of the courts if nothing worse
occurs.

The lesson most forcibly im

is to be always wagging the jaws
with chewing gum, and even
strikes at the sloppy outrage of
passing the gum from one mouth
to another. She loves and woos
one that she could not make
happy with her uncouth man
ners and finally marries one as
unrefined as herself and is happy
in her way of rudeness to him.
This detestible habit of bor

poverished was well played to
tho shame of tho practice.

Robert Downing is the star of
the troupe of course. He has a
deep bass voice, but it is culti

falls like music on the oar. He
plays as though he were trying
not to play, and tho effect wa;
very pleasing.
It Effcts Tobacco Dealers.
Numbers of our merchants
who deal in tobacco are making
a change in some of their brands
since they notice that the revenue
law 'forbids them giving away
any parcel with each package.
It effects a number of brands of
smoking tobacco where with
each package the dealer would
givo the buyer a? package of
cigarette .papers, while with
some other packages one would
be given a pipe.' All of these
things will now be taken from
o ' ,
the packages and. you get only
tobacco when you buy.
