A HABIT THAT ANNOYS,
NAUSEATES, AND EVEN KILLS.
DR.. Smith Arraigns the Tobacco
Habit and says America Spends
$7OO,OOO,OOO a Year.

KNOW ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost?9 was the
text of strong sermon by DR.. Alfred
Smith to his twilight congregation
against the use of tobacco. He brand
ed this as habit obnoxious to good
manners and good morals and in the
main part destructive of human health
and happiness.
With India starving to DEATH said
the speaker, "our country is spending
$7OO,OOO,O0O every year for tobacco,
which brings more trouble to the
home and the household than it can
bring pleasure. The weed contains
THAT most disastrous of all poisons,
nicotine, one drop of which on the
tongue of a cat will kill that animal
though it may have its nine lives. The
excretions from tobacco user in a
tub Of water after he has taken his
morning bath so poison the water that.
am creditably informed, it will kill
flies that drop into it. No man ever
smokes his pipe or cigar in a town or
house but his offensive smoke blows
into the nostrls Of another, and that
other person must endure the offense
to good manners no matter how SEN
sitive they may be. And yet ninety
per cent. of our boys are falling into
the most pernicious habit of cigarette
smoking, an invention of the devil, and
which is almost sure to tend to other
and stronger appetites and to lead the
boy astray in the end"

all Christian men and women take a.
firm stand against this dangerous

THE SEXTON ON A STRIKE.
His Refusal to Bury Body Caused
Speculation:Among Superstitious.

There We're a good many scared
darkeys around Camden and Wyoming
on Saturday night, and very few Of
Them ventured any where near the Pot
ter's field after dark. 1t seems that
after the inquest on the body Of John
Fruhe, the tramp who was found dead
in the road near Wyoming Saturday,
The undertaken carried the remains out
to Potter's Field for interment. The
grave digger of shat plot, however.
refused to bury the remains Saturday,
claiming it was too hot to dig the
grave, and the box containing the
corpse lay in the open field all night.
The negro element claims that Fruhe's
spirit objected to this treatmnt and
was waltzing round the field bewailing
the fate Of its earthly tenement.-A
