WHEN THE SMOKER FAILED.
Man Cannot Smoke a Cigar Without
Removing 1t from the Lips.

Man Cannot Smoke a Cigar Without
Removing 1t from the Lips.
Men are proud of their ability to
consume a number of strong CIGARS"
said cigar dealer the other day. Ac-
cording to the Newark IN. j. News,
They glory in it, even while they are
wishing they could break off the prac-
tice. And that reminds me of story.
Did you ever stop TO think what a
hard thing it would be to smoke
cigar continuously, without removing
ii from the mouth, until it was all
gone, or so short that it could not be
smoked convenientlyW
The reporter said he never had.
"Well, there was man in here once
who was making all sorts of cracks
about what smoker he was. Eighteen
cigars a day was his limit. There was
quiet chap in here at the same time
one of those who will smoke three
cigars a day, no more, no less, one
after each meal, and enjoy every inch
of the weed. Well, he sort of sized
the boastful one up and made the re-
mark that he had ten-spOt that was
ready for the talkative one If he conld
smoke cigar down to within one inch
Of the end without taking it from his
lips.
THAT was easy for the boaster. He
said so, at any rate, and he produced
his money. l held the stakes, and
the contest was on. The great smoker
lighted his weed, sat down and began
putting, a smile of confidence on his
face. He did very well, too, rolling
out great clouds of smoke, and soon
there was half an inch of ash on the
tip Of his perfecto. But from then on
the smoker was a little uneasy. He
sort of rolled his cigar around between
his lips and his putting came slower.
When he had burned an inch of it he
began to walk up and down the room.
Some one gave him the laugh, and he
started in putting again, but it was
such an effort that felt sorry for
him. He began to have trouble with
his breathing.
'The sweat came out on his fore
head, and when the cigar was half
gone he was in positive agony.
don't know whether it was from ner-
vousness, in not following the usual
custom of removing the cigar from the
lips at stated intervals. or because he
was sickened by the constant volume
Of smoke he had to puff in and blow
out. At any rate he was getting in a
bad way, and a few minutes later, as
white as a sheet, he gave it up. He
tossed the cigar away, nodded that I
might pay the stakes over to the quiet
man, and went out That was the last
boasting he ever did.
ITS an odd fact. but it's true. and
he proved it, that a man can't smoke
cigar and not take it from his lips
until it's all gone. No smoker does it.
He can't. He's simply got to take it
from his mouth occasionally |, OF
course, have heard of men who lighted
cigars and never let them go out and
never took them from between their
lips until the weeds were smoked right
down to the end, but | never saw a
chap who could do the stunt In fact
don't think any one can do it. If
you think it can be done-well, try
it some time, and see how you ge
along"

NEED OF A SAVIOR.

Eev r. ". Rhite.
What men want and what men need
are not always one and the same
thing. A Savior is the tremendous
need OF the world 1t wants philan-
thropists, but it needs a Savior 10
make its aims and doles unnecessary;
it wants reformers to abolish its
'lums, but it needs a Savior to abolish
the slum from its fostering place, the
human heart. Time out of number
The slum is in the man before the man
is in the slum.
Ine world wants hospitals and asy-
lums (and may their number Increase
until no unfortunate cries in vain),
but 1t needs first Of all Savior to
rid it of t3e sin and vice that fill hos
pital and asylum with the victims of
pain, insanity and want.
1t wants and it must have its
prophets Of the better social order, but
it needs, as it reeds nothing else, a
Savior to create the new man, with
out which no higher scheme of things
is workable.
The church may have often carica-
tured its Leader in its lives and
wronged him in its dogmas and phil
osophies, but its heart has been true,
as through all ages it has worshiped
Jesus Hominum Salvador" Jesus, the
Savior of the world.

The seriousness of fire losses in the
United States becomes conspicuous as
one gets down to details. Here Is an
interesting comparison: The revenue
Of the State Of Maine in 1903 was, in
round numbers, two million FIVE hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars; the
damage done by fires in the State dur
ing that year is estimated at FIVE thou
sand dollars more than that sum, with
out taking into account the destruc-
ton by forest fires, which would have
added more than a million dollars on
the wrong side. Doubtless almost any
other State would make quite as bad a
showing; but such figures, whereso-
ever found, are full of suggestion.

PREACHING DOES NOT CONVERT.
~

Preaching is Of minor Importance in
converting men. l am tired of that
vapid old thrust at the modern pulpit
that in the apostles day one sermon
converted 5000 people, and that now
1t takes 5000 sermons to convert one.
Which of the twelve apostles was con-
verted by the preaching of Jesus?
And which of Jesus sermons was in
tended for the specific purpose Of con-
version? OF his recorded discourses,
the sermon on the mount was for in
struction; the discourse in the upper
room was for comfort; the discourse

A Pittsburg steel magnate" now re
siding in New York has recently Gre
ated fund of million dollars for the
purpose of erecting model tenements in
New York. Apparently he desires to
duplicate substantially the splendid
buildings devised and CONTROL d by the
City and Suburban Homes Company
clean, light, airy structures, fitted with
many modern conveniences, where de-
cent people can live in comfort as
cheaply as in an equal number of un-
wholesome rooms in a slum. In prac-
tice the model tenements heretofore
constructed are philanthroplc enter
prise. The tenants pay for what they
get, but they get a great deal more
than other landlords give for the
money. The tenements are business
enterprise also, and yield a profit of 4
per cent on the money invested. Doubt
less the new one will pay as well, and
forty thousand dollars will become
available every year to build more ten
ements. Evidently this is the feature
Of the good-housing question that ap-
peals most forclbly to the man who
gives the million dollars. He does not
need or want the 4 per cent, but he
does intend that his benefaction shall
endure and benefit an eyer-increasing
number. AS business man and as a
philanthropist he might jus'ifably an
ticipate day when, by the natural
law of growth, model tenCments shall
displace the other kind. We speak Of
business and philanthropy in the same
breath. That the association no longer
seems absurd marks distinct gain for
both. 1t is entirely proper that char
ity, even, should be administered on
business principles, and it is right that
a man who is helped to a more CON-
Portable way Of living should aid to ex-
tend the benefit to his neighbor. The
strength Of the model-tenement plan Is
that it recognizes these principles.
Thereby it appeals to many who, like
the Pittsburg man, are able and will
ing to do generous deeds when judg-
ment apprves what generosity sug
gests.
