.2l FREE SMOKERS
FOR CICARMAKERS
Congress May Remove Re-
StriCtiOnS Now In Force
Throughout Country

A bill Of special interest to cigar
makers in Wilmington, and elsewhere
throughout the country is now pend
ing in congress and will no doubt be
passed by that body. The bill proposes
to amend section 1894 Of the revised
statutes, so as to exempt cigar manu-
facturers from paying internal reve-
rue taxes on all such cigars as they
are accustomed to supply free to their
employees for personal use and actual
consumption A limit of 21 cigars
each week Tor each employe is stipu-
lated.
The bill if passed by congress will
solve what has proved to be a diff
ficult problem for cigar manufacturers
who were called upon some time ago
to pay taxes upon smokers" used by
their employees during the past two
years by the treasury department.
AS no account was kept of the free
or unstamped cigars used by employ
ers, as we'll as those distributed
among employees, the firms were un-
able to make a correct estimate and
side-stepped the matter
In the cigar trade a custom has pre-
vailed for many years by which cigar
makers have been permitted to make
few cigars each day for their own
use from the stock furnished them
Some firms make distributions Of ci-
gars to employees with the understand
ing that they must not make any
smokers The Cigarmakers' union
entered an earnest protest when the
ruling was made. some months ago,
and the situation has remained un-
changed since the posting of notices
in each factory that free" cigars
would he suspended owing to the ac-
tion of the revenue officials taxing the
same.

Fairness

O We have laid down one HARD and FAST rule in
this business-its to TREAT EVERYBODY ALIKE
in the matter of PRICE.
O It's a MIGHTY hard rule to stick to because it
means that one is bound to lose some business by it.
1t is habit with some people of continually trying to
get the best of business house by wanting PRICE

think deal of this kind can be stretched one way as
far as can the other. If business house has two
prceS-one that it ASKS you for certain article and
one that it finally ACCEPTS.
NYOU CAN MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO THIS
ONE FACT---you could have found third or fourth
price if you had STUCK If you can buy an article
of any business institution for a less sum than the
ASKING price, SOMEBODY ELSE is buying that
SAME article for LESS than you paid.

Rousseau,s Etiquette Of Lo.s.

Before Rousseau, love was highly
refined form of social intercourse, u
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint, and all the formalities Of
special etiquette; any extravagancy.
whether in feeling, In speech, or in
action, was banished. But when Saint
Preux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the flood Of
his sentimental tears, all the witty re-
finements of eighteenth century gal
lantry, for good or for evil, were final
ly swept away; extravagancy was free
to lay down the law in love. 1t was
Rousseau who enabled Mirabeau, In
his first letter to Julie Danvers (whom
he had never SEEM, to declare, II, also,
am a lover, have emptied the cup of
sensibility to the dregs, and could
give thousand lives for what love-"
It was Rousseau who laid down new
etiquette of love which every petty
poet and novelist still adheres to-

Fawn and st. Bernard a. Companions.
At the little village Of Bauma. in
Switzerland. q farmer recently found
q young fawn In one Of his fields.
Fearing that II left alone without
its mother some mischief would be-
fall 1t, he took 1t home and did every
thing possible for It. Now, he hap
peneu to have large st. Bernard dog.
and this dog and the fawn took to
each other.
The fawn slept In the dogs kennel,
and when 1t grew a little older and
went out on its walks abroad, the
dog accompanied 1t, and defended 1t
against the attacks Of other dogs.
Sometimes the St. Bernard and the
fawn would be absent in the woods
and fields for whole day, but they
always returned at night, the doors
and gate being left open for them.
The fawn Is now much taller than the
st. Bernard. and yet the dog still goes
out with 1t.

WHY CHICKENS PAY.
Eight Arguments In Favor OF Poultry
Raising by the General Farmer.

Eight Arguments In Favor OF Pouitr>
Raising by the General Farmer.
A well known Canadian professor al
Ottawa, In reply to the question, "Why
Is poultry valuable to the farmerY
gave the following reasons:
I Because he ought by this means to
convert great deal of the waste of his
farm into money in the shape Of eggs
and chickens for market.
Because with intelligent management
hens ought to be all year revenue pro
ducers, with the exception Of perhaps
two months during the molting period
Because poultry will yield him q
quicker return for his capital invested
than any Of the other departments OF
agriculture.
Because the manure from the poul-
try house will make valuable com.
post for use in either vegetable garden
or orchard The birds themselves, If
allowed to run In plum or apple or
chard, will destroy all injurious insect
life. ss
Because, while cereals and fruits can
only be successfully grown In certain
sections, poultry can be raised for ia
BILE use or layers Of eggs In all parts
Of the country. p".r
Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment In which the farmers wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free to attend, to other depart
ments 80
Because It. will bring the best return
in the shapeeof new laid eggs during
the winter season, when the farmer has
most time on his hands.
Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
Under any circumstances, with proper
management. poultry can be made with
little cost "a valuable adjunct to the
farm.
