YOU MARK MY WORDS ANY MAN TAKING A ER CHEW OF W-B CUT TOBACCO THAN THAT, IS A TOBACCO GLUTTON AND WE DON'T WANT-GLUTTONS ON THE OU notice a fine regard for appearance among the Yoficers from Roundsmen to Captain—tha’s one reason they are so keen for W-B CUT Chewinf. The pass-word among these gentlemanly fellows is “If you won’t take a little chew don’t take any.” No need to disfigure the face, when anibble of rich tobacco gives more satisfaction than a wad of ordinary stuff—also less grinding and spitting.

A good many people who would like to write fiction, but have shrunk from the labor of finding equivalents for “said,” will welcome a list of sub- stitutes for the necessary little word published in the Boston Writer. There are no less than 386 fairly satisfactory variations, from “acceded” to “yowled.” The prisoner at the bar no longer need say that he is innocent. He can babble it or bawl it or blurt it or breathe it, to use but one letter of the alphabet. The vindictive district at- torney can bark his questions, the law- yer for the defense can boom his ob- jections, the spectators may either bris- tle their indignant protest or blubber their sympathy. But the merit of sucha list is not simply that it facilitates the management of dialogue. A thorough study of the 335 substitutes for “said” will easily suggest the plot and the characterization that must precede dia- logue. The letter C in itself is a com- pendium of plot and a gallery of por- traits. Given somebody who cachi- nates, another who chuckles, another who coos, another who croons, an- other who challenges, another who con- fesses and minor characters who cry, croak, commune and cut in, and it is plain that we have a scenario almost ready made.—New York Post. The African Marriage System. You cannot fancy how deeply com- plicated the African marriage system {s or how many ramifications there may be to a “woman’s palaver.” One day Mr. Heminger was sitting in a hut talking with two members of his congregation, wives of one husband. He was talking to therg about their sins, which were of an obvious charac- ter. The younger woman had been ac- cused of stealing food. Then he turned to the elder, Wawa, she of the ten chitdren, five of them dead and five of them cruel. “Wawa,” he said, “why cannot you live at peace with this wife of your husband? Why are you always quar- reling?’ (They are notorious scrap- pers.) “Well,” sald Wawa, “she was bought with one of my children, and 1 cannot forget it.”"—Jean Kenyon Mac- kenzie in Atlantic. Hot Cross Bun In History. 'The hot cross bun has both antiquity and tradition in its favor. Its history traces back not only to the time of Cecrops and Astarte, but also to the Jewish passover cakes and the cross marked wafer or eucharistic bread ndopted by the early Christians and mentioned in St. Chrysostom’s liturgy. The substitution of the cross mark for the horn mark on the surface of the bun by the Greeks is supposed to have been done for the purpose of dividing more easily the bun into four equal parts, Similar cross marked buns were found in the ruins of Herculaneum.

Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in Eng~| land during the early part of the eight- ‘Subscribe for The Pioneer eenth century, tells of seeing a carved cherry stone which would be a wonder even in this age of fine tools and fine workmanship. The stone was one from a common cherry, and upon it were carved the heads of 124 popes, kings, queens, emperors, saints, etc. Small as they must necessarily have been, it is announced on the authority of Professor Oliver that with a good glass the heads of the popes and kings could readily be distinguished from those of the queens and saints by their miters and crowns. The gentleman who brought this little wonder to Eng- land purchased it in Prussia, allowing the original owner £5,000 for his treas- ure. Think of it—$25,000 for a cherry seed! will pay for your COME TO THE AND PICK OUT WHAT YOU NEEKD. WE WILL HELP YOU ALL WE CAN. T The Northern National Bank New Set of Books PIONEER OFFICE .
