The natural time for a smoke is when one most enjoys it. “Nine men out of ten will agree that moment is when the stomach \ is full, The after-dinner cigar is natural and pleasant. It is also least harmful. Moet brain-workers take a light breakfast. Tho stomach gets merely a promise, which is encouraged at luncheon and not fulfilled until dinner. The after-breakfast smoke is practically upon an empty stomach. *, For many men sioking during the forenoon is mainly habit of ‘hand and liv. It brings little real satisfaction.

No, @—RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN. TWENTY-ONE-YEAR-OLD Irish Ind, deep in debt and with no immediate chance of earning a living, fell in love in 1773 with Betty Linley, a sixteen-year-old concert prima donna. It was not bis first love affair, nor was it his last. But it is notable, be- cause it led to his marrying the same girl twice and fighting two successive duels with the same man. The young hero of these double explofts wae Richard Brinsley Sheridan, wittiest man in England and destined ous ds to win fame es a statesman and es author of “The Rivals” and “Schoo! for Seandal.” Sheridan learned that Capt. Matthews, a notorious man-about-town, was planning to kidnap Betty Linley. Instead of thrashing Matthews or going with the etory to the young lady's father or adopting any of @ half dozen sane courses Sheridan told Betty of the plot edd arranged to carry her across to France, there to hide her in @ convent, where she would be eafe from Matthews's persecutions. The young couple accordingly eleped to the Continent. On the way an idea even more romantic than the eonvent Olan occurred to Sheridan. He suggested that he and Betty secretly marry They did #0, Her father followed them and drought hie daughter back Wome, turning the youthful bridegroom adrift. Sheridan also came back to England. There, though he wan no fire-cater, he got drunk enough to give him courage to fight a duel with Matthews. No one was hurt. A second sword duel followed, which ended ia pummeiling match and rough-and-tumbie scuffle, sheri- dan was helped from the fleid of hon ently wound- 4 and a good deal knocked about. The affair the scandal of the hour, but it did not soft heart toward the bridegroom. And Sheridan could only get a word with his sixteen-year-oh wife now and then by disguising himself as @ cabman or & | liveried servant and haunting the doorways of houses where she was @ guest It was not until a whole year of thie sort of thing had gone on that Linley relented, when he gave his consent and Sheridan and Retty were married o second time—on this occasion publicly. Then began @ married life which lasted nineteen years, and during which Betty was not always happy. Not only was Sherkian forever in need of roady y and in danger of atrest for debt, but his wit and good lo won bim les of many beautiful women.
