On this condition only would she accept him as her future husband. Despite his longing for tobacco, Smith carried out his resolution much to the amusement of his former pals, who decided to play a little joke on him. On the day of his wedding they sent him a cigar containing an explosive, which they told him was "No-to-bac" and by smoking it he would lose the taste for tobacco forever. Still hankering for tobacco and more than anxious to lose the taste, Smith lit the "No-to-bac," which promptly exploded, singeing his mustache and eyebrows; his face is now a comical sight to behold, on the eve of his wedding too. He loses considerable time, being obliged to go to the barber's to have his physiognomy put in shape again. Mr. Jones, who closely resembles Mr. Smith, is passing the house where the non-appearance of the groom has created much excitement among the family who have gathered to witness the marriage. They seize Jones, believing him to be Smith, rush him into the house, and proceed with the ceremony. Jones madly protests and finally manages to telephone his wife to come to his aid. Smith then appears with a clean shave and is not recognized and matters become more complicated. At this point Jones' wife arrives and a laughable scene follows. After much hubbub, matters are straightened out to the satisfaction of all concerned. Mrs. Jonea departs with her husband while the belated Smith and his tear-stained Miss Brown take their positions under the wedding bell as the marriage ceremony begins.
