Men and Cigars.

Certainly l will make a few re
marks" said the cigar salesman who,
because of his solemn garb, had been
mistaken for a man Of the cloth. As
cending the platform, he said:
"Men are like cigars. Often you
cannot tell by the wrapper what the
filler IS. Sometimes a good old Stogie
is more popular than an important
celebrity. Some men are all right in
the showcase. on display, but are great
disappOintments when you get them
home. No matter how fine man is.
eventually he meets his match. 4
twO-fer often puts on as many airs as
a fifty-center. Some men never get to
the front at all except during cam
paigns. Some are very fancy outside
and are selected for presents Others
have a rough exterior, but spread
cheer and comfort about them because
Of what is inside. But all men, as all
cigars, good or bad, two-fers, stogies.

Realize Your Castles In tho Air.

We use the poetic expression, "cas-
ties in SPAIN we speak likewise of
building castles in the air." we make
light sometimes of the one given to
building castles in the air, but castles
in the air are always necessary. and
they invariably precede castles on the
ground-castles in which to live. The
trouble many times with the one who
is given to building castles in the air
is that he hasn't sustaining force, yes,
mental force, if you please, and doesn't
so forward and by daily work and ap-
plicatiOn externalize in material form
the castles he thus builds in the air

A "Sufferin, Bishop Smiles.

"As l stood outside its door the 9th
er day" says writer, concerning the
Athenaeum club, II saw bishop-a
humble suffragan-drive up in han
som and bid the unpaid cabman wait
while he went into the club. a minute
or two later out came real bishop,
who guilelessly got into the waiting
hanson, and, being mistaken by the
cabman for his original fare. was
straightway driven off. Then issued
the suffragan. whose inquiries for his
cab led to his being informed by a
second cabman that it had been taken
by another gent in leggin's.'
"Piqued at this ribald allusiOn to the
episcopal garb, the suffragan turned on
his heel. But as he replaced his purse
in his pocket | marked the frown pass
into smile Of satisfaction when he
realized how the wind was tempered
to the shorn lamb." -Westminster Ga

Barney.

A certain comedian once engaged a
particular Dublin jarvey to drive him
to his hotel
What do owe you, Pat?" he asked
at the end of the journey.
81 laive it to yerself, yer 'onor," said
the coachman.
mo. no. retorted the comedian.
You must tell me what the amount is,
or else l shall have to call a constable
and ask him what the proper fare
comes to-"
"Well. yer 'onor. it's loike this" said
the jarvey. when the late Sir Henry
Irving came to Dublin he used to give
me a sovereign. Mr.. Lewis Waller
gave me FIVE and twenty shillings and
Mr. Martin Harvey thirty shillings;
but, begorra. you're better actor than
any of them. so l laive it to yerself."
What the cabby finally got Is not

PLANS FOR MORE CAR LINES.
Negotiate With AIgiers Railway

Negotiate With Algiers Railway
Plans for a fve-mile trolley or
motor traction line from the United
States naval reservation through Au-
rora plantation to the limits of Riv-
erside subdivision and Orleans place
have been completed by the River
side Southern Railway Company, a
new corporation of 100000 CAPT
tai, recently chartered. The COM
pany has its right of way signed up
and is negotiating with the Algiers
electric line, which now has its ter
minus at the south end of the naval
reservation, for a traffic agreement
to use its line from the Canal street
ferry landing. If these are success
full the new line will electrify its
service. If not it will probably be
a motor traction line.
The service will be every 80 min
utes for the five mile extension, but
ii is intended to make a lop around
through the Hero drainage district
tract as soon as the Jefferson-Pla-
quemines region is made dry, so
that there will be a 20 mile railway
around through the Riverside sub
division and back to Canal street
This is a future consideration, how
ever, but the present line will be
constructed as soon as possible. The
line will follow a road 1000 feet
back from the main highway, back
of the levee.

TREE OF LIGHT TO
Shine FOR YEARS
Silent Committee Busy on
Community Christ
mas Plans.

To make sure that this city will always
have community Christmas tree In
Madison Square Park the group or
'idealists" VINO made such q tree pos
sible Is taking steps TO accomplish some
ate the celebration.
One OF the fundamental principles,
however, will be secrecy OF membership.
Announcement was made yesterday by
the "dealists" that plans were already
under way for the celebration during the
Yuletide season a year hence.
The tree is already picked out" said
one of the group. But that is not all.
A number OF churches have volunteered
help for next year"
Indications that the community tree
would hereafter be a nationwide custom,
It was contended, were shown In the one
hundred community trees which were the
centre Of Christmas celebrations from one
end Of the country TO the other during
the recent holidays.
In a year, Il was pointed out. the idea
had grown to far exceed the fondest ex-
pectations. Many letters have arrived
from committees In charge Of different
trees relating 10 what should be done 10
make the ceremonies Of greater slgnifi-
canoe next Christmas New York has
been accepted az the pioneer in the mat
ter, and other cities want TO model their
plans along the lines followed here.
To-day the Star OF Hope will be erected
again on the site In Madison Square Park
from which it was temporarily removed
to make way for the giant Christmas tree.
, II will shine every night until removed
10 make way for the tree again, shortly
before next Christmas Eve.
One of the plans evolved by the
'idealists" is TO have a bank account for
the Tree Of Light Under that name the
Plaza branch Of the Union Trust Com
pany is now carrying an account, and to
il contributions are sought for the tree
next year.
The expense for the undertaking was
much less this year than a year ago. One
item OF considerable reduction was the
procuring OF the tree from Long Island
| instead of from the Adrondacks. as was
done in the case OF the first tree. 1t cost
heavily TO get Il out of the woods and
have IT brought here.
THE keynote of the whole celebration,
said one OF the "idealists" yesterday, us
10 make II as simple as possible, and TO
that end every effort is being made. The
! idea is 10 have a Tree Of Light every year
and music. and all for the least eXpendi-
| ture possible"
