The long train had come to a halt at a wayside station when an official popped his head into a first-class compartment and barked “put out that pipe. This aint a smoking-kerridge. No smoking allowed there!” “I’m not smoking aloud,” said the offending passenger, “I never do! Wouldn’t think of it.” “Coo—think you’re funny, dontcher?” snorted the official, "but if you keep on breaking the regerlations there’s going to be trouble see?” "Yes. I see perfectly well thank you. Nothing wrong with my eyesight.” The official glared—but suddenly smiled, said “Thank you, sir,” and passed on. By the way the very best baccy for a long railway journey is “toasted," it always smokes cool and sweet. Also you can smoke pipeful after pipeful and never get fed up. Doesn’t burn the tongue or irritate the throat because toasting gets the “bite” clean out of it. The five genuine toasted brands. Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold are simply unapproached for quality and full of comfort
