FIVE DOLLAR CIGARS

1t was not 80 long ago that dollar
cigars were luxury. Now the de-
mand for cigars selling at five dollars
each is SO great that Havana manu-
facturers cannot fill it. Most of this
demand is to supply banquets of the
ultra-rich. A considerable part of it
is from Heidelberg university, Ger
many, where the students never seem
to get enough to satisfy their appe-
tite. A favorite method they have Of
smoking them is to put one in an
Oriental water pipe, while five or six
will each take a tube and smoke it,.
This five-doilar brand is known to the
trade as "promenties," 1t is about
sixteen inches long and looks more
like yellow Roman candle than a
cigar.

n Sermon by a Horse

young minister walked along
husv city street one raw November
day. He was discouraged and embit-
tered. because he thought he was be-
ing overworked, and was not recelv-
ing the recognition he deserved. His
mood was bitter and rebellious, a
mood that is found among ministers
perhaps as often as among other peo-
pie.
out of the din of traffic there came
70 his ears the rumble of a heavily
loaded dray and the sound of iron
shod hoofs striking the pavement. A
dray, loaded with huge rolls of paper
and drawn by pair of magnificent
bay horses, was coming briskly up
a slight rise in the street The driv-
or, a little wrinkled Irishman, crouch
ed lazily on his seat, with the reins
hanging loose from his fingers. The
two splendid beasts, without word
or a touch from him, were doing their
work with perfect intelligence and
willingness. The minister paused up
on the curb to watch them.
Suddenly the horse nearest to him
trod upon a slippery manhole cover,
lost his footing, and went down on
his side with a resounding crash. A
quick little gasp of pity came from
the watchers on the sidewalk. But it
was wasted pity. For before the dray
had lost it's Roadway, before the lit
tie old driver had gathered up his

WHAT is A DOORBELL FOR?
Cy Pose Insisted That His Neighbors
Must Use the improvements
on the House.

Cy Pose was considered somewhat
of character round Hickory Forks.
When he built his new house, he de-
clared that 1T was not going to be a
mere place to stay in. He was going to
have all the "frills." Anyway, he had
a doorbell, then new thing in the
neighborhood.
Soon after the new house was COM
pleted, Josh Briggs, an old neghbor
who lived on the farm just up the
road, came over one Sunday afternoon
for a little call. 1t was pleasant fall
weather. The windows were all open,
but the front door was shut.
Josh knocked little timidely, for
everything looked pretty fine.
Cy, comfortably rocking in the front
room, gave no heed.
Josh knocked again-louder.
Cy rocked away, silently. ,...
Josh grew FESTIVE after a moments
wait and knocked again-a good loud
knock. .
Cy rocked on.
Josh changed feet, wiped his face,
puzzled and offended, for he knew the
folks, were at home. Once more he
tried it, loud, continued knock that
resounded over the entire place.
Whereupon Cy. still rocking COM
fortably, yelled:

self to Speak by Carrying Peb-
bIes in. His Mouth.

Demosthenes was great orator.
For many years he suffered from an
impediment in his speech, even before
the wine course had been served at
dinner.
So he trained himself to speak by
carrying pebbles in his mouth.
Many Of our public speakers might
adopt this method. If they had
derrick and one or two pieces OF
chiprock rolling around over their
molars they would not talk so long.
Demosthenes did not attain much
fame as a speaker until he hit on the
happy thought of whacking the table
with his fist and announcing in bold
tones that two and two made four,
that the sun rose in the east that the
old flag floated above US, and that hon
esty was the best policy.
From that day forth his fame was
made.
When he would arise calmly, smooth
down his toga over his bay window,
clear his throat, bow and say: "Mr.
Toastmaster and Gentlemen: l did
not expect to be called upon to speak
when | came here tonight, and in con-
sequence am absolutely unprepared to
address so brilliant an audience. but
there are one or two thoughts which

in its seats and prepared to enjoy It.

Colored Teeth.

Pearly teeth are not the fashion ev-

manufacturers who have an export
trade have to keep in stock molars Of

For Persia the teeth must be abso-
