FINALLY HAD USE FOR JOHN
Calamity Forced Laundry Company to
Rescind It's Boast.

It was the boast Of the "Tncompar-
able Laundry. Company" that it EN-.
ployed no Cinnamon, that 1t did better
work than Chinese laundries did, and
did not wear out the clothes so quick
ly In washing. One unlucky day, how
ever, the company's building caught
fire and was partially destroyed. By
great exertion nearly all the contents
were saved, but in highly mixed and
tangled-up condition.
Drivers of the company's wagons
were sent round to the various GUS
toners to assure them that they would
lose nothing; that their shirts, collars
and cuffs were all safe, and would be
delivered to them. properly laundered.
with delay of only few days.
Wasn't everything piled in heap
when you got things out of the build
ing?" asked one Of the customers.
YES" said the driver to whom the
question was addressed.
We'll, how are you ever going to
separate them?"
"Oh, we've got a-er-Chinaman sort
Ing them out" answered the driver
with some ENTHUSIASTICALLY Com
panion.

Harry Barnato, who has just died

maturely and often tragically. Ceci
Rhodes, IL will be remembered, did not
live to see his forty-ninth birthday.
although he had qualified as a million

ney Barnato was only 46 when he
came to his tragic end on the high

to leave nearly e1,000.000 behind him.
Woolf Joel. Barnato's nephew, was
much younger when at "a bullet put
an end to his life at johannesburg ten
years or so ago, and yet he was able
to leave an estate valued at f1.226.-

age OF 43. and Mr.. Belt had made and

PASSING OF THE CIGAR BOX.
Glass Jars Expected to Take Place Of
Old Receptacle.

II don't believe it will be long be-
fore the cedar wood cigar box is a
thing Of the past" said the clerk as
he knocked the nails out of box and
scratched off the internal revenue
stamp. Several big cigar manufac-
turing concerns have been experiment.
ing recently with glass jars as a sub
stitute, and they are proving great
success. OF course, they are heavier
than the wooden box and there Is a
slight percentage of breakage, but In
the end they are cheaper, for the price
of the wooden boxes is going up all
the time. The package Is attractive,
and the cigars packed In the Jars will
not dry out so rapidly.
Fifty cigars are packed In the Jars,
which have a light, nickeled screw
top. The best part of the glass jar
idea is that the smokers wives can
put them to good use after the cigars
are all gone. They can be used around
the house for thousand different
things. But wooden cigar box wasn't
