As the London to Brighton express was tearing along at GO miles an hour someone pulled the communication cord and tho train stopped. Hurrying to the second-class carriage indicated the guard found it contained only two passengers, a middle-aged woman and a man smoking a pipe. “What's wrong here?” sharply demanded tho guard. Pointing indignantly to her fellow-pas-senger the womau said: “This man insists on smoking and J. object.” “Well,” replied the guard, “it’s a smoking carriage. “I'll have to take your name and address ma'am. Stopping an express train without sufficient cause is a serious matter. .Shouldn't wonder you’ll find it’le come expensive.' It did! One never hears of a train being stopped in New Zealand under similar circumstances. But then most men in this country smoke toasted tobacco and not even the most faddy person can object to that it’s so pure, sweet and fragrant. Harmless, too — it’s toasted —with the result that the nicotine it contains is eliminated! Only four brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. iO (Bullskcad), and Rivcrlicad Gold.
