WHY, CIGAR BAND?
Topeka Tobacco Dealers Say
Smokers Like EN-.
And Still They Tear Them on
Before Smoking.

Why is a cigar band2 What's the
idea of a contraption that increases
the expense of marketing the smoke,
is a nuisance to the smoker, and
doesn't help the quality of the fumi-
cation a little bit?
The answer is that most men won't
buy unbranded cigars with the same
facility that they will the banded ones
And as a rule, the fussier the band the
bigger price they will pay without
question for the band, according to
one cigar stand man in Topeka
Il always thought cigar bands were
a useless nuisance" he said. "Prac-
tically every purchaser of a banded
cigar removes the wrapper immediate
ly. but the cigars do sell better with
the bands on
Cigars may be secured from the
manufacturers with or without bands,
according to order. but most of the
dealers have learned to order them
with corsets on
1T isn't because the brand of q ci-
gar is more easily identified with the
band on" said the dealer IF a man
knows a cigar we'll enough to know he
wants it, he will know the shape and
color of it SO well that band is un-
necessary. Anyhow, we can't change
cigars from one box to another.
can't tell why the banded cigars are
more popular than the others, but
they are"
One of the disadvantages to the or
namented smoke pointed out by the
same dealer is the fact that in remov-
ing the paper band. which is always
the first thing a cigar purchaser does
one is very apt to break the wrapper
of the cigar and injure its smoking
qualities, decidedly

NOT A FAIRY STORY
By G. G. C.
Another Plaintiue Appeal in Behalf of SDeet
Charity in Topeka.
By G. C. c.

Perhaps some of you who read
''Our Jim" in the State Journal,
thought it fairy story, perhaps some
of you did not read it at all, but there
were some who did read it and called
up our chairman and gave her a share

We had the tonneau of the automo-
bile quite full of bundles which we
were taking to our distributing agent
when We got into the mud and skid
Ged about so that we were afraid to
go farther without the protection of
mud-chains, SO an obIiging delivery
man with horse and wagon took the
bundles the rest of the way.
But the report of our distributor
more than repaid US for all of our
trouble. Two mothers, one with five
small children, and the other with sew
dren needing school clothes, were
especially grateful for the clothes and
shoes.
If the mother who put in the child's
wardrobe could have seen the little
girl of 5, with her newly acquired pos
sessions. the little dresses and petit
coats over her arm-she could not let
go of them long enough to have them
py over her new outfit-that mother
would have been repaid many fold
for her gifts.

ONLY A DAD.

Only dad, with a tired face
Coming home from the daily race
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game,
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.
Only dad, of a brood of four;
One of ten million men or more.
Flooding along in the daily strife.
Bearing the whips and scorns of life
With never whimper of pain or hate
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only dad neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd
Toiling, striving, from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way:
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small;
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him;
This is the line that for him pen,
Only dad, but the best of men.

Shortly thereafter, Detroit voted four to for

But do not get Municipal Ownership. The reason is
because have not had Mayor since Hazen 81 Pingree

We have had several genuine Municipal Ownership men
run Mayor but Connolly and his machine have beaten
them either at the primaries the polls

medieval rabbinic authority, the
wedding-ring is simple golden cir
clct without stones and that has>al-
ways been the prevailing custom, al
though rings of silver or of cheaper
metal were permissible if the bride
was informed of the fact. There
are some instances, however, in
which mention is made Of a we'd
ding-ring of gold with pearls, and
even of one with false stones.
In those days Jewish women we're
not in the habit of wearing their
wedding-rings, most of which were
of an enormous size, with very
prominent ornamentation. There
are samples of old wedding-rings
the hoops of which are formed of
two cherubim crowned by model
of the Temple of Jerusalem, or of a
synagogue with a small tower. 9th
ers again consist of hoops richly dec
GRATED with rosettes, lion-heads and
the like. Instead of wearing them,
the rings were occasionally used as
bouquet holders, myrtle branches
being inserted in them at weddings.
The old rings also bore an inscrip-
ton consisting of the words "Mazol
Tov."

generosity in an endeavor to
safeguard the families and de-

policy. The married men were in
