Chew What You Know About and
Know What You Are Chewing

There is real pleasure in chewing
the best tobacco grown-where the
best tobacco groWs-in the famous
Piedmont Country.
Only choice selections of this
well-matured and thoroughly cured
tobacco is used in making
SCHNAPPs. That'swhy scHNAPPS
and others of the Reynolds brands,
as shown by the Internal Revenue
statistics for a fiscal year, made the
wonderful growth of six and one
quarter million pounds, or a net
gain of one-tf1ird Of the entire
increased consumption of chewing
and smoking tobaccos in the United
States.
Evidently, ctewers cannot resist
thefavor and they cheer SCFINAPPS
because SCE4NAPPS cheers them
more than any other chewing to-
bacco, and every man that chews
SCHNAPPS passes the good thing
along one chewer makes other
chewers until the fact is now es-
tablished that there are many more

The sheriff of Madison, RRrislh. y IS
called on recently TO arrest q negro
who had previously snapped pistol
at j. n. Harvey, and the latter, with a
baker named Miller, accompanied the
sheriff for the ostensible purpose of
aiding in the Identification and appre-
hension of the culprit. A news de-
spatch from Tallulah says: I'm making
the arrest MIR. Harvey struck the ne
gro, when his pistol exploded and the
ball struck Miller just above the collar
bone on the left side of his neck,
passed through near the spinal column
and came out at the right shoulder.
The poor man is not expected to live. u
A brief biographical sketch of the
hapless victim is given, closing with
the naive statement that 1.-THE accident
is deeply regretted, and by none more
than MIR. Harvey Il does not an.
pear what right Mr.. Harvey had to
strike q sheriff s prisoner with a re-
volver, nor what necessity existed for
such an overt proceeding, but no
doubt the unfortunate baker derived
great consolation in his dying mo-
ments and the conscience OF his slayer
was duly eased by the fact that the
latter deeply regretted the so@calied
accident. What further expiation than
this amende honorable could be de-
siredS

chewers and pounds Of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are In the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
vet been offered to the trade.
sCF4NAPPS is like a cup OF fine
lava coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCT4NAPPS p1eases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really p1eases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, slim
ulating favor SO appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPs. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco innprop-
erly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco S sake, there is no chew
like SCE4NAPPS.

The resolution to unseat Senator
Reed Smoot OF Utah was defeated in
the national senate on the 10th instant
by vote of % yeas to AZ nays. The
debate on the resolution was closed by
Senator Smoot, who made a strong
speech in his own defense, denying
that he had ever violated the anti poly
gamy laws or taken any church VOW
inconsistent with his oath and duty as
a senator. The outcome of this long,
pending contest is entirely in accord
with justice and fair play, according
to our way of thinking.

We agree with Harlequin that the
Louisiana press ought to give less
attention to the Thaw nastiness in
New York and more to the Favrot case,
which is far more important and nearer
home in every sense. Long-distance
moralizing and denunciation of far
away crime is always much easier
than to right the wrongs and attack
the offenses committed at our own
doors and by our nearby neighbors,
and hence it is that many of the news
papers that are freest in their COM
ments on the Thaw- White murder in
New York are most reticent and clam
like with regard to the Favrot- Aldrich
assassination al Baton Rouge.

To Young Housekeepers

Nothing is much nobler
than the desire for knowledge
nothing much shabbier than
low curiosity. What does it
signify to us what others do
or have, and why cannot we
leave them and theirs alone?
No one in the world likes to
be watched and pried after,
and it does not seem very
difficult to do to our neigh
bOrs in this matter as we
would they should do ito us.
This curiosity is the great sin of
small societies. For want of more
healthy outlet Of the dramatic in
stinct with which we are all born,
the jewellers in confined localities
turn5upon each other. like so many
spiders in tumpler, and try to
make the real starvation of this in
stinct by the false nourishment Of

These thoughts flashed one after the
other in his mind while the train was
speeding through the tunnel. lie Roy
held the two hands in his despite fran
tic efforts to get them away till this
last supposition occurred to him. Then
suddenly he released his grasp.
In ten or fifteen seconds more the
train shot out Of the tunnel. LIE Roy
at once examined the faces Of his fell
low passengers. The man was looking
out Of the window, with his back turn
ed, so that his features were not yisi-
BILE. The girl looked trife dustered,
though not so much so but that LIE Roy
thought he might have attributed her
appearance to his own imagination.
The young woman opposite sat with
her book ON her lap and raised it the
moment the train ran out into the
light She seemed to be breathing
quickly, but LIE Roy was not sure but
this, too, was an appearance created
by his Imagination. He turned his
gaze from one to the other In uncer-
tainty. The train rolled on; the man
continued to look out of the window;
the girl leaned her head back in a
cushioned corner and closed her eyes;
the young woman opposite turned page
after page. lie Roy was so interested
in watching and studying them that
for time he forgot to feel for his
pOcketbook. When he did he found
that 1t was safe. and glance assured
him that the bills were inside.
In perhaps ten minutes after the In
cident the train entered the outskirts.
Of a town. The young woman opposite

CRAZED WITH WEALTH.
Mad Days In Melbourne When the

Gold threatened to become as COM

Golden Point made as much as f400

lucky party unearthed thirty four
pounds Of gold in one day. No wonder
that such pockets" were termed Jew

worth 100000 was unearthed. The re-
suit of this sudden influx Of wealth,
almost without labor and with risks
which are infinitesimal as compared
with Klondike, was the Temporary de-
moralization Of the population. Mel

Some Of their fantastic tricks would
scarcely be credited were they not at
tested by witnesses still living. The
game Of ninepins, we are told. was
played with bottles of champagne, for
which he who broke the least had to
pay. Dozens Of the same costly wine
were emptied into tubs and drunk
from tin, pannikins, spirits and beer
being added to give "body" to the bev-
erage. One man, in imitation of Calig-
MA, shod his horse with gold. Sand
wiches made Of bank notes were de-
v6ured. Silver wrapped up in bank
notes was thrown to popular actresses
instead of flowers. In fact money was

They thought they had only to dig a
few. feet in the earth to get plenty

as if this were so. Such were some of

Inches of Time.

Beware of losing or wasting inches
of time. They are the little foxes
that run away with many days. So
much can be done in them and with
them, often the very things for
which we sigh hopelessly. Fill them,
every one. Keep something handy
something that fits the interval.
Remember a famous lawbook was
written because a lord chancellor
chose not to be idle throughout the
fifteen minutes his wife made him
wait. each day for dinner. Recall,
too, all the men, noble and eminent,
who have climbed to the heights by
saving inches of time. All of us
cannot hope to become likewise en-
inent, but we can reasonably and
easily make ourselves happy with
things wrought in the fragmentary
moments which we might unthrift-
ily leave vaca-t Delinaat tor.
