Then, one day, when n friend was cull ing, the general remembered the cigars nud brought them out. "I know nothing about cigars," said Itoseerniis, "hut I mil told that these nre very fine."

Then Itoseerniis, noticing that ho was growing pale, ask ed what was the trouble. 'General," said the visitor, "I don't want to be ungrateful, but I'm a fin Id It's this cigar." "Impossible!" exclaimed Itoseerniis. Why, when 1 bought them I was told thnt they were the finest cigars on the market." "Well, general, you were deceived. The cigar tastes and smells exactly as If It wore made of camphor." "Camphor!" stammered Itoseerniis, looking chapfallen. "Why. 1 never thought, but perhaps camphor does In jure a cigar."

Don't groan over the wickedness of the world, but mend your own. Don't boast. The Illiterate nud the self conscious nre thus made manifest. Don't use superlatives.
