Tobacco and Crime.

The Duluth News-Trtbune INDUCES
in a panegyric on tobacco and attempts
to prove that it is not a bad habit,
but rather conducive of high moral
sentiment, peace of mind and all the
other attributes which imply good will
to men.
To make good this rather bold as
sertion it declares that good smokers

respects they may be considered by
some as bad men who yield to q de-

who smoked Ito the glory of God"
doubtless used the best kind of tobae-
co. If ne wrote with pipe In mouth his
sermons We're probably symbols of
peace and breathed an air of content

The inference is that criminals, if
they really smoke at all. confine them
selves either to cigarettes or bad to-
bacco.

FATHER OF ALFALFA.

Under a Topeka dateline comes the
announcement in a fve-line dispatch
that Harrison Parkman, who first
brought alfalfa from South America
and planted it in the United States, is
dead, aged 73 years With this simple
statement is dismissed the life of a
man who was truly public benefactor
The old saying is true that He who
makes two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before, is public bene-
factor" What could be proper meas
ure of the benefacation conferred by a
man who made the Western desert
once as bare as a mans hand, bloom
with verdure?
Alfalfa has proven to be the saliva
ton in a material way of the farmers
of western Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado
New Mexico and Arizona-in brief, of
all the vast section of country which
was formerly described in the geogra-
phies as the Great American Desert"
1t is the one sure crop that saves the
farmers in that region from ruin. The
brave and hardy spirits who first es-
sayed the task of converting this bare
and arid soil to mans uses encountered
hardships that tried mems souls to the
privations besides which those of the
argonauts and the arctic explorers
seem almost like petty trials. But
gradually they overcame obstacles that
seemed insurmountable, and today all
that once arid country blossoms like
the rose with rich returns for mans
labor. In achieving this wonderful
triumph over nature alfalfa was the

Brigham Young and Third leg.

'Tnnumerable are the stories illus
trating his CYoung's) native wit and
versatility. 1t is said that one day a
Welshman with one leg had been con
verted on the promise that Brigham
would cause new leg to grow. He
reached Sale Lake. and Forthwith pre-
sented himself at the Zion House Of
fce.' and was confronted by the great
man.
And so you want a new leg, do
your said Brigham. Well. I can give
it to you. but remember that all the
attributes you have in this life will be
resurrected at the last day. Now you
have already had two legs. and if 7
create for YOU a third, then in eternity
you will be like monstrosity, and will
have three legs. Besides. you are al
ready old, and can not live much long
er. Choose. therefore. between a new
leg here and three in heaven.

to try to be content with one leg here
that he might have two only here
after. weeEEn

NEW YORK LETTER


New York, Jan. 3.-Professionalism
still prevails in the stock market. The
trading has dwindled a great deal IN
the past week. Early prices showed
sharp declines in two or three special
ties, particularly Reading which open
ed off almost two points, the opening
price of this stock, however, was the
lowest of the day. The Frick con-
tingent again came to the support OF
their speciality and bid for large lots
of Reading in order to stem the tide.
After this was accomplished and the
price had been boosted up close TO 1874.
they sold literally, pursuing the same
milking process as heretofore. At the
close tonight Reading shows little
change from yesterday regardless Of
all it's fluctuations.
Liquidation in the Hartman stocks
was on a larger scale than for some
time past. The selling is probably bas-
ed on fears that the investigation
which is now in progress will have a
depressing influence upon prices. Union
Pacific scored new low record on this
bearish movement, selling down from
179 at the opening to 1T IA, closing
a shade higher than the lowest prices.
There was a perceptible case in the
call loan money market today. The
highest rates obtaining right at the
opening of the stock market when
large loans were made as high as II
per cent. Later after the trade had
been fairly well supplied, money could
be borrowed for four per cent.
The market generally closed irregu-
lar, about the only stock on the list
showing particular weakness was the
Hartman shares.

wages and Living.

The New York World has shown
that all the advance OF wages has not
overtaken the advance OF prices. In
commenting on this It quotes the Ar
mours as saying that IS per cent of
the demand is of % per cent of the
steer; that is. that nothing but the
best will be accepted. The World con-
tinues:
Back OF all disquieting statistics is
the fact that the American people live
better than they ever did before. The
advance has been constant for years.
Better clothes are worn-clothes have
not become proportionately so dear as
food-and the standard of household
comfort is greater. This Is true even
in New York where the Increase of
rentals, owing to local congestion. is
abnormal as compared with increases
elsewhere. When all suggested al
lowances have been made. however,
a general cost of living which is the
highest known in twenty-five years is
of serious import. 1t handicaps the
wake-worker despite his fatter pay en-
velopes. 1t affects more seriously those
many persons. widows, children and
invalids, whose dependence is upon
the income OF trust funds, resources
slender and not susceptible of increase
for the emergency. 1t affects all sal
aired classes, whose incomes are prac-
tically stationary, whether fixed by law
or custom No period OF prosperity
ever approached permanency. If the
cost of living pinches in a time of
plenty, when nearly everybody is en-
Played, how will it be when the lean
years come?
