misfortune destroy families; and yet
to assuage such griefs by music were
wisdom" The music of the Greeks
evidently had the power to stir or
calm emotions, although neither melo-
dic nor harmonic as the terms are I'M

BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR
GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT
Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not:
Patent Medicines the
Cause. fy.@ =

New York. for the prev
alence and growth of the morphine
habit was placed on the shoulders OF
physicians, who prescribed the drug,
at a meeting Of druggists here to-
night to protest against the recently
enacted city ordinance prohibiting the
sale at retail of any preparation con-
tanning morphine or its salts except
upon doctors prescription.
The ordinance is aimed primarily
at paregoric iand,at stomach remedies,
according to members of the board OF
health who were instrumental in OBJ
tanning it's passage. Caswell Mayo,
one eof the druggists, said he had
made a canvass by mail of several
sanitariums and the replies convinced
him 80 per cent. of the victims OF
drugs formed the habit as a result OF
using prescriptions given by physi-
clans and only per cent. from using
proprietary medicines.

TOO MUCH FOR THE CORPSE
ICED the "Dead" lrshman Into
Indignant Life.

Don't be mean in your offerings"
said T. p O'Connor, in plea in New
York for the Irish cause. THE Irish
can't stand meanness.
No, no; the Irish can't stand mean
ness. Take O'Grady's case. You know,
in Ireland, some so or 70 years ago,
when poor family lacked coffin
they made the corpse beg for it.
This custom, alas! sometimes led
to imposture. Thus, Thirsty O'Grady
and his friends wanted money badly
once, and O'Grady was assigned to
act the corpse. So they laid him on
a bier outside the door and they put
a pewter plate beside him for the
pennies.
LAS O'Grady lay there, so still, with
closed eyes, an old woman stopped
and dropped sixpence into the plate.
Then she began to take out change.
A penny, tuppence, threepence she
took out, and O'Grady couldn't stand
su1h meanness. Corpse as he was, he
said:

Factory.
What is probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, Of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis Single Binder Cigars will appre
ciate this tobacco.
