I THERE IS A REASON FOR CHEWING REYNOLDS' SUN CURED TOBACCO Chewers becoming tired of heavily sweetened sun cured tobaccos caused REYNOLDS' SUN CURED to quick ly win from the old brands of much longer standing the place as favorite with sun cured chewers, because it contains iust enough proper sweetening and fla voring to preserve the quality of the leaf and enhance its goodness, causing a large increase in the demand for sun cured j tobaccos. REYNOLDS' SUN CURED is not only pure sun cured, but it is made from choice selections of the genuine sun cured leaf grown where the best sun cured tobacco grqws. It is like that you |! formerly got, costing from 60c. to $1.00 | per pound, and is sold at 50c. per pound i in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. plugs, and is the best value in sun cured tobacco that can I be produced for chewers.

Inulicl tiArrlson, U'Hdi'r of the Movement. Ilojra Arc to Be Drilled to He Hold ntld <"hi V alrotin nnd ImmiiI When They (ironr l'l? uml Fight For the Hlght. Cervantes must bare turmgl over In liis icrine the other duy. Three Uun ilreti years has he lain it) pe&re. and during those years the adventures of ' the lHin Quixote whom he made to live ujkui the printed i?ige have driven | from England and from Frunce, from , Italy and from his own Spain the feu dal practices which he was the first to j ridicule. It lias remained for Chicago to do the ] uuexiieeted, says the Chicago l'ost And Chicago has done 1L Chivalry Is j to be the order of the day. Knights | errant an' to walk down State street and on Jackson boulevard; ladies fair | are to reward with ribbons and with smiles the deeds of greatness done by their favored champions. Chicago is | to be the city chivalrous. All these surprising things which are \ to happen to Chicago were made known at u luncheon given at noon as a fare well to Mrs. Isaliel Garrison, who Is 1 to spend the summer In Europe. Mrs. I Garrison Is the leader In the move- I ment for bringing the days of chivalry j into the prosaic present. Eleven j friends gathered with her at a table to typify the twelve knights who erst while sat at the round table of King Arthur and recounted the deeds of valor thev luul done. When the Coffee and the cheese had been placed upon the table Mrs. Garri son outlined her plans for the enno bling of the youth of the land and the beautifying of the city. Orders of knights errant are to be or ganized umoug the lioys of the gram mar schools of Chicago. Each chapter is to be presided over by his majesty King Arthur and shall lie named for one of the Arthurian knights, with the exception of the chapter royal, which shall lie called Chevalier de la Salle. Each boy who would tie a knight er rant must tuke the following oath: "Hereby I solemnly do promise serv ice, loyalty and declare my allegiance to Chicago, my city chivalrous, to be her faithful knight henceforth." Truth, gentleness, kindness to ani mals as well as to humankind, faith fulness and Industry?these are the knightly qualities which the members of the order will be expected to exem plify. The shield for the chapters will bear three C's, for "Chicago, City Chival rous," and the shield for the chapter | royal shall be the Arthurian shield J upon an American eagle, with the words from Tennyson, "And Arthur ? shall come again." Mrs. Garrison offers a prize of $25 to J the boy who shall do the most for the furthering of the orders, and while in Europe she will secure a full suit of armor which shall be worn by the King Arthur of the Chevalier de La Salle. "We hope to make Chicago a safer j place to live by teaching the citizens of j tomorrow the lessons of uprightness j nnd honesty," said Mrs. Garrison re cently. "The stories of tlie ktMghts will take the places of the vicious dime j novels, and the use of the chlvalric symbols will appeal to the dramatic In stinct In the boys. We do not intend to take the matter up with the board of education, but hope to have the help of teachers in forming our orders." MRS. LONGWORTH'S PET. A ( at Iteaoacd From l,<Mi?lon Gamin* by the I*reni?lent*fi Duuicltter. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the presl dMit's daughter, lias picked up a mas cot, says a London cable dispatch to the Kansas City Tlines. Soon after her arrival In London she started from Dorchester House one morning to do some shopping. As she drove down Park lane she saw two small boys with a black cat, which they were apparently trying to stran gle with a piece of string. She immedi ately ordered the carriage stopped and Jumped out. I . "What are you two young imps do ing?" she asked. "Please, uiiss, we think 'e's mad," said the elder, "and we are going to choke 'im, so as nobody can't catch Idrofoby from 'im." "If you don't give the pussy to me at once," said Mrs. Longworth, "I'll see that a policeman catches you." The gamins immediately banded over j the kitten and fled headlong. Mrs. Longworth, before resuming her I shopping tour, drove back with the cat to Dorchester House. She has chris | tened it "John Bull" and has an nounced her intention of taking It with her to America us a mascot John Bull Is already devoted to his rescuer and is introduced to nil the nristocratic visitors to I>orchester House. So One Above Hira. During the recent royal procession in Yokohama, Japan, in marked contrast to the seas of heads that we are accus tomed to see in the upper stories of the houses In England on similar oc casions, nothing but blank windows were to be seen, says the North China nerald, due to the fact that In Japan nobody Is allowed to look down upon ! the emperor. T. R. This Is the month, says the Columbia i State, when Oyster Bay has an L in It BUYiri, iJOWS. Matrimonial Tn' .c. ' j in the Day* of C* valry. "Of till tl mat tnoniul traffick ing in the age of chivalry the ways of widows," say> a writer in an English magazine, "are at once the boldest and most # >rn]ire ie isive. As a rule their methods setrio.n re sort to blandishments. It f re markable when tenderm ^ is an item in their bargain. Sjteed was their maxim. It was one that King John honored, for he profited by it. Vet one of the rarest exceptions in the way of delicacy to these com mercial negotiations has evidently '?ecu prompted by a widow who had ipnte an exceptional lover. In lSOti William tie Landa, either one of the most famous of the crusaders or his son, oifers 50 marks and a palfrey for having to wife Joan, who was the wife of Thomas d'Aresey, 'if he may tie pleasing to the said Joan.' The sheriff is instructed to ascertain the widow's wishes, 'and if the said Joan shall be pleased to have him for a huslwnd then the sheriff shall cause William to have seizin of Joan and her land,' both of which he ob tained in the name of gentle love and the faith of a true soldier. It is fitting that the name of one of the men who led the assault of Acre should ho preserved in such a record as the above. He was in truth a very perfect knight. "One of the most rampageous of the northern English borderers manifested the like delicacy. Young Walter dc Fmfraville, son of Gil bert, had left a widow, Emma, pre sumably in the very blush of her charms. Peter de Yaux had fallen 1? .1 I:??J ui. tin iiri, irui iu.* uwiiumi uir tain her in border fashion, and this fact is the earnest pledge of the chivalry of his low. If he would not steal her he wis hound to buy her, and coin with the lite Yanx was always a scarcity. So ho offered the king 5 palfreys for her 'if she wished it,' and with u'hat would read as a graceful acknowledgment of the borderer's pure chivalry John absolutely drops the commercial from his reply and simply orders Robert Fit2 Roger, the sheriff, 'to permit it to be done.' " Th? Mosaic Law and Marriage. More than two centuries ago a tailor living in Carrie was admon ished by the kirk to stop courting has first wife's half brother's daugh ter. Instead of yielding oliedienoe he fled to England with the woman and there married her, according to the Dundee Advertiser. A jury unanimously found him guilty, and the court ordered him to be be headed. The rcjiorter suggests that on the death of a wife her sister is no longer within the degree forbid den by the Mosaic law, nor is his brother's wife on the death of that brother. In fact, to marry a broth er's widow wns an express injunction of that law, and if the surviving brother declined the match the wid ow was entitled by that elegant and dignified system of jurisprudence to ?spit in his face. One Better. " An Englishman who was enter, taining his American cousin was continually annoyed by lieing re-' minded of the superiority of tilings American. A number of attempts to show young Jonathan something that distanced American progress all resulted unsatisfactorily, and the Englishman in desperation es corted the cousin to Mount Vesu vius. "Well," exultingly exclaimed the Englishman, "you haven't anything like that in America," "Well, no," replied the American as he watched the outpouring of smoke, "but we have a little Niagara falls over there that would put the whole thing out in a minute."?La dies' Home Journal. Warning of the Green Light. An old sea captain was talking about the colored signal lights of -hips. "In the past," he said, "all lights were white. The colored light is a comparatively recent invention. I once knew a young Scottish sailor to whom the new colored lights were an unknown thing. As he stood at the wheel of his sloop one night a big steamer hove in sight, and the boy saw the great red and green lights for the first time. "He rammed down the helm with a loud veil. " 'Presarvc us!' he shouted. 'We're goin' richt into the 'pothecary shop at Peebles!"'?Detroit News. \*e II Recommended. There is a story told of the late Dr. Tait, archbishop of Canterbury, when he applied for his letters to some village postmaster in the I.and o' Cakes. "And ye'll be the arch bishop noo!" cried the little shop keeper, peering urbanely at his grace over his spectacles. "Weol, I've h'ard tell o' ye frae my son, who is wetl placed in London and has h'ard ye preach. And, indeed, he was verra weel satisfied wi' your dis course." 9 SOME CHINESE JOKES. Having Fun With the Barber, PortraN Painter and Doctor. If there is any truth in what ex pert jesters tell us, the world's stock of good, original jokes is ludicrously small?a dozen or two at the very outside. An early investigator into this momentous question, a certain Hierocles, who lived some 1,500 years ago, put the number in his day at exactly twenty-one. The re searches of Hierocles probably did not extend so far eastward as China, so there is no impropriety in asking now whether some of the jokes which abound in the literature of the Celestial empire are entitled to the honor of originality or not. Here are three specimens: A careless barber, trimming a customer's ears?Chinese barbers pay particular attention to this part of the human anatomy?put his pa tient to great pain and uneasiness. "Are you doing my left ear now?" asked the victim. "No, sir: I've not quite finished the right ear yet." "Ah, I fancied you were trying to pass through to the left without go ing around!" A portrait painter without cli ents was advised by a friend to paint a likeness of himself and his wife and hang it in some conspicuous place, so that would be customers might judge of his skill. He did so, and his father-in-law the next time he called immediately saw the picture. "Prav," asked the visitor-, "what woman bait; you represented there?" "Why,1 sir, do you not rec ognize your own daughter?" "My daughter!" was the indignant an "If vnu intent! tliiit. tn rpn resent my daughter, how dare you paint her sitting thus intimately with a man whom I have never seen before and who must be an entire stranger to her?" The painter's feelings need not be described. The gibes at doctors are innumer able. The following is a typical ex ample: One of the judges in the nether regions dispatched an imp to this world of ours to seek out and bring back a good doctor. "When," the imp was instructed, "you come to the house of a doctor before which you descry no complaining ghosts you will know you have found a man of the kind wanted." The messen ger set out, but in front of every doctor's door he came to there was an immense throng of angry spirits proclaiming the wrongs they had suffered when in the flesh at the hands of the medicine man. Final ly, however, he reached a house where there was but one solitary ghost flitting backward and forward. "This is my man," he said to him self. "lie must surely be a clever fellow." When the imp came to make inquiries, however, he learned that the practitioner had barely been in practice for a day.?Grand Magazine. # --3S? Nothing Unusual. Two neighbors were confiding their troubles to each other over the back yard fence that separated their premises. - - a < "You know," said Mrs. Higgins, "that mv husband is a carpenter?" "Yes.1' "Well, 1 give you my word that all our upstairs rooms are unfin ished, and the roof leaks whenever it rains, and I can't get Henry to do a thing to 'em!" "You're not any worse off than I am," said Mrs. Clingham. "You know my husband used to be a fire man on a locomotive ?" i es. "Well, just as true as I stand here, I always have to get up in the morning and make the fire!"? Youth's Companion. Apology Unr>ccessary. In the days when it was common for the younger son to go into the church one of these young gentle men had charge of an outlying chap el. A Sunday or two after his ordi nation he found himself there in the afternoon with only the sermon in his pocket that he had preached there in the morning, and so the unfortunate curate had to give it over again. He began after service to make profuse apologies to the clerk, when that functionary polite ly stopped him by saying: "Lor' bless ee, Master Charles, don't ee take on so! We never lis tens to ee!"?London Tit-Bits. Last Call For Bargains In Iron. An enterprising ironmonger in a 6mall country town recently posted the following announcement in front of his shop: "The reason why I have hitherto been able to sell my goods so much cheaper than anybody else is that I am a laiehelor and do not need to make a profit for the maintenance of a wife and children. It is now my duty to inform the public that this advantage will shortly be with drawn from them, as I am about to be married. They will, therefore, do well to make their purchases at once at the old rate."?London TeL egraph.
