(Baltimore Sun.) The dyspeptic looking little man facing the magistrate had lust been asked what he had to say to the charge of striking the woman. “It was this way. your ho .tor.” he replied “Judge. I am a man of moods —of mental exti ernes. One moment I am In a slate of exhlli*rtion and I see the world through rose-colared lenses. The next moment I am plunged into the s oughs of despond.

Here it is: ’Madam Rozetti, clairvoyant trance medium and palm 1st. She brings you face to face with the departed loved ones.’ I made up my mind to take a chance. She was disengaged when I called and gave me a sitting at once. “ ‘Can you put me in communica tion with William Hazazer?’ I asked “ 'I can,’ she renlied, 'for $d.’ "I planked down the three and said. ‘Come on, Bl I.’ After gathering in the "Pin she began to take on.

The late Mrs. Cralgle, the noted novelist, was Invited to address a meeting while In New York city last year. She accepted the Invitation, but her name, through some over sight. was put far down on the pro gramme, and, worse than that, the chairman, a rather stupid person, in troduced before her some speakers, who were not on the programme at al'. In short. It was close on to 11 o’clock when the chairman, with a pleasant smile, bowed and said: "Mrs. Cralgie. the eminent author, will now give us her address." Mrs. Cralgle rose and said, calmly: “My address is No. 36 Lancaster Gate, Hyde Park W., London, and I now wish you all good night, for I am far from home.” Schnapps Tobacco b Made ENTIRELY from Floe Cared . Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country. T The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps Quality Only On the Outside I Of the Plug : Hundreds of imitation brands are • . . .a - on sale that look like Sohnapps to bacco. The ootside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to bacco. The color,, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are claimed to be “just as good" as - Schnapps, but there is only one gen- I uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters j on the tag, and stamped on the plug 3 under the tag spell SC-H-N-A-P-P-S < ■ and then you have it—the most ? wholesome tobacco produced, with *j just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of i the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove | that this flue cured tobacco, grown - in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, ] stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers* If the tobacco you are chewing don’t satisfy you more than the mere 1 habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. \ to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is 5 sold at 50c. per pound, in 5c cuts* strictly 10c and 15c. plugs. R. J.

(The Postmaster's Advocate.) “Now that the rural free delivery system has been so extended in this country—In fact, it will be but a short timp when the merry rural free de livery carrier will he trotting over tne snows and icy peaks of Alaska—the department Is In constant receiot of letters as to what rural carriers may carry on their routes besides them -elves and their mail.’’ said a post- office department official to the Ad v c.cate. “In the first place, they can’t carry anv liquid that stimulates, either on the inside or outside of their persons; intoxication means Instant dismissal, and they are dismissed when they are detected drinking even off their routes. Nor ar° they permitted to carry splrltous liquors for the ac commodation of their patrons; per- soal friendship doesn't go with the department in theee cases, and no ex ceptions are made with the rule. “Rural carriers must carry the mail and nothing e -e. even though busi ness houses seek efttlmes to mak? er rand bo'-g of them. Carriers must rot. either In person or through oth ers. directly or Indirectly, solicit money, glfta or presents; nor Issue for profit souvenirs or postal hand books. nor cooperate with or assist the publishers of the same to secure the patronage of the public. They are also barred frem compiling or as sistin'' In the compiling of directo rloa for nubile use. Business firms with large mall lists have caused us a great deal of trouble In attempting to engage the carriers as their agents, so we have strictly prohibited them from furnishing the names and addresses of patrons cn their routes for pay or favor to any business es tablishment. or to any Individual ex cept to the department officials who are entitled to them under the regu lations. “The department has received let ters from patrons complaining be cause the carriers refused to carry their milk cans. This Is funny, but it is true, and It shows what some pea nle In the country think the rural ae- nartment service was established for. Carriers are not permitted to carry nassongers, nor to permit any per son other than authorized postal offi cials to ride with them or to have access to the malls. They must not engage in any business during their nrescrlbed houri of service or to con ‘luct any business after hours which offers temptation to solicit patron age on their routes, or which, by reason of their positions in the gov ernment service gives them special advantages over competitors "We rigidly bar them from acting as bool-canvassers. Insurance solic itors. sewing machine agents or act ing as agent of any kind or occupa tion. We allow carriers to carry merchandise for hire upon the re quest of patrons whenever it will not Interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties under such regulations as the department may prescribe. Country stprekeeners try to use tbe carriers’ vehicles aa deliv ery wagons, but the government is not In that sort of business. We al low the carriers to receive no com pensatlon from the seller of mereban dise, and where the merchandise is carried on the request of the pat rons for hire for the carrying, car rying must be paid by the patrons “We get thousands of letters from a ] ever the country just on this one point—what carriers may carry on their routes. If the rural delivery natrons would only remember that the government is not In the exnress business, they would save themselves, the carriers and the department * great deal of trouble ’’ It is not work that kills men. it Is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardlv put more upon a man than he ran bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. Just Where the Trouble Lies. (Greenville News.) The Columbia correspondent of the Newd and Courier says Charleston is the only city in the State b o ~'de« Co- umbia that is capable of taking care of the cro- " that visit the State Kair. That Is the trouble with Colum bia now. The impression has become deep rooted there that the State Fair is an everlasting fixture and that there is no possible way of having it transferred to another city. It Is Just that sort of feeling which makes Co lumbians indifferent to the treatment of Fair visitors. This same correspondent sazs for the same reason the State Confed- e.ate Veterans continue to meet in Columbia. The News doesn’t agree with the News and Courier corres oondent, hot. even granting this what he says Is true. It isn’t com- •"’Isorv upon the people of South Carolina that they should continue to visit Columbia on such occasions and be improperly treated. There is always a possibility of running a thing in the ground, it maters not how much the peonJe want it. An Ecclesiastical Hat A milliner who works In a large city says that one day a woman came into the store very much excited and wanted tbe trimming on her new hat changed. She said that It had been trimmed on the wrong side. “But,’’ said the saleswoman, “the trimming la on the left side. That Is where It ought to be.’* “It doesn’t make any difference whether It ought to be In front or baeb or right or left, it’a got to be on the church side.” “Church side!” gasped the aston ished girl. “Yes. church side! I sit right n°xt to the wall In church, and I’m not go ing to have all that trimming pext tbe wall. I want it on tbe other side, so the whole congregation can see It.” The trimming was promptly placed on the “church side” of the hat. From the same material, on* buUds oalaces and another hovels, one rears a stately edifice, while his brother-— vacillating and Incompetent—lives forever amid rulna.
