An Easy Ell.

A number of years ago there lived
IN northern New Hampshire a notori-
GUS woman-hater. 1t was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen.
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent In the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got a new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer.
mo, hain't!" said Obed. I've got
seven yards Of cloth wrapped round
me."-Youth's Companion.

LEWIS "sINGLE BINDER"

A handmade cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are so rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis Single Binder Straight
sc. Lewis Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other sc cigars,
but the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many limitations; don't be
fooled There is no substitute! Tell
the dealer you want Lewis Single

eating the smoking of cigarettes, says
she does not believe their use by wom-
en- does any great harm.
There are many women who smoke
cigarettes, although l do not think
that the majority of these women
smoke them to excess. OF course, ex-
cessive smoking greatly Injuries the
lungs and weakens the heart action.
Every one knows that.
Excessive cigarette smoking, like
anything else excessive, Injuries the
physical condition Of the body and
there are many women in society who
are tnveterate smokers.
"Of course, / do not mean to say
that all society women smoke cigar
cites. There is class which does
not care for them. That is their rea
son for not smoking them. They sim
ply do not wish to.
I'm a comparison of the two habits
namely, smoking and drinking liquor
l should say that by all means the lat
ter was more harmful. We hear some
times that girls of sixteen in wealthy
homes smoke cigarettes. Just as 6
boy likes to steal smoke, SO, some
times, a girl of sixteen may, but this
does not imply that girls Of that age
are smokers In any sense of the
word.
For my own part, find too much
to occupy my interest, my time anc
my attention out of doors in the worlC
Of recreation and sport and otherwise
to become a cigarette smoker"

POOR CROP OF BASS.

Several of the fishermen of the
state who have made application for
black bass for stocking purposes
have received the following letter
from Fish Commissioner Meehan:
81 regret to say that the black
bass work of the Department of
Fisheries was this year failure
both in the state hatcheries and the
field. The fish secured from both
sources will not supply five hundred
out of the sixteen hundred and sixty
cans applied for, or just the num-
Der of applications held over from
last year. The department will
therefore be unable to fill your APP
plication this year but will file it in
hope that there will be better sue
cess next season.
The cause of the failure of the
bass work was due to the cold
weather from the middle of May
TO the middle of June, the usual
bass season, which sent the water
temperature to below fifty degrees
at which point bass eggs are killed

TAKEN TO CONVENTION so
THAT HE WILL NOT BE NAMED
BY THE DEMOCRATS.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Mayor Gaynor
will not be the Democratic candidate
for governor. All doubt on the sub
ject is removed in a letter written by
the mayor to James Creelman. Mayor
Gaynor says that If he is nominated
by the Democratic state convention in
Rochester he will decline to accept the
nomination. The letter follows:
81 am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dix stating that l am not n
candidate for nomination for governor
and refuse to become such. l do this
to remove all doubt on the subject
which may have arisen by reason Of
irresponsible statements which l am
informed are being circulated. No ut
terance of mine has put the matter in
doubt.
Some have said to me that the
convention may nominate me although
l am not candidate. 1t seems to me
that it might appear vain or egotistical
for me to assume in my letter to Mr..
Dix that that extraordinary thing
might happen.
81 therefore write this supplemental
letter to- you to take to Rochester and
show there SO as to prevent my nomi-
nation if it should appear to be immi-
nent. Make it plain that if nominated
l would decline to accept
81 could not abandon to their fate
the splendid men whom l have ap-
pointed to Office and who are working
so hard for good government, nor
could 1 abandon the people of the city
of New York after so short a service.
You may make this letter public In
advance Of going to Rochester If in
your judgment you think the situation
calls for it. But do not do so unless
man will understand me-"

BARN DESTROYED
BARN ON THE HAWKEY ESTATE,
UP SEEJYVILLE WAY, STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING WEDNESDAY
MORNING AND is DESTROYED
WITH ITS CONTENTS-NO IN
= SURANCE.

At 1890 Wednesday morning peo-
pie were aroused by the blowing of
the fire gong. A fierce rain storm
accompanied by thunder and light
ming had been in progress for some
time and the lightning had struck
and set fire to a barn on the old
Hawkey property which is situated
opposite the Seelyville chapel. The
barn was some distance from the
house and back from the road. 1t
was filed with hay and light COM
bustibles and burned very rapidly.
The sky was illuminated and people
living in Honesdale thought that the
club house on the golf links was the
scene of the confagration. The
firemen assembled promptly and
proceeded to the scene with one
steamer and one hose cart. The
Seelyville Fire company responded
promptly and did all that was possi-
BILE but the barn and contents were
destroyed. The building belonged to
the Hawkey estate and was not in
sured; the contents of the barn be-
longed to a number of individuals
who also failed to insure.

number of the most prominent busi-
ness men of Philadelphia and eastern
Pennsylvania has been sent to can
didates Grim and Berry beseechirg
them to step down and out in order
that all who desire to unite in down
ing the Republican ticket can unite
on some strong candidate. A canvass
of many of the counties show that
Berry will receive a mere nominal
vote and most of whom are Demo-
cratic. The northeastern counties of
the state show larger number of
Berry supporters than in any other
section, but his strength has been
weakened by the foolhardiness of his
managers in endorsing George w.
Kipp who is a pronounced believer of
booze, in opposition to c. c. Platt
a consistent church man and a tenn
perance man. There has been a big
falling off in Susquehanna and Brad
ford counties of Berryites as they
realize that Berry is being used only
to boost Kipp's canvass.

MILK INFECTION IN THE HOME.
Health Commissioner Dixon Tells
How il Often Takes Place.

"As the pure milk question is be-
ing agitated along the lines of pro-
duction, transportation and handling
by dealers" said DR.. Samuel G.,
Dixon, state health commissioner,
one day last week. "It may be well
enough to call attention to the ways
in which milk for babies is made
unfit for food after it has been de-
liYered to the consumer.
The mother or nurse often keeps
milk in an open vessel in hot
place exposed to dust, flies and 9th
er insect life. Not infrequently the
infant is fed through a long, small,
dirty rubber tube.
Another way in which the baby's S
food may be rendered bad is by the
mother or nurse first testing its tenn
perature or sweetness by placing ii
to her own lips before feeding the
infant.
"There is another habit that
should be stopped and that is blow
ing the cream off the top of the
milk with the mouth"
