HIS LAST CIGAR.
Few a Clergyman Was Cured of the Taste
For Tobacco.

Few a Clergyman Was Cured of the Taste
For Tobacco.
An English Clergyman, who was hard
smoker, was cured of the taste for tobacco
by sudden twinge of conscience.
He was sitting one day In his library
with an expensive cigar In his mouth
when the name of one of his Oldest friends
was announced. The visitor, when greet
ings had been warmly exchanged, con-
fessed that he lad come upon a begging
errand.
A story of pathetic distress was told,
and an urgent appeal was made for imme-
diate relief. The clergyman was warm
hearted, generous man, and his hand was
plunged at once into his pocket, but ne
found only few shillings there. He then
fumbled In his desk for his checkbook, re-
marking 20 his friend that 1t was a very
sad and urgent cnse and that he would 90
what he could but when he looked ut his
bank balance his face changed color. The
account was nearly overdrawn already.
81 am very sorry, he said. II can only
give you beggarly sum. i did not know
how poor WAS
The check which he drew was only q
fifth of the amount which was needed.
He made many apologies for giving the
visitor so little money when his heart was
deeply touched, and he longed to do more.
When his friend had gone, he relighted
his cigar, but 1t seemed to have bitter
taste, and he took out fresh one. Before
striking match no jotted down on paper
the price of the cigar, and the number
which he usually smoked day. He found
that tobacco was costing him shillines
day and over 900 year, or about
$3.50 In American money. Tho amount
which he had given to his old friend In
dire distress represented the cost Of "
days smoking.
The clergyman was an impulsive man.
Instead Of lighting bis fresh Cigar OF the
choicest brand he threw II into the fire on
his hearth. He was 20 deeply impressed
with the thought that little self denial
on his part would have enabled him to
help an old friend In great need that he re-
solved sternly never TO smoke again. be.
