd very black and strong are the
fumes that enter his large mouth. He
will not use an ordinary pipe. He likes
his own way of smoking best. He is,
I suppose, the only smoker whose pipe
is the earth"

AN ENENl VS. ADMISSION.
ICerro Gortlo Republican,


1t would now appear that Governor
Cummins Is making rapid gains and
will have denomination at the state
convention The people believe he is
the man of the hour, and are standing
by him. The voters are now attracted
to vigorous men like Roosevelt, La
Toilette and Dolliver 1t was only
when It became clear that Senator Al
lison was backing up Senator loolliver,
and consulting with the president on
rate legislation. that our great senior
senator began holding his own In Iowa.
Active, aggressive leadership Is what Is
friends and new recruits. No matter
how we'll grounded the attacks on Gov
ernor Cunnmins may be as to his rec
ord In the past. 1t does not hurt him
so long as the voters believe he Is hon.
est now In his talks on corporate con-
troll. Mr.. Perkins, John Herriott and
Major Rathbun cannot make Roadway
against Cummins this year unless In
addition to a fine record in the past
they lead Off now with energy along
the lines taken by President Roose-
Welt. These gentlemen have only them
selves to blame If they are beaten by
men and would stand right in the sup
port OF President Roosevelt but they
have not asserted this in a way to con-
vince the voters of their sincerity.
Governor Cummlns now has a strong
lead In the county conventions already
held, and there are more to follow.
