TOBACCO KING NO SMOKER.

James B. Duke, "the tobacco king" who
hat become a multi-mill;onaire, has
sworn off smoking.
He used to smoke as many as twenty
five big black cigars a day, and used TO
chew tobacco in scrap form, but now he
has forsworn everything Despite the
fact that the foundation Of Mr.. Dukes
fortune came from the cigarette industry
and Virginia cigarette at that-he has
never been confirmed user of the paper
rolled butt of prejudice.
In days of yore Mr.. Duke would sit at
his great desk at III Fifth avenue, New
York, and cloud the cigar smoke out SO
thick that some people thought the build
ing was on fire. He would sit from morn
ing till night, and content himself with a
package of biscuit in his upper drawer on
the left side. While chewing the biscuit
he would shut off his orders in his usual
authoritative tone, and some of the biscuit
would find its way stomachward, but the
greater part would be deposited in small
morsels on his desk and on the floor.
Mr.. Duke eats heavily at night, though
he has cut out the champagne as well as
the tobacco. His physicians informed him
that there was a deposit within the anat-
orny. which gathered through excessive
smoking. Mr.. Duke stopped right off,
though he was nervous for several weeks
thereafter, and went home early in the af-
ternoon.
Some of the other magnates in the to-
bacco trust have cut down their smoking
also. PercivaI S. Hill, second in command
to Mr.. Duke, but the actual executive
head in Mr.. Dukes semi-retirement, used
to be heavy cigarette smoker. He has
turned his back on the coffin nail" en-
tireIy, and confines his communion, with
my Lady Nicotine" to three cigars a day.

THE WAY TO BE A CERTAIN FAIL =
URE

First-Consult Tom Dick and Harry,
in the matters of business, and then follow
not the best but the last advice given.
Second-Instead- of marching straight
over trouble with firm front, crush and
let it march over you.
Third-Have no mind over your own,
no self-reliance. Be as unstable and shift
ing as the sand on the seashore.
Fourth--If you are knocked down today,
conclude that is your place indefinitely,
Fifth-Because it rains today and is
dismal make up your mind that it is
going to be rainy and dismal always.
Sixth-Never look among your clouds
for silver Innings.
Seventh-Follow these directions closely,
and failure will track your steps like
bloodhound; in adversely you will be as
worthless as an old rotten sheet for sail
in a gale of wind when fire comes, as
come it must; you will find all the metal
you ever had in you is turned to dross;
and in the fire, you know, dross never
purifes nor refnes-it only burns

COURTS ARE CONFUSED.

Mississippi's system of Jurisprudence is
in somewhat of confused state as re-
suit of the numerous changes in the per-
sonnet of the judiciary that have been
made during the past three months and
the formation of four new circuit and
three new chancery court districts.
Gov. Noel made nearly all of his i'm
portant appointments at time when the
legislature was in the midst of investiga-
tons and red hot sensations, and they at
tracted very little attention. Members of
the bar, as a result, are very much con-
fused over court terms, and frequently
letters are received by the governor and
secretary of state from members of the bar
asking the name of circuit judge and
district attorney for their respective dis
tricts.
The following is an accurate COM
piliation from the record in the secre-
tary of states office showing the cir
cult judge and district attorney for each
district.
First-John H. Mitchell, judge; Geo.
H. Strange, district attorney.

TOLEDO. July 2s.-Does farming
pay? II this cry of back to the soil''

According to the testimony of the
farmers OF Dorrrd, southwest OF To-
ledo,s the answer TO these questions is:
Eyes. farming does pay. and the
back to the soil slogan is the goods
provided. In this northern climate,
you are careful to keep part OF your
farm under glass But some OF the
knowing ones will add: And provid,
Cd you are lucky"
Within the past few years this
Doorrd community has developed
from ordinary truck farms. such as
may be found on the outskirts OF any
city, into an extraordinary center for
the production OF out-of-season green

fashioned hotbeds were all they had

and accelerate the vegetable season.

Of enormous glass-roofed structures.
One OF these, covering nearly eight

country. The products OF these
houses serve to make Toledo nation
a center for the shipment of hot
house cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes,

These operations are spreading
with. astonishing rapidity. For exam.

built greenhouse that was large for
that day. It was the first OF the big

then several still larger greenhouses

Now Miller brothers are building an
additional plant that will be one OF
the largest in the world II present

Geenhouse farming Is not a sure
thing by any means. There is an ele-
ment of risk in all farming. and in
this sort OF farming the risk is great

VICTIM OF APHASIA
WANDERS FAR AWAY
Mourned as Dead, He returns After
Being Found on an Island In
the Pacific.

NEW YORK. June S0.-Joe Rey-
nclds. for nearly four years looked
upon as dead, returned TO Greenwich,
Conn, q few days ago, startling his
mother and friends, who had given up
hope of ever seeing him again. Rey-
nolds returned with a story OF adven-
ture and a trip around the world. a
part OF the time when he did not
know his name OF where he had come
from.
At eighteen the young man decided
TO see the world. and left Greenwich.
That was the last heard or seen OF
him until he walked into No. rs Green
wich-ave., where his mother is living
with her friend, Mrs. G.. l.. Gilman.
Reynolds says that when he left
home for a while he confined himself
to travelling about the United States,
and then desired to go abroad. II
was while he was on his way to China
that an accident of some kind hap
pened 10 him. What IL was he doeos
not remember, and what he knows he
knows only from what he has been
told.
From some time on the ship until
he came TO himself in Australia his
mind was blank. In Australia ne
learned that he had been brought
there by an Englishman named Roper
Roper according to Reynolds, land
ed at one of the Gilbert Islands, in
the Southern Pacific. and was told by
the natives that the.S was another
white man on the Island. This was
Reynolds. He had been picked up on
the beach dazed. with a badly battered
head and a bullet wound in his leg
Roper nursed him back TO life and
took him 10 Australia. His mind was
blank as to his past. and his case
was diagnosed as aphasia. When
found he had a letter for $500 on the
Bank of Hong Kong. This money, he
says. was used to obtain medical aid
for him.
One day. after months, his memory
came back to him, and he realized
who he was and where he lived, and
knew everything except how he came
10 be injured and the incidents up TO
the time he had recovered his reason.
His health restored, he returned to
America.
