Literature and Tobacco.

Somehow or other we associate to-.
tacco with literary men, but not ali
writer's are lovers OF the weed. Goethe
hated tobacco intensely and never
lost chance to attack it. Heinrich
Heine had the same dislike.
Balzac, who lived on black coffea.
preached wisely to the young about
the vice of smoking, and Victor lugo
and Dumas were equally opposed to
the practice. But the list of French
smokers comprises many great names,
such as Alfred de Mnsset Eugene
Sue. Paul de st. Victor, Prosper Mer.

George Sand. often INDUCED In cigar

labors.
The poet Bloomfield wrote sweet
pastoral rhymes with cloud of to.
bacco smoke making fog around his
head. Campbell Moore and Byron
delighted in its temperate use, and
Tennyson was great smoker.
One of the quaint scenes in the
realm of letters is that of Carlyle and
his old mother sitting together by the
chimney corner each smoking a
"dark-brown pipe and chatting earn

TRUE ~O HIS PRINCIPLES,
Excellent Example Of Pessnisn IN

DR.. Charles D. Mc1ver, president
of the North Carolina State Normal

rural pessim1sm at a dinner given by
Robert c. Ogden in honor Of the Gen,
eral and Southern Education Boards,
'"There was once a North Carolina
countryman," he said who had an
idea that gayety was synonymous
with evil, an idea that he inculcated
into his family life. 1t came to pass
that the man committed murde- and
was sentenced to be hanged. Now.
in that part of the world the only
chances for amusement were III going
to hangings or travelling circuses
When the day on which he was to be
executed approached, the condemned
man wrote a note to his wife, saying:
Don't let the children come to the
hanging. | know you'll be there, but
do please keep the little ones away
'To this the wife replied:
It's just like yoH to ask what you
do. You never diG want the children
