wood, H., where he has secured work

such will not go unfelt.

tilted as a faithful and accommodating

Mr.. Will Browning.
Lon Jacka, who little over a year
ago embarked for LeMars, Iowa, TO
work at his trade, is home for visit.
He looks as though his appetite is good

"A Dayton, Ohio, man by the name
of Young has caused great excitement
among the cigar manufacturers of the
United States by successfully convert
ing odds and ends of tobacco into
pulp and then, by paper making pro-
cess, into sheets from which perfect
cigar wrappers can be cut. 1t is said
that it is possible to retain all the val
liable properties Of the good wrapper,
such as flexibility, pliability, the burn
and general appearance. 1t is also
said that cigar wrappers of this kind
can be purchased by the manufacturers
for one-ffth the present cost of high
grade leaf and that this in turn will
mean reduction to the consumer.

TAFT WAS TO TREAD
Mystery in Disappearance OF
Irish Sod at Sea.

New York. March ia terrible dis
covery was made to-day when the steam
ship ST. Louis arrived in port from Cher
bourg. Southampton, and Queenstown.
1t was found that a bunch of sod from
Ireland. shipped here for President Taft
to stand ON during his speech in Chi
cago on St Patricks Day. had dlsap-
peared.
The sod was placed on board the st.
Louis at Queenstown. Everybody on the
steamship. from the captain down TO the
cook. agrees on that point. for they saw
1t. But what became of the precious bit
Of earth after that no one seemed TO
know when the boat arrived.
Capt. ". ]. Roberts, of the st. Louis.
said he had no idea as TO what became
of the sod.
Il believe the leprechawns got on
board the St Louis and stole that sod
after she had left Queenstown" said a
son of ireland, who is an officer of the
St. Louis. Goodness knows that enough
of Ireland's children are coming over
to America without bringing the sod
over. too. The eprechawns-they' re
fairies. you know-didnt like to see
everything being taken away from old
Ireland. so they followed the boat and
took the sod back home.
