A Dangerous Cigar.

Representative Gaines. of Tennessee,
has never quite forgiven Old Book Man
Guild for the bad cigar story he told
about him. The old gentleman has
been a close student OF human nature
and he perhaps knows more public men
than any merchant or tradesman in
Washington. Mr.. Guilds old book place
has been located for nearly half a cen
tury at the foot of the Capitol, and hun
dreds OF lawmakers have become his
personal friends. One day Representa-
tive Gaines dropped in with couple OF
women and made a few purchases. and
while talking TO the old man asked him
IL Congressman bought many old books.
Yes" was the reply. but they ought
20 buy a great many more. 1 don't think
