Pierre Lorillard l‘ollowu “’illinm “'11!—
dorf Astor and James Gordon lie-mien.
Pierre Lorillard, Who is to shake the
dust of America from him and devote
his entire future energies to trying to
live in England, just like Lord Beres-
ford, will continue to manufacture
chewing tobacco for the American pro-
letaire. .
Mr. Lorillard began to ’think in the
English caste in 1881, when his noted
horse Iroquois won the Derby on Ep-
som Downs. Over there, you under—
stand, they race on the turf, and “turf-
man” has a tangible meaning. Over
here, you know, they race. on mud and
dust. Now, to be a true turfman, one
must live and race in England. Then,
besides, Mr. Lorillard, like his proto—
types, Mr. Astor and Mr. Bennett,
found that Americans were as yet in
the transition stage between the sav—
age and the social state, and that a
really civilized, fine—haired, sensitive
man could not exist socially, in Ameri—
ica. without pain. He has therefore
determined to struggle for existence
no longer in such an environment and
to surrender at once to the civilization
of Lunnon.

' ' ’MR. LORILLARD.
Mr. Lorillard will sell out his Amer-
ican estates and spend his money in
England, just like a real lord. He will,
however, continue to manufacture
small plug and unlimited quantities of
snuff. He will never go near
American hotels in Britain, where
cuspidores are used, and he will
avoid diplomatic circles, where
snuff is still taken. With these two
precautions there is no imaginable rea-
son why he should be reminded of the
source of his income.
Mr. Lorillard is in the prime of life
and has many years of good pleasure
before him 'to say nothing of the mon-
ey-making snuff and profitable “whole
plug” that he has behind him.
Lincoln’s Best Stories.
It is wonderful how many stories
President Lincoln told. Senator Voor-
hees said that Lincoln had more stor-
ies than any other man he had ever
met. He had a story for 'every occa-
sion, and he illustrated everything by
anecdote. Some of the best stories
current to-day originated with Lincoln
and hundreds of his best stories have
never been published. Senator Voor-
hees had preserved at number which he
expected to use in the lectures which
he was preparing at the time he died.
Here is one he told. “It was,” said he,
“in illustration of some parties who had
been making a great fuss about Lin-
coln’s administration without having
any ground for doing so. They had
charged all sort of things and, arguing
from their own charges as premises,
had made Lincoln out as being a. very
bad man. President Lincoln told me
that their action reminded him of a
law suit in which he was once engaged.
The opposing lawyer was a glib talker,
but a very light weight as a. thinker
and not at all careful as to the truth
of his statements.
the first speech to the jury and Lincoln
followed. He opened his speech by
saying:
“ ‘My friend who has just spoken to
you? would be all right if it were not
for one thing, and I don’t know that
you ought to blame him for that, for
he can’t help it. What I refer to is
his reckless statements without any
ground of truth. You have seen in-
stances of this in his speech to you.
Now, the reason of this lies in the con—
stitution of his mind. The moment
he begins to talk all his mental opera-
tions cease, and he is not 1‘c-Sponsible.
He is, in fact, much like a little steam-
boat‘that I saw on the Sangamon riv-
er when I was engaged in boating
there. This little steamer had a. five-
foot boiler and 'a seven—foot whistle,
and every time it whistled it stopped.’ ”
An Ingenious llIother. ‘
During one of his journeys a famous
traveller came to a lonely cabin, and
found the door-wide open. In the cen-
ter of the room he entered he found a
cradle, in which an infant was reclin-
ing, fast asleep. The cradle was rock-
ing with surprising regularit , but no
sign of what propelled it could be seen. ‘
The traveller’s curiosity was aroused.
He went to the cradle and found a
stout cord attached to a nail driven in
the side of it. The cord he found pass-
ed through an auger-hole in. the side
of the house. He took up the trail,
which soon led him into a ravine where
a donkey was standing and switching
his tail. The mystery was explained.
The other end of the cord was attach-
ed to the ass’s tail, and the constant
switching of its caudal appendage fur-
nished motive power sufficient to rock
the. cradle. '

ATE: WHEN AND WHAT HE WANT-ED
MN HM Lived in the Queen 016. Age of
(HIV-I‘II‘JHI‘I‘Pd and Ten Years.
"What advice would you give to peo-
ple who want to live long?” The ques-
tion was popped at the oldest veteran
in the world, Captain Jack Haynes, Of
St. Louis, who, on Christmas, was 110
years old. . .
“I would advise them to eat every-
thing they like, as I have done,” was
the sturdy reply. If there is any sec—
ret of his long life, it is to be found
in his cheerful disposition. He doesn t
worry, and never has done so. ‘ Hf! 13
ready to go from earth at any time?
Asked “Do you want to live longer?
he replied, “It is all in the hands of
my Heavenly Father. If He wants me
to .lige longer, I am contented to sta .
If He wants me to come up higher, I
am ready.” _
Ga«ptain Haynes still keeps his in-
terest in the affairs of the world, but
events pass before him as in a dream.
He sees what is going on, but it doesn’t
affect him. Although he doesn’t expect
to be here to see whether his prophecy
is fulfilled or not, he predicts that the
next ten years will bting forth an in-
dustrial revolution, ”unless the present
trend of things is stopped.”
'The captain is unable to account for
his long life. “I never had any ideas
about how to live,” he says; “I never
have taken unusually good care of my-
self. My work often subjected me to
exposure, but that doesn’t seem to have
hurt me. I never has? a bad spell of
sickness until I. had the grip here last
year, and when I was a boy they used
to call it just a hard cold. A good
many times I have been where there
was contagious disease, even yellow
fever on the Mississippi boat on which
I was running, but I never was caught.
“As to eating, I always ate Whenever
and whatever I Wanted, and when I
was flush at times I lived pretty high.
I never have smoked, but up to five
years ago I used 10 cents worth of
chewing tobacco a day. When I came
to the home I gave up that habit, be-
cause it is so dirty. I always have
drank when I felt like it, but never to
‘ excess.”
Captain Haynes volunteered in his
little Tennessee town for the War of
1812, and was with Jackson when the
veterans of Pakenham were hurried
back from the cotton ramparts of New
Orleans. “It was there,” he said, “that
I gOt my nickname of “Captain Jack.
General Andy Jackson gave it to me,
and it has clung to me ever-since. The
General seemed to take a fancy to me,
and he had me carry messages for
him.” \‘
Steam navigation was very young
when the Captain learned how to run
a marine engine. . He got his first ex-
perience on a slave ship between New
Orleans and Liberia. In 1818 he was
engineer of the first-steamboat built at
New Orleans.
was too old to enlist, but he kept at his
work as an engineer 0 the Mississippi.
He 'made good money on a transport
for Grant, and finally Eads wanted him
to serve on the flotilla he had built.
Haynes was not anxious to go in the
regular service, but he was told that a.
file ‘of soldiers would take him if he
didn’t go willingly, and he thought it
better policy to consent.
Seven years ago next April he joined
Blair Post, G. A. R., of St. Louis, giv-
ing his age as 103 years. Two or three
years after that he was obliged to give
up work and become an inmate of the
Soldiers’ Home.
