man who has asked for that kind or
tobacco to-day" said the dealer. 1T
Is strange that people from remote
parts of the country as well as New

smoked. And it isn't always the Booth
mixture that they want | have filed
away the formulas for mixing the
favorite tobacco of many famous per-
sons. Smokers the country over have
heard of this collection of recipes and
one feature of every mans trip to
New York is to try pipeful of some
big mans favorite tobacco. In most
cases this special mixture is so
strong that the nerves of the average
smoker cannot stand it. He has TO

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbellet
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds OF doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sell
entists do not fall in this category. for
they are believers in the real sense or
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani"
festations of the Divine creative pow
err Now, those who have disposed OK
the Bible and all evidences of inspfra-
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording TO the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit OF human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.

For two days Wyman had scarcely

For many weeks the irritable mer-
chant had been riveted to his bed by
typhoid fever. Now he was conVa-
lescing. He clamored for something
to eat, declaring that he was starv-

Tomorrow you may have some
thing to eat" promised the doctor.
The merchant realized that there
would be a restraint to his appetite,

wailing cry of agony from out the
thick darkness told the fate of their
first messenger, while Casey, of the
"XIa" crept slowly, painfully back,
with an Indian bullet embedded deep
in his shoulder. Just before the COM

ing a word, calmly turned mp the collar
of his tightly buttoned coat, so as
better to conceal the white collar he
wore. gripped his revolver between his
teeth. and crept like some wriggling

through the dense underbrush In

of divine mercy he was permitted to
