He used to puff at a cigarette nnoSi

book called My Lady Nicotine,
which is mostly in praise of nins
or cigar, he has cut out most of thu
cigarettes and is going to tobacco In

Business Cou-tship.

An amusing case was once decided In
certain police court. It appears that
cook, no longer quite young was
courted by tailor somewhat younger
than she. On Sundays and occasional
ly during the week, the gallant lover
was in the habit of taking his lady for
extended promenades and visits TO res
taurants, where the latter always paid
the expenses. She also provided MN
regularly with his supper.
Presently. however, the awful truth
was brought home to the cook that she
was not the only friend on whom the
man of the scissors and the needle Law
ished his affections. Nothing 10th, shs
went to the nearest police court, suins
the faithless one for all the expenses
of the clandestine meals provided by
her. and all the money spent when
walking OUT with him.
The tailor, however, was once again
too much for her. Instead of appearins
before the tribunal as a repentant sin
ner. he came into court with a long
bill in his hand, on which an account
was given of the time lost from nl'
work while going out with his COOK
When the two bills were compared the
difference Of $40 was in favor Of thu
tailor, and the lady was ungaltantl
compelled to pay every penny OF il.
