Cigar smoking, observes the Frank
lin Repository, is now a fashionable
habit, and one which is increasing at
alarming rate among half-grown boys,
and it is the opinion of well-known
physicians that if this habit is not
checked, additions to our asylums
will be in order. A physician, satis-
fled that there was death in that form
Of tobacco, had cigarette analyzed .
The result was startling. The tobac-
CO was found to be strongly impreg-
mated with opium, while the wrapper,
which was warranted to be rice paper,
was proven to be the most ordinary
quality of white paper whitcned with
arsenic-the two poisons scombined
being presented in sufficient quanti.
ties to create in the smoker the habit
Of using opium without bis being
aware Of it, and which craving cal
only be satisfied by an incessant con
SUMPTION of cigarettes.

Life In Lsaavilie.

Lie In Loodvflle.
Life IN I.eadville Is full Of excite
ment even for . barber. The other
day citizen by the name of Plug
strolled into q barber's establishment
where there were two chairs, and
fourteen men waiting. If there is
one ng'thst Ping despises it is
waiting arcInd while = lot of other
fellows get shaved. He figured on
how to avoid It, and espying 4 friend
in one of the chairs be stepped up to
him and spoke 4 few words to him in
a low tone. Suddenly he became
excited. Addressing his friend he
cried: 'At w.
''You third-rate mule -whacker, I'll
have your gore. -
And the friend yelled back:
"You greaser, I'll shoot you full
of holes" Ai'5 !. s-'S' st.s. y
. 81 can shoot you first" yelled
Plug, drawing his revolver. as
"pll let you see you can, - roar
ed the friend, leaping from bis chair.
BY this time a%cene Of Mild ex-
element was taking place in. the bar
Der shop. The whole fourteen wait
ing customers were wildly struggling
to get out before the shooting began.
The man in the other chair, without
stopping to wipe the lather from his
face, leaped from the window upon
the head OF policeman, who at once
arrested him for q mailman. One ot
the BARRIERS had bumped his head ter
ribly and got his mouth full of dust,
crawling under sofa, and the other
barber promptly concealed himself
behind door in the closet. As soon
IS the shop was cleared the two
friends stopped threatening each 9th
or, and after hearty laugh coaxed
the barber to come out and shave
them. Plug tried to explain to tht
head barber that it was all joke.
"But," said the barber, you're :
lighting man.
"No," said Plug, "rm regula'
coward. and couldn't lick . flea.
'Then, by tuuket," yelled thu
barber, ''you have driven over 81
worth of trade away from me ant
I'll take the value out of your hide
And he gotin several lusty blow
ON Plug before the latter could offe
to settle. And, somehow, Plus
doesn't think it was such a good jok
after all.
