Senator Platt and His Little Joke

Senator Platt. of Connecticut, has a trick cigar, says the Washington Post. It looks like very good cigar, but nobody has yet had a chance ito smoke. MT. Platt has a pleasant way of engaging a feqlow-senator in conversation, and adroitly bringing the talk around to the subject of smoking Then he puts his hand in his pocket, fum- bles for little while, and finally produces very good-looking cigar with a light wrapper.
 Now this cigar" begins Senator Platt, as though he were featuring, "is really quite curiosity. It has a filler of Porto Rico tobacco and a wrapper of Connecticut leaf. It shows that Porto Rico tobacco will come into competition with our own product-"
 At this point the listening senator reaches out his hand to take the cigar.
 "Oh no,' says Mr. Platt. "this is the only one I have" Then the cigar drops back into his pocket.
