Jack Knight proved a powerful tonic

TO BAR CIGARETTES.
Truant Officer Farnan Would Make It a Misdemeanor to Sell Even to Adults

James Farnan, truant officer of Bridgeport since 1904 and with his experience of seven years to back it up, says that it would be an excellent thing if some one in the state had backbone" to stop the sale of ciga- rettes inside the borders of the com monwealth.
 He says some of the western states have passed statutes prohibiting the manufacture or sale of cigarettes in the state limits and he favors similar action in Connecticut.
 In the past several months he has rounded up nearly if not quite a score or little boys in the West End who have become slaves, more or less, to the habit of indulging in coffin nails.' Men have been prosecuted and pun lshed for selling cigarettes to these boys. but that will not stop the boys as long as they want to smoke.
 It's almost impossible to stop them said Officer Farnan. '-The only way to do it is to prevent ciga- rettes being sold in the state to any body. It should he made a misde- meanor That would do more to stop them than anything else.''

MISS 'HoLsRook NOT RICH.
Missionary Did Not Leave an Estate Worth a Hundred Thousand Dollars,

When the will of Miss Mary Anna Holbrook, foreign missionary. was offered for probate at New Haven, it was supposed it would disclose the fact that Miss Holbrook had worldly goods to the amount of s100,000. The publication of this rumor has caused wide comment that missionary left so much money. The true facts in the case, however. reveal that Miss HoI- brook, who was sister of Dr. Hol- brook of East Haven, left an estate of only S5,000. and the suspicion which naturally attaches to the fact of a laborer in the mission field leaving so much, is removed.
 Miss Holbrook never received more than s4o0 to $500 year as a medical missionary or as teacher of natural sciences in Kobe college, Japan, and 1t is hardly conceivable that from so insignificant a sum she could in thirty years as a missionary in China and Japan accumulate property worth S100,000
 The s5,0o0 estate which she died possessed of, was the interest and principal of $2,50o left her by her father twenty years ago.
