Don’t know arc'the r tobacco that’s so good—or so safe. Try it?” rhe guest lit up, and sinking back into the depths of his luxurious chair lazfiy watched the smoke-rings. “By Jove!” ho said, at last, sitting up, “it is good!” —American ?” ‘‘Esay to see you’re a new chum,” laughed the host, “no, my boy, not American : it’s grown and manufactuied in New Zealand. What d’ye think of that? Brands? There ire five: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bulkhead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Bi warhead Gold and Desert Gold.” Td not the faintest idea New Zealand produced such tobacco,” declared the guest with enthusiasm. “We live and earn,” replied the host as he passed die decanter.—*Advt.
