Isaac ManhofI, Of Dubuque, De-
cides He Has Had Enough
and Quits Using Them.

Dubuque, Ia.-With a record Of
nearly 100000 cigarettes, at an av-
erage of 60 day. Isaac Manhon. a
peddler 40 years old. has decided to
renounce the weed. The habit had
such a hold on him that it was neces-
sary to awake. at all hours Of the
night and roll a coffin nail' before
he could be lulled to sleep again.
When lad in Russia he began the
habit which he found SO hard to shake
OF. Despite this fact he will devote
his days to trying to convince men
and boys that they should cease the
practice. Manhoff was in the habit
OF smoking ten cigarettes before
breakfast, and the rest of the day a
cigarette was out of his mouth only
few minutes at time.
For a man who has inhaled the
fumes of SO many cigarettes Manhoff
is strong man. He weighs about
ITS pounds, and has massive chest
and square build He says: You
see. when l awoke in the morning the
first thing l wanted was cigarette.
Generally 1 smoked about ten before
breakfast. No, never smoked while
eating, but as soon as / finished I
would put one in my mouth. Then
through the day l would smoke them
continuously, one now and another
shortly after. Then night would

Daughter Of Wealthy British Contract
or Labors Among the Poor.

Elkhart, Ind.-Mrs. Howard James
Clifford. wife of the Salvation army
ensign who has been assigned to the
Indianapolis field, is the daughter of
a wealthy contractor of London Eng
land. This fact, which was kept Sc
cret from the husband until recently.
became public few days ago. The
husband first learned Of his wife's
prominence and wealth while on trip
abroad. Mrs. Cliftord's father was SO
generous in paying the expenses of
the trip and providing them with en-
tertainment that the truth dawned
upon the ensign.
Ensign and Mrs. Clifford have been
in Elkhart two years and have won
innumerable friends by their persist
ent, modest and incessant labors in
novels and slums, and upon the
streets. Mrs. Clifford is tireless and
able assistant in the work.
Ensign Clifford is a native of Charl-
bury, village near Oxford. England.
He has been in the United States
about Ave years. One Of the first sac
rifices that he made upon entering the
Salvation army in his native country
was that of personal liberty. He was
Imprisoned for time during the bit
ter persecution which the army suf-
fered in the early years OF its warfare
in England.

Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had

Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Origin In Wisdom.
II you are patient enough to ferret
1t out you will find that there is a rea-
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have. for every queer thing we do.
Take. for example. the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline. crepe and
lace? 1t Is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss Of
dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without single spear of hair ON their
heads. but OF course 1t was most un-
attractive for women. No one. not
even a Roman matron, liked to be
seen bald-headed, SO the women Of
the Tiber devised little cap to hide
their badness, and thus the custom
has come down to US. even though
heads are no,ionger shaved as q sign.
of mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll
ing was first established. the people
Thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who how
cred near the dead.
Why do men, and women. too, wear
bows ON the left side OF their hats?
The reason Is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
of hats of to-day was first introduced
it was ornamented with ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder These ends were
a sort Of anchor, or safety line. and.
were put there expressly to be seized
when sudden gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because, as a
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were kndtted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut on quite. close to
the hat, 20 that they form q very
small and stin bow knot.
1t y always the custom to throw old
shoes after q bride and this queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were n the habit OF using their slip
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slipper Ii not really
intende1 for the bride. but for the
brideerocm. who II supposed to ase
it for tho same purpose the mother
and fsflser of5caAen times did.

And let us speak a word for Mr..
Printer Man also. He is a part OF
this community; he contributes to its
prosperity; he advertises 1t. and he is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol
lars are to circulate. When you. Mr..

The battle against the mail-order
octupus can never be successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged in 1t. It can never be sue
cessful SO long as the merchant wants
1t preached but does not want to prac.
tice 1t himself. The merchant who
sends his saving account to the city
bank for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support Of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy
ing his own household supplies, sup
plies that are not carried on his own
shelves. of the city merchants, is not
entitled to the support OF the com
munity. Such merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's
dollars, just what he condemns in
others-send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt the
community for selfish interests.
There are few. If any. such mer-
chants As this in this or other com
munities. but II there are any here it
Is not for their beneflt that this pa
per is preaching home trade to its
readers.
We hear much Of the strength Of
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To a large
extent in the, fat that they control
the trade in the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an interest earn
ing dollar. Let rs form q little trust
Of our own. Let all Of us, merchant,
farmer. doctor. mechanic, preacher,

keep them at home. and We have or

The bill was introduced by Speaker
Roman Liberato Baca of the house,
who is a descendant OF one of the OLD.
est native families in the southwest
and whose ancestors helped to bulli
the old palace.
At present section OF the old pa,
ace is rented by the territory to the

ciety also has valuable collection

Several rooms have been used by pa.

headquarters.
The old governors palace has been
the scene of action, martial and politi.
cal. for centuries and could be pre-.
served indefinitely. The history OF
the southwest is interviewer about the

Indian governors and warriors,
Spanish and American governors and
soldiers have In turn used the old pal
ace as headquarters. The histories
OF the murders. assassinations. fights
and councils that have been held with.

1t is probable that when the bill

much of the history of the ancient
