SMOKES MILLION CIGARETTES
Strong Old PeddIer Averaged 60 CYL
inders a. Day During Long
Lifetime.

DUBUQUE. Ia, March Isaac
Manhoff, a peddler, 40 years of age,
who claims to have smaked 1000. 600
cigarettes in his time-an average OF
sixty a day, has now decided to give
ur smoking altogether.
The cigarette habit had such a hold
on him that it was necessary to awake
at all hours of the night and roll and
smoke a coffin naiI' before he could
be lulled to sleep again. When. a
lad in Russia he began the habit
which he found so hard to shake off.
Despite this fact he will devote his
days to trying to convince men and
boys that they should cease the prac-
tice. Manhoff was in the habit of
smoking 10 cigarettes before break
fast, and the rest of the day cigar
cite was out of his mouth only a few
minutes at a time.
For man who has inhaled the
fumes of so many cigarettes. Manhoff
is strong man. He weighs about
LIS pounds, and has massive chest
and a square build. He says: You
see when / awoka in the morning the
first thing 1 wanted was a cigarette.
Generally I smoked about 10 before
breakfast. No, l never smoked while
eating, but as soon as l finished
would p.l one in my mouth. Then
through the day l would smoke them
continuously, one now and anOthe-
shortly after. Then night would come

Parents Pursue Each Other for
Rich Little heiress
TRAVEL $4,000 MILES IN FLIGHT
SMALL DORIS Is CENTER is
SET ON TWO CONTINENTS.

LONDON, April "a pretty, fair
haired child of summers, Australian
born, is the little heroine of a drama
which has its scene of action 10000
miles apart-in Melbourne and in Lon
don.
Her parents have lived in the Vic
tOrian capital. Her mother is a wo-
man of wealth, and the curlyheaded lit
tie child is the heiress of a large for
tune. contingent on either her moth
er's death Or her own coming of age
Parental disagreements have played
for couple of years around this child
of fortune. father and mother contend
ing for her possession, and this strug-
gle of affection has involved two
fights and two pursuits between Eng
land and Australia.
Travels Around World.
The child and her parents have
travelled within the last four years &c.
600 miles.
Once it was the fathers disappear
ance from England with the child,
pursued and recovered by the mother:
next it was the mothers flight from
Australia back to England with the
child, followed across the ocean by
the father, and carried off by him
again; now the ci1ild has vanished for
the third time, and is believed to be
once again in the fathers custody,
while the frustrated mother, who is in
England, is employing all her re-
sources to ascertain their movements
and regain her daughter.
The name of the child is Mabel
Doris Knipe; the name of the father
Roderic Elvard Knipe.
The Woman's Story.
The mother, Mrs. Knipe, called at
the Daily Mail office and outlined the
story, as above stated. 1t was in De-
cember, 1904, that husband and wife
came from Melbourne ON a visit to
England, bringing the child.
1t was while in London that the
husband disappeared with the child
Mrs. Knipe followed to Melbourne, saw
her husband, and it was then arranged
that she should have the child SO long
as she remained in Melbourne.
A few months ago Mrs. Knipe said
she suddenly disappeared from Mel
bourne with the child and came to
London.
Early in January she was told that
her husband had arrived. Then Mrs
Knipe removed to Worthing with the
child, who was sent to the convent
school conducted by the Sisters of
Notre Dame de Lion. Mrs Knipe was
Joined by her mother.
A few days ago, according to Mrs.
Knipe. the child was snatched by a tail
man, carried to a landau in waiting
and driven away.
Since then the mother has heard
nothing of her child. 1t has been as
certained that the vehicle containing
te child was driven to Shoreham rail-
way station, about four miles distant

The Care of Farm Machinery.

There is perhaps no other source of
loss SO great to the average farmer
as that produced by lack of the proper
care of farm machinery. As a gener-
al rule, the prosperity of a farmer
may be estimated by the way az cares
for his machinery. O care indicat-
es shiftlessness, waste, lack of ener-
gy and that the owner must -necessa-
rily buy more tools ald implements
in a short time. Good care, on the
other hand. indicates prosperity, devel
opment, bank deposits and the buying
of less machinery.
The American farmer buys annu-
ally 800, OOO, 900 worth of farm ma
chinery. According to statements
made by different manufacturing com
panies, the farmer would not have to
buy over one-half this amount of ma
chinery providing it received the pro-
per care. A season without shelter
detracts more from the value of farm
machinery than the wear caused by
its use during the same season.
Every owner of machinery should
be able to understand and properly
adjust it. Every implement should be
looked ove carefully before it is u.s.
ed, to see that all bots are frightened
and all moving parts work freely.
Moving parts on new machinery fre-
quently run hard on account of paint
in the bearings. This paint can be ca
silly removed by the use of kerosene,
or one-half kerosene and one-half
machine oil mixed. New machinery
should be carefully examined every
day, as bolts often work loose, or box
es may fit too tightly, causing them to
heat. When the work with a certain
machine has been finished it should
be thoroughly cleaned and all parts
fully wiped with an oiled rag or waste
They should then be stored in a shed
of some kind, rather than left in the
corner of III field or under d tree
where the chickens roost on them.
With good care and housing, an
16O-acre grain farm will last from 12
to 16 years. In comparison with this,
a binder doing no more work, without
extra care or housing, will last BUT
from 5 to s years Records show that
many farmers have kept their tools
in constant use by good care for more
than twice the average life of the ma
chine.
We will assume that a farmer starts
in farming with $1,000 invested in new
machinery, and that il sheltered and
well cared for, it will last ten years,
and if not sheltered, only five years,
If the implements stand out in the

full Mr.. Fletcher is in his
year. All the other subjects tested
are from fifteen to forty years young
er. tests, on chewers and non
chewers, are to follow. Prof. Fisher
emphasizes the fact that he has never
stated any opinion as to the advisab-
ility of chewing meat in particular,
and has taken pains to conine himself
strictly to facts, merely recording the
results of actual experiments. He is
not, as DIR. Wiley is reported to nave
said a vegetarian; neither is Prof.
Chittenden, Prof. Mendel or DIR. An
derson. No experiments have been
made at Yale in the hybrid system of
thorough mastication of cereals com
bined with h boiling of meat. 1t is
up to the advocates of this system
to show that those who practice it
can surpass Mr.. Fletcher in endurance.
DR.. Wiley has repudiated the newspa-
per accounts of his comments on Prof.
Fishers experiment. He merely stat
es that m~eat-eating animals bolt their
food, and cereal-eating animals chew
theirs thoroughly.
But if we humans, who live on a mix
ed diet, must chew our bread and bolt
our ham, what are we going to do with
a ham sandwich?
