on the evil worked and the waste of money
of the tobacco habit
take your own case, John" he said
"fou have been steady smoker for twenty
hive years and at an average cost of 5000 a
year you have spent $I2, 500. That money
| If it had been saved year by year and Judi
ciously invested, would amount to $40, 900
by this time. You should be the owner to-

smoked up fortune"
John listened quietly to the flow of wisdom
and after little time said:
"Say, Depew, you don't smoke, do your"
''No, sir; do not,'' said Chauncey,
proudly. g
''Havn't smoked for years, have you De
pew9''
''No, sir; have not" said Chauncy, with
increasing pride.
'Say, Depew," said John, confidentially,
''where's your block of houses3''
Perhaps it was this hard call down which
determined Mr.. Depew to convert tobacco
money into real estate.
Senator Da Wis, of Minnesota, is famous In
Washington because of his cigars. He buys
the best that can be had and the strongest
and blacklist. He buys them in 600 lots
and pays 5000 per thousand for them Some
times he smokes as many as dozen day,
but his nerves never seem to be affected.
1t is SAID that when the Minnesota states
man was young man, and much poorer
than ne IS today. he made vow that il he
ever became rich he would smoke the finest
cigars that he could buy, and smoke them
all day long too. II he made such vow he
is living up to it.

II we are not in too great haste, and con-

grows to large size and makes nice ap-

IL you are fond of onions do not forget

DOLLAR CIGARS FOR WALES

English society journals dwell with loving
Frequency upon the cigars which the Prince
Of Whales smokes. 1t Is a matter Of great
pride for the loyal Briton to know that the
prince smokes cigars which cost four
shillings apiece, and to keep the fact ever
present in the nations eye paragraph to
that effect is religiously printed every few
weeks.
1t has been reckoned that the prince
spends about $ia, 900 year on cigars. OF
course he does not smoke all this money
himself. Occasionally he distributes few
of his famous sneakers among his friends
and it is esteemed great honor to have
been rendered cigar by his royal hiehness.
He limits himself to ten cigars day, but as
he only smokes e-half of the weed, he does
not, in reality, consume more tobacco than
the man who allows himself Ave.
The prince has an idea that the first half
of cigar is the only proper end to smoke.
He claims that the ERE ruins the flavor of the
latter half. and as he has the funds to In
dulge this idea, it brings joy to the heart Of
the man who has the contract Of supplying
the weed. The cigars are Of Cuban make
and are packed in highly finished boxes.
They are made up in three different sizes and
are supplied in lots Of 1000.
tits sad fact to relate, but there is more
than one dude in New York who has q cigar
given him by the prince, or obtained at Sec
ond hand. hanging in specially made frame
in his apartments. To smoke that cigar
would be deemed dreadful sacrilege by
the owner. 1t may be that it will be handed
down as family heirloom. unless common
sense intervenes.
