LEWIS "sINeLE BINDER"

A handmade cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil. thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made Of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are SO rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis Single Binder Straight
&c. Lewis Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other sc cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many limitations; don't be
fooled. There is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want Lewis Single
Binder"

poc'O WeII.Earned Monument.

Near the hospice of st. Bernard
Switzerland, is monument to Barry
one of the dogs, which always inter
ests tourists. This animal died some
years ago, and a writer in the Wide
World Magazine tells his story: Dur
ing the ten years he was at the hos
pice he saved the lives Of 40 persona
who had lost their way in the snow.
On one occasion he found child, ten
years old, lying in the snow under tho
influence Of the fatal slumber which
precedes death. The dog warmed the
child with its breath, and then reused
1t from sleep by licking it. This much
accomplished, Barry, by lying down
on its side, gave the child an obvious
invitation to get upon its back and
ride. The child did so, and was thus
carried to the monastery. Barry was
killed by some unknown person, prob.
ably in mistake" The inscription on
the monument is: BARRY. the heroic.
Saved the lives Of 40 persons, and was
killed by the forty-hrst."

Consumption among Japanese labor
ers is increasing to such degree that
the figures are becoming source Of
anxiety to Japanese merchants and Of
fcials. A large percentage Of labor
ers who are sent back to Japan by
the Japanese charity associations are
consumptives. 1t is claimed by the
Japanese newspapers comenting on
this matter that through the lack OF
hospital accommodations in the jap
anese labor camps tuberculosis In
creases at an alarming rate. They
suggest that a new system be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick In
these camps, as the Japanese are

which swept over her and filled her hull.
The Seward had anchored off Bass Riv-
erstSaturday night. During the night the
heavy easterly gale broke her port an
Ghor chain. So fierce was the gale that
the remaining anchor was of little use
and the vessel was blown 20 miles across
Vineyard Sound, bringing up on the north
shore of this island about noon yesterday.
surf boat was sent out from shore and
rescued the captain and crew, who were
taken to the home of a resident of that
vicinity and cared for. During last night

heavy sea in the bay. The gale at Block

by torrents of rain. Several fishermen $
shantes were demolished, number of
cottages were damaged and one cottag &c
