until provided with smoke.
No ardent lover OF tue fragrant weed pulls ut
a cigar with more relish than this goat. A COM

lighted weed Is placed In his mouth, and the
right fore foot makes motions toward the whis-
ers as though TO stroke them. But Billie Is no
ordinary smoker, nor Is he unskilled in the habit
He is not only cOnnOisseur OF the best clear
Havana goods but Is an adept at fast putting
and graceful manipulation OF the weed while in
his mouth. The smoke is never pulled out OF
