The label on the box states they sell for 25 cents straight, therefore the husband accepts them without hesitation, and shows his appreciation of the gift in a glowing manner. After filling his pockets with the cigars, he hurries to his business. He enters a car smoking; the passengers immediately leave the car and the conductor becomes insensible. He next enters the lobby of a hotel, and the guests, bell boys. etc. after a severe fit of coughing, hastily exit and the poor clerk is almost choked to death. He meets a friend on the street and friends at the club, and to his surprise and chagrin, he is greeted always with the same reception. At last a friend explains the reason, and fearing to hurt his wife's feelings, he purchases another box of cigars and goes home. Throwing the contents of the box his wife presented him with out of the window, he refills same from the box he purchased. A tramp sunning himself outside the window picks up the cigars, starts to smoke one, becomes sick and throws a brick through the window. His wife hearing the noise, hastily enters the room, discovers her husband is not smoking, picks up the box she thinks contains the cigars purchased by her, and hands him one which he smilingly accepts.
