The Cigarette.

David Star Jordon, one of the lead
ing scientist in America and president
of Leland Stanford university says
that boys who have formed the
cigarette habit are like wormy apples
they drop long before the harvest
time. They rarely make failures in
after life, because they seldom have
any after life. The boy who begins
smoking cigarettes before his fifteenth
year never enters the life of the
world. When other boys are taking
hold of the worlds work he is con-
cerned with the sexton and the under
taker.

Some things transpire in this world

Monday night Chinaman who pre-
sides over the executive department of
laundry On Jefferson street opposite

that the object of his concern had en-

muscle was becoming sore from over
exertion, and despairing of accomplish
ing any lasting results, he appealed 70
the law. He was conducting neither
a Kelley cure institute or a lodging
house. but plain, modest establish

big rent and needed all The available
space.

Ger, but as the Chinaman was insist-

him over to the jail. Arrived at the
laundry they found a sleeping drunk
on the floor, dead to the world. He
was great big brawny fellow and
man. But he had the Chinaman
bluffed and it took considerable per
suasion on the part of the officer, ac-
companied by liberal threats, before
the Mongol would consent TO touch
him. Finally they got him into the
hack, and later into the Jail. AS the
door locked on him, he said to the Of

he began the construction Of an alibi. !
