THEY SWORE OFF.
When He Resumed His Little Vice. She
Took Up with Her own.

A prominent young man of this city
has been an inveterate cigarette smoker
for several years past, and he indulged
in the habit to such an extent that it
was injuring his health. He has girl
of whom he thinks all the world, and
it's case of vice versa. This young
lady has very good complexion, but
has an inordinate love for the use of
powder, which habit the young man de-
tests as heartily as she does his cigarette
habit. They finally agreed that each
would swear off, the one from using
powder and the other from smoking
cigarettes.
1t was hard work for the young man,
but every time he hungered for wad
of nicotine his mind pictured the form
of his fair one parading down street
with her face looking like pan of
dough, and he desisted. This went on
for several weeks, and each was remark
ing how much better the other was
looking, but the old craving for the cof-
fin nail came upon the young man once
more, and one day last week he broke
over. He thought no one would ever
find it out but he was seen, the news
was carried to the girl, and she pre-
pared to get even.
They Were to go to see a certain popu
lar comedian the last night he was here,
and the young man called with cab
The young lady was at the door, her
face closely muffied, and in her hand
the bouquet that cost him So. Arrived
at the opera house, they were entering
the door when the young man turned
to speak TO the fair one by his side. Oh,
that face! She had smeared it with
powder until it had been necessary to
cut eyeholes. 1t was frightful. He
stopped "Are you going in looking like
that?"
Just as you say" was the response.
"Well, say no. I'm not travelling
with freaks now. Well go back home +"
And they did 1t cost him $40, there
were two vacant seats at the opera
house, but the young man has not
smoked any cigarettes since. Indian

Chemical Perfumes.

Chemistry seems to furnish substi-
tutes for the expensive perfumes now
made from flowers. It has long been
known that the exact odor of the ba-
mana is produced in the laboratory.
There seems possibility, however, that
even when some fragrant plants cease
to be cultivated for the perfumes many
may become of Importance in surgery.
1t has been discovered that some such
plants are free from the attacks Of in
sects and from fungous growths, and this
may be due to the fact that their essen
tial oils have antiseptic properties. The
eucalyptus yields an antiseptic, and so
do other familiar plants. - Chicago

worth repeating: To two parts of unself-

easily be obtained. Stir in two hours

moved and an eye that looks out ON
the brighter side of life. Into this mix

sprinkle of the essence of romance

A story with n Resonant Moral.

Young men ought not to play poker
or old men, for that mater-at any time,
and when poker is played in business
hours the Nervousness of the act is fla
grant. SO when President Warren Elliott
of the Wilmington and Weldon railway
came unexpectedly upon group of his
young men playing poker, with coffee
beans for chips, the other day, he ac-
cepted their explanation that there was
no work on hand and the game was
"just for amusement. At some remote
period of his existence Mr.. Elliott had
been initiated into the intricacies Of the
game, and so he drew up a chair and
watched it with interest. Each young
man had in front of him a pile of coffee
beans, which, as they were careful to
explain to the president, were of nc
value whatever As matter of fact,
they had been bought of the banker for
20 cents each. The president of the
road watched the game with mild in
terest and from time to time absently
helped himself to pinch of beans from
the different piles on the table, masti,
eating them with the Indifferent air OF
man who knew that unground coffee
was only 40 cents a pound. The an.
guish Of the young men, who saw theil
chips melt away, was poignant, but no.
body dared to explain. When the presi.
dent had consumed all the beans in
sight, he said good night in the most
affable way and went off with an limo.

had no chips to redeem is now warm
