The Wilson sheep became famous
for their contributions to the Red

are reminded of an incident re-

After lunch he took out his cigar
case. Il don't suppose you object
to smoking here?" he said to the

sir, we do," was the prompt reply.
There's law against smoking in

our friend, "do all the cigar and
cigarette stubs come from that /

don't ask about the law" the monk
replied, mildly.-Boston Transcript
