Casparo Spontlni, the composer, regarded himself in the light of a demigod, and when inspirations crowded upon bim ho donned a wide, togalike gown of white silk with a border of gold and a fez of white silk embroidered in gold from which a heavy tassel hung down. With great dignity he sat down before his desk, and if a grain of dust was visible on the paper on which he penned his music he tang the bell lmpaticutly for his servant to remove the obstacle. Spontlni owned bo many medals and decorations that they could no longer be accommodated on bis breast. At a grand musical reunion at Halle an old musician remarked to a comrade.

"See how many decorations Spontlni has, while Mozart has not one." Spontlni, who overheard it, replied quickly, "Mozart, my dear friend, does not need them." Russian Use of Tobacco.

Take for Instance cigars The cigar trust, at first, cuts prices to the dealer and Induces him to lay In a supply of its goods. When the small manufacturer has been frozen out the prele to the dealer Is raised. While we do not advocate the use of tobacco, we think that every Kansas smoker who wants to burn up a nickel, shulod call for a cigar manufactured in his home town.or if there is none manufactured there, to call for a cigar made In Kansas.

By so doing he will keep the money In the state and encourage manufacturers at home. Go to C. V. Hannum for Keen Cutter tools and cuttelry.
