BUSINESS MAN CAUGHT BEGGING.

Another friend happened to overhear him "touching" the other. "Well," he said, "I never thought to see you standing in the street cadging!" "What could I do" I came out without a cent, so I'm only borrowing 8d for an ounce of Bears' Tobacco loose. It's a delicious smoke—pure Virginian —and if you haven't tried it, try it now!" Also in handy packets, loz 9d, 2oz Is 6d. . ._, - . —3O
