Any- thing blacker than Matilda would be hard to asgine. She was bom in slavery and though sever owned by the Browns, her one object aalife is to avenge her serfdom by tyrannizing “Tall the race agitators in the North could te transported to this New Orleans kitchen shen Matilda is on the rampage, the South would be able to handle the negro problem without unwise interference, Matilda has copyrighted her impertinence and announces a regular intervals that she don’t allow no ont to sass her madam. In fact, when the force of her example led a new dining-room toy to criticize Mrs, Brown behind her back, Matilda flew in a rage and thundered: “You js a disgrace to niggerism and if you ever sys another word about my madam, I'll break a skillet over yo’ no ‘count, wuthless head.” The following dialogue will show how the Browns have learned to their sorrow that Matilda is always capable of snatching vic- tory from defeat by a judicious use of the st word: “Miss Mary, won’t you please, ma’am, gim- me that ole wrapper?” “No, Matilda, I need it.” “I don't suppose you'd gimme that wrapper to save my life.” (Discreet silence from Mrs. Brown.) “Law, chile, I'd do most anything to save jo’ life, ‘cause I don’t think you is. prepared to meet yo’ Gawd.”"—New Orleans Times- } Democrat.

THE USE 18 SO DARK, Cherry Clodhopper : WELL, I'D RATHER NOT, MUM, | PROMISED MY YOUNG WOMAN I'D CHUCK THAT ALL P—From Judy, A Boston man who visited me recently writes as follows :— “Ordinary stale cigaret smoke is very ‘offensive to me, and when I remember that neither your office nor , your home had a trace of this, although you smoke freely in both places, I am inclined to think this point, of itself, is sufficient to make your goods the first choice of all partic- ular people.” Americans are rapidly finding out what Euro- peans have known for a long time—that a Russian Cigaret of high quality is the only one in the world worth the attention of a connoisseur. There is no prejudice against cigarets in any European country. There is no reason for prej- udice there, because the ci; are right, They are made and sold as rare wines are, by men with traditions of quality to live up to— men with generations of experience back of them. I believe Americans to be naturally the most discriminating people in the world, once they are given_a chance to discriminate. The Americans have been “ exploited” on cigarets, just as they have on other things. The cigaret business in America never has been in the hands of connoisseurs, but in the hands of financiers. You can smoke MAKAROFF RUSSIAN CIGA- RETS from morning until night without a trace of that “dopey” or nervous fecling induced by other cigarets. They will leave in your office or apartments no trace of the odor usually associated with cigarets. They are made of rez , pure, clean and sweet, and nothing ey are mild and smooth, but rich in natural flavor, and as full of “body as the most critical connoisseur could wish. They contain a less percentage of nicotine than any others and the mouthpiece takes up most of that. The tobacco never comes in contact with the mouth, therefore does not become wet and bitter, to spoil the flavor and stain the fingers. They are rolled by hand, and encased in the thinnest paper in the world. No paste is used. You can afford to go into this matter thoroughly. You cannot afford not to, if you want to enjoy cigarets at their best, without injury to your health or offense to your own sense of refinement or that of your friends, I sell only direct to consumers and first-class clubs, and at wholesale prices. Your favorite club has them or will get them for you, if you prefer to buy that way. I will gladly send you full information about these cigarets, but the final and only test, if you are in eamest, is a trial of the goods. I take all the risk of this trial, so there is no reason why you should delay it. A New Kind of Offer Send me your order fora trial bundred of the size and quality you prefer. Try the cigarets thoroughly, smoke the full hundred if you like. | Then, if you do not like them, tell me and I will return your money. Ido not ask the return of | the cigarets. I prefer to take my chances of your giving them to some one who will like them and who will order more.
