It degrades the citizen, debases the

w lth the malevolence of a fiend It
calmly surveys Its frightful desolation

blights confidences, slays reputation,

curses the world and laughs at Its
ruin.

A Happy Medium.
(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

“Last week death robbed me of my

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

Mrs. Craigie’e Wit.
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.

What Rural Carriers Must and Must
Not Do.
(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.
The one fatal mistake which is
committed habitually by people who
have tbe scarcely desirable gift of
is "waiting for ln8D’*’i ! m.’’
