Five Dollar Chars.

Who smokes the most expensive ci-
CARS? One would say offhand in re-
ply to such question American mil
lionaires. According to the Munich
News, this is incorrect. The best CT
CARS are smoked in Heidelberg. A
Havana manufacturer says that the
fabrication of five dollar cigars Is only
sufficient to meet the demands of the
famous German university town. The
manufacturer has explained that these
cigars are not of the ordinary size.
They are just half meter in length.
The students meet for smoker, and
the cigar is placed in a nargile, and
the tube is passed from hand to hand,
or, rather, from mouth to mouth. The
Munich News concludes that people
who give themselves up to the luxury
of five dollar cigar are on the down
ward grade.

He Guessed Riaht.

This story was told at a prominent
club the other day by man who had
met Lord Decies in one of his visits to
London. Although Lord Decies is an
experienced and Travelled man Of the
world, he does not believe in throwing
away money in those extravagant tips
that characterize Americans and that
are very often mistaken generosity
The Englishman also Is quite able to
take his own part if his reasonable tips
are taken unreasonably, as was evil
denced one day when he had taken a
cab to the club.
When he alighted and paid the driver
cabby seemed to think his tip was too
small.
''Wot's this ERE for, my lord?' said
the cabby. regarding with some con-
tempt the coin he held in his hand.
Drink, should be inclined to think,
judging by your nose." was the polite
and effective reply of Lord Decies as
he vanished into the club.-New York

OF the pressmen on the principal Chi
cago daily papers took on more SER
ious aspect early today when the ster-
eotypers in all of the offices affected,
left their work in sympathy with the
rginal strikers. THIS made the
third union to join in the strike, the
wagon drivers having previously quit
work.
The walkolt of the stereotypers
compelled the publishers to condense
the morning papers. Only one edi.
ton was issued and this without any
advertisements. 1t was expected
that the afternoon papers will act sim
ilarly and issue only one edition in
condensed form. For the first time
since the strike began shooting was
resorted to today. Several shots were
fired in the street in front of one of
the newspaper buildings at Madison
and Dearborn streets. No one was
injured, but the police made severa.
arrests. Newspaper wagons, under
the guard of policemen were being
loaded at the time of the shooting.
