saw young man light long
Hungarian cigar the other evening
and throw himself back in q chair
to enjoy the smoke and conversation.
Tho Hungarian cigar is something
like Pittsburg toby. only 1t is
twice as long as the Pittsburg arti-
Gle. and before you get through
with IT also twice as strong. The
young man was more interested in
the conversation than in the cigar,
apparently. for he laid the latter
down on the edge OF the table for a
moment rs he talked. The waggish
gentleman next to him slyly took
the cigar and cut orr about three
inches Of the Are end and began to
smoke it. replacing the body of the
weed. When the young man
got through with his story.
ut which all the rest laughed
extravagantly. he picked up the
cigar again and pulled at it His
face wore a puzzled look rs he
glanced at the end OF it and saw it
had apparently never been lighted.
But he struck match and lighted it
again. After Il few putfs he laid it
down to answer the pleasantries,
whereupon the man on the other
side drew his knife and neatly cut
the fire end off and dropped it into
the cuspidor. The expression on the
face OF the story teller when he
picked up that cigar and again es-
sayed to smoke. was something too
funny to describe. lie gave two or
three vigorous pulls at 1t, then
STOPPED and looked at the fresh end.
while the other fellows were inter-
ested in almost anything else ut the
moment.
AS soon as the would-be smoker
saw that his cigar had not been
lighted he turned little pale, and
with a hasty apology and story
of an alleged forgotten engagement,
bolted for the street. amid the de-
moniacal glee of the cruel men left
behind. Thus doth conscience make
