As to t the pleasure of , telling your

But if you must do a little smug
gling, buy cigars. The Mexican weeds
are good and leally cheap. Very large
ones of tine ilavor can be had for $.Zo
a hundred, and if you "break the box"
by taking out three or four, the dealer
will inform you, there will be no duty
to pay. Then, by coiu-ealing the box

you may have, the pleasure, of "risking
