A Terrifying Smoke.

The Mexlcan peon smokes cigaiettes made of the dried leaves of the merrlhuana weed. One of the peculiar et-i sects of merrihuana smoking ia to distort the bigness of all animals, making them. of enormous size and horrible shape. The smoker ia filled with a horrible fear, something like the horrors brought on by delirium tremens. A kitten or a puppy to his distorted vision appears as some terrlhle creature. A common sight In Mexico is to see a swarthy “greaser,” armed to the teeth," flee in terror from a.small dog, while he would fearlessly attack any man with his knife or his New York World.
