A policeman who separated two men who were lighting on Lamb ton Quay, Wellington, fate the other Saturday night, asked what the trouble was about. Said one of the combatants, pointing to the other: ‘‘l shouted a pic and a cup er corfce. for him, 'cause he. said he was stoney and starving, and the. blighter goes and tries to pinch my ’bacca —slipped his hand in me pocket, he did, and if I adn’t. watched out he’d have got away with it. And j its the goods, mind you—National Plug —Noo Zealand—l’d only just bought it and if this here bloke had lifted it, I’d a— been left all day Sunday without a smoke. So I give him what for.” Combatant No. 2 had nothing do say. He was nursing a. black eye. Robert smiled. ‘‘Go home, both of you,” lie said, and the pair jaromptly faded out. “A mean trick,” mused Robert, as he resumed his beat, ‘ ‘ but I suppose the temptation was too much for him.” Other brands of the same manufacturers are ‘‘Eiverhcad Gold,” ‘‘Cavendish,” ‘‘Navy Cut No. 3, ” and ‘‘Cut Plug No. 10.”* PERSONAL. If you are one of those women who sutler from those periodical cirumps and pains peculiar to women, get a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy at once. it insures you against the usual agony, discomfort, and ‘loss of poise. If you feed an attack approaching, just take a few drops in sweetened water and secure immediate relief. Sold everywhere. — Advt.
