Field has always used liquor, hut TO-
bacco was touched BY him only once.
He secured his fathers pipe and used
it. The first few Whids were de-
lightful, but the delight turned TO
disappointment and sickness. He
put the pipe away With the resolve
ever again TO touch tobacco In any
form. The resolution has been faith
fully kept.
Now, what is a man going TO do in
the face OF these remarkable circum-

smoked but once He is l02 years

standards, he attained his great age
because ne did not use tobacco. Could
there be a stronger argument against

used liquor all his life. There is no
other way 70 do than 70 contend that

some money and called for quart OF
beer. Clancy was alone in the room. He
drew the beer for the man. ana when
it was placed on the bar, the man who
had spoken, said he wouldn't pay for
it, and at the same time swept mug and

twenty pounds, and struck him in the
back of the head, giving Clancy the blow
