No More Lotteries
in the Cigar Business
What is your cigar expenditure in a
•year ?
Taking chances one at a time dis
turbs your comfort and enjoyment more
than it seems to disturb your income or
confidence; but after a year of it you’ve
paid a very fat tax to a very flourishing
lottery—and drawn a long list of blanks.
It’s all unnecessary
We designed the Triangle A merit
mark to be a sign to you—a sign that
you could not only recognize but pro
nounce and ask for.
It enables you to make your selec
tions from cigars that you know are the
best your money can buy. '
The New CREMO
is one of the most convincing examples of the
improved quality produced through our new
processes of refining tobacco.
Every box is extra-wrapped in glassine
paper to make sure the cigars reach you
fresh, clean and in the best smoking
condition.

J. HAM LEWIS WENT DOWN
IN CHICAGO MAELSTROM
Georgian Cast His Lot
With Dunne in.the
West.
A native Georgian—J. Ham Lewis—
went down and out In the Chicago
mayoralty contest.
When Busse defeated Dunne the Re
publicans gained control of the Windy
City administration for the first time
In many years. The Harrisons—Car
ter, father and son—held the reins of
government for many years.
When Dunne was elected Chicago's
Democratic mayor he called to his cab
inet J. Hamilton Lewis, who had come
to Chicago from the state of Washing
ton. Colonel Lewis had represented a
Washington district In congress, but
that Democratic foothold In the far
northwest state went permanently
askew, and the colonel moved on to
pastures new.
Hope glowed large In him, for hon
ors came quickly. He was appointed
corporation counsel shortly after be
coming a resident of Chicago. From
that place he expected to step Into the
halls of congress again, representing
one of the city districts.
But the overwhelming avalanche of
Republican votes swept Colonel Lewis
from his moorings. Will it mean the
romplete annulment of his political
hopes there? Of course, the Republi
cans will fight harder than ever to hold
the complete upper hand In matters
political In Chicago.
But the Hon. J. Hamilton Is mighty
shifty on his feet, and may land In good
shape again. Augusta Is his old home,
and Georgians will wish for him re
habilitation of his political fortunes.
It would be a sad day for the country
to have the permanent effacement of
the pink whiskers and sartorial crea
tions of Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis.

“Wild Nell" It Untamed.
Eureka! Eureka! And then ha! ha!
Blaney—dear old Charles E.—has
found It at last.
A sizzling "mellerdrammer"
nothing but heroes and sheroes. Not
a single dad blasted, whlte-walstcoated,
spats-anklad, greasy-voiced "base vio
lin."
Not a single bad man steals the
chee-lld. The Innocent darling of 23
summers Is not lured Into the cold by a
horrible monster In a mlsflttlng dress
suit. The papers In the case are not
stolen In the dead of night, with nobody
looking but the audience and the stage
manager, possibly.
Nlxey and nit for this, says dear old
Charles E. All Is flowers and violet
perfume and chocolate Ice cream soda
In this latest—not Including today—
product of his fertile and prollflc think
garden. That is, excusing a bank ot
Indians you don't get to see und a gat-
ling gun you can't keep from hearing.
All the foregoing Is by way of pre
liminary to saying that "Wild Nell, a
Child of the Regiment," opened a
week's engagement at the Bijou Mon
day night, and that It Is all to the mus
tard and then some.
Miss Prescott Is downright clever.

as has "The Gingerbread Man," the
brand new financial falryesque that

the fancy of our youth nnd introduces

characters of our story book days. Real
flesh and blood people of our Infancy
dance, sing and make merry to the
jingling melody of verse and brilliant
humor.

attraction at the Grand next Monday
