Finally he repented, and at the earnest
solicitation of Miss Mary he consented
to undergo christening. Then q new
difficulty arose. He said his name
from henceforth should be Mary B.

TOBACCO "SPONGERS."
How Some Chewers Work Their Cheek Tor
n Free stOuid.n


"a plug of - tobacco" said q
young man the other evening, as he
walked into cigar store and laid down
q dime.
A reporter was standing near the
counter and overheard the call, which
was for a certain brand. Knowing
that the customer was employed in one
of the large factories in the city, hav-
ing met him while at work, he ex-
pressed surprise that he should have to
buy his tobacco.
''Well, replied the tobacco employe,
81 oughtn't to have to buy any as the
men working in my department are ex-
pected to take what they want for their
daily use. They don't have instruc-
tons to do so, but no objection is made
when they do. But, would you believe
1t, lots and lots of times l get up in the
morning without a chew in my pocket,
and often. as tonight, ] have to go out
and buy plug after supper. Here's
how it is: come out of the factory, and
before get half square away hear
something like this:
"'Hello, Charlie; got any tobacco?'
81 don't like to be mean, and although
I only know the fellow as one who
'sponges' all the chewing tobacco he
can, hand out my plug; others of the
men do the same thing, and when that
fellow gets through he probably has a
days supply. Well, don't go far un-
til another sponge stops me, and this
goes on until, when I have run the
gauntlet l must turn TO and buy to-
bacco for my own use. I'm just about
getting tired of the SPONGE and ]
think we'll inaugurate a boycott on
him. If he were an acquaintance IT
would be different, or if he were hard
up for chew it would be excusable,
but have known lots of cases where
the 'sponger' had plug in his pocket
when he came up to me.
''There is no excuse for us to have to
buy tobacco at any time. In my de-
partment we can always lay in days
supply. Then in all departments we
are given a pound of finished plug a
week. This goes to the foremen of the
various departments for distribution,
and for this the company must tear up
revenue stamps to cover the weight.
Even this pound should run man if he
were not 'sponged' upon."- Louis
