Show It Has Happened Before. As his relatives and friends are aware, George Wharton Pepper is a nonsmoker. Not long ago Mr. Pepper was about to entertain some distinguished guests whom he delighted to honor. His first move in the direction of their entertainment was to procure and send to the lidiise some particularly particu-larly choice Havana cigars, which "set him hack" to the tune of 50 cents each. But it seems the cigars arrived before it was made known at home that the guests were expected. That evening Mrs. Pepper said to her husband: "Some cigars came for you today evidently a gift from some one. Knowing you didn't smoke, I gave them to men who were working in the house."
