Statesmen Abusing the Weed.

Senator Hampton has queer habit.
He does not chew or smoke to any extent,
but he is fond of pinching off sections of a
fine cigar, powdering it in his hand and
shutting it. He will sit in the cloak-room
where he can see the Presidents desk and
snuff cigars for an hour at time
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, also has a
nicotine fad. 1t is to- indulge in dry
smoke" That is, he keeps an unsmoked
or half-smoked cigar in his mouth all the
time. General Samuel Thomas, Of the
Brice-Thomas-Seney syndicate, got into
this habit as compromise between smok-
ing and not smoking, and the result was a
surgical operation to remove tumor-like
growth that appeared on his lips Just at
the place where he always held his I'M
lighted cigar. The doctors told him to
either smoke or let the whole thing alone,
and not to carry an unlighted cigar in his
mouth - VasdislgtOn Post.

of being rescued, and had come TO the
conclusion that they would soon have To
drop. Raymond's hold was slipping, and
his knees were pinned close together by
Whitelys arms Every time they spoke or
made the slightest movement il would
give motion TO their bodies, and this made
