The Pipe And The Man.


A New York man, whose wife
asked him how many pipes he smok-
ed day, tried to work up the an
swer in detail, but, after struggle,
abandoned the attempt at exactness
and answered Hundreds" At this
the lady gave a sniff and left the
room.
The question, as it was put, prob
ably had such an emphasis that a
particular man was clearly indicated.
Anyway, it Is certain that all men
do not smoke the same number OF
pipes, and so a hint is given Of the
reason in the actions OF the particu-
lar wife. Apparently she is not
reconciled to the habit Of smoking.
and is inclined to try the efficacy OF
nag-that is, of remonstrance. But
she is dealing with selfish wretch
who can outlast her in contest at
not looking Cor speaking) pleasant.
The partnership. however, does
not always work out this way. 1t
presents, in fact, a great variety Of
possibilities. Some women do not
nag-that is, remonstrate-some re-
monstrate occasionally. and some
demonstrate all the time Some smok-
ers smoke once after each meal.
some double the allowance, and
some smoke all the time. except
when they are rudely interrupted by
the necessity for eating and sleeping

Au contraire, our statesmen are
