No Loss Without Some Gain.

“Doctah, are cigarettes injurious?” asked a dudelet of a gruff old doctor. “To whom, the smoker or the community, sir?” ~ “I don’t—ah—see the distinction.” “Yon don’t! Well, so long as they are smoked only by such, effeminate whippersnappers as yourself, while they may be suicidal to the smoker, perhaps it may be an open question whether they are injurious to the commqnitv at large. ” : “Um—ah! Good-day, Doctah.”— Chicago Ledger. Closing words—“ Shut up.”
