"Why don't you smoke, Joslin?" ask ed the host. "I will when the clock strikes 12." "Why at 12?" "I will explain, if you will permit me, by telling a story: Several years ago I fell in love with and wooed a young lady whose father was a crank, lie had a nuniler of fads which be inflicted mercilessly on others and a number of antipathies which he would not permit others to indict upon him. His chief dislike was tobacco in any form. "Now, from njy youth up I have been a great smoker. At ten years of age 1 iHiught miniature cigars or ciga ritos aud smoked them, not because 1 thought It a fine thing to do, but be cause I enjoyed them. "Well, my devotion to the young lady I have referred to met with a favor able response, and I was accepted. She gave me to understand, however, that she had no fortune except what her father might give her or leave her in his will, and it would be impossible for her to marry uii; without his consent. There would be no difficulty in ob taining it, and he had promised when she married to settle a third of his property r.iion her. All we had to do was to humor him until after the settle ment, which would occur simultaneous ly with the marriage. 'I passed six months of torture. I listened to Ihe old man's stale jokes, rode out with him in summer under furs and in winter with not even a lap robe. I enjoyed music which he de tested, so I heard none. I liked to go to the theater, but as he condemned theaters mid actors I did not dare show my face in a playhouse. Hut the crown of deprivations was the giving up of smoking. My fiancee informed tne on the first day of our engagement that to smoke in her father's presence would be like shaking a red rag before a mad bull. To show her how much I loved her I agreed not to smoke till after the wedding. This she commended highly, anil I took the tirst opportunity to in form her father that I did not smoke. "The time spent without my beloved cigars was maddening. Nevertheless I refrained, tuid when my wedding day came I was as free from nicotine as a i taby. When 1 awoke on that mo mentous day I admit my chief joy was not that I was going to be married, though I loved my fiancee desperately, but that as soon as the settlements were made, the marriage ceremony over and we were driving to the sta tion I would light a cigar. To this my bride to lie had assented. "We were to be married at 12 noon in presence only of the family. The eccen tric father hail a horror of large wed dings and would consent only to a pri vate one. 1 went to my room at 10 o'clock to dress. My toilet was com pleted in half an hour, and I had noth ing to do till 11 :. I had bought a box of the best cigars I could find, and they were on my mantel. I took out a num ber to put in my satchel and momenta rlly held them under my nose. "Gentlemen, ihe fragrance of those cigars was irresistible, delicate, deli cious, intoxicating. 'Why not?' I said. I have an hour here alone. At the end of that hour the settlements will be made. What risk is there in my smoking here alone? I bit off the end of the cigar, scratched a match and lighted it. Then I threw myself into the arms of an easy chair aud the arms of delight at the same time. "I finished the cigar at 11:20 and hur ried away, reaching the house iu twen ty minutes. My father-in-law to be culled me into his study to explain some points to be attended to iu the settlements. "The amount.' he said, 'that I give my daughter is four hundred thou sand" lie stopped short and sniffed the air. 'Who's been smoking in this room ':' "l was terror stricken, but. control ling myself. I locked sympathetic. H went about poking his nose here and there till, coming very near me, he took up my arm and smelled of my sleeve. "'What's this?" he exclaimed. 'I thought you told me you didn't smoke.' "I tried to stammer an explanation, but broke down. ''IS ro IIIV ltl IItIiIAK ..... ..i.tr '. iiiiiiuii i 11 .1 iiitiii n mi has tlie vilest habit known to man not gvKl enough for beasts, not one of whom smokes 1 Not I. "I argued that the preparations had gone loo far io retreat. " It is never too late t retreat from ;V. bad bargain. The marriage shall not take place, or. if it does, my daugh ter suall !ro to von penniless." "As -i (on as my tiam-ee and her moth er received the startling news they be gan a desperate effort with the irate man lo induce him to give way. For their sakes he finally agreed to do so on my promise never again to touch lobacco in any form. This was finally a mended to extend only one year after his death." "He died a year ago today?" "Oim year ago tomorrow. He was walking in a new building he was erecting and fell through an elevator) shaft." "Were you in the building at tb? time?" asked the host with mock grav ity. "Your question not only in very bad taste, but unkind. However, I am happy at being able to allay your sti? pinions by assuring you that I was miles away." The clock began to strike 12, and Mr. Joelia lit his cigar. ALBERT HUNT TAILER. MR, JUSTICE FINNEH Judge of the Natal Supreme Court, Sends the Following Remarkable Testimonial TO CUTIGURA The World Is Cuticura's Field, Used Wherever Civilization Has Penetrated. f " I desire to give my voluntary testi mony to the beneficial effects of your Cuticnra Remedies. I Lave suffered for some time from an excess of uric acid in the blood ; and since the middle of last year, from a severe attack of Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears and neck and on one limb. I was for several mouths under professional treatments, but the remedies prescribed were. of no avail, and I was gradually becoming worse, my face was dread fully disfigured and I lost nearly all my hair. At last, my wife prevailed upon me to try the Cuticnra Remedies and I gave them a thorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease soon began to disappear and my hair commenced to grow again. A fresh growth of hair is covering my head, and my limb (although not yet quite cured) is gradually improving. My wife thinks so highly of your remedies that she has been purchasing them in order to make presents to other persqus suf fering from similar complaints, and, as President of the Bible Women's Society, has told th Bible women to report if any case should come under their notice when a poor person Is so afflicted, so that your remedies may be resorted to.
