In His Philosophy Of Life,
Clothes Are Unnecessary and
Food Is Merely a Fancy.
From The Sioux CITY Tribune

From The Sioux City Tribune.
Incessant trailing of the tracks Of
h traction company by day that he
might pick up whatever small change
dropped from cars, and the searching
of garbage cans in alleys with clock
like regularity by night for cast off
bottles and other junk. is the chosen
profession OF Jack Aaron. one of the
many confirmed dope aends Of Sioux
City.
The figure of Aaron is a conspicuous
one. Every day he a be seen fol-
lowing the a tracks from n end of
the lines to the other, his shoulders
stopped, his head bent forward and his
eyes shifting from one side Of the
tracks to the other in his scare for

winnip.s A. i. Seaport.
From New York American

AOAA ANSW 4OIA american.
Rather odd, isn't it, to think OF Win
ntpeg, the geographical center Of North
America as q seaport? And yet the
thing looks as II it would soon be an
accomplished fact. In order to UNDER
stand its possibility we must stan
away from the customary view Of
Central Canada's capital. Chief En-
gineer Armstrong reports, as the re-
suit Of a survey begun last October.
that q few locks in the Red river be.
tween the city Of Winnipeg and the
lake Of that name, and a few more
along the rapids Of Nelson river, would
enable vessels to steam from Liyer-
pool or London or any European port
into the docks Of Manitoba's capital.
There is, Of course, the adverse fact
that Hudson bay is open only four
months In the year. Moreover, it
used to be thought that even during
these four months the navigation Of
Hudson straits was not quite safe ow-
ing to foes, icebergs fogs. But
against this %dificulty is the we'll known
fact that for nearly 200 years the yes
sells Of h Hudson Bay
threaded the maze OF those dreaded
without the help OF steam and
with very few wrecks. At any rate.
the experiment is worth trying, for the
Hudson bay route would shorten the
distance from the northern half Of
North America to Great Britain nv at
least 1000 miles.

this medicine contained gcodly portions
Of cocaine and when it finally failed to
sooth the nerves Aaron attempted to
give up its use, but found that he
could not.
He must have something, SO he tried
a Whit OF cocaine. 1t acted something
after the fashion Of the catarrh medi-
cine and soothed the pain.
Just the thing I've been looking for"
thought Jack, n from that time on
he became a confirmed f1end.
Harmless though he is, Jack Aaron
Is a pitiful sight to look at.
All color has left his face, all sense
Of decency has deserted him. He rev.
els in filth and his clothing is in rags,
the height OF his ambition being en-
closed in a 10-cent box of cocaine.
Revels in His illusions.
When asked to explain the effect Of
cocaine on his system, Aaron had this
to say:
1T makes a nickel look like a $40
gold piece; a dirty, rodent infected cell
lar becomes a palace. It makes the
hard board on which I frequently sleep
feel as soft as a bed OF down-it
makes me rich, all powerful and
mighty.
When under it's influence I feel as
though / were capable Of swinging the
whole world to my side II I wanted to,
but l feel too rich to try it.
Everything has a roseate hue when
I'm in my coke but when the effect
OF I'm miserable"

BIG DRAFT HORSE WILL

that society could get an idea Of them,

Each evening h exhibition was

amphitheater. This proved the most
attractive feature of the show, tho
fashionably dressed women Of the
boxes being the most lavish in their
applause when the big horses were
brought out. These horses, shown ~
the hundreds, were q revelation to the
fashionable people of the city and mado
such an impression upon the VaMder.t
bits and tho other eastern exhibitors
OF classy steppers that they decided
trat the New York horse show this
winter would be incomplete without the
draft horses.
In order to be SIRE Of securing tllM
best and the largest number Of them,
the New York management a de-
cided to offer prizes double the values
offered at the Chicago show. believing
that the New York people, who attend
the horse show. will be more inter-
ested in the heavy horses than they
are IN the fashionable %turnouts and
fancy steppers, which they have all
ways Deen accustomed to. 81

1T is a fac that for the last sev-
eral years the Chicago stock show has
been most literally ~patronized by the
fashionable people Of the city, who MI
the great ampEitheater to OVERLOOKING
every night and come early enough to
visit the stalls, see the sleek, well-fed
cattle and delight in the big horses
before the evenings entertainment be-
gins. Even during the first week when
only the big horses and cattle wero
the attractions the double rows around
the arena were all filled.
This clearly demonstrates that tho
wealth and fashionable people OF Chs.
are deeply interested in improved
live stock, that city's greatest Industry.
This should also be true OF Sioux City,
which is destined to become one of the
greatest live stock markets OF the
West, and there is no reason why all
classes of business men in Sioux City
should not have a lively interest in;
everything done to develop the agri-I
cultural and live stock interests of the
country that is tributary to Sioux
City"
And that is the opinion Of an u
thority. There can be no doubt that
the draft horse has greatly increased
his popularity and he is only awaiting
the opportunity, which will be Afforded

November, to prance of with the crown

For ice costs silver,
And anthracite gold.
And he who objects indeed is most bold
In the town where Cash is king.
Oh, a jolly old place is my native town,
This town whereof 1 sing;
There are frequent spots
Where the streets gap wide

For ii'f Il; . hole you should chance te

Oh, a bully fine place is my native town
A seat in a car you'll vainly hunt
Where the constant cry

Makes the people mad till they shove

And wiggle and jump
Till your back twists up in a hopeless

Pipe. That Grow on vines.
From the Dallas. Tex, Farm and Ranch.
Since the department of agriculture,
through its bureau Of foreign plant in
v~estigations, brought to the notice Of
the smokers of his country the fact
that pipes could be grown that would
wear we'll and smoke sweet and cool,
great interest has been manifested in
the enterprise.
This wonderful plant, known as the
Africa, and produces, in the form of
fruit. calabashes which are being made
into the highest quality of pipe bowls.
Annually many thousands of pipe
gourds are exported, both in the rough
and in the finished pipe.
The plants grow very fast, one plant
producing from 100 to 200 bowls. 1t is
seed is planted until h fruit can be
gathered.
Constant attention must be given to
the plants when under cultivation, SO as
to insure a crop Of suitable shapes for
pipes. Many farmers Of South Africa
make a special study Of growing the
correct shapes.
The gourds require a hot, dry soil,
with rain at the proper season to bring
them to perfection. The curved stem
of the calabash forms a light and ap-
propriate shape. This is the gourd OF
ommerce
Curiously enough these gourds bear
a resemblance to the capacious bowled
meerschaum so popular in Germany.
The calabash pipe not only yields a
very sweet and cool smoke, but they
color beautifully. Its life is about as
long as that of a briar pipe. It takes
q very high polish. They are usually
lined with commercial meerschaum,
although the cheaper grades are lined
with tin. In South Africa these pipes
sell for 81 to $50, according to the fin
ish and style.
The present market price Of these
pipes is rather high, owing to the fact
that no two OF them are of the same
size n shape, necessitating the max
ing of the mountings by hand. The in
dustry in South Africa is such that
there are shipped annually from l50, 900
to 200, 900 pipes.
The ease with which these gourds
can be gown is such that 1t IL thought
American smokers will not be slow to
appreciate this latest and best thing in
pipes. which seems destined to GUST

Why Mary Left the Browns.


Herbert Spencer and Fleta Jan
Brown, who in private life is Mrs.
Spencer, have resolved never to discuss
their private affairs before their ser
want again. Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer are
the writer's of "Pansies Mean Thoughts
n Thoughts Mean You," one Of the
big ballad successes of the present sea-
son., and as they are both greatly in
terested in this song they are prone to
talk a great deal about it.
Recently Mrs. Spencer added a WIN
Cow box to the furnishings of their
apartment, and through sentiment
planted pansies in it. Mary, the cook,
helped her to do the planting and was
greatly interested in it. However,
Mary did not know that Mr.. and Mrs.
Spencer were the authors of the
"pansy' song.
At the dinner table the other night
the Spencers were planning out what
they would do with their ~"pansy''
money (meaning their royalties on the
song). The ook was an attentive lis
tener to the conversation.
The following Saturday, after receiv-
ing her pay, she Informed Mrs. Spencer
that she was going to leave.
why, what on earth is the trouble,
Mary?" asked Mrs. Spencer. Haven't
we treated you good?"
"Oh, wis.," replied the servant, "Oi
can't complain m hot schore."
Then whatever is the trouble?"
"Oi heard we tellin' the boss the other
evenin' thot We was depinding on that
little box av pansies in the windy for

Dim afraid yez can't afford to pay me
