A Famous Old _Ciéar at a Nickel Now. Here’s News

There’s a cigar on sale in this town today that will convince the most hard-boiled skeptic who ever said “all nickel cigars are alike.” This cigar sold at over a nickel for years. It was so downright good that the sales went ug and up. We ‘were able to bring the price-down to a nickel. Then we made the cigar even better. Now it’s selling in the millions.

Any smoker who gives that cigar. a. work-out will revise his ideas about five-centers. He’ll get flavor, aroma, ripe tobacco, mild fragrance —everything that makes 'a good cigar good. He’ll find that he can smoke it all d%y and every »dal% and never get tired of it. He’ll forget how little the cigar costs. The name is Havama Ribbon, men, It’s been a good name for thirty years. No matter what you think of five-cent cigars, park &ou’r. Erejudieeg_;gnd invest a single nickel in Havana Ribbon. You owe that much to yourself as a smoker.

AND THE BJSS THOUGHT HARD

Boy Lived Up to His Treatment, Con- . sequently the Profits Were Not Large.

- Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale, one of the leaders in thé new School for Suffrage Workers, said in New York the other day: “A woman has been complaining that her husband treats her like a child. She isn’t capable of voting, he says, but she’s capable of running his big town houee for him, with its 18 servants, both elegantly and economically. 1 told her she ought to act like the errand boy. . “An errand boy delivered packages in a huge hand cart. Between the shafts, bending to his load, he tramped Y;e streets among the vans and drays om early morning till long after closing time. “At the end of two years of this, he asked for a raise. But his employer refused to raise him. So, looking about a bit he finally secured a better job. : “His last day with the old firm, he was sent out with a load of valuable china. He returned in an hour or so, and the china, instead of having been delivered, lay in the bottom of the cart, smashed into thousands of pieces. , “What does this mean?’ the pro. prietor roared. “The boy, as he stepped out of the shafts, answered calmly: | “It means, boss, that you’ve worked me like a horse and treated me like a horse for two years now. So this morning I shied at a piece of paper, ran away and had a smash-up.” “So saying, the boy turned and set off blithely whistling for his new and better job.”

FROCK COAT OF THE PAST Seems to Have Been Relegated to Oblivion After its Long Period of Popularity. - The long coat with the tails enjoyed 2 long period of popularity. It marked for years the man who was doing the correct thing from the point of view of dress, whether he were at a wedding or a funeral, an afternoon reception or a college commencement. The change in men’s fashions that drove the .frock coat out of its . exclusive place was particularly discouraging to owners of this enduring garment. Frock coats have been known to pass from one g,gneration' to another. There has now been erected by far. seeing tailors such a compromise that the frock is not after all destined to disappear from the wardrobe of the well dressed man. It will, however, be regarded only as the appropriate coat of well dressed men of a certain class, The stock broker or the real estate magnate, if they would follow fashion, must be seen in the coat described abroad as the morning coat and here as the cutaway. It is to a much morg serious class of men the frock coat is dedicated. Statesmen, bankers, lawyers and ministers, in the words of the diseriminating sartorial journal which has sug. gested this new and dignified use of the frock coat, are the men who will in the future find it the last word in style. Thus is the frock not only preserved to manhood but it is destined to a more distinguished and glorified fate. !

Deep Eater. Senator Frawley said in Albany of & corruptionist: - “He went in too deep. He was like the boy. - - “Motoring‘one summer day in the country, I saw.a boy who was going through a strange performance. He ‘hopped up and down on his left foot, while he held to his right ear a large stone on which he tapped—tap, tap, tap—with a smaller one. , “‘My boy,’ I said, ‘what on earth is the matter? , -~ “Water in my ear,’ the boy replied, a 8 he continued his hopping and tapping. “My own boyhood came back to me, ‘I remembered doing just such things myself, “‘Aba!’ I said. ‘I remember now. I, too, my boy, have hopped and tap‘ped like that when I've been swim‘ming and got water in my ear.’ + “‘q ain’t been swimmin’,’ said the . “‘But how on earth, then— I begD, - “‘Been eatin’ watermelon,’ he inters rupted calmly.”

Danish Court Likes Tango.

The court marshal of King Christan of Denmark telegraphed to the ‘Thalia theafer the other day for tango music, as the dance was to be intro‘duced immediately at the Copenhagen court. . A reply was sent that no tango music has been published yet, and that ‘the only way it could be obtained was to pay a high price for a manuscript .CODY. ; . Promptly came back the order: . “Money no object; state price. Mail immediately.” : . The manager of the Thalia theater sent manuseript music and charged $4OO for it.

Could See Some Good.

“A clergyman,” says DeWolf RBop‘per, “visited a tippler in his flock and cautioned him against drinking too much. The man answered that the doctor had prescribed liquor for kim. ‘Well,” inquired the minister, 'has it done you any good? ‘I fancy it has’ answered the bibber, ‘for when I got that keg a week ago I could hardly lift it, and now I can carry it all about the room.”” ; v
