When to Lift Your Hat,

In answer to the question, "Please
tell when and where are, or Is. the cor
rect time for gentleman to lift or re-
move his hat" we reply: Without con-
sulting authorities Of etiquette, in fact
giving it to you offhand. so to speak,
we should say at the following times
and on the following occasions, re-
spectIvely, the hat should be lifted or
removed as circumstances indicate:
When hopping the brow, when taking
a bath, when eating, when going to

Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is I'M

or course the town Is also indebted
to the country. but the town cannot
help but pay Its debt. Its very exist

lives most farmers have few peach

from 40 cents to . dollar q bushel,
More than $4,000 was paid for peaches
within three weeks.
That was clear gain which must be

So II a man owns 200 acres within

from the mail order house.
To be sure, the town does not do.

not built for the purpose of philan.

benefit because the town is there; and
he is under actual financial obliga-

A WONDERFUL SAINT.
Kept 100 Women SILL for One Full
Hour.
Havana, Cuba. Cor. Ne,

Havana, Cuba, Cor. New York Herald.
All hail to st. Christopher, the patron
of Havana! He is the most wonderful of
all saints, according to the young women
and the young men of the city, for he
grants three wishes to every ma.den on
November l6 IL they be asked in the first
words she has spoken that day. And the
young men rejoice for the Cathedral Plaza
is filed with the most charming women in
the city early in the morning, and, Won
derful to relate, none of them Is talking.
AS carly as S o'clock in the morning
the women began to gather about the
church doors. A strange silence brooded
over the place. That it was not due en-
tirely to o feelings was evident from
the wonen's bright and laughing eyes.
Not a woman said a word. She could not.
Her mouth was full of water. Cav and
srinnins youths took mean advantage Of
the girls efforts to get the saints favor
One exclaimed as n particularly pretty girl
passed with pulled out cheeks, "Oh, she
is lovely, but what q shame, her eyes arc
crossed!"
The girl swallowed the water ana cried,
They are no such thing and then her
eyes filed with water as she remembered
that she had lost her chances with the
saint for a year.
Most of the several hundred young
women were proof against ali temptat,ors
to talk before entering the church. but
when they got out the plaza sounded like
n particularly wide awake beehive. One
crusty old man remarked that st, Christo-
pher whether he granted wishes or not
was indeed wonderful to have kept SEQ
women still for one hour.
