to that question much depended. The

samples were the first products of a new

A Copt of the charter of the Imperial
Tobacco company of Great Britain and
Ireland, together with the articles of the
association and a power of attorney to
James MacDonald to repreeent tbe cor
poration in this country, has been filed
m the chancery court at Richmond, Ya
The primary object of the association is
to acquire and take over certain of the
principal tobacco manufacturingconcerns
In the United Kingdom, to carrry on not
only the business of manufacturers, but
that also of planters and growers, ex
porters, importers and merchants. i
The coT"-y may prepare for market,
manufacture, buy and sell tobacco to
gether with machinery, and may own to
bacco saloons, cafes, or carry on the busi
ness of refreshment contractors and li
censed victuallers. They may charter
ships or vessels; may undertake all kinds
of financial guarantee or indemnity busi
ness, as well as all kinds of agency busi
ness; the company may lay out land for
building purposes, - may acquire license
and enter Into agreement with govern
ments or authorities, supreme, municipal
or local. Tbe capital stock of the com
pany Is 6,000,000. ;

One of the Naval Reserves, writing to
his mama, from Charleston, says: "We
are having a nice time now and are en

Some of the boys were crying, some were
praying, some would curse awhile and

That was a beautiful sight yesterday.
when the sun, at noon, had crowned It
self with a halo of glory. The ring was
very large much larger than the one fre
quently seen around . the moon. The
northern and the southern arcs were pe
culiarly brilliant; while those on the east
and on the west were scarcely discerni

Solar Halo, and portends some violent

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.
V
Order of Arrest laauad at Kings
ton In 1767
. All the way from Mount Vernon, Davi
son county, South Dakota, comes a doc
ument of historical interest in Klnston,
being an order of court Issued In Klnston
in 1767, when King George III bossed
things in this country.
V It is interesting to note that our fore
fathers were as prone to nee "force and
arms" as some of .their descendants of
tbe present day.
The document was forwarded by Mr.
i John M. Ro well, who does not explain
how it came In h's possession. It follows

tance, and coming to a farm house he
met the dwner of the woods and asked
and was granted permission to hunt fn
them. He asked the farmer if it was a
good place to bunt and the farmer, who
stuttered, replied: "Y-y-es, it.s a f-f-flne
p-p-placeto h-b-hunt." So the Nlmrod
marched off to tbe woods, and with eye
and ears alert he tramped around for
three hours without seeing so much as
tbe shadow of a buzzard. Then he went
back to the owner and indignantly said:
"You told me there was good hunting In
those woods.' " Y-y-yes, I said it was a '

Apropos of the experience of the blue
jackets on the Hornet a story has been re
ceived about a well known Klnston mer
chant who while down at the shore went
out In a boat with a friend. A sudden
gale kicked up a lively sea and the "land
lubbers" not being skilled in keeping "her
bead to the wind, the boat was shipping
water at an alarming rate. Then came
that ackno wledgment of an all-seeing eye
and an all-saving power which comes to
even the most Irreverent alleged unbeliever
in moments of dire peril, and the mer
chant began to pray and this Is about
the way his companion, who thought It
S very good and fervent prayer at the
time, says It ran: "Oh, Lord, excuse me
for bothering you; I don't call on you of
