Their of the 5 cent cigar that is
smoked every day by millions of
Americans is Meinheer Jansen of
Amsterdam, the dictator of the
worlds Sumatra tobacco market. It
was he who discovered the value of
Sumatra leaf as wrapper" for CT
gars filled not only with American
but Havana tobacco.
Mr.. Jansen, while not the discov-
erer of the fact that the island of
sumatra produced a very superior
leaf tobacco, one curiously we'll fit
ted for use as cigar wrappers, was
the first to appreciate the value of
the diseovery-made by country
man of his-and to encourage the
wider and better cultivation of the
plant in Sumatra. 1t was he who
broke the domination of the Ha-
vana planters in the cigar trade. It
was he who made it possible for the
tobacco smoker OF ordinary means
to procure a cigar of excellence at
price that fitted his purse Today
the larger proportion of cigars
smoked all over the world are
wrapped with the smooth, fire
veined leaf grown on the island of
Sumatra. 1t is that leaf that made
impossible to utilize American grown
tobacco in the manufacture of edo
nestle cigars, and it was its intro
duction to this country that laid the
foundation for the immense domes-
tic cigar trade, a trade which en-
ploys thousands of men and in which
millions of American capital are in
vested.
A correspondent of The Tobacco
Journal visited Mr.. Jansen in Am
sterdam. He found him occupying
very modest almost shabby
office and dwelling in a home as
unostentatious as that of his Junior
clerk, despite the fact that he is

one of the richest cities in the world.
At the farthest corner, near the
window, stood desk, and from that
desk rose at my entrance figure
strong, massive, though slightly
stopped, with snow white hair and
flowing white whiskers trimmed in
English style, the correspondent
writes. 1t was Mr.. Jansen, whose
name is mentioned at Amsterdam
with almost breathless reverence, as
if it We're that of a saint.
Asked to tell the secret of his sue
cess, Mr.. Jansen said:
ut is comprised in one word,
confidence When Mr.. Nienhuijs,
the discoverer of the possibility of
raising an indispensable leaf on the
island Of Sumatra returned to Am
sterdam with his secret, but no
means of exploiting it, he APP
preached me and laid the project
before me. Go back, I said to
him, and draw on me for whatever
you may need Mr.. Nienhuijs stood

it. He then hesitatingly said: But
you don t know me, Mr.. Jansen. I
may be mere adventurer, and in
accepting vour offer l might ruin
you. DO what l tell you, 1 repeat
ed. 1 have confidence in you that
you will do what is right.
Mr.. Janssen's judgment proved
correct. Mr.. Nienhuijs did not turn
out an adventurer, but one of the
most painstaking and hardworkiDs
men alive, who spent 25 years Oh
the island of Sumatra cultivating
and improving the plantations of

Maynard's eyes. Through him in great

Through him, God willing and helping,

and good and noble that no one of their
number could ever again think i'll of

his meeting with her. What must be
done was to find that man Boston if

There IS rather gloomy fad lust now
very prevalent among society women
and that is to have their parlors and
sItting-rooms very dimIy lighted. Every
gas jet is shaded with crepe papers or
silk shades. and the lamps give but a
faint. soft light covered as they are
with thick. stiff paper shades. or globes
OF irtdescent glass. Between the hours
of 4 and :. when one generally paws
visits. it is the correct thing to have the
daylight shut out, and to receive guests
in such dark rooms that at times il is
hard for people to recognize each other.
Rather an amusing incident or accident
may be told. apropos of this fad. which
happened a short time ago. A young
married woman, with all her numerous
engagements on hand. had forgotten to
tell her husband of a promise she had
made TO receive wi n common
friend. The husband. wishing to pay his
respects to the friend. called and not
knowing his wife was there. rushed up
TO the first woman he saw. nearest the
door, shook hands jOyously. and was sur
prised to hear a familiar laugh. It was
so dark he had mis- scaken his own wife
for the hostess.
