on the bleachers or in any public place
does not concern himself as to where
his cigar ashes fall or into whose face

cigarette and that is enough Even
the presence of women does not now
often restrain the young man or the
old whenever he feels like smoking. ]
have always felt that it was the crud-
est exhibition Of bad manners for
| young fellows at either a formal or
an informal dance to smoke in the
presence of the young women, and
the strongest evidence possible of
their enslavement by the habit. A
young woman to whom was talking
only few days ago said she thought
it was an evidence of vulgar and in
adequate home training, but not every
body would go quite so far as that.
1t is an expensive habit, and in
these days when economy is neces-
sary, we might very well make a be-
ginning on tobacco. Most men claim
that their smoking is an innocent
pleasure which does not cost them
much, but these men have not kept a
regular account.
It is a useless habit. Tobacco now
is not considered panacea for any
thing. 1t will not cure heartburn, it
will not whiten the teeth, it has NO
palliative effect on snake bites or
rheumatism. It's use simply gives
pleasure at the expense of nervous
force and efficiency.
1t must be admitted chat to many
people the use Of tobacco is not posi-
lively harmful The man of strong
nerves and sturdy physique usually
feels little detrimental effect from
smoking or even chewing. We are
always being confronted with the ex-
ample of men who have used tobacco
since birth, and yet who have lived
with all their faculties intact to the age
of ninety or hundred. There is of
course, no telling how much longer
such men would have lived had they

There is no lodging the fact, how
ever, that to the young growing boy
under twenty, tobacco is always harm
full. 1t stunts and stupefies his in
tellect, and it retards his physical de-
velopment. 1t weakens resistance to
disease, and it lessons the desire and
the ability to work. 1t breaks down
the nervous system and leads to youth
full immoralitieS.
A few years ago was in charge Of
a grammar school of several hundred
boys. Ninety-fve per cent of them
used tobacco. Not one of these boys
ever entered the high school.

Mr.. Atkinson became aware of a

and then the stairs seemed to rise up
and hit him. He finally came to rest
in the hall against an old oak chest Of
the pointed-coTner type, and for mo-
ment or two he lay there dazed. Then
he scrambled to his feet to find three
young men, who had emerged from
lower room during his flight, gazing at
him impassively; while standing at the
top of the stairs down which he had
just descended and outlined against a
window was the huge, motionless fig
ure of Drummond Half cursing half
sobbing, he staggered to the front door

door behind him and staggered into the
sunlit street.

THE SMOKING HABIT
Ry THoMAs ARKLE CLARK

TMET Clayton the other night at the
= club, and his offering me cigar led
us naturally to the subject of smok-
ing. Clayton is young business man
who carries heavy responsibilities.
He admitted that he was smoking
too much, and this admission would
have been wholly unnecessary to one
who had noted his color and watched
his nervous, uncontrolled manner. He
was never still, never without heavy
black cigar in his mouth. He had come
to rely upon the stimulus that tobacco
gave him as one takes his meals three
times day to nourish his body or to
appease hunger.
The expense was no small item,
either. He never smoked less than
twenty cigars day, he told me, and
they cost him fifteen dollars a hun
dred. That is more than thousand
dollars year going up in smoke, not
to speak of the physical and nervous
waste that result from the habit, and
Clayton is by no means a man who
can afford to waste either his money
or his energies. He was fully con-
WINGED that smoking did him no good,
but that on the contrary it was doing
him harm, but he had no idea Of quit
ting the practice.
spoke, a few evenings ago, before
woman's club to which men had been
invited. During the dinner the men
were cheerful and apparently happy !;
they took their food with relish and
interest. AS soon as the last course
had been finished, however, they were
nervous, restless, i'll at ease; they
played with the cutlery and shifted
their chairs about uneasily. 1 knew
what was the matter, and so, soon,
did the hostess, also-she was mar
ried

man next to her, and in five minutes
they were all pulling away at their
cigars, from which even for half
hour, they could not endure to be sep

me lot of pleasure"
l have never looked upon smoking
as in any large degree introducing a
moral issue. 1t was never one of the
habits barred or rallied against IN our
household. Most of the men in my
country neighborhood smoked, and
many of the older women whom l
knew liked their pipe. 1t is purely from
observation and experience that I
have arrived at my conclusions and
not from any teaching which 1 have
received.
Smoking is a selfish habit. The
smoker in public pays little attention
as to whether or not he is annoying

diabolical in its fury.
"You shall pay for that, Captain
Drummond. stroke by stroke, and lash

Drummond laughed shortly.

marked. "Tell old Longmoor with
my love" He paused and grinned.

prevalent amongst his pals as well.
Must you go? Straight down the
stairs, and the card tray in the hall

With great effort Mr.. Atkinson
pulled himself together.

quietly. II can assure you, of course,
that you have made terrible mistake
in thinking that it was / who threw

"At me? Drummond laughed short

In Which Hugh Drummond
and the Reverend Theo-

"Come up, boys" laughed Hugh.
'The fog of war is lifting slowly"
He led the way back into the study,
and the other three followed him.
"That object, Ted, you will be

"The devil it was" cried Jerning-
ham, 81 hope you gave him something
for me. Incidentally, how did he run

OF course, they're mixed up with that

nuisance of it is that by putting two

They also think I've got those dia-
monds: hence the visit of the bunch

In fact, things are becoming clearer
all the way round. Hulloi

and was now staring fxedly at the
lock.

Forced since this morning. They've
been over this desk while I've been
out. Push the bell, Ted"
They waited in silence till Denny
appeared In answer to the ring.
Someone has been In this room,
Denny" said Drummond. Someone
has forced this desk since half-past
eleven this morning"
There's been no one In the house,
SIR" answered Denny, except the man
who. came about the electric light"
Electric grandmother" snapped his
master. "You paralytic idiot, why did
you leave him aloner'
"Well, sir, Mrs. Drummond was in
the house at the time-and the servants
were all round the place." Denny
looked and felt aggrieved, and after a
while Drummond smiled.
What sort Of man was it, you old
fathead"
"a very respectable sort of man." re-
turned Denny with dignity. 'I re-
marked to Mrs. Denny how respectable
he was, sir. Why, he actually went
some distance down the street to call
taxi for Mrs. Drummond to go to the
Ritz. :"
His words died away, as he stared
in amazement at the expression on his
masters face.
"What the devil is it. HughY cried
Ted birmingham.
"He called taxi, you sayT' NUT

Eyes, SIR answered Denny. HE
was leaving the house at the same
time, and as there was none in sight
he said he'd send one along at once"
Sand Mrs. Drummond went in the
taxi he sent?''
Certainly, sir" said Denny in sur
prise. "To the Ritz. to join you. 7

The veins were standing out 90
Drummond's forehead, and for mo,
ment it seemed as If he was going tc
hit his servant. Then with an effort
he controlled himself, and sank hack in
his chair with a groan.
