CIGARETTE CASE TOO COSTLY
Man-About-Town Found That Frlendt
Were Too Apt to "Mooch"
Smokes From the Box,
"What's happened to your cigarette
case?" asked the business man of his
friend as the latter offered hliu u
cigarette from an ordinary package,
''I don't carry my case any more be
cause I couldn't stand the expense,"
the. man teplled.
"Expense!" exclulmed the business
man. "What expense Is there con
greeted with carrying u cigarette
casts?"
.Well," his friend replied, "If you
have been :i close observer of the psy
chology of offering the weed to u mini,
you know that n cigarette In n case
looks much more tempting than It does
In an urdlnnry package. Nino times
ont of ten a man will take a cigarette
when It Is offered to him from a case.
Of- course, out of courtesy I always
offer one to my friends, so currying
n. case became un expensive proposi
tion1'. I haven't obtained the statis
tics on the ordinary package, but I
know that the average of acceptances
Is far lower."
CHANCE TO BUY THE WORLD
English Village Hai It for Sale, Al.

Cement.
, Jules Verne or H, 0. Wells, letting
his fancy free, could have made much
of the chance to buy the world. It
dye not come to every man, but It
conies to ail who happen to be at
SWanage, Dorset, England, In the
month of July. For that curiosity
known us the Great Globe Is then
to be put up ut Auction, It Is a great
mass of Portland stone, measuriug 10
fft In diameter, und weighing 40 tons.
It is so posted us to represent the
position of the earth in space, und
on Its surface are shown In detail all
the countries of the world. George
Mowlem Hurt, the .Swunage boy who
mailt! a fortune In London as a con
tractor, and then came back to "de

flrudgrlnd for facts. Not content with
erecting the Grent Globe, he sur
rounded It with stone slabs crammed
with geographical statistics. And yet

Smuggler's Ingenious Trick.
Arthur Mason, author of "The I'ly
lug Bo'sun," tells, apropos of the
current news of liquor smuggling, a
stVy ot u very prosperous smuggler
with whom he was acquainted on the
I'Holflc coast a number of years ago.
This man's wares were Chinese. He
brought them In, there wus no doubt
of that. Hut for long his professional
stjeret remained undiscovered. Rev
enue olllcers boarding him could never
JlDtl anyone but his crew. Ills trick
was to have some curious collars made
and ut the approach of revenue men
hfc, dropped his Chinese overboard In
(h'ese, securely attached by a line.
V)ien all was clear he fished them up
uL'aln, apparently none the worse In

fully, "that Its manners will Improve."

That's us far us It can reach,"
broke In Johnny In a wounded tone.
