Wind Couldn't Stop His Watch.

There is singular but an absolutely
true story of watch which went
through the cyclone. The timepiece,
which has been under fire and is now
veteran, was an old one of strong
build. When the storm struck. the
owner, whose name is Bryant forgot
all about his valuables in the hustle
for safety. The watch was in the
drawer of the bureau. After the blow
was over, Mr.. Bryant found himself al
most without scratch, and went back
to view the house. He found nothing
but landscape. He began to search
about the ruins early the next morn
ing, and here comes the funny but true
part Of It, In the bottom Of an un-
broken picket jar were the works of
the watch, ticking away, while the
silver case could not be found.-St.

SMOKING CONTESTS.
A Hundred stronr Cigars in Twelve
Hours

A Hundred strong Cigars in Twelve
Hours.
Smoking is the temperate as well as
the contemplative mans recreation,
and great smokers are 10th to exhibit
their tobacco-consuming abilities by
engaging in smoking contests. still'
however, there have been some curious
tobacco burning races, says London
Tit-Bits. In 1928 there was great
smoking match at Oxford, a scaffold
being erected in front Of an inn for the
accommodation of the competitors. The
conditions were that any one man or
woman who could smoke three ounces IN
of tobacco first without drinking or
leaving the stage should have prize
of II shillings. MANY tryed," says
Hearne, "and twas thought that a
journeyman taylour of st. Peter's-in-
the-East would have been the victor,
he smoaking faster than and being
many pipes before the rest, but at last
he was so sick that twas thought he
would have dyed, and an old man that
had been a builder and smoaking gent
ly came off the conqueror, smoaking
the three ounces quite out, and he
told me that after it he smOaked four
or five pipes the same evening"" About
forty years ago gentleman agreed to
smoke a pound weight Of strong for
eign cigars in twelve hours. The hun
dred cigars making up the pound were
all to be smoked down to one-inch
butts. The match was decided on a
Thames steamer plying between Lon
don and Chelsea and by taking up his
position we'll forward the smoker had
the full benefit of the wind. The
contest began at 10 a. NJ, and in the
first hour the smoker consumed sixteen
cigars. After nine hours Shaking Sc
had been disposed of, and with three
hours to go and only fourteen cigars
to smoke, the hacker of time gave in.
The winner declared that he felt no
discontinue during the contest, and
finished off the 100 cigars that even
ing. More recently solid silver ci-
gar case and 200 cigars were offered
to the smoker who consumed most
cigars in two hours. Food, drink and
medicine during the contest were for
hidden. There were seventeen en-
tries. After the first hour ten COM
petitors retired. The winner, who
smoked without pause from start to
finish, reduced ten large cigars to
ashes in the two hours, while the
nearest competitor only finished seven.
The people of Lille are inveterate
smokers, and to decide the Champion
ship of the town smoking contest was
held. Each competitor was provided
with a pipe, fifty grams (about an
ounce and three-Quarters) of tobacco
and pot of beer. The one who smok-
ed the tobacco first was to be the win
ner. At the signal the air was filled
with clouds of smoke. In thirteen
minutes workingman As years Of
age had reduced his weed to ashes,
while seven minutes later the second
man had finished his little smoke. Aft
er such herculean smoking matches it
is scarcely necessary to mention the
American contest, in which the win
ner smoked 100 cigarettes in six hours
ard thirty-five minutes.
