The difference in DeyOtees Of h Weed

The Difference In Deyotees of the Weed.
Yes, sir, said a cigar merchant to a
reporter last night, Il am inclined to be-
lieve that the smoking habit is spreading
in Cheyenne to a ratio greater then the
increase of population.
Can you account for il p
No, ! cannot, but | have noticed the
fact and think other cigar dealers will
bear me out in this matter. Did you ever
walk down a busy thoroughfare and
notice how few mep there are whose lips
do not c%ncircle a cigar2 MOI Well, just
try the experiment and you will be sur
prised.
Il find IN the course of my everyday
business that the habit Of smoking is in
dulged in to the greatest extent a~mongthe
classes of men who are the least able to
afford it. 1t has been my observation
hat the big business man of Cheyenne,
or the professional man who has an in.
come which may be rated from fair to
larVe, pays less for smoking than does
the clerk, working for a salary Of $50,
500 or SIS per month. | have among
my patrons several, whom ] could name,
with incomes far into the thousands who
always call for a five cent cigar, at the
same time that your $50 clerk will pom
pously call for a ten cent straight
YES, sir, the expensive cigars are al
ways bought by the very men who cant
afford tosmoke a five cent cigar. Ofcoursc,
however, there are a great many rich men
who buy nothing but the very finest
goods, Yes, | sell a great many 10 cent
cigars, as also 20 and 25 ccntcrs.
What class Of men smoke the best
kind Of cigars2 The sporting men, OF
course. A great many Of them smoke,
and smoke constantly, the . flora. quarter,
or even a quarter cigar. Outside of thi.
elass of patrons, | should say that the
clerks are the best class Of customers
FAN men don't know a good cigar
from a bad ono by its taste. III wager
that there are plenty of men who in
their own estimation arc good judges Of
cignrs, and yet cant tell a 8 cent smoke
from a 10 cent one. To be a thorough
Judge of a good article one must be ac-
quainted with the mechanical make up OF
a cigar. must be able to tell the quality OF
the kind Of wrapping and filing used,
must be able to detect at once any rotten
ness or infcriority in the leaf. and above
ali must not allow their taste TO become
yitiated by continual smoking Of bad CT
gars | believe il takes years to become
. strictly hst class judge of tobacco, and

Going round by lambeth one after.
noon, in the early summer OF 1870,
Dickens abruptly asked:
what do you think would be the
reali alton of one Of my most cherished
day-dreamsfi adding instantly, without
waiting for any answer, To settle down
now for the remainder OF my life within
easy distance Of a great theatre, in the
direction of which | should hold
supreme authority. 1t should be
a house, of course, having a
skilled and noble company, and one in
every way magnihcently appointed.
The pieces acted should be dealt with
according to my pleasure, and touched
up here and there in obedi nee to my
own judgment, the players as well as
the plays being absolutely under my
command. There, said he, laughingly,
and in a glow at the mere fancy, that's
my day dream
Dickens delighted enjoyment, in fact,
Of everything in any way connected with
the theatrical profession was second
only to that shown by him in the indul-
gence of the master-passion of his lifo,
his love Of literature.
