The editor received the box of “Bea
con Light’’cigars promised him by Ham
Kautzman a couple of months ago Hnd
they have been so good that all excopt
three have gone up in smoke. Art Mul
len, one of Ham’s particular friends,
smoked the first one out of the box and
be says they are O. K. The homely
phiz of the six-foot ex-editor adorns
the cover of the box and we are of the
opinion that Ham must have given the
artist a couple of thousand^ “Beacon
Lights” for the cut for he has really
made the old man fairlv good looking.
But the cigars are all right and if he

Emmet. _
The mating of December and May has
long been considered by the para
graphers as their special “meat” and
was always worth a few plunks to
snace writers. But when two Decem
bers meet its bard to tell how much
space the wise men of the east would de
vote to them. A case like the latter
was filed in the district court last week
when Mrs. Frank Leitner sued for ab
solute divorce from her 'husband Frank
Leitner, $300 alimony, $250 attorney's
fees at d $25 per month pending the ad
judication of the suit. Mrs. Leitner is
68 years old and the defendant in the
divorce suit is 71. They wpre married
sixteen years ago this month, she being
nis second wife and be her third husband.
It is probably a good thing for the wel
fare of this country that cases like the
•tbove are the exception, not the rule.

Explorer** Death I* a X>o*«.
The death of the Hon. David Carne
gie, in West Africa, from a wound of
a poisoned arrow, is a distinct loss to
science. Although only 30, this young
gentleman was already known as a dis
tinguished explorer. He conducted ex
plorations into Central Australia in
1898-99, and expected to be able to
make in the course of the next few
years some valuable discoveries in
West Africa, where he was assistant
resident commissioner.

Bear Got th« Apple*.
A Maine man has a tamo bear,
which he trained from a cub, until it
can be handled like a dog. One of its
traits Is an extreme fondness for ap
ples. One day this bear saw a wagon
approaching, and he smelled apples.
Waiting until the team was at the
top of a steep hill, the bear sprang out
in front of the horses. Of course thoy
Immediately ran away, and as the
wagon bumped and lurched, the road
for a quarter mile was strewn w th
apples. Then the shrewd bear had a
gorgeous feast, and was doubtless
very much surprised next day when he
got a sound thrashing. That was be
cause his master was presented with
a bill for ten bushels of apples, and
had to pay it.

A Ceitlflcat* Worth Million*.
From the whirl of gossip in the
financial center comes a little story of
the contents of the strong tin box be
longing to William L. Elkins. In
the bottom of it there is a single cer
tificate of stock of the Standard Oil
company, which has not been touched
for years. The certificate calls for 10,
000 shares, which at the present mar
ket figure represents a face value of
more than $8,000,000. Twenty-five years
ago the Belmont oil works, which be
longed to Mr. Elkins, were absorbed by
the Standard Oil company, and the 10,
000 share certificate formed a part of
the price paid.—Philadelphia Record.

The X Raja th« OmtMt Jodft of MM
Jaw«-lry.
It seems the X rays have been proved
to be the greatest Judge of false Jewels
and that conservative lapidaries will
soon trust to the X rays decision rather
than believe their own eyes. In fact,
the marvelous rays have detected very
old paste diamonds of the time of
Queen Elizabeth, which had at first de
ceived no less than Mr. Streeter, the, _ _
famous London Jeweler. A real dir*S
mond, ruby and pearl when photoVN^.
graphed under the rays leave no tm4Li*>~ ~
preesion whatever on the film. It isfNy
simply non-existent, says that author
lty. The false stone, on the contrary, \ -
comes out as a shadowy substance, ‘1
and paste leaves a well defined form /
of dark color. Two photographs of a \
lady’s hand thickly covered with heav- (
ily Jeweled rings showed in one by the
ordinary process all the stones; in the
photograph taken under the X rays
there were the shadowy outlines of
flesh and the deeper shading of finger
bones. But in each ring was an empty
space the exact shape of the Jewel,
which, being genuine, had been trans
parent to the X rays. It is wondered
if the burglar and jewel thief won’t
now think it worth while to put those
terribly inquisitive rays on the swag
before risking their liberty to carry it
oil? Since Mr. Streeter began to experi
ment with this detective, many owners
of splendid jewels have been to him to
test their genuineness. But, alas! there
will be no more romances of su>len Vj.,
caskets with their precious contents
changed to paste by unscrupulous hus
bands or wives? Oulda’s novel, “The
Americans,’’ marks the end of such
dishonest ructions in high life.—Bos
