MARK TwAIN's TOBACCO HABIT

from Mark Twain's home in Fifth ave-
nue.. Talking of the humorist-for
Twain used to visit the New York
store almost daily-the man said:
He used 20 be a remarkable suolx-
er. but 1 don't think he had any taste
to enjoy the best tobacco. Again and

most villanous cigars that were ever
built. We did stop him once. though.

CHANGE Is COMING.

Farming in the east is more OF less
OF a joke with the westerner, who IS
accustomed to handling big PROPOSE
tons in a big way. Yet the easterner.
with his ten-acre patch Of stone often
makes more money than his western
brother who possesses 16O acres OF
rich farming land.
or course the eastern man is a
truck farmer. because he cannot raise
corn and hogs on his little farm.
Cities being near truck farming pays.
even when the patch Of ground is
stony. which it usually is.
The western farmer IS a man Of big
ideas. his mind expanding in proper
ton to the number of acres brought
under the pillow. A little ten-acre
patch Of huckleberry land doesn't ap-
peal to him. In course OF time, how
ever. he will have to come to II and
submit to the division Of his land.
Perhaps not In this generation, but
certainly in the next the great farms
Of the west will be divided and sub
divided under the intensive system.
Just at present. however, the eastern
farmer is a source Of amusement for
the western man who tickles the soil
for a living.

IRRIGATION THE SURE METHOD.

The dry farmers in the west are up
against a tough proposition this year.
owing to the drouth. Attempting to
raise crops on desert lands is bad
enough in ordinary seasons. When a
protracted dry spell Of weather comes
along the case is hopeless, so the crop
prospects Of the dry farmers are MI
at the present time.
Crops are going 20 be short also in
the states where nature usually sup
plies moisture in the form OF rain dur
ing the summer months. the season be-
Ing exceptionally dry in all the farm
ing communities.
The farmer who is the possessor of
an irrigation ditch and a water right
seems to be the favored child OF for
tune just now.

WILLING TO QUIT.

Premier Asquith made the state
ment in the house OF commons the
other day that the British government
had approached Germany with a view
TO curtailing the naval armament OF
the two nations An agreement could
not be reached. because the German
naval program had been written into
tho statute books.
Consequently. the building Of big
battleships by both countries viii con-
tinue indefinitely. In 1913 Great Brit
ain will have twenty-five Dread
noughts and Germany twenty-one. be-
sides hundreds Of vessels OF the small
er kind.
Money to build warships comes hard
these days in both Great Britain and
Germany. and there is a disposition on
the part OF the taxpayers to call a halt
before the countries become bankrupt.
The United States IS also busy build
ing big battleships. but the drain upon
our resources is not so severely felt as
In the case OF the foreign nations. The
time viii come, however. when Uncle
sam can no longer afford the outlay.
Il Is probable. therefore. that II the
matter IS brought UP at The Hague in
the near future an agreement limiting
the naval ornaments can be easily
reached.

BETTER GOODS AT HOME.

An Indianapolis woman who signs
herself Experience" IA a communal
cation addressed to the News OF that
city. calls attention to the fact that
the money spent abroad by American
women is worse than wasted, so far as
the purchase of-clothes are concerned.
There is no objection to the trip
abroad 50 far as sightseeing is con-
cerned. Americans who are well read
naturally want to visit the places Of
interest. and they do visit them Gen
orally speaking. the American visitor
usually knows more about the history
and traditions OF any number of Brit
ish localities than the natives them
selves. But all that is incidental.
We lose much money each year on
account of the prevailing notion that
an Imported hat or dress must be pur-
chased at all hazards. The Indianap-
oils woman sees the folly Of such in
vestments, and says:
The trash that is sold in Paris alone
Ior nigh grade goods and high
prices could hardly be sold In any
OF our good stores. not even on a
PSargain day. When we. go to
cases, to buy inferior or less de-
srable patterns for low prices.

abroad VIII buy stuffs. dresses.

much less than in this country.

All our good stores display imported

Orrander =. Dexter, VINO was shot in
the back in September. 1903, while
driving along the road IN the Adiron-
dack mountains The old man always
believed that his sons murderer had
been shielded by prominent persons,
and had expended a large sum, placed
at $4,000. in an effort to clear up the
mystery. His son was evidently the

New York, Nov. 21.-The trans

Manila today or tomorrow with a
cargo Of 3700 turkeys, 40 barrels Of
crsnberries, 600 pounds of mlnce-
meat, and $4,000 Oregon apples
slowed away In her refrigerators.
All these good things are the
Thanksgiving of the Government
to the soldiers in the tropics and
everything about the dinner is the
very best that could be had. Meyer
before has a Thanksgiving dinner
been served from so great dis
tance as the one that the boys il
blue will eat on Thursday.
Most of the turkeys came from
the East and when they reach the
tables from which they will be
served, they will be nearly $4,000
miles from the place of shipment.
The cranberries are from Maine,
while the mincemeat was made ia
California.
Now that the Thanksgiving ship
has fulfilled her mission, the trans
port officials are getting ready to
dispatch the Christmas ship from
San Francisco. This will carry
Christmas and New Years repasts
for the Philippines soldiers and
also thousands of Christmas pres
ents from tie relatives and friends
Of the soldiers in the states. The
presents are shipped free across
The Pacific by the Government. |
Expressage must be paid bv the
sender to San Francisco. The
Iuartermaster of the army in San
Francisco attends to the shipments
