SMOKED FOR OVER
Has been popular with smokers everywhere for over twenty-five years.
; It is Just as Good Now as Ever.
Ks Flavor, Fragrance and Purity have contributed largely to the
growing popularity which pipe smoking enjoys. Pipe smoking is
growing in favor because finer, sweeter and better tobacco can be had
in this form and at much less cost than in cigars.

rhiuittuen trading peat-pfully to Candia
for wine, and thrn Uirowing off their
i difguinea, wonl J prey upon all around
them. No merry wan nhown in thctw
fearful contests. Between the sta rob
lors and the merchants there was a
lairing and deadly hostility. It was to
the pirate clatw that the Columbi be
longed, ami of all the corwiirs of the
day they were the nut renowned. The
elder Colnmbns had apparently lain iu
watt in vain for the rich fleet that sailed
yearly to the north. But bo bad a son,
known as Columbns Junior, who fol
lowed the same profession and whose
true name was Nicolo Qriego, or Nich
olas the Greek. He at last sucooedod lu
the project which his father had so long
ewayed In vain. The prixe wan a tenipV

fortnne to the cantors could they have
retained the spoil.
In 1485 the galleys were equipped with
nnnsnal care. We have the decree of
the senate under which they set sail,
The Doge Giovanni Monoonigo appoint
the noble Bartolomeo Minio captaiu
with a salary of (WO ducats, , Four gieat
galleys are provided, and to each cap.
tain a bounty of 3,500 golden ducats is
Tmmiinod upon their safe return to Ven
ice. This money was to be paid out of
the tax on the Jews, and calls up anew
Shakespeare's unreal picture; it is plain
that tho merchants of Venice wore the
true Shylocks of the time. A medical
man was atwigned to tho fleet; his salary
was only nine ducats a month.
Minute rules are given for tho con
duct of the expedition. The freight is
to bo paid to the state. No duckloads
of tin or pewter ware are allowed, no
enrrants nor molasses aro to be stored
in the hold. Two galleys wore to go to
London or tho English porta, tho rout to
Sluys or Bruges. On their passage they
might touch ut Malaga and ot her port-
in Spain; on their return a ship was le
tached to trade with tho Mohammedans
along the Barbary shore. Tho Vene
tians wero too keen traders not to liud
profitalilo market even in tho lands of
tlio infidel.
Tho Columbi or tho Oriegos wero at
lust to seizo their prize. They watched
with seven ships powerful, no doubt,
and well equipped off the Spanish coast
to intercept tho floet of Bartoloinoo
Minio. Tho commanderif tho pirates
was Nicolo Oriego, tho son, wo nre told,
of tho elder Colnmbns. His father had
disappeared from sight. But with him
in tho pirato ships was another Colum
bus, the future discoverer and admiral
of tho Indies. In his "Lifo" Fernando
Columbus boasts of his father's share in
this fiinions engagement famous be
cause it led to the settlement of Colum
bus at Lh-lon, his marriage and his fa
turo exploits.
He was now a man of at least fifty,
hardened by thirty-six years of ceaseless
adventure. What position ho held in
the pirato fleet, whether as commander
or seaman, his son docs not tell. We
only know that he served under his
relative, Columbus or Griego, and that
he fought with desperate energy in tho
famous sea fight of Cape bt. V mcent.
Tho corsairs, or Columbi, approached
their prey in tho evening. They waited
all night on tin? still Atlantic, and in
the morning rushed upon tho Venetians.
It was seven, perhaps eight, ships against
four. Tho galleys wero heavy laden
and nninanngeablo compared to their
swift assailants. Tlio Columbi had evi-
uentiy resoivcu to mako suro or tueir
prey. They sailed under tho French
flag, and may have been fitted out in
Genoa. It was tho custom of the pirates,
it seems, to assume false colors. But
dreadful was tho contest and fierco the
fight that raged all day, as Columbus
had told his son, on the tranquil sea
tho scene, nearly four centuries later, of
the battle of St. Vincent and his narra
tive is confirmed by tlio Venetian ar
chives. Tho four great galleys under
Bartolomeo Minio defended themselves
with unfailing courage.
From tho first to tho twentieth hour
they beat off their savage assailants
Tho ships grappled with each other and
fought hand to hand. They ued, we
aro told, nrtificial lire, and the pirates
fastened their ships to the galleys by
hooks and iron chains. Then, no doubt,
they boarded and were at last success
ful. And then Fernando Colon relates
the romantic incident that led, he thinks,
to the discovery of a new world. The
ship in which his father fought was
lashed by chains and hooks to a great
Venetian galley. Tho enetians seem
to have set Columbus' ship on lire. The
flames consumed both vessels. The only
resource loft to tho survivors was to leap
into tlio sea.

A fow days ago Governor Buchanan
was called upon to exercise executive
clemency in a very peculiar case. The
person concerned was a man held in jail
at Jackson till ho should produco a

without showing any signs of liquidating

Haile Her Left Uan.le.l by a lllow.
Three years ago a young lady of Fall
River, Mass., was hit upon tho left side
of her head by a falling sign as she was
walking along a street in Boston. This
was followed by brain fovor. After
some weeks sho was as well in mind and
body as ever, but from a right handed
person sho had become so left handed
that she conld neither cut, sow nor write
with her right baud, but found it easy
to do all these things with her left,
Her right hand was just about as useful
as her left had been before sho was hurt
Wliat is strango is that, with so recent
a change iu the use of her hands, she
never makes an awkward motion and is
as graceful in tho uso of her left hand as
if sho had been born left handed. Bos

one day last week at tho Tulo ranch in

feasting on two shouts was too big to
get out through tho holo. Thus ho was
an easy prey to tho doctor, who gave
him a hypodermic injection of birdshot
in order to see liim perform. He per

A prophet in Athens, Ga., predicts
that tho crop yield this year throughout
this country will bo tho largest over

will no longer cxirt, and all animal

famine the land will be infested with all
sorts of vermin, and tho living will suf
