Aews


George S. Gardiner, of Laurel, one
OF the foremost lumber manufacturers
of Mississippi. has issued an emphetic
denial Of the frequent charges. allega-
lions and insinuations to the effect that
a lumber trust exists in this State and
elsewhere among the yellow pine manu-
~facturers Of the South.
''The manufacturers of lumber" says
Mr.. Gardiner, ''know that there has
never been any such thing as a lumber
trust, or the control of prices by COM
binations between producers OF lumber,
and that at the present time the pro-
tective tariff has no appreciate infiu-
ence on the price of lumber, except,
perhaps, in a limited territory near the
Canadian border.
st occurs to me that the easiest way
to correct the wrong impression which
SO largely prevails in the minds OF the
public is for the lumbermen OF the
South to advocate abOlishing the duty
IN lumber. 1t seems to me that con-
siderable reduction in the tariff on all
commodities should be made by con.
gress, as soon as possible, and | believe
that many who are engaged in the yell
low pine manufacturing industry will
be glad to ask congress to abolish the
duty ON other commodities"

MEN THAT ARE POISONOUS.
Physicians Demonstration That Con-
WINGED Hard Smoker.

"You smoke 80 cigarettes a day."
Yes, on the average"
Yet you don't blame them for your
rundown condition."
mot in the least. / blame my hard
work"
The physician shook his head. He
smiled in a vexed way. Then he took
q leech out of a glass jar.
Let me show you something" he
said. Bare your arm"
The cigarette fiend barred his pale
arm, and the other laid the lean black
leech upon it. The leech fell to work
bvsily, it's body began to swell. Then,
all of a sudden, a kind of shudder con
vulsed it, and it fell to the floor dead.
That is what your blood did to that
leech," said the physician. He took up
the little corpse between finger and
thumb. Look at it," he said. Quite
dead, you see. You poisoned it."
Il guess it wasn't a healthy leech in
the first place. said the cigarette
smoker sullenly.
And the physician clapped two
leeches on the young mans thin arm.
IF they both die" said the patient,
I'll swear Off-Or, at least, I'll cut
down my daily allowance from 80
cigarettes to TO-
Even as he spoke the smaller leech
shivered and dropped On his knee
dead and a moment later the larger
n fell beside it.
This is CHASTITY" said the young
man. Il am worse than the pestilence
t o these leeches.'
ut is the empyreumatic oil in your
blood" said the medical man. "All
cigarette fiends have it. Smoke rea-
sonably and this oil will disappear,
and you will be no longer deadly to
the leech. Furthermore, your appetite
will return, you will sleep better, and
your muddy color will clear up. Il is
not hard work but hard smoking that
has brought these troubles down on
you"
Doc" said the young man, regard
ing the three dead leeches thought
fully, Il half believe you're right"

A Supplementary Statement.

Old DR.. Ryland, clergyman and edu-
Gator, was greatly beloved in the
south, and his visits were always en-
joyed by his former pupils and parish
toner's. In his later years it was his
custom to offer prayer whenever he
made a ministerial call. On one occa-
sion he called at a house where three
of his former pupils were staying.
These ladies were all past the thirtieth
year mark, but in the eyes of the old
gentleman they were still girls-which
explains the petition he offered:
Lord, bless these dear girls, just
budding into sweet womanhood."
This was too much for one of the
number, who, taking advantage of the
doctors deafness. added this clause,
soto vOce: Alas, Lord, budded,
doomed, faded and still unpicked!"-

copper-head snake. He and the dog

noticed several small snakes that seem

to have gone to his boyhood home in
Indiana, bought the old barn door on
which in youtS he had carved his mi

His "reminiscences must be Of an I'M

the d~rop-curtain to Genes which they

President Buchanan had the mis-
fortune to be in a position which re-
CURED qualities which he did not pos
sesS, yet he had some fine traits. 1t
has recently been disclosed that in
1869 a railroad company sent him
a fass over it's lines He returned
it with the statement that it had
been the practice of his life to pay
his fare because he was opposed to
tho whole system Of granting priv
ileges to persons not connected with
the railroads. 1t has taken more
than 4 years for this feeling to be-
come strong enough to induce con-
gress to prohibit the issuing of passes
on interstate railroads.
