SMOKING A CIGAR.

II have customer who thinks he
smokes twenty cigars day." said a
downtown dealer. Gas matter of
fact, he gives away many of them
and throws away some that are only
partly consumed. However, he is
firm in the belief that he smokes
more actual tobacco than any man in
New York, and boast on the sub
ject in my store yesterday led to a
curious bet.
"He declared, to begin with, that
he could smoke three ordinary cigars
in half an hour. A bystander re-
marked that no man alive could
smoke even one cigar continuously
until it was consumed without taking
it from his lips. 'Bosh 7 said my
man. I do that right along and
think nothing of it,
.. '.'I'll bet you a box of perfect os
you can't do it right now,' said the
other, and in half minute the wager
was made. By its terms the cigar
was to be consumed in steady consec-
utive puffs and not removed from the
lips until burned to a mark one and a
half inches from the tip. A clear
Havana Colorado Madura was selec-
ted for the test, and the smoker took
a seat and began,
HE puffed like an engine for
about two minutes and accumulated
something under half an inch of ash,
and then he began to warble. He
shifted the cigar from side to side,
pulled slow and fast and seemed to
have difficulty getting his breath be-
tween the draws. At any rate, he
kept turning his head to avoid the
smoke and finally got to laughing.
l could see he was in torture, but he
stuck to it until he got within half an
inch of the mark. Then he jumped
up suddenly, threw the cigar away
and walked out of the shop.
''I paid the bet and charged it to
his account, and he told me last even
ing that the very idea of tobacco
made him sick. 1 doubt whether it
would be possible for anybody to
smoke even moderately strong cigar
through in the manner I have de-
scribed. ."-NeaU York Press.
BUT He Meant Well-The good
man was comforting the stricken
widow. do not grieve, sister, +"
said he. "Think how much better
off he is.'' And the good man won
dered why she longer refused to be
comforted by him.

The Clocks of Royalty.
Remembering the sort OF things thas
happened to the French king who loved
clockmaking the revelation c the fact
that King Edward is the possessor Of
four hundred clocks has caused much
grief among the superstitious.
For the express benefit of the king
the letter writing cranks have dug up

history Of the royal houses.
They recall the story OF the clock
given by King Henry VIII. TO Anne
Boleyn on her wedding morning, the
stand being engraved with the letters
III. A." and a true lovers knot. n
they recall hat the moment that her
mead rolled from the block on Tower
Green the clock fell TO pieces.
This leads to the old clock made for
the same king and now standing in
Hampton court. The clock, which had
been finished on the eve of the a
riage of Catherine Howard, mysteri-
ously struck II as she in her turn was
led out to die for the crimes of which
she had undoubtedly been guilty.
This clock stopped, too, on the mo-
ment Of the death of Anne of Dem

To all of which King Edward returns

mark that this sort of thing is one
OF the inevitable penalties of a public
position.

THE yERDTcT.


Having agreed regarding the verdict
they should pass on Dunstan Burbage,
the jury returned to their places with
the slow and solemn gait OF men
weighted by the heavy responsibility OF
another's fate. At sight OF them the
conversation Of those who had renain-
ed In court sank to a whisper n died
out IN ominous silence.
Al sudden gieam OF scarlet IN the
bench told that the judge had taken
his place. from where. within a couple
OF minute he would pronounce a SEM

prisoner, who. almost at the same In
