bordering upon others less afflicted in
this regard, the express business has
been enormous. In some cities it is
represented that quantities of pack
ages of liquor would be shipped to the
agent so that the man who wanted a
quart for Saturday night might need
not even exercise the forethought
which foretells Saturday night
thirst on Wednesday. With almost
the convenience of the wholesale
liquor depot, he could upon ten min.
utes' warning of the craving run over
to the express office, ask for a pack
age for John Doe" pay the c. o. D.
charges and snap his fingers at the
law. e
An instance is given in Fall River,
Mass, where the city voted local
option. Breweries which had been
doing large local business were not
affected Express companies WERE
The breweries shipped their product
into Rhode Island, turned it around
and sent it back again as interstate
commerce and sold it C. o. D deliv-
cred as express. The law will also
hit large mail order business.

Anti-Ciqarette Law Effective.

The effect of the new Canadian law
on cigarette smoking by boys is
shown in the trade returns. Although
370,000,000 cigarettes were smoked in
Canada since the first Of the year,
most of them being made in the Do
minion, the number shows a decline
Of 100000 on the figures for the
preceding IL months. The results are
more striking when 1t is remembered
that the law was in force for only
eight months Of the year. 1t forbids
the sale or gift Of cigarettes or ciga-
rette material to boys of 16 or less un-
der penalties of from $40 to 500.

The old Marquis de Preville and his
wife were q singularly united couple.
At sixty years and ever their love
was still tender, and their eyes never

only of one thing; we had loved each

met l felt that we had found each

One summer evening, it was the 23d

script, the contents of which absorbed
him to such an extent that the mar
