He HITS At KNOCKERS"
TOpekan Brands His Cigarettes for
Friends With "Gimmes."

The after effect of the war in a lot
of cases resulted IL many persons &C.
quiring the "mooching" habit. They
"mooch" meals. drinks. clothes. motor
cars-and even girls. when they get a
chance.
A Topeka man seemed to find the
cigarette moocher" the most expen-
,sive and troublesome. the most per-
sistent, continual offender and the
hardest to deal with. "Moochers'
often kick about what they receive
for their efforts. They condemn,
ridicule and abuse your own taste
many times while accepting the favor.
This man figured out a way to deal
with them. He had special cigarette
made. He uses this particular brand
on habitual, offenders. On one side
where the name is usually printed on
a cigarette there is printed a pertinent
slogan:

Visions OF Ol Fortune Bring G. r.
Crawford From London to U. S.
If dreams come true, c. P. Craw-
ford, brother of Roy Crawford, of To-
peka, will make his fortune in oil, for
to dreams only does he attribute his
presence in Ell Paso, Texas, he claims.
Visions of spouting wells and yellow
gold drew him from his home in Lon
don to the oil fields of Texas. and
they were not "day-dreams," either.
Whether these dreams will come true.
however, time alone will tell.
"A dream brought me to FL Paso."
said Crawford to a reporter. for the
FL Paso Herald, recently. MY father,
l.. NJ. Crawford, nearly two years ago,
wrote me at London, where 1 have
resided for the past fifteen years. that
FL Pasoans were trying to promote a
company to drill-for oil near Canu-
tillo. and he had been asked to sub
scribe. as he owned 2,400 acres in the
valley. About the same time, had a
letter from my sister in ST. Louis.
saying that while on a visit to Topeka,
Kan, she had her fortune told by an
old negress, and the negress had told
her she had a brother over the seas
who was going to make his fortune in
oil. Shortly after this my brother
Roy. formerly manager of the Craw-
ford theater in this city, wrote me that
he had had a dream in which oil was
gushing from gushers on land owned
by my father and that was very
prominent in this picture
AT Torquay, Devonshire, England.
about that time, I was a witness of
the landing of a huge monster of the
sea in front of my hotel. 1 was one
OF the first on the scene and I re-
member the nature of the net which
had been ripped in a dozen or more
places, and the fishermen pointing out
to me the saw-like fins of the fish.
This fish caused quite a commotion
in this little watering place and the
fishermen were specializing how much
oil would be got from the carcass.
That night 1 had a dream. I
dreamed of my sister having her
fortune told by an old negress; I saw
myself standing amidst a thousand
derricks gushing out oil and I saw
this huge sea monster and a thousand
more just like him sitting on the tops
of these thousand derricks spouting
oil. The very next morning left for

on. There was a medium sized one.

How much?
only five dollars.
If the man hadn't had both elbows

it necessary to pick him UP from off

Next she wanted a SASH One of
