Queer Smokes.

Tobacco" said a tobacconist, is
one of many herbs that are smoked.
In the orient, for instance, bhang, or
cannabs, drug that gives one the
desire to caress peoples feet, goes
into loads of pipes. Some savages
smoke the leaves OF the wild potato
and the wild tomato. These bitter
leaves are narcotic. They throw you
into stupor. Pursued In. though,
they bring on insanity. Some of the
Swiss guides smoke mountain tobac-
CO. weed that grows only at great
heights. This produces an intoxica-
ton akin to alcohol. Our Indians,
when hard up, smoke holly and SUI
mach leaves, and the silvery leaves
of Indian tobacco, which every boy
has chewed."

the LOVER and
THE HUSBAND
BY WINIFRED GRAHAM,

Behold a man and q woman. A
pathway white with the milky pallor
of the moon. Shadows lurking on
every side, mathematical of their two
lives.
Lovers. Oh, yes-or why was her
cheek stained red as the roses sleep
ing within reach Of her fingers, which
were locked in the mans palm? He
tried to speak, but his voice was
choked by emotion. This was their
goodby.
The woman raised her eyes, her lips
and the anguish of parting was for
gotten in the ecstasy Of long en-
brace.
Il shall remember" she whispered
always! You and 1 have been more
than all the world to each other-you
and T."
These three words were repeated in
lingering accents that faltered and
ended in a sigh.
Stay" he answered, passionately.
Life is only an hour; take all that
1t can give while love is in your soul.
Tomorrow the summer may be over,
the flowers will shrivel up and we
shall be old"
And age spells DEATH" murmured
the woman, with shudder.
The man gazed rapturously at the
beauty of her face. How pure it
looked in the pale light! What a
L what n,pnlynruf
Yet, good or evil, he loved her, and
the fragrance of the summer night
was creeping into his very being;
everything spoke of hitherto un-
dreamed possibilities.
why must you go?" he asked
fiercely. you have no tie in New
York! Your home? Bah! What is a
woman's home before she marries?
Stay and be my wife"
The woman withdrew her fingers
and passed them over her brow.
The grass was wet with dew, and
there were drops of agony upon her
forehead
One word broke hoarsely from her
lips: mol"
IF you love me, why in the name
Of"
But she clasped her hands, entreat-
ing silence.
Ask no explanations. Would that
| had never come here to lose my soul
in yours. l return tomorrow; it is
inevitable-I have two things to seek.
Heaven only knows if l shall find
them"
"What?" he questioned.
Rest and repentance!"
AS she spoke she broke away,
rushed wildly on till the shadows hid
her white-gowned figure and she was
lost in mystery
The following day she departed and
the man saw her no more
He only treasured a few parched
rose leaves and her address in New
York city.
But the fire of love burned still in
his soul, and at last re wrote to the
woman who had said NO"
Il must follow you'-he penned the
lines feverishly-"to your home, dear
est, and plead again for the love you
once gave and afterward denied. Re-
member your own words: We have
been all the world to each other-you

A woman was lying dead with
roses white and yellow in her hands
She was beautiful in death as in life
She had found what she sought
rest and repentance.
Beside her still image sat her hus-
band, his head bent and one hand
stretched across his face, hiding the
awful expression thereon. But the
veins on that sinewy hand seemed
bursting through tle flesh, while his
parted lips were dry and bloodless
Between his trembling fingers he
held a letter, addressed to his dead
wife in her maiden name. He had
only just opened it.
The mornings mail made the cold
form of marble beauty horrible in his
eyes. Vengeance was turning his soul
to gall, mingled with the intense jeal-
ousy of the bereaved.
"He shall follow her to her home"
he muttered, crumpling her lovers let
ter with suppressed passion.
Then he wrote the telegram:
Come"
