lieve I'll I • 1111II. jlisl as all eye-opener
for vim It is a great thing to gel our
eyes open so we can see thing's as
I hey really lire.
I believe, though $1,0011 is enough
mom v to burn in one day, r.n I will
save litis lop dollar foi stood and burn
the other thousand. Now, watch il
burn (Striking mulch, Mr. Ivy sel
lie,' in a batch of paper hills and let
il slow II burn before the aslonlsheil
youngsters.) Now, I wonder what
yi,il little folks think of a fellow Wild
burns a thousand dollars that way.
line lit Me girl unswerod very prompt-
ly, "I iiiink your ure crti/.y." I guess
miiiic of vim are thinking life snnio
tiling So. to keep up my reputation
for bi ini Sine and sober I will have
ti, till you Unit the money I burned
was onlv business college money. Tire
only real money in Hint package was
the one dollar bill I saved for seed,
ii Hi I I will .sure enough be crazy when
I go to burning real money thai way.
and the other fellow will lie doing a
erazv thing, too, when he burns good
money, whether he Is altogether crazy
or tied.
Now I hope I have opened your eyes
to the fad tluil il Is a crazy thing to
burn moiiev Lei mo loll you about a
money-burning boy named .P.hnnlo
Jones who com nielloed lo smoke
cigarettes when lie was lilJcen years
old and kept smoking till he wus
six I yi'i ve. smoking tit'lv years. Suppose
Ids smoking material cost him on aver-
age la cents a day. Tluil would be
$ Si; Mi a year buriieil up for smoking
dope. What ii crazy thing to linrn up
good money for such trashy stuff.
I hat ".soils your breath and soils yoilf
clot tics and makes a smoke-slack of
your nose."
Kill there was another boy. Jilumtc
Smith. .Ilininic's aunt gave him a dollar
for Christinas, nlid Inslenil of burning
it in cigarettes like Johnnie Jones, he
loaned it mil at to per colli compound
Interest for fifty years. Tho uoxl
Christinas .linimio got another dollar
and loaned ii out for yours, the
next another, uml loaned il out for <IK
years, and so'on a dollar every year
for fifty years. That $."io loaned in
thai way at Ul per cent compound
Interest amounts, principal, and In-
terest in tho fifty years, to $1,1.'*"
\stiinlshlng as II seems, any of y ou can
figure it out some rainy day and prove
II. Now, the application. Suppose
Johnnie Jones had loaned out his
$8ii.,"i0 smoking money in the sumo
way instead of burning it in I he crazv
w.iy In did. Ii would have amounted
to thirty-six and a half limes $1,2*0.
which is over $lti,oo(i. You agreed. I
be I to vi , t hat II is a crazy thing to burn
a thousand dollars. If so, il Is forty
times as crazy to burn $1(1.000. And
it is just as crazy n thing for a boy to
become n slave to tho smoking habit
which lie knows will make him burn
his good money by tho thousands dur-
ing a lifetime.
Hut tunning tho money is not the
craziest thing about cigarettes. Hoys
burn up their business chances to earn
money l^ t me toll you about another
boy, Hlllle I trow n. IlllUe was a bright,
handsome fellow. The girls thought
he wus "Just too nice to kill." One
iluy Hlllle noticed ill tho paper all ad-
vertisement that said Col. Illg Business
Wanted a bright boy to help liltn 111 his
stole Hlllle decided on the spot to
apply for the Job. So. next morning,
bright alld earlv, "diked out 111 Ills
best bib and tucker." Hlllle inarched
oft to see Col. Business and secure
that nice Job. But, thoughtlessly.
Hillle Ii ii • I just ooniniencod lo smoke
iiK.ircltos, only ofle in a while, and
with out thinking about It. he lighted
n cigarette and wont inarching up to
Col Business' office. Looking out
through the glass door. Col. Business
saw him coining, admired his hand
. no uppi ir,• lien, but saw the
cigarette ||i shook Ilia head, ami.
hanging mi the outside I lie sign, which
sahl. "No cigaiiitc smokers wanted "
Col. IIiisIiiohs burred the door uml
turned away. Itillic walked up, round
I he door boiled against him and the
I sign "no Clgurctli smokers wauled"
slating liiiil III the face, and lie knew
Hull the cigul'iilc had lost liltn the
j place I'lllic learned the lesson allcr
lie had lost t he Job.
Hoys, suppose you learn Ihll! lesson
before vim lose I lie job. Ciil. Business
• lid Jusl what employers of boys lire
doing ill over \mem a loday closing
l ho 11 in 11' mi the cigul'iilc smoking
| boys. They have learned tluil tho
cigaretle smoking boys, us a rule, are
not as truthful, mil as dependable,
mil as holiest, and are playing shy of
I hem. By smoking a cigarette today a
young man, in effect, closes the door
of opportunity in his own face.
This lesson is a legitimate part of a
young man's business educalion today,
and I sum II up for them in tills
striking karning: "To the young man
ami I lie kitchen slovc, (hint smoke,
If you waul lo be wanted in the best
places." A smoking stove will be
, tolerated by no wise housekeeper who
Jean afford a good non smoking slovc
I Likewise smoking young men lodny
lire objected lo in the best places,
where they can pay I ho price uf tnori
efficient non-smokers.
I Kill tlure Is cruzlcr thing still about
lliln smoking ha bit, and that is the
smoker actually burns up his consti-
tution while lie is burning up Ills
money and Ills business nppoiiunilics.
,Tobacco lias in II a stupefying poison.
, WiuiJ Is I ho name boys? "Nicotine."
Yes, nicotine. You have heard about
• "old Nick," too, liuvcnl you? Well.
I ti I col i 11 • ■ In I ol hi'in Is (lid Nick's poison
j with which lie is trying Id do IIP boys
loday. W'lnil d ies nicotine do for the
smoker? Science bus proven that II
Injures the lung: and injures the liearl
find Injures the nervous system beyond
repair. Cigarettes have proved lo he
so deadly thai doctors call litem "little
while coffin llail. " The suggestion ill
the name is. thai boys by smoking
cigarettes drive nails in lluir own
coffin while they are alive. Hoys,
lot's not lie lu a hurry about making
our coffins in l litil way
Now. lo keep you from forgetting
about il, I will tell you about the
brass monkey that smoked. A tobacco
dealer, to attract attention to lib shop
got a brass monkey that would smoke,
mid set him in front of Ids store, lie
'Would wind I lie brass monkey up Willi
clock like mctiinnism and put a light-
ed cigarette In his mouth, and the
monkey would draw in the smoke uml
t urn his head and blow it out Jusl
like any ol her smoking monkey . Thai
brass monkey, they say, was the rage
of the little town. It would not be
any show at all In my town, where so
many two-legged monkeys are putting
up that show on the streets. But In
the little town il was a sensation, they
say. All I ho boys and girls, when they
had lo go lo town foi mnnin, would
go down the street the Iirnss monkey
was on lo watch him smoke. I'.ut after
a little, the brass monkey refused In
smoke any more and the man opened
him up to see what was the matter.
What do you think he found? He
found that In smoking the monkey
hud sucked 111 the burnt paper altd
ashes from the cigarettes until the
little springs and wheels were clogged
up till I hoy would not work. Now, If
smoking cigarettes will so demoralize
the Internals of a brass monkey, what
will they do for a boy that is not built
of brass Internally? They will do
up a living boy still worse. All over
the Innd ure little, short grnvos that
would have boon longer, if the boys
had not thoughtlessly formed the
smoking habit, that made their coffins
before lime.
You little folks all scent to have
good oyVs, and you think you see me.
Inn von don't. You Just see the
house Hint I live In. The real person
Is Invisible, and these bodies arc Just
the houses wo live in. Hod gave us
