Piety His Downfall.

Because he was pious enough to stop
to cross himself before shooting his We
tim, a Russian peasant who murdered
an English mine manager has been
brought to justice. The story has been
made public by an American mining en-
gineer who has just returned from a
.six-month tour of the mining regions of
western Siberia.
The murderer had resented a rebuke
from the mine manager for whom he
was working. and had sworn vengeance
That evening a shepherd saw the peasant
mount the veranda of the mine man
ayers quarters, where the owner could
be seen sitting with his back to the
window. The miner had pistol in his
right hand and as he raised it to fire he
crossed himself with his left. The peas
ant was too far away to intervene or
even to recognize the assailant hut lie
aid notice that the murderer in crossing
himself, did not seem able to double his
arm at the elbow.
After shooting his victim through the
back the murderer fled. The shepherd
told his story to the authorities and they
at once recalled that the peasant who
had trouble with the mine manager was
the possessor of a stiff left arm. the re-
suit of an accident They arrested the
suspect and tie confessed the murder
after the officers told him his act had
been witnessed

year of sl05,00o.rG0, or the largest return
since the foundation of the MONOPOLY lo2
years ago This vast profit was made
out OF capital of about S30u0o.oU1 or
about one-third the capitalization of the
lately dissolved American Tobacco Com
pany.
visitors to France are inclined to criti-
else the quality of tobacco supplied them.
principally because they are unable to
find their favorite brands such as are
on sale at home. But as Frenchmen
have no knowledge of tobacco in any
form. except such as is supplied them by
the government, they are quite content
with the qualities Of tobacco although
they may grumble al the prices. Much
Of the tobacco smoked in France is
grown in the country itself. The govern
nent keeps a sharp eye on all raisers Of
the leaf. and the whole of the crop must
be sold to the state at a fair appraise-

Retail Rights Guarded.

Twenty great factories work up the
whole of the tobacco manufactured in
France, and the right to retail is jeal-
ously guarded by the state Permits TO
open tobacco shops are usually granted
to widows of officers Of the army and
navy, or of other employees Of the gov
eminent. The widows usually lease their
permits to other persons in consideration
of fixed annual payments. The price OF
a cigar of a given quality is the same
all over France, and the same if one
cigar or a thousand are purchased. The
hotels and restaurants buy their cigars
at the same prices as they are sold
to the general public. but they add from
81 to 100 per cent as their own profit
There are 1920 authorized tobacco
planters in France who grow about
20. )0a0G0 pounds of tobacco on $4,000
acres. The monopoly. besides buying all
the tobacco grown in France, purchases
100000 pounds of foreign grown to
bacco, most of it being American leaf
A French aerial squadron will shortly
attempt to fly across the Sahara desert

afterward they will cross the line of
GASES - far Aoulef. Between Aoulef

King Alfonso of Spain, during his re-
cent visit TO Paris, amazed the French
officials who attended him during the

give the least indication of the effects
of excessive smoking. Alfonso is known
