Hyram K, Bangs, of Bang’s Five Cent Novelty Store ou Congress Avenue, Chicago, has been telling a reporter since his return to the Land of the Free (?) that before he visited New Zealand in the fall of last year to '■‘iko the baths at “Rotorua,” he knew so little about Maoriland that ho asked a travelled friend whether any worth-while tobacco was obtainable here. The friend snickered: “I’ll say there is,” he replied, “and I want to tell you right here that it’s some weed. They toast it, so that it tastes as good as it smells, and it’s so free from nicotine—being toasted —that it oaint hurt you worth a dime if you smoko it all day and all night too.” Mr. Bangs found it was a true bill, and says ho estimates that New Zealand “produces” the only “juiceless” tobacco on this planet. “Yes Sir.” He might have added that there are only four brands of the genuine toasted — Riverhead Gold, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshoad).
