M that one suggest that he smoke a
pipe on a wager, ten good cigars being
the stake. The fellows selected an old,
strong pipe, whose perfume would make
a horse feel dizzy, and filled it with to-
bacco. An old smoker was placed OPP
posite the barber TO be the other par
ticipant In the contest. 1t was about :
o'clock last evening when the fun began
and the shop was filled. The barber
started of IN q gay manner, but soon

him, for he soon began to feel pale; he
looked that way, too. He lost the wager
for he got so sick he cou ldn't see, and
didn't shave anothe face last night.
