A few nights'ago a man was seen to pick up in an * Auckland picture theatre a pocket-book which an old man had dropped. It contained £9 and a number of papers. The owner offered a. reward for its recovery, but there was. no response to the advertisement, and the services of the; police were invoked, with the ie,sulVthat Oscar Bull was,,,found to be the man who had pifjked up the book. : jHe was brought before the Court in Auckland charged with staling the book. He owned up to having picked it up, and restored £8 of tho money, but could not produce the book. Accused, who had nothing; elbo against him, was fined £5, and ordered to refund £1 that ,wa,s mussing, and to pay 12s expenses. Unless all signs fail, N.Z. grown leaf is destined"to become famous the world over for its excellent smoking qualities. Like wild-fire has the loei»' product spread over all parts of tho Domiuion, capturing the trade wherever it made its appearance, but it has even spread far beyond the shores of those Islands, and Gold Pouch has become the favourite smoke of many a-soldier at the front. Gold PoucL demonstrates thus clearly, that ■N'-Z. grown leaf possesses certain virtues which make it superior to, the foreign tobacco, and not the least is its small percentage of Nicotine. And <*, this hurt would particularly recommend, it to the smoker who studies his health, because Gold Pouch may be smoked all day without affecting the heart, leaving-the, mouth sweet ami clean. Now obtainable in two strengths, Dark and Aromatic, the former for theheavy smoker. No increase in price. One shilling will buy a big stout bag of; either Gold Pouch or Three Diamonds, j For rolling cigarettes nothing could | possibly excel the N.Z. grown Three Diamonds Tobacco.
