One day Mark ; Twain was in a billiard saloon, when a particularly unprepossessing - looking man approached him, and asked him to play a game. The humorist consented, and they began in earnest.. "I'll be perfectly fair with you," said the stranger. "I'll play you left-hand-ed." "I felt hurt," -says Mark Twain when he tells the story, "for he was cross-eyed, freckled, and had red hair, so I determined to .teach him a- lesson for his audacity. He won first shot, and ran clean' out, taking my half dollar, and all I got was the opportunity to chalk my cue." The wonderful play of- his opponent so astonished Mark that he exclaimed, "By jove, if you can play like that with your left hand I'd Jike to see you play with -your right." "I can't," replied the stranger as he sidled out of the room; "you see, I'm left-handed." iwirwialimmi-— -i-nnrnrnr iniwriiiii'm-ff—n — at •• "~T""if

It is Not Easy to get Good Coffee Unless you know enough to ask for " Club " Coffee. It took us years, for instance, to get into touch with the planners ■who grow the' iextra largp, fat, flne-quality beans from which "Club" Coffee is made, It . also took years to perfect our splendid manufacturing process. These are factors you don't get in ordinary coffee, -but -when in addition you consider the expert blending, the uniform quality, • the careful packing into air-ti(?ht canisters, you have a combination that makes ■ •' ■■"fil-UR"- HnfTppW Isa %& b^ ' \Jr*J |iUV New Zealand s Premier Blend. Try it once and you will never be satisfied with any other. You may forgot the steik, chops, or toast, but you will never forget the satisfying deliciousness of your breakfast cup of "Club" Coffee. Any Grocer in N.Z. can ,-upply you with " Club " Coffee if you insist.
