A small Boys First Cigar

The half-dOzen mOuthfu!s OF smoke usu-
4lly brings the first drop of perspiration 10
the surface, and about that time there is
issue from the region of the small boys
heart Something has gone wrong - he
does not know exactly what, but thinks he
has swallowed one eighth of the smoke
and he takes the ci gar out Of his mouth and
regards 10 with 4 suspicious gaze. The
inspection seems TO assure him that the
cigar is not an Anarchist bomb or a social
isl torpedo and he bravely begins again.
This time he swallows seven-eights of the
smoke aud tears dim his youthful eyes as
he irantically tries 10 bring the smoke out
Of bis ears. but ne dOesn ialter yet, though
be wonders what is going 10 happen next as
he returns to the work he has himself laid
out IL Is later on IN the programme that
the work laws him ont. but barring
little shiver or TWO there has been no symp-
toms of such disaster yet.
No small boy in his gulleness ever begins
his first cigar without previously laying in
an inexhaustible store of matches This
enables him 10 scOrn asking another boy Tor
a light. 1t also enables him 10 get apprO-
prlately sick. A. he returns 10 hls cigar
now he notices that the smoke has ceased
curling from the lighted end. and finds,
after dne investigation, that il has really
gone out He lights il, bat the taste seems
10 have changed and grown bitter, and he
begins TO doubt the expediency of prosecu-
ting his study any further. Then another
little boy passes along. iugging valiantly at
another cigar and he begins TO take fresh
hope He mas grave doubts by this time of
the sanity OF the men who insist that
smoking is a pleasure, but Isn't quite pre-
pared for the revolution that soon begins.
Then there is a heaviness about the region
OF his stomach which he does not uuder-
stand; he hears the rumble of distant thun-
der; the birds cease their singing, the sky
turns green. the grass seems Glue and look
ofunutterable anguish settles upon his face
If ne be destined for future greatness his
immortal soul stays down.
The life of the small boy is filled with
exciting Incidents but there is no day so
big as that on which he smokes his first
heart; then he graduates from school, and
later on he gets married and still later dies.
But none of these events affect him quite a S
the first cigar. As he grows older the mem
Ory Of that event seems 10 inger by him,
and though recOlecuOns OF other events
fade. this at least be carries 10 the end
And when in after years his own small boy
comes staggering home reeking with the
OdOr of bad tobacco and that same look of
anguish on his face. il is with the conscious
ness of conviction that he assures the boy 5
mother of the futlity of cholera antidOtes
sgd advises the boy 10 20 and lie down

The Sinking of the Oregon,

The pilot boat and the small boats had left
the sinking ship with heavy loads Of human
freight. having about one hundred persons
aboard The steamer was settling lower each
minute, the prom being much lower than the
stern, and 1t seemed that each moment was 10
be the last. We could a lmost feel the asst
cOnvusive CULVER preparatory 10 the final
plunge. This was an exceedingly trying mo-
ment. There were no life preservers, as the
heavy sea had carried them overheard. Stand
ing rather apart from the other passengers,
was a beautiful girl whose terrified face de-
pcted the horrors of the fearful experience.
A tall, handsome young man stood beside her
with his arm tenderly encircling her slender
waist. He was evidently trying TO comfort her
with hopes of rescue: but the sweet creature
saw to plainly that unless something unlocked
for should occur they would soon lie at the
bottom of the great ocean, far away from
sweet home and dear friends. The young fel-
low was about TO tell his sweetheart that they
were lost when one of the sailors raised loud
cry, and looking over the bow of the boat the
passengers saw something dark standing out
toward them, and as the vessel drifted little
nearer, all saw that il was a great sign hang
ing suspended to something, and upon the sign
were these words: Emerson holds the bridge
to help the folks over" and in few minutes
they all stood safely-Elpon old mother earth.
They all shook hands with Uncle Emerson
and many of them accepted the assistance he
offered as they had lost all their effects on the
sinking shin, 81
