MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR
Not Alone Must "Weed" Have Proper
Flavor, But Other Things Have to
Be Given Consideration. >~&

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues The first and most important
is good burn-that is. the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold it's fire,
the ash should be coherent and not
fiaky, and there must be no charming
In advance Of the burn.
The second point relates to the
flavor. This is important to the smok-
er-the cigar must tickle his palate
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma. which is the pleasure
giving quality Of the smoke. not only
to the smoker, but to the bystander.
Even though cigar has a rich,
smooth, mellow flavor. it should be
classed as poor one if it gives of
bouquet which Is offensive to all
within range of its fumes
Finally, a cigar should have a good
appearance. Really, it is surprising
how important this is. No matter how,
fine the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma, cigar must look the
part in order to be good Given two
cigars of equal quality, the one which
looks the best will actually taste the
best.-Cigarology of Henry Reist
kraybill of the University Of Chicago

Or REBlZO]D
years ago, was flippant youth when
the Orient was hoary with age-not
hoary with years, years are not a
measurable standard to use-hoary
with age, cons and cons of time
So, as the Turk crouches in his
little remaining corner of Asia Minor,
the Turk of the third Turkish inva-
sion of the region about Trebizond-
as the Turk tries to stand off the Rus
sian glacier which is grinding it's in
exorable way down from the frozen
North, we may we'll wonder at the
haze of mystery that appears in the
dust that the warning hosts raise in
that venerable section.
Bound the West to the East.
The dust of Trebizond was tracked
there by countless caravans of pa
tient camels through countless cen
turtles. The route they followed was
the slender thread of trail that for
centuries bound together the East
and West-the West vigorous in it's
crude barbarity, ornameIfting itself
with the jewels and silks of the East.
Between the avarice of the West
and the riches of the East nature had
put barrier of mountain and desert
which could be penetrated at only a
few places. Unerringly, with the ex-
perience of ages, the caravan leaders
picked the trail 1t ran south 900
miles from Trebizond to Bagdad, the
Bagdad of the Arabian Nights and
Harun al Rashid; it broke over into
Persia on the east and ran $50 miles
to Ispahan; then wound among the
mountains and plains east, always
east, $50 miles to Kandahar in At
ghanistan; then up to Kabul 400 miles
farther and to Jelalabad and through
old Khyber pass into India-a full
1000 miles as the camel trails.
At Khyber pass the caravans divid-
ed, going into far Cathay, into Cash
mere's lovely wales, sung by Lalla
Rookh's minstrel prince, to mysteri-
Gus Mongolia, to all the Oldest tribes

the rest of the world.
This is the stored city, whose dust
is being stirred by the warriors of this
the twentieth century. Perhaps the
very gunpowder that may yet awaken
the echoes in the old camel-trod
streets is now being made in factory
in that crude, upstart land, America,
which Columbus stumbled on when he
was hunting around for a way to cir
cumvent the Ottoman, to beat the
camel drivers by getting there with a
ship.

world from old Venice. Many nations
traded with Trebizond in it's event
full past and everyone in turn waxed
fat and prosperous and fell, until the
Turk came to control the Dardanelles
in 1853, and now Russia seeks to own
the Black sea.
1t was because the Ottoman choked
other traders that Columbus, the son
of proud, rich Genoa, sought an all
water route to the East.
When the first prov from Europe
grated on the shore Of the China sea
and found the coral reefs of India,
then began to dwindle that caravan
trade which for ages beyond number
had brought all the Orient, all Cathay
westward in the shortest way. Then
was doomed the camel traffic. 1t still
persists; long strings of camels from
the Orient still trcci tie streets Of
Trebizond, but there is railway that
brings goods to Batum, in Russian ter
ritory, faster than camels can travel
and Batum has the trade.
But Trebizond is still metropolis,
and the dust of Trebizond which is
disturbed by the war strife carries
with it the romance Of the race and
brings up mirage to the fancy that
includes the brave figures of past as
old as humanity.
Better fifty years Of Europe
Than a cycle of Cathay.
So sang Tennyson; but the cycles Of
Cathay, for all that, have tremendous
human interest, could we but fathom
them and read their story. 1t is the
dust of the desert that settled about
Trebizond, dust that Russian and Turk
are stirring up in the final struggle of
the Ottoman to stem the invasion that
would wrest from him the last rem
nant of his once powerful sway.

SUFFRAGE IN HOLLAND.
Franchise For Women Possible Through Amendment to Constitution.

Correspondence of The Associated Press.D The Hague, Nov. 10.-Woman suffrage has been made an essential part of the governments program In Holland. A bill making suffrage possible through an amendment or the constitutional law of the Neither lands. has just been brought into parliament.
 The bill involves also other changes in the organic law. It proposes to extend the right of voting to all male citizens who have reached the age or 23 and are not excluded by certain disabilities. "and also to female cltl- zens who have reached the same age.
 It is stated that the passage or the bill will not of itself bring sufTraSe into being, but will only pave the way for it. A further revision of the existing electoral law will then De in order putting into effect the princi- pie thus embodied in the constltu- tion.
 The new constitutional amendment also introduces proportional represen- tation in the different representative bodies, the Second Chamber or House or Representatives, the Provincial Councils, and the Municipal Councils. The members of the Senate, CT First Chamber, are elected by the different provincial councils.
