"‘A new chum,” thought the tobacconist; “plenty of side on. too!” Then to the stranger: “What kind of tobacco d’ye want, mistermedium or full?” “Medium! Meedium!” replied- -the customer impatiently, “but no rubbish, mind! I’m a connoisseur. Here—let’s have an ounce to try out. If it’s right, I’ll come again.” He blew in again next day. “That imported tobacco I had yesterday—don’t know what, it was, but I’ll take a pound.” “Certainly,” said the tobacconist, “but that wasn’t imported; that was New Zealand tobacco. Navy Cut No. 3.” Go on!” said Mr. Newchum incredulously. “Yes, grown and manufactured in the Dominion,” continued the weed merchant; “toasted, too. That means practically harmless. Cuts out nicotine. Oh! five brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullsbead), Riverhead Gold, and Desert Gold.” “Well, if it’s not imported it’s every bit as good,” commented the customer. “Some of my ‘regulars’ ■ says it’s better,” replied the tobaccoi nlst, “You live and learn, don’t you?”
