Lost in the Avoids of Dartmoor in a blinding snoAvstorm, the landscape blotted out, darkness falling; no help near. Such Avas the plight of a tourist visiting England last Avinter. x He couldn’t see, but stumbled blindly on, unitl he reached the scant shelter afforded by an overhanging rock, and sank exhausted to the ground. Presently he fumbled for his pipe and lighted it Avith difficulty; his matches Avere damp. When rescued, hours later, by the search party, and revived, he spoke of the comfort that smoke had been Avhen hope had fled. Tobacco can be a vejry pleasant help in time of stress. That has been proved “many a time and oft” by New Zealanders Avho can testify from personal experience to the virtues of the AVeed, and the solace they have derived Avhen in trouble, from our splendid National tobaccos, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, NaA;y \Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), s ßiverhead Gold and Desert Gold, so soothing, comforting, and (because toasted) so comparatively innocuous. When suffering from “the slings and arroAvs of outrageous fortune,” try toasted! —Advt.
The tavern door agape invites Avithin, Where crimson Avine awaits in jar. and skin. Some of a*surly Tapster grievance tell, Daubing his visage with the smoke, of hell. With one beloved at twilight ’neath the bough, A brimming bowl makes Paradise enow. If but for vesper chills Ave aid assure, With precious Woods’ Great Peppermint 'Cure. 24.
