To Prohibit Cigarettes.

The president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company recently
said to his department heads:
1t has been noted that num-
Der of our young men are appar-
emily regular smokers of cigarets
Even though the habit may not
be indulged in our office. it is
just as Objectionable and as
much a matter of concern to the
company if carried on out of
office hours. 1t is we'll known
that persistent smoking of ciga-
rets will finally result in either
mental or physical breakdown,
and sometimes both, We, there
fore, cannot regard one with this
habit as qualified for advance
ment, and the interest of the
company demands that it should
have in it's employ only such as
are, or will be, capable of doing
better work than they are doing
today. You will, therefore,
please advise your clerks that
cigaret smoking will not be
tolerated, and that those who
are not willing to cease the habit
shall seek employment else
where.

~ the case Of a Belgian boy only
fourteen years old. On a road
which was much used for transport we
noticed that nearly every night some
of our officers would be shot. This
went on for some time, and no n
could explain it. One day one Of our
fellows brought in this kid and said
that he had found him with a German
rifle and ammunition in his possession.
The boy was cross examined and
finally admitted that it was he who
had been shooting officers on the Ouder-
dom road. He said that he had been
faEhished with the rifle and told where
he got his ammunition every day. He
said be had instructions not to shoot
any officers with red on their uniform
(staff officers. Now. why he should
have received such an order as this
was a mystery to me.
He said that he had been at 1t for
two weeks. and during that time he
had bagged sixteen officers. He said
he received 6 francs (abOut S1.2O for
every officer he shot. He was taken
to the e a and shot at once. We tried
to follow up the Information he had
given as to where he had received his
ammunition, but his friends had al

A DREAM.

One upon a time a farmer had 1
1000 bushels Of wheat which 4
he sold, not to mill, but to 1000
different men a bushel each. I
Now a few Of the fellows paid
cash on delivery but the great
er number said they would pay
later. After a few months had
passed the rancher's bank ac- .
count ran low. "How's this?" :
<My 1000 bushels of wheat :
should have kept me in afflu- :
ence until another crop is rails :
ed, but ] have parted with the :
grain and instead l have a vast
number of accounts so small :
and scattered that / cannot get
around and collect even enough
to pay expenses" So he sent
out notices and asked all those
who owed him to please pay
quickly. But few paid, the
others reasoned, Mine is only
a small matter and l will pay
some other day." forgetting
that though each account was
small, when they all were put
together they meant a large
sum to this man. Things went
on thus and he began to feel so
bad that he fell out Of bed and
awoke. He went out to his
ATanary where he found his
1000 bushels of wheat. He had
only been dreaming. The next
day the man went to the editor
and said" Here, sir, is the pay
in full for your paper and when
next years subscription is due
you can depend on me to pay
