General Winfield Scott was RESPONSE
BILE for tin foil being wrapped around
tobacco. That fact came out in the
legal contest over the will Of the &C.
centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John
Anderson. Early in the forties of the
last century Mr.. Anderson kept a pop
ular cigar store on Broadway Felix
McClosky, for many years the tobac-
conist's salaried companion and agent,
testified that one day. In 1S43 he
thought, General Scott came into the
store and asked Anderson If he
couldn't devise some way Of keeping
tobacco SO 1t would not be affected by
age and changes In climates. Ander-
son thought about 1t and shortly after
hit upon the plan Of wrapping cigars
and chewing tobacco in tin foil, there
by keeping the tobacco moist for a
long time. His tin foil covers became
popular, and his preserved tobacco was
much in demand during the Mexican
war and the California gold rush,
swelling his business to enormous pro-
portions and soon making him a multi
millionaire.

An Old Time ouaek.


In the right hands It is poor root
that will not work both ways An old
quack doctor, according to the Wash
lngton correspondent Of the Boston
Herald, was once called to see a boy
who had chills and fever.
He proceeded to scratch the bark of
a root and put some in one glass Of
water and some in another glass Of
water.
"Give the medicine in this glass for
the chills," he then said to the lads
mother, "but give this in the other
glass when the fever comes on"
But, DOCTOR" the mother protested,
at is exactly the same in both glass
es."
"Oh, not at ALL" declared the quack.
But / saw you sorape the bark of
the same root and put 1t in each
glass"
"Yes," admitted the quack smoothly,
"but you didn't see how l did 1t, my
dear lady. This for the chills / scrape
up on the root, and that makes 1t high
cockalorum. This for the fever
scrape down on the root, and that
makes 1t low cockahighrum."

The Nine Tailor Saw,

The tailor-he was a cutter at a big
salary-sighed as he looked about his
luxurious apartment.
"She refused me-" he said. "Why?
Because she didn't love me2 No. Be-
cause Of that old saw about its TAX
ing nine tailors to make man. And

have corrupted that into nine tailors

Manaoina Small saiIboats.

1t Is quite trick to lower main
sail properly. In the first place, the
hoops should be just large enough
not SO large, however, that the sail
does not set close to the mast. Lower
the throat first and follow 1t with the
peak. If the peak is dropped first,
says a writer in Country Life In Amer
lea, the sail will not come down. 1t
goes without saying that the sail must
be shaken when you want to lower
1t. To lower n centerboard when I'M
der way put the helm up and keep the
boat off. A small boat can be stop
ped by putting the helm up and down
across the boat quickly. This Is use
full in coming up to a dock or moor
ing. A boat can be got out Of stays
by dropping her peak and then hoist
ing 1t when she is under way. An
other way is to put the helm down,
slack the main sheet and let her drift
back; then trim her quickly and she
will sail away. Always go to the lee
side Of dock. When boat is towed
make sure that 1t has a good painter,
especially at night.

A Comprehensiva Word.

The word "vermin" seems to have
become exceedingly comprehensive in
scope now that the society which is
devoted to the destruction of such
creatures has included not only rats,
mice, cockroaches and such small deer
among them, but even cats, dogs, spar
rows and canaries, on the gIpund that
all these transmit disease to man. By
derivation Natin "vermis') vermin
ought to mean only worms and the
like, in which literal sense Tennyson
writes Of the 'vermin In nut" But
the term has constantly been loosely
applied to all sorts of Objectionable
animals, from crocodiles to foxes.
Purchas told Of the people of Java
how they feed on cats, rats and other
vermins," and Izaak Walton denounc-
ed those base vermin, the offers"

The colonel had demonstrated vigor-
ously with Uncle Eph about the old
darky's persistent excursions into the
state Of inebriation. Uncle Eph,
though he promised faithfully to re-
frain from frequent dips into the flow

casions the colonel saw Eph under the
influence of liquor, but the darky when
taken to task stoutly denied the ac-
cusatlon, affirming emphatically that
he did not drink. One evening the
colonel met Uncle Eph in a condition
which made 1t plainly evident that
the darby was "caught with the goods

TEXAN THINKS THE MURDERED
MAN IS HIS SON

That the man murdered near Rush
Springs a week ago is his son is the
belief Of W. R. Cooper of Cleburne.
Tex, who arrived in the city last
night and at once went to the Kreitz
undertaking rooms to view the re-
mains.
Owing to the fact that the face was
disiigured by injuries, Mr.. Cooper was
not positive, although he has little
doubt that it is his boy. The weight.
height, clothing and general features
were identified and Mr.. Cooper also
said the hnife and pipe found at the
scene of the killing looked like those
his son had.
The name Of Mr. Coopers son was
James Albert, and not Charley, as
given by the victim in his semi-con-
scious state before death The boy
also said his fathers name was
