How Can You Afford Ii.

A business man celebrated the 25th anniversary of his business by giving a high class free en- tertainment costing S150.00. One of his neighbors asked him How can you afford it?" The response was, How many 10-cent cigars do you smoke a day?"
 About six" was the answer. Well, then" said the other, T can give an entertainment like this every year on your cigar money, and have S6900 left to my credit. Perhaps it is more appropriate for me to ask, How can you afford it?"
 And yet we see preachers and Sunday school superintendents whose example should be entire ly safe for any boy to follow, and hear them plead for money with which to carry on the work of the missionary and otherwise -putfing away a nasty old cigar and rolling it as sweet morsel under their tongues, when in fact, it is one of the greatest nerve poisons known, and not one whit of good in it in any way.
 Hadn't you better think on these things, dear brother?
