1900, and continued until Feb. 3 last,

All the seats were occupied and the
straps were coming into demand when
the woman boarded the street car. She
was beyond the age generally consider
ed attractive, her attire was unfash-
ionable, and she was undeniably fat
There were several men, but no one
of them rose as she reached vainly for
the strap that eluded her short arm.
Take my seat, ma'am," piped a
voice-a small, red-haired boy had
risen,
The woman stared at her diminutive

self, thanked him gratefully and tried
to take the proffered seat.
Of course everybody was looking on
by this time. But the lesson that
should be conveyed to the seated speci-
mems of mankind threatened to be lost.
The boy was not over II, and small of
his age. The efforts of the portly WON
an to insert herself into the space left
by the boy were fast becoming ludic-
rous. Broad grins were appearing, and
a girl or two giggled.
The boy, who was of the ''red-hair-
ed temperament" began to blush
furiously, and was evidently embar-
raised at the turn events had taken
I'm sorry l amt bigger, ma'am,' he
said to the woman, letting his shrill,

INDIAN TO WOOD PILE
Modern Methods Have Killed the
Picturesque Sentinel of the
Cigar Store.
WAS VENERATED BY DEALER
City Ordinances Against Obstruction
of Streets and Other Causes
fastened Downfall.

The wooden Indian has gone to the
attic, the basement and the wood pile
He no longer is the recognized sign of
the tobacco store, says the Chicago
News.
Time was when the proprietor of a
tobacco store considered the statue Of
the American aborigine standing at
the entrance of his doorway a neees-
sary adjunct to his business 1t was
regarded by the proprietor with the
same feeling Of pride that now swells
in a mans bosom when he watches
his huge electric sign attracting the at
tention of the crowds in the street
When a new coat of paint covered The
front of his store the Indian was adorn-
ed with a new suit of attractive colorS.
At night the statue carefully was re
moved within the building, and the
first duty of the janitor the next morn
ing was to put the sign on duty in it's
accustomed place.
A few tobacco dealers still have the
Indian sign. They consider it now
more as a keepsake than an asset to
their business, and don't give it the
care and attention it demanded former
ly They bought it many years ago
when its presence was considered nee
essary to the sale of tobacco and their
attachment for the relic prevents them
from using it for kindling.
The retail tobacco business has I'M
dergone a revolution during the last
fifteen years, and the Indian was one
of the old customs slated for the tobog-
gan. When modern ways and modern
stores began to encroach upon the din
gy, untidy tobacco stands of the pio-
neers, the reformers chose to regard
the absence of the Indian as mark Of
their kind The electric sign or the
unassuming Cigars and Tobaccos'' on
the windows downed the chief.
/ Other things, too, aided custom in
discarding the wooden Indian. On mar
row sidewalks the life-sized statue
mounted on a large base was a serious
obstruction and often it was necessary
for pedestrians to pass it in single file,
This led to ordinances and laws
against street distractions, and the
wooden Indian became i'll. At this
stage in the history of the retail tobaC-
co business window decorations came
into vogue. The big signs prevented q
view of a clever window display and
discretion led the shopkeeper to aban-
don the old scheme for the new.
The use of an Indian statue as a
sign of a tobacco store is commonly
accredited to the fact that the red man
was the first to use tobacco.

NEGRO CADDIEs DOWN SOUTH.

ObIiging and Chez rfuI Helpers the
Visiting Golfer Finds Them.
The winter resort golf player meets
a refreshing novelty in the negro cad
dy. Sometimes the boy" is a grizzled
old fellow rising so, who totes the bag
of clubs about with the alacrity of
youth
The caddies come in all sizes, from
six feet or more with the muscular
build of prize fighter down to lads
just about able to handle the bag; but
no matter what his age or size, the ne
gro caddy has infinite ability to be
cheerful He doesn't adopt the some
what cynical manner of the white cad
dy, and his manners are better.
For another thing, the black lad
ordinarily has the eye of a hawk and
traces the balls with marvellous sure
ness. One caddy said he hadn't lost a
ball in the two years that he had been
ord.
The negro caddy comes into his work
with an amiable idea that he is the
partner of his employer The ball is
ours" Whose ball is that near the
pin?" asks the golfer. That's ours,
sir, the caddy says.
When the golfer gets a good long
ball from the tee, the caddy does a lot
of quiet roofing. Ride on, ball, ride
on" he calls, much as if he were roll
ing the bones and roofing for his num-
Der to come up. He does his best to
coax the ball into the cup, too, in much
the same way, but his sense of Ell
quette is too strong to permit him to
make any noise while the play is &C
tually being made.
No matter how much of dub he has
for a boss at the time, a writer in
he New York Sun says, he doesn't
sheer or say, anything impertinent
which is a relief to the player from
up North, who knows the unpleas ant
habits of some of the white caddies
The only bad habit the boy has is to
gamble on the result of the match he's
accompanying. 1t can be seen what a
test of cheerfulness it is for him when
his player is a dub and misses an easy
shot for the hole and so throws away

RoosEVELTs SAIL FOR HOME.

Ex-President Ends Tour and Starts
with Family for America.
After fifteen months abroad Theo-
dore Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt, Kermit, Ethel and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, on Friday, June
10, sailed from Southampton on the
Hamburg American line steamer Kali
serin Auguste Victoria for his native
shores
When the Kaiserin Augusle Victoria
turned her PROV westward Mr.. Roose-
welt found himself on the final lap of
what IN many respects has been the
most remarkable journey accomplished
by private citizen. At the head of
the Smithsonian African scientific ex-
petition the former chief executive of
the United States sailed on the steam
er hamburg from New York March
%, 1909. Arriving at Naples, he trans
ferred to the steamer Admiral and
continued his journey, stopping at
Messina, where he met King Victor
Emmanuel of Italy. The arrival at
Mombasa was made on schedule time,
April p, and soon afterward the hunt
ing and educational expedition was
begun and resulted in an unprecedent-
ed collection of African trophies.
Mr.. Roosevelt on March IA emerged
from the jungle, arriving at Khartum,
where he met Mrs. Roosevelt and their
daughter Ethel. The expedition had
been disbanded late in the preceding
month. Throughout his African jour
ney Mr.. Roosevelt was accompanied by
his son Kermit, who went as the Off
cial photographer of the party, but
turned out to be a splendid shot Fol
lowing the hunt Mr.. Roosevelt was
occupied with a series of speeches that
have excited lively interest throughout
the world. Also at this time was begun
program of entertainments in his
honor such as had perhaps never be-
fore been arranged for one who had
retired to private life. At Cairo he
approved of the British rule and
talked plainly to the nationalist. Then
followed the exchanges with the Vati-
can, which resulted in his abandon
ment of the requested audience with
the Pope. At Paris he delivered an
address at the Sorbonne. At Christi
ania he addressed the Nobel prize com
mittee on the subject of international
peace. He spoke before royalty at
Berlin and was a guest of Emperor
William. Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to
Great Britain was marred by the death
of King Edward. Unusual honors had
been planned for him. AS it was, he
went to London as special American
ambassador at the royal funeral, His
final day in England was one of Sc
clusion and rest.
