Wenton, as | have said, was on
youngest member, and our pleasure
having him with US on that particu
night was enhanced by the fact ii
for several weeks he had been ab

II have been mich interested in
what has been said, began Wenton,
changing to more comfortable posi-
ton, 'and it reminds me of little in
cident that happened some two years

reason for remembering it,
As said before, was on my way
west at the time, iourneying by easy
stages, and had made my first stop in
New York, where it was my intention
to spend a few days in combined bust
aud sightseeing. But finding the city
hot dirty and deserted of all who pos
sessed sufficient means to leave it, re-
yersed my purpose and decided to
press on into scenes more refreshing
and congenial
Casting about for the means best
suited to this end, l at last embarked
upon the fleet steamer Mary b for
an afternoons run up the Hudson.
We left the dock in the North
River at mid afternoon of warm sum
mers day, and bore smoothly up the
stream amidst scenes | need not dcs-
crihe, for YOU have all beheld their
beauties for yourselves. In two hour
time or perhaps a little more, We had
trayersed the lower portion OF the
river and were then drawing in among
the picturesque Highlands
AS we approached the narrowing
gate formed by the hills, where they
encroached their mighty masses boldly
against the rivers edge, the burning
sun slipped rapidly down the west, its
flaming disk growing larger as ii
neared the rugged horizon
The atmosphere of late afternoon
was mellowed by warm, palpitating
haze, through which the shores were
seen as If veil Of gold interviewed.
''The boat forged swiftly ahead,
touching now one shore, now the
other, and crossing in its zigzag
course between the hills many river
crafts, the putting tug dragging in
long procession its attendant fotilla
of canal boats, the blackened salmon
skiff or the sober side wheeler from
far-away Albany.

How to Smoke a Cigar.

Few people know how to smoke CT
gar In fact, few people know anything
about cigar. Old cigar dealers say
that not 4 per cent. of their customers
can tell good cigar when they smoke
it, much less when they see it. A
great mistake IN smoking cigar is to
continually beat it with your fingers
or scrape it in order to keep it Tree
from ashes. The ashes on cigar while
it is being smoked make it better.
They prevent it, first. from burning
too rapidly, and, second, from accum-
ulating dust or foreign substance on
the tip. 1t is mistake to squeeze a
cigar or to roll it. If it is wrapped too
tight it should not be smoked. If it is
not wrapped too tight it is unnecessary
to squeeze it, for rough handling only
breaks and crumples the filling. In
short, as an old cigar dealer says.
"Cigars are like women-very few of
them are alike, fewer of them still are
much good, and all of them must be
coddled, humored and fused over,
with the reward ofavery little pleasure
for a great deal of time. "-Nea0 York
