The Habit of sr1okine.


A well-known loca' .obacco dealer

in part:
the $4,000, 600, 00o cigars smoked in
the United States every year. how few
men really know how to smoke. There
is n mistake in particular that even
experienced smokers sometimes make;
that is, in not keeping the tobacco
burning properly.
"a large percentage, I should say,
of all the cigars used are better on
the outside than the inside. This isn't
wholly to deceive the prospective buy

posed of inferior tobacco. The smoker
who permits his cigar to burn inside
the wrapper loses the best part of il.
The aroma is lost and the smoke is
bitter and acrid.
Putting on a cigar that is not burn
ing properly only increases the DIM
Guilty. The smoker gets more of the
smoke of the inside leaves, and the
whole cigar becomes hot from the eff

the center of it. The proper thing,
the only thing, to do is to light the
cigar again, taking care that
and all are included in the lighting.
If this plan were followed a good

brand of cigars so ften."-Hartford

%ternoon, and as a result OF the accident
he will lose a portion. If not his entire
right hand.
He had charge OF the wrecking train
which went to Wallace to clear away
the wreck which occurred there on Fri
day night, just after young Eugene
Virgins was run over.
The debris was cleared away yester-
day and Capt. Newell was on his re-
turn to Wilmington. When the wreck
ing train reached Castle Haynes it
stopped to get a freight car that was on
the side track. Captain Newell did not
wait for the brakeman to couple up the
car but stepped in between the cal
h1msef to do so. In some manner he
got his right hand caught between the
bumpers and his fingers and the palm
OF his hand up to the base of his thumb
was fearfully mashed.
When the trainwen saw hat Capt.
Newell was injured. the engine and
one car was cut loose from the remain
der of the train and he was brought to
the city Wnere ne could secure a. ply
sician. In the meantime the office had
been notified and when the train
reached the train DR.. Pride Thomas
was there. He saw that it wo,11 he nee
essary to perform an operation on the
hand so he carried Captain Newell to
the James Walker Memorial hospital.
The operation will be performed his
morning n the physicians state that
they cannot tell yet whether he will
lose his entire hand or not. They think
that they may be able to save his
thumb and possibly a portion Of his
hand.
Captain Newell is a freight conductor
and his run is between Wilmington
n Charleston. He is a son of Mr.. w.
II. Newell. who is superintendent OF
the Norfolk division Of the Coast Line.
Reports from the hospital last night
were to the effect that Capt. Newell
was resting as well as could be ex-
pected. The accident at Castle Haynes
occurred yesterday evening between
4 n 5 o'clock.
