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. Even the stamp of
a widely known New .York hotel is not
a sufficient guaranty that tho cigars
which come out of tho GO cent box be
fore your very eyes aro .what they
seem to bo.
In this hotel they aro not tho Ha

years ago, little Fellcldad, a child of
a member of ono of tho almost extinct

For six years she kept tho little girl
In her hut near the city until two
years ago, when tho good old woman

Moore, tho lawyers who usually prose
cuto the cases of the Trademark Pro
tective company.
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.

Seattle, Wash. Three slumbering
volcanoes In tho Aleutian mountain
range of Aluska suddenly have como

quantities of smoke and hot ashes.
The awakened peaks are Ilimna and

and Katmul, which overlooks Spellkof

t It Is likely that Bogoslof, Shaldln
and Pavloff, which are activo volca

north say that the volcanoes are emit

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.

CLASSIC MUSIC FOR POOR
New Yorkers Perform for 600 of the
Big City's Flotsam Absence of
Bolsterousness Is Noted.
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

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

but whut feel from time to tlmo that

to correct this habit and that is to ask
