There were swapping 'mean man stories aboard the Rotorua express the other day. Presently the man in the corner said: "I was travelling from Lyttelton to Wellington, awhile ago. In the smoke room after din ner a well-dressed stranger asketi me for a "fill," I handed him my brand new pouch. Later, feeling inclined for a whiff myself, I ventured to remind this chap that he had not returned my pouch. He had the nerve to tell me lie had given it hack 'long ago.' A barefaced lie, of course. But I couldn't prove it. The pouch was full of New Zealand toasted tobacco. I smoke nothing else. There's no tobacco like Cut Plug No. 10. And a s I couldn't get any on the boat, I had perforce to wait for my next smoke till I got ashore. Doesn't always pay to; be to obliging, does it?" The tobacco mentioned by this passenger is one of the four famous toasted brands, the other three being Riverhead Gold, Cavendish-, and Navy Cut No. 3. 'FLU NEWS FROM ENGL/ AD England 1-"" 1."
