have again renowned the pernicious
and terrible tobacco habit Most every year |
quit smoking and lead different life for
several weeks, and it is pleasure would

certain whether would renouuce my pipe
or not. 1t was solace to me when was
lonely, it gave me much pleasure, and

Camp threw my pipe over into the woods
as far as the strength Of great resolution
could send it.

through the air. and how ! went husthng
through the air the following week on my
hands and kpees hunting for it.
