A young business man is very fond
Of a certain brand Of small. cigars that
comes in tin boxes. He at times con-.
sumes as much as two or three boxes
of these in day. After emptying a
box he generally throws the tin recep-
tacle into the nearest refuse receptacle
of an out Of the way corner.
On Christmas this young man receiv-
ed as one Of his presents handsome
solid silver cigar case which was load
ed with his favorite brand. He drop
ped into local pool room and passed
several Of the "cigars'' around to his
friends. When the box was emptied,
with his usual custom he threw it into
the cuspidor.
He did not miss it until next day
when he dropped into the place and it
was handed him by the janitor.

moving from their old places to new
country is that they are prone to home
Sickness" said land man who has
had much experience along the line of
colonization, at local hotel yesterday.
"They sell their farms on which they
may have resided since boyhood, or
from young manhood, and likely
enough they have had no experience in
new country. These men and their
wives are apt to get homesick and want
to return to their old haunts, regard
less of the expense If they would be
game and stick, and in a few years
make fine new farm for themselves
they would be making good money.
And most Of them do live down the
inconsistencies. I know of one man who
went from western Minnesota to Ore
gon, and came back and repurchased
the old farm at an advance of $40 an
acre.
ga good cure for such inconsistencies
is to pay visit to the old home and
friends after they have. gotten fairly
settled on the new place. If they come
back and pay a visit when the home
sickness is gripping them, they will find
that while it is all very pleasant to get
back to old friends and scenes, they do
not want to remain there permanently
as badly as they thought, and will find
themselves afterward more contented
in the new place"

then, for that matter, everything was
rum of Iate-so that counted for moth

like there was something in the air
everybody seemed SO queer-well, 1ol-
ly muddled, should call it! Idea
had been gradually coming to me that
I was the only one who appeared to
have any clear understanding OF
things; and somehow the realization
lust made me devilish nervous-the
responsibility. don't you know!
And Just then the Judge looked sud
denly at his watch, muttered some
thing, and hitched up to the table
strewn with papers. He bent over
these with frown, coughed oddly

one day and asked old Morley, my
man of affairs, but forgot what he
said. Never could remember after

ten and always hated to ask again.
Truth was he had stared at me so
and seemed so oddly surprised. | Just
worked off some jolly apologetic rub

glass, fumbling with the papers to
cover his confusion. Then he clapped
me on the shoulder, pressing me again
toward the door. You Just go ahead
and do whatever you can with Fran

Or wait, and III prepare the way for

and he went to nodding. Then he

voice dropped-"I think it's Just as
