arsenic and other things in the guise of tobacco
 The first thing that attracted Bel ford's attention that evening when he rode up to his ranch corral was a bunch of his cowboys sitting upon the board gate, each with a rolled cigar cite in his mouth and the strings of a tobacco sack hanging out of his hip pocket They were the very pic ture of cOntentment as they poured wreaths of smoke from their mouths.
 Belford rode up in front of them and silently looked them oYer for a min ute. Should he break the news to them? Would it not be best to let them continue in ignorance of the klnd of stuff they were smoking? Then he thought of the arsenic and opium and decided to tell them about it.
 You are a nice set of hay burners. g he said by way of beginning. The cowboys looked at him in sur prise
 Its q wonder every one of you, and me along with you. have not been locoed from using arsenic and opium, g he continued
 The cowboys were aroused by this time They demanded to know what he meant by his insults.
 q mean that that tobacco which we've all been smoking is mostly al falfa, arsenic and opium, and I've got the document here to prove it."
 Mir. Belford then read the analysis Of the tobacco from his seat in the saddle When he had finished the cowboys solemnly threw away their cigarettes and emptied their sacks of tobacco upon the ground. I guess the cattle will eat the stuff." one of them said
 q have always heard that alfalfa is one of the most fattening things there is,' said another. Its no wonder that Tim Hull is hefty: he has been almost living on his tobacco"
 There was a big laugh at the ex- pense of Hull.
 "I think I'll start me an alfalfa farm over here in the Nueces River bottoms" he said. q can get along without the arsenic and opium. but I must have my alfalfa regularly.
 The news of the character of the tobacco which they had been smoking spread rapidly from ranch to ranch and created stir almost equal to the excitement of the roundup. The abandonment of the smoking habit is general.
 All sorts of substitutes are being used The dried leaves of varIous plants and shrubs take the place of the adulterated tobacco with many. Others are striving to give of the to- bacco-smolxing habit entirely.
 The plan of growing tobacco for home use is to be tried by number of ranchmen and other people in this section. They say that by raising the leaf they will be assured of its purity

TELLS COWBOYS THEY SMOKE
 ALFALFA
pr. Wiley Causes Distress In Texas Neighborhood with Little Pamphlet on Cigar etteS-Hay 63 Per Cent,

UvaLDE. Tex. May 29.-Doetog Wiley and the United States pure food Jaw have played havoc with to- bacco smoking in this part of Texas. The habits of the cowboys have been revolutionized by an innocent-lOoking little pamphlet issued recently by the Government It contains the analysis of various products in general use, and among them a popular brand of smoking tobacco, which is much used throughout the Southwest.
 When Jim Belford came in from his ranch to get his mail the other day he found a copy of the pamphlet in his box. It had been sent to him by his old friend Major Nose Harris, of San Antonio, Deputy nited States h. ternaI Revenue Collector for this dis tIict Major Harris had written upon the front left of the pamphlet.
 This will tell you what kind of stuff we have been smoking
 Mir. Belford took the pamphlet over to the store and glanced through it while his order for ranch supplies vas being filled The composition of the brand of tobacco smoked by almost every man in this region was given as follows: Tobacco, 27 per cent; al falfa, 6 per cent; arsenic, 6 per cent; opium, l per cent; fluid, 3 per cent
 Gould 1t be true that he had been smoking alfalfa? And to think that what he had supposed was pure to- bacco also contained arsenic and opium, He read the anal"sis over a second time. Then he arose and walked over to the counter where the storekeeper was fixing up the goods he had bought.
 Bill, put me up about three pounds of alfalfa. mixed with arsenic and opium and little tobacco thrown in, = he said.
 Bill Jenkins stared at Belford in amazement
 What's the matter of you Jim You know l don't keep any of them things en sale except tobacco he said T did have a few bales of alfal- ia hay last summer, but 1t didn't pay to carry 1t. so quit"
 --Oh, yes. you do sell all of them and you have got them in stock right now.r Belford replied. T want you to read this document
 Jennings read the tobacco analysis and announced forthwith that he did not believe a word of it. It took Bel ford some little time to convince him that the analysis had been officially made and must be correct
 What am I going to do with all the stuff I have on hand2' Jennings in- quired.
 Judging from the amount of alfalfa in it it ought to make good cattle feed" Belford suggested You'll be in luck If you ain't mobbed by some of the cowboys when they hear that you've been selling them alfalfa and

SHERIFF'S MOUSE SAVED SPIES
 WOE
Nina Van Zandt, Married By Proxy to Anarchist Sued for Divorce. by Husband on Cruelty Grounds,

CHICAGO, May 29.-Rose \. Ma lato, who as Miss Nina Van Zandt fig ured as the bride" in a proxy mar riage with August Spies, the aGarch- ist, who was executed twenty years ago for participation in the Hay market tragedy. was yesterday sued for divorce by Stephen a Malato. The grounds alleged are cruelty, desertiOn. infidelity and degeneracy. Mir Ma lato is a former member of the Illinois legislature and is an attorney with offices in the Ashland Block He is young and when he married Miss Van Zandt in 1891 had not heard of her famous proxy marriage" with An archist Spies. In fact. he could, not talk English and asserts that he was fascinated with Miss Van Zandt, not only Un account of her natural charms. but because of her ability as a lin- guist. She talked Italian perfectly.
 The suit was filed in the Superior Court and created more than ordinary interest. Nearly all of the habitues ot the criminal court building, and par tIcularly the older lawyers, remem- bered the beautiful Nina Van Zandt and her sensational courtship of Spies, the doomed anarchist.
 Consequently the reasons set forth in the divorce bill were scanned with eageTness. Among the mdignities which. according to Attorney Malato, were escaped by Spies through having been hanged are:
 In May. 1903. Mrs Van Zandt Ma lato assaulted her husband and struck him with a washbOard.
 In the spring of the next year she hit him in the face with her first.
 A little later in the same year she banged him over the head with a water pitcher.
 June 1, 1901, just before Malato ceased living with her, she went after him with broom.
 In September of the same year, after the separation. Mrs. Malato en- countered her husband and assaulted him with a carving knife and threat ened to kill him.
 Mrs. Malato, who now lives in two dingy rooms at 102 Halsted street, and is said to be an instructor, also Is charged with being sloyenly: with being overly fond of salacious French "literatureD and of being devoted to dogs.
 MaiaO III HIS DiIl states ma on one occasion his wife had five dogs in the house and that she threatened him several times with prosecution on various serious charges if he attempt ed to drive the pets away or to hurt them.
 Attorney Malato declares the limit was reached when his wife insisted on having one of the dogs sleep with her in bed.
 q could not stand for that" said the lawyer, and slept on the sofa, or tried to-, with my clothes on"

FIRE INSURANCE Insurance
 Is Indemnity

The insured or his repre- sentative Is indemnified in whole or in part, for financial loss, by the contract of in- surance.
 insurance removes vent ures and values from the sphere of chance.
 The property owner who does not insure takes chances. He ganibles great odds against small premiums.
 Insurance, in a large de- gree, substitutes certainly for bility to all forms of business, which otherwise would suffer frequent demoraiization thereof.
 insurance is contract. 1t is not a sentimental promise.
 The policy is a printed and written evidence of an agree rnent between the parties and this agreement the in. sured must be prepared to abide by, however different his memory of 1t may be. The Insured therefore should es- anime his policy as soon as he receives it, to ascertain # 1t corresponds with his pre- vious agreement. if a mis- take Is discovered, a demand for correction should be made at once.
