Do not lmagino becauso you chanco to have a fat pocket book and desire to establish a reputation for smoking tho best that when you treat your friend and yoursolf to 60 cent cigars you are demonstrating ex cellence in selecting cigars. It may follow, but not necessarily. In fact, you may be Illustrating your inability to tell ono quality of cigar from an other, a flve-cont one from tho ?C0 a hundred class.

At least, this is what you would have received until recently, i Tho Trademark Protective company of this city has taken some interest in tho swindling operations practiced in this form by the proprietor and by this time he may havo returned to the genuine article for his GO cent trade. On the ninth floor of 141 Broadway Is a room whoso contents comprise an indictment against any reputation which tho users of liquors in this coun try may have as connoisseurs. Ranged on shelves and scattered about the floor of the dark and dusty room is a collection of bottles, boxes, labels, lith ograph stoncB, branding plates all tho implements and product of tho Imi tator's art in reproducing famous im ported liquors. It Is a veritable rogues' gallery of "fako" fancy drink. There SAVES BABE FROM DEATH Match Had Been Applied to the Funeral Pyre When the Infant la Transferred. San Francisco. Saved from sacri fice on an altar of flro during a famine in tho northorn part of tho Island of Luzon, in the Philippines, ton years ago, little Fellcldad, a child of a member of ono of tho almost extinct aboriginal tribes, who was bought for 30 pesos by Mrs. Abreu, a Filipino woman, juBt as the Are was crackling under the pyre upon which tho then two-year-old little girl had been placed, was tho most popular passenger on the liner China in from tho Orient recently. Given possession of llttlo Felicidad, the aged Filipino woman, after days of wearily trudging through tho thickets and swamps, made her way to Manila For six years she kept tho little girl In her hut near the city until two years ago, when tho good old woman was stricken with fever and died.

Tho imitations of Imported nrtlcles cover many different classes of mer chandise, such as liquors, cigars, per fumes, olive oil, gowns and hats. Im ported articles lend themselves par ticularly well to imitation owing to tho fact that tariffs and tho puro food and drug act servo to keep out tho low priced goods and to raise the price to tho customer above that which would normally bo obtained if it were baaed on cost of production alone. Tho duty on cognac, for Instnnce, is about J6.50 a case. Parisian gowns "made In America," but not so labeled, lead the list in profitable imitations, it Is said. There are reported to bo a number of Fifth avenue "dressmaking establishments which will show their customers what they assert aro Worth gowns or dress es made by other celebrated French dressmakers. "You see, hero are tho name bands," they say, displaying tho tnpes with tho signature of Worth, or whosoever, wove in. They do not ex plain that they can get such bands woven on tho East side for ten cents apiece. There aro bundlos of these in "rogues' gallery." Millions of dollars' worth of these alleged French gowns aro said to find a market in Now York. According to those who look Into these counterfeited trademarks with prying eyes, only ono In every fifteen so called Parisian gowns was mado In the French capital. Hats are imitated in tho same manner. Sends Taft $1 Conscience Payment. Washington.

Peakes In tho Aleutian Range Are Spouting Great Quantities of Smoke and Ashes Convulsions Re sembling Quake Recorded. Seattle, Wash. Three slumbering volcanoes In tho Aleutian mountain range of Aluska suddenly have como to life and aro throwing out great quantities of smoke and hot ashes. The awakened peaks are Ilimna and Hcloubt, in tho Cook inlet country, and Katmul, which overlooks Spellkof strait. t It Is likely that Bogoslof, Shaldln and Pavloff, which are activo volca noes, and much farther west, aro uIbo spouting flames. Dispatches from the north say that the volcanoes are emit ting lava and rocks, but the discharge from the Alaska crators usually Is only ashes and smoke, and it Is hoped thai there will be no loss of llfo. Ap parently Kodiak and its neighboring Islands have been covered by ashes. Since tho change of climate In Alas ka, cattlo, sheep and hogs have been ahlo to feed out doors on Kodiak Island throughout the year. Tho vol canic ashes, if they fell on tho island, 18 Inches deep, as they did on tho decks of the steamship Dora, must havo destroyed tho grass, which, how ever, will grow again on the ashes.

New York. A group of prominent musicians who bellevo that the mu sic of tho classic masters has a tre mendous emotional Influence for good upon men of nil classes offered some time ago to test their theory through a scries of high class concerts in the Bowery mission. Tho first of theso concerts was given with about GOO men, typical of tho city's flotsam, as tho audience. Tho performers wero two soloists and a cello and tho com posers represented on tho program wero Rubinstein, Schumann, Mendels sohn and Tschalkowsky. According to tho officials of tho mission tho experi ment waB a success. Tho nudienco was mado up of flan nel shlrted, ragged, unwashed speci mens, r ho had Bought rollof from the droariness of their cheap lodging houses or tho heat of tho streets. They wero of every raco, of every creed or stago of unbelief. But all listened with unfeigned interest and apprecia tion to the music. Applause came sul lenly at first, then enthusiastically. Such "uplift" as there was made itself apparent in tho absence of tho bolsterousness that usually "attends tho breaking up of Bowery mission meetings. WOMAN 78 WALKS 17 MILES New Jersoy Woman WIN Repeat the Journey When Her Visit With Niece Is Over. Newton, N. J. Mrs. Mary George, seventy-eight years old, of Verona, walked 17 miles to visit her niece here, making only ono Btop, at Mc Afee station, on tho way.

Tl'XT How much then Is a man bettor than n Bhccp?-Matt. 12:12. Jesus had JuBt boon at tho foast at Jerusalem and was roturnlng to Galileo. Ho may hnvo been nearlng Capornnum when b o encountered tho Phorlsees, who complained of tho bad cxnmplo his disciples woroset ting by gathering ft few ripened heads of wheat which grow bosldo tho path. Jcsuh then cntored tha synngoguo, whero ho healed tho man with tho withered hand, to which thoy also objected, uaylng: "Is It lawful to heal on tho Sabbath day?" that thoy might nccuso him. Jesua replied with the simple Illustration of tho shoop in n pit nnd closed by nsklng, "How much then la a man better than a Bhccp?" Men nnd women nro such pool Judges of valueB that they aro easily deceived. Merchants deceive their customers with imitation silks, wools, nnd all manner of grocery products. The milkman can water tho milk nnd escape detection except by tho in spector's test. Frenzied flnanco tnkca millions of dollars from the pockets of tho poor. A flaming ad. in tho paper draws pcoplo to California, Cripple Creek, and tho Klondike for gold. Men lcavo their families without a living, breaking their promise to maintain wlfo nnd children, and lenvo to follow a wlll-o'-the-wlsp vision of gold. Some of them never return. All thcBO thinga show tho fickleness and shallowness of human Judgment when it comes to tho estimate of values. In any dally papor ono mny find quo tntionB of tho vnluo of cattlo, sheep, hogs, etc., but not of tho value of a man. On tho farm tho shepherd caro fully protects his sheep. A lamb born on n cold, rainy, spring day le wrapped In n blanket, placed by the kitchen flro; chickens hatched, are put in baskets, carofully guarded and fed, but, alas, tho spiritual caro of o man la neglected. If n man poisons your sheep, ho will ho nrrcstod, but o hundred snloonkeopcrs might give your boy a drink and no ono of them ho held responsible. They may rot your boy of his money and manhood until ho Ioscb his employment, nnd Is compelled to sleep In a ten-cent lodg ing house with nothing to cat but what ho begs, but they go unmolested nnd their business 1b protected by the law; while if your boy should commit a crime, when under tho influence ol the liquor ho got from ono of them, ho would bo punished, nnd tho saloon keopor would escape. Poisoning sheer sheep la not protected by law. "How much thon is a man better than o sheep?" Sweat shops cost tho Blow death ol thousands becauso of tho greed for gold. A dollar Is worth moro than a human life. Accidents frequently huppen because of tho puro careless ness on tho part of eomo ono who ut terly failed to consider tho valuo of o man. Qod's estimate of tho valuo of met can only be the correct one, because tho ono who makes a thing Is tho one who knowB its worth. The valuo of a sheep is estimated in tho market ol the world, eo God estimates tho value of a man by tho market of) ueavon JesuB ostlmnted that if you put a soul into ono scale' of a balance, and the whole world into tho other, tho bouI would outweigh tho world. For this reason the bouI cannot havo nn earth ly valuo, because it would take more thnn the whole world to buy Just one soul. Jesus looked at the Pharisees' view of things by which they estlmatod their opinions, nnd wondored nt their shalfow Judgment in tho estimation ol the valuo of a man;' so ho must do to day as ho secB pcoplo estimating the relative values of things thoy secure, and of tho unprofitable way in which they Bpcnd their time. People tako a fancy to some bric-n-brno and pay n foolish price for It, but In a year or two transfer It to tho uttlc nnd then to a second-hand store to make room for something else which hns caught their fancy. Do you remember how many things you discovered tho InBt time you moved which you had onco prized, but which you had come to call "rubbish," nnd how you romarked, "I wish I hnd the money back that I spent on these?" It was becauso you hud not placed the proper value on them when you mndo your purchase. When Christ came to Investigate tho condition of tho human lace and bco what ho could do to ameliorate tho suffering caused by Bin, ho did not wasto hlB time on trifles by trying to create n better environment nor patch up tho weaknesFcB of mon. Thero aro 'doubtless few Christians but whut feel from time to tlmo that the money thoy speOl hero and thoro to gratify passion or fancy is worao than wasted. Thero 1b only ono way to correct this habit and that is to ask God to give you tho true vision of values rui thoy havo been estimated in tho commercial rating of heaven, sHvasbk Wfejt iS When Bake Day Comes REMEMBER that home made home-balked food is now the vogue in the best, most carefully conducted homes, city and country.

Lambert Kaspers, Chicago attorney, told the, following story, at a recent Y. M. C. A. banquet: A Kansas farmer, a Dano, applied for naturalization papers. The Judgo asked him: "Are you satisfied with the general conditions of tho coun try ?" "Vas," drawled tho Dano. "Does tho government suit you?" queried the Judgo.
