In regard to the word "hobo"
there seems to be wide range of
opinion. The occupant of cell sc
claimes that it originated in Hobo
ken, New Jersey; the man in 233
says the word is a very common
onein the Mohammedian language;
Mr.. "Salt and Supersalt" disclaims
all knowledge of the word in be-
half of Great Britain, and says
it is derived from the French;
while the man in 295 says the
word came from Ireland. It is
likely that the Chinese have used
the word "hobo" long before the
time Julius Caesar was engaged in
teaching the Gauls good manners.
We were not aware that so many
OF the detained were so we'll posted
on this word. In the face of all

whats that stuff" I asked. Bob
cast glance at me and replied:
Young man that is the material
for the manufacture of the only
brand of smoking and chewing to-
bacco worthy of mention-Coles'
Best. For a long time I've been
concentrating my mind on the
matter reproducing a grade of to-
bacco which would prove efficient
as tonic Tor the system, source
of inspiration for our would-be
literati, remedy for bodily ills,
and at one and the same time be a
harmless narcotic. After various
experiments [ have succeeded be.
yond my most sanguine expecta-
tons. As tonic it is unquestion.
ably superior to any concoction
the prison physician may prepare.
AS an illustration: In the insane
ward is a man who has been men,
tally unbalanced for years. Now,
after using one dozen plugs of
Coles Best he
"He what?" I asked.
'Isn't any BETTER" said Bob;
then continued: cts great stuff
all right. Why, if it we're not for
this tobacco do you imagine Null
doom could produce such creations?
F. M. usually imbibes very freely
before he starts to jot down Hello
grams. @. A. Y. became so thor
oughly aware of his indebtedness
to my brand that we gave him
position in the storeroom so he
may be continually thinking. When
l put him to withdrawing the in
terror OF my apartment [ was sur
prised to note that he was con-
stantly suggesting that the tobacco
factory needed several coats of
whitewash. Of course, I under
stood-but said nothing.
"Again, there's Erid he tells me
every day that my tobacco contains
wonderful soul-stirring qualities
for inspiration. Thus 1 might con-
tinue, but suffice it to say that all
of our local pen-pushers recognize
the value and true worth of Coles
Best-they all use it.
Another point worthy of men,
ton is that until I began to serve
you fellows with the home product
we were at loss for music. To-
day our local aggregation of must
clans are comparable to Susies's
band-'Susie of Old V1ncennes.'
You see they are permitted to idle
(?) for couple of hours in their
respective shops, chewing, then
called out to band practice. The
opportunity to chew before band
practice creates an overplus of en-
ergy which is utilized by filing
the air with music. It's great
stuff!'
1T is also remedy you said"
81 did! However, as to it's effici-
ency as remedy for bodily ills I
deem it advisable to keep this fact
quiet; but, for poor appetite, de-
ranged digestion, sallow complex
ion, weak vitality and nervous
debility you dissolve three ounces
in carbolic acid and rub thoroughly
into a six-foot plank; place the
plank in a sunny spot, lie on it
three hours and I positively guar
antee permanent relief. If you are
troubled with the blues secure
four ounces of my pl,,g-cut and
cut it up fine, place in bowl, pour
milk over it and season with salt

for the first time in one hundred
and seventy-two years, the prose-
cutting attorney having closed all
the wet-goods parlors for keeps.
and great is the lamentations of
the old timers who are now beset
with an abnormal thirst.
When the gong sounds in the
morning l am reminded of story
[ once heard of little boy who
was told by his mother to repeat
his morning prayer. kneeling ut
his mothers knees, the little chap
asked: Mamma, shall I say my
prayer ornurse'sp rayer? Mamma
being wise in her day and genera
ton and wishing to know as much
as possible of what was going on
replied: "Say nurses prayer, dear"
Whereupon the little man solemn
ly closing his eyes and clasping
his hands began: Lord! O Lord!
have I got to get up?"
How have the mighty fallen!
Just few weeks after the awful
earthquake at San Francisco the
country rang from end to end with
praises of her mayor who as an un-
tried man, had risen to the occa-
sion and was rapidly bringing
order out of chaos; today that
mayor stands before the world
discredited, shorn of his laurels
and power and in few more
weeks at best he will join the army
of the detained at San Quentin
there to be permitted to reflect on
the uncertainties and vicissitudes
Of life.
Recently the Japanese cabinet
called in the editors of that coun-
try and told them to cease pub
fishing articles bearing on the
American situation. The editors
meekly took their orders and went
back to their sanctums, and have
obeyed the Injunction. l wonder
what would happen if our presi-
Dental cabinet should follow the
same course. Would not the
eruption of Mount Pelee fade to
nothingness? In addition to gil
gantic upheaval of editorial vitrol
there would be at least fifteen
deaths from apoplexy.
[ read the other day of a
banker who pleaded guilty to the
charge of making false reports to
the comptroller; that he misapplied
funds; drew drafts without author
ity; made false entries and "ab-
stracted" (good word) funds. If
there is anything else banker
could be guilty of l an unable to
say what it is, but this man says
he did these things to ''save the
bank" This bank certainly need
ed Saving" in some way. The
court sent him to Leavenworth for
five years which means three years
and eight months solid, so certain
ly, even tho he did err grievously,
his punishment will be sufficient.
The anthropologist sets up the
claim that there is a connection
between the details of the skull of
human being and his personality.
| can remember when people used
to believe in phrenology; that by
tracing the bumps and depressions
in mans head fair outline Of
his character could be had. These
later years have pretty generally
exploded this theory aItho it still
has it's followers. There can be no
doubt, however, that ones thoughts
and habits of life leave their i'm.

A Tragedy of RESEMBLANCE.

A curious case of mistaken identity
is recalled by the visit of the prime
minister to Glasgow, says Reynolds
newspaper. When Peel and Lord
Aberdeen accompanied the queen and
prince consort to Scotland, 60 odd
years ago, Peel had double who was
not his double in any physical partlcu-
lar. 1t happened that when he drove
1t was always in the royal carriage or
that of Lord Aberdee... His own con-
veyance was in attendance. but occu-
pied on each journey by Edward
Drummond, his private secretary.
The latter. therefore, was regarded
by the ignorant as the prime minister
himself The mistake proved tragic.
When Drummond returned to London
there returned also fanatic who had
an imaginary grievance against the
premier Meeting Drummond in
Whitehall and still believing him to
be Peel. he shot him dead.
