PRINCE'S KNOCKOUT ROQUETS
The Lonely Life
The Tragic Confession of a Spinster, Who
Realties That No Fame or Wealth Can
Compensate for the Solitude of Her Life.
In this article the author, whose name for obvious
reasons we are not at liberty to disclose, drops for
once the mask which she in common with other
"Bachelor Maids," is accustomed to turn to the world.
Though no longer young, she frankly says she longs
for the companionship of a husband and the care of
children. The circumstances which have kept from
her the happiness which these blessings bring are
stated with the same directness which characterizes
the whole article. It is the life-story of a "successful"
woman, a drama of real life in which the last act is
a tragedy.

FLUE CURING IMPROVES TOBACCO LIKE
ROASTING IMPROVES GREEN COFFEE
Flue Curing Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste
Found In Schnapps that Satisfies Tobacco Hunger
;, There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
; cured, air cured and flue cured. The
' old and cheap way is called air cured ;
' the later discovery and improved way
is called flue cured. In flue-curing
I the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
flues in houses especially built to re
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
! Only choice selections of this ripe,
I juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the
j famous Piedmont country, where the
i best tobacco grows, are used in i
Schnapps and other Reynolds' brands
of high grade, flue cured tobaccos.
Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps ; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to
bacco is flue cured, 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 tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,
satisfying effect on chewers. If the
kind of tobacco you are chewing don't
satisfy, more than the mere habit of
expectorating, stop fooling yourself
and chew Schnapps tobacco. y
Schnapps is like the tobacco chew-
ers formerly bought costing from 75c. y
to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold .
at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly j
10 and 15 cent plugs.

Alfred Williams & Co
Mystery Solved When Montenegrin
Was Caught Stealing a Bracelet
Under the high sounding name ol
Price Tschlllndro of Montenegro, an
impressive and elegant person has
made a distinct Impression in the
outskirts of Parisian society. Well
dressed, handsome and agreeable, he
was successful with the women and
especially with wealthy English and
American women, whose acquain
tance he specially cultivated.
One of the Prnce's delicate atten
tions was the frequent presentation
of beautiful bouquets to women
upon whom he called or whom he
met in social gatherings, and after
a while it came to be noticed that
usually after the presentation of oie
of these bouquets the recipient was
seized with a fainting fit or a sin
ing spell. Naturally the Prince was
the first to offer his services and as
sist the stricken lady to a private
room.
It also happened that after such
seizures the victim was apt to find
herself short on jewelry. One lost a
bracelet, another a necklace, another
a brooch. Search of the locality of
the fainting spell never resulted in
the recovery of the lost article, but
no suspicion seems ever to have at
tached to the Montenegrin noble.
At last one evening' about two
weeks ago Prince Tschlllndro was a
guest at a musicale given in the as
sembly room of a Parisian apartment
hotel. A lady to whom he had been
paying marked attention was one of
the performers.
At the conclusion of her piano
solo the Prince stepped forward to
offer congratulations on her skill and
as he did so he presented a beauti
ful boquet of Alphine violets. Tbe
usual result followed. The lady
smelled the flowers and immediately
showed sign1? of collapse.
She stood up tottering to get out
of the crowded room, whereupon tbe
Prince sprang to her side and sup
ported her as she withdrew. Unfor
tunately tbe hostess followed and
caught the Prince outside the door
in the very act of disengaging the
lady's diamond bracelet from her
arm. He was -rrested on the spot
and the effects of his bouquets were
explained by the discovery that they
were all impregnated with a power
ful narocotic.
Police investigations, the Gattlois
reports, revelled that the Prince was
a gypsy of international notoriety
named Bunskies.
The Girl of Nineteen-Seven.
A typical girl of 1907 stood inside
of a drawing-room the other day.
Her hair was parted and allowed to
ripple over her temples. Around her
head were bound two great flat
Dutch braids so heavy that they
made a great halo around her brow.
A great, beautiful bow of ribbon
crowned her head. The effect was
too simple and too sweet for any
thing. The girl of 1907 will be very tall.
.She may have to resort to Cuban
heels and to stretching exercises,
and she may want to pile braids on
top of her head and to wave her
hair high. She will be tall and she
will be slender.
Living skeletons were the fash
ion last summer in London. They
looked healthy and they acted as
If happy, and while they were lean,
yet they were not angular. To at
tain this means art was combined
with science.
The best professional models are
now taking a double set of lessons
in massage. There are two kinds
of massage. One kind develops and
the other kind reduces. Women
who are wide awake are practising
both kinds.
It cpsts a professional model
something to live and keep her fig
ure these days. She must have two
sets of massage operators. She must
have one masseuse who understands
the art of pounding away the flesh
and another one who understands
the art of putting it on.
The girl of 1907 is going to be
very simple. Or she Is going to
look as though she were very slm-
nle.
She must be absolutely perfect in
i ho art nf sweet simplicity. It is not
a country-girl simplicity, but an ar
tistic simplicity. From the Mllwau
kee News.
MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
Monterey Camp Seeks Names of Old
Soldiers and Widows.
To the Editor of the Raleigh Times:
"Monterey Camp" North Carolina
Daraos of 1846 are endeavoring to find
the names and addreflkes of all vet
erans of the Mexican War living in tbe
state, especially those drawing a pen
sion of only $12.00 per month; and the
addresses and names of all widows
of Mexican War veterans drawing a
pension of only $8.00 per month.
During the last session of congress
the Dames Of 'Monterey Camp" as
sisted over one hundred veterans of
the war with Mexico to procure a
pension of $20.00 per month (We ask
ed for $30.00), and over 25 widows of
Mexican war veterans to a pension of
$12.00 per month, in the district given
them, the two Carolinas and the two
Virginias.
We have yet to hear of a Single pe
tition for either veteran or widow pre
pared by these dames and presented
by the congressman in whose district
the petitioner lived, who failed to get
this maximum increase allowed by
congress; $20.00 for veterans of the war
with Mexico and $12.00 for widows of
veterans of war with Mexico.
With only a few exceptions the con
gressmen not only presented these
bills to the house and bad them sent
to the senate, but were so interested
that they tried to find all such veter
ans and widows in their districts and
also procured for those they found the
increased pension.
When the bills readied the Senate
Committee they were safe with Over
man, Scott, Gallinger. Burnham and
Smoot, with MeCumber as chairman of
i lie committee. All true friends of the
soldiers who. wearing the Uniform of
the U. S. Army, fought for "Old Glory"
1S46-1S48.
Senator Gallinger's bill asking for an
Increased pension of $3.wi tier month
for the veterans of the Mexican War.
was amended to $20.00 and reported
favorably by the senate committee
last spring, hut it was not allowed on
the floor of the house. We hope that
during the summer "Uncle Joe" has
had a new coat of tar put on bis heels
and will, like all our Tarheels; work
for the honor and glory of the Old
North State, and for these senior
soldiers of our arm:-, no matter where
they are now living nor how long it
has been since they left their native
state.
The pension laws are to be revised
during the coming session, and we
have done what we could to remind
all, that those men who fought the
war with Mexico were United States
soldiers, wearing the United States
Army uniform, fighting under the
Stars and Stripes for bis country.
In all laws referring to men who
have fought In the United States Array
these veterans should have a right to
bo included, and not discriminates
against, as they have been for years.
So far there has been no general
provision made for increasing the pen
sion of widows of Mexican war vet
erans, each pension has to be increased
pi-lvate bill.
It is against the law for any one
belonging to the pension department
to furnish names or addresses, or any
other Information desired for the pur
pose of increasing a pension, conse
quently we have to srocure these
names and addresses in any way we
can. and to be of any service they
must be sent ,at once, to the secre
tary of the X. C. Denies of 1846, Mrs.
V. C. Royster, Raleigh, N. C, as it is
"short session" and what is to be
done, must be done before congress
convenes, December 1, 1906.
The latest plan has been to write to
the clerks of tbe superior court of
tbe ninety counties in the state, and
in this way now names and addresses
are being received every day. but at
tbe National Reunion of "Dames of
1816" at Jamestown, September 23-24th.
("Monterey Days".) we wish tbe re
port of Monterery camp to excell the
reports of all other camas belonging
to tbe national organization of "Dames
of 1946." and the thing we are striv
ing strenuously for just now is, that
in this report we can say, there is not
a veteran of the war with Mexico living
in North Carolina (having no other
income,) who does not draw a pension
of $20.00 per month, and there is not
a widow of a veteran of the war with
Mexico, in need, who is not drawing a
pension of $12.00 per month.
If you. the render of this, knovy of
the addresses of either veterans or
widows of veterans, please send them
at once to our camp's secretary.

"One thing you will have to learn,"
the stationer explained to his new as
sistant, "is never ;o offer blue letters
have a superstitious horror of paper
of that tint. One girl confided to me
the other day that three broken en
gagements in which she bad figured
could be traced directly to blue paper.
There seemed grave danger of a fourth
prematrimonial rupture, but fortu
nately she discovered ill the nick of
time what her hoodoos was. It was
blue paper. She destroyed the supply
she had on hand, and from that time
on to her wedding day the course of
her true love ran smooth. Men who
,. fniiitri It most convenient to pro
pose by means of letters invariably
declare that when writing on ome
paper they were rejected. With all
those facts to uphold their supersti
tion you will have to be mighty care-f-"
n your handl.ng of lovers."

Danger From the Plague.
There's grave danger from the plague
of Couehs and Colds that are so preva
lent, unless you take Dr. King's New
Discovery tor Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. Mrs. Geo. Walls, of Forest
City, Me., writes; "It's a Godsend to
people living in climates where coughs
and colds prevail. I find It quickly ends
them. It prevents Pneumonia, cures
LaGrippe, gives wonderful relief in
Asthma and Hav Fever, and makes
weak lungs strong enough to ward off

The passing of summer nowhere
shows more picturesquely than in the

East Side. All summer long they roam
up and down the streets with great
urns of shining brass on their backs
the spouts projecting over their shoul
ders and their interminable singsong
"Buv some av de feine kvass. A pen

weine." And some bear small wooden
trays of the queer sticky candies of
the Orient. But with the first nipping1
days the kvass urns are discarded, and
with them go most of the candies of
the Orient. In the places of both come
great trays of the nuts of the out
of the way corners of Europe. Here
are salted pecans and hazel nuts, so
appetizing and crisp in the colder
weather. Here are the greenish yel
low pistache nuts, all boiled in but
ter. And here are the queer Bulgar
ian negar nuts, roasted in pans, with
liberal bastings of a mixture of but
ter and maple sprup.
