And the Saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby, and in course of time itcame to pass that others snuffed it, and they were suddenly taken with fits, and they did sneeze with a great and mighty sneeze, insomuch that their eyes were filled with tears, and they did look exceedingly silly. And oth- ers cunningly wrought the leaves in- to rolls and did set fire to one end thereof, and did suck vehemently at the other end thereof and did look very grave and calf-like, and the smoke of their torment ascended up like a fog; and the cultivation thereof became a great and mighty business in the earth, and the merchants waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And when the nation became great, the business was mighty in the land, and the use of it became a practice amongst the children even unto the 43rd generation, And it came to pass that the professed saints of the most high defiled themselves there- with—even the poor who could not buy shoes, bread nor books for their little ones, spent their money for it. And the Lord was greatly displeased threwithand said: “Be yeclean that bear the veseels of the Lord;” “Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthi- ness of the flesh; “Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will re- ceive you.” But with one accord these saints exclaimed: “We cannot cease from chewing, snufting and puffing.” And after many days were fulfilled. it came to pass that the lit- tle laddies were almost penniless, so near 80 that they could not pay the price of cigars, and according to the smallness of their pocketbooks they purchased a little poisonous mixture of tobacco and other things known tothe manufacturers thereof. And itcame to pass that they called these little cigars cigarettes which indicate how little it is to make use thereof. And behold they became a great pest in the land even to those who used them. And as the laddies grew to be young men, they saw themselves as unmanly, and they said with one voiee: “We will quit this thing— next summer or next winter or at sometime always in the future, per- haps at death. And it came to pass that Death wrote his warnings of foreboding evil upon the user thereof by weakening his mind, and by poisoning his sys- tem which is manifest from his pale look and lessened energy, and even by his low standard of morals which awaits judgment. The moral of this story, young men, is found in the following par- ody: “Quit! quit to day! to-morrow nev- er yet On any human being rose or set.” The young man’s true friend. E. H. Wituiamson. Once there was a beautiful maiden, | one of the fairest of thefair. Shehad | lovely brown eyes and black wavy tresses that made her a celestial beauty. She was modest, jovial and given to hospitality; shifty and had great skillas a housewife. She was kind, meek and charitable; hopeful, patient and forgiving; in other words she was a Christian, humble and obedient to God. Her name was Holy. She lived in the happy and quietcity of Peace. Holy keptakind of general store in this choice city, but nothing was sold which did not benefit mankind. Various were the articles and varied the prices, but mercy was always free. There lived a man in an adjoining town very near to the city of Peace who had long shabby hair and un- shaven beard, well worn and tattered garmente—a second Rip Van Winkle, if you please, except that he still liv- ed under the influence of human be ing his more noble companion— “Fido.” The name of this man was Unrighteous, and the city in which he lived was fittingly called Wicked for the mind and heart of the people there was evil continually, Liquor houses, gambling dens and other places of evil resort were the chief business establishments in this city. And there was no joy there for the light of thesun of righteousness could not even penetrate its spiritual dark- ness, and allmen became an abomi nation in the sight of each other. But by and by Unrighteous made a business trip to the city of Peace. While there he stepped into Holy’s beautifulstore. Being moreabashed atthe glory of his surroundings than a Christian would be in appearing before the great white throne, he stopped, he stood, he gazed. Every- thing seemed to present a sweetness to life he had never known before. Just then Holy caine forward and spoke kindly to him, removing his fear, Her cuter business was not to sell but to give. She spoke tender and gracious words to him; told him of the Savior and His love in laying down his life those who have no joy and happiness, and of the love of God in giving his only begotten Son for them, while they were at enmity against Him that he might make them his friends. The sweet chords of love moved his soul; he saw Jrsus as He was, is and ever shall be; he gladly accepted him, obeyed hiscom- mandments, and received the halo o' blessings, which Christ bestows on all his children, Unrighteous now changed hisname to Righteous. He moved from Wicked to the city of Peace. His dress was also changed and hia face PREPARING TO LAUNCH BOOM. Chicago Chronicle's Washington Corre- spondent Views Conditions at the Missouri Capital. Chicago, July 23.—The Chronicle to-morrow will print the following from T. E. Sullivan, Washington staff correspondent, who is now at Jefferson City, Mo : “The Democratic leaders of Missou- ri shortly will announce their pur- pose to launch a Presidential boom for Senator Francis Cockrell, They have agreed substantially upon the preliminaries, which are inseparable from so important a step, and are only waiting for the fulfillment of certain minor plans before taking the American people into their con- fidence. “It is their purpose to have the veteran legislator accepted not alone as Missouri's son, but as the candi- date of the entire Southwest and West, with whose growth and devel opment he has been intimately iden tified during his forty years of public from so many States ETAOLN|,- throat) service. They have received assurances from 80 many States that Missouri's choice is eminently satis factory to Democrats of every shade of conviction that they are hopeful the boom will take on national pro- portions before the close of the pres- ent year.

He Would Have Tax on Alcohol Great- | ly Reduced in Orders to Give Manu-} facturers New Export Outlets---His Draw Back Law. New York, July 24 —Congressman Lovering, of Massachusetts, before the National Retail Furniture Deal- ers, meeting in their first annua! con- vention, to night urged congression- al legislation reducing the tax on alcohol in aid of the manufacturers. New export outlet was necessary, he said, and this would be a step in the right direction. He also favored the adoption of his draw-back law intro- duced in the last congress. He con- tinued: “I have been a protectionist all my life, but I believe the people wanting protection would be the best con- served. by meeting the question promptly and revising some of the glaring inequalities that are to-day shutting us out from the markets of the world. “If our legislators are wise they will not antagonize the great grow- ing sentiment in favor of tariff revis- ion, whether it comes under what is known as the “Iowa idea” or that older and country-wide demand that has been forcing itself upon the at- tention of the party leaders for the past few years, “Nothing less than a liberal draw- back law enacted at the next session of congress will save the protective tariff from # fearful onslaught, if not utter demolition, The only way to hold the friends of protection togeth- er is by recognition of the material interests of our great and expanding industries. They need and must have every possible outlet in the markets of the world for their prod- ucts.” ‘The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been iu use for over 30 years, has borne ihe signature of eee &2l has beon made under his per- CASE sonal supervision since its infancy. aiieen “% Allow no one to deceive you in this.
