NOT HIS JOB The sergeant was drilling a batch of recruits, and saw that one of them was marching out of step. The sergeant, being one of the sarcastic sort, went up to the man and said: "Do you know they are all out of step except you?" "What?" asked the recruit innocently. "I said they are all out of step except you," repeated the sergeant, thoroughly angry now. "Well," was the retort, "I can't do anything about it. It's your job to tell them—you're in charge."
You may buy a box of matches for a copper, but sometimes. you'd give more than that for it—if you get it. The other day an Auckland hiker tramped, all on his lonesome, to the wilds of the Waitakeres. Presently he sat down on a fallen blueigum, and hungry for a smoke, pulli cd out pipe and pouch, only to discover he had no matches! "And so I the poor dog had none!" By the | way, the best 'baccy when hiking 1 is "toasted," because, you see, you can smoke pipe after pipe of it without feeling "fed up," as you do with so many brands if you smoke them at all freely. You may get a sore tongue, or find your throat bothering you, or get "nervy." But toasted never makes your tongue sore, never irritates your throat, never gets your nerves' on edge. There are only five brands of the real toasted: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Biverhead Gold and Desert Gold. Bemember that when you buy. No good wasting your money on imitations.
