from the pleasure, particularly if it is

horny-handed sons Of toll are on their

Some unreasonable people have
prejudice against the use of tobacco,
and claim that 1t is nasty habit. If
everybody thought alike on this subject
the tObaccOniStS would soon be forced
into bankruptcy. 1t is true that we do
not take stale tobacco smoke as staple
article of perfume, but just consider
what a large amount of philosophy may
be studied when one thinks of the
fragrance of a good cigar and compares
it with that of the same cigar shut up
in a clOSely-elOsed room over night.

fumes, without the disagreeable neces-
sity of doing any of the putting. This
is not exactly the case with chewing to-

tense hatred which most women have
for it in that form. But, then, the fair
sex have so many whimS that it is i'm
possible to please them in everything.
Another good use for tobacco stores
lies in the fact that most OF them dis
play the official base ball scores for the
benefit of the passing public, who ''Just
drop in to see who won to-day" and,
having satisfied their curiosity, pass on
to the next store to purchase their even

all who smoke tobacco actually purchase
it. The reader may have noticed

His industry is often rewarded With

miss the thought with the statement
that scientists declare that nothing is

Tobacco is one of the freest articles
to some people. Most consumers are
compelled to purchase it, but there are
great many people who do not rec0g-
