Senate s Finest Tobacco.

'As if seized by a sudden inspiration" :" says the Post of Washington's birthday, Senator Wolcott left his seat and hur- ried across the Senate chamber. He sought the side of Senator Pettus, who was deep in the study of some papers, and whispered a word into his ear. It looked for a moment as if something very important had occurred in which the advice of the venerable sage from Alabama was sadly needed.
 "A broad smile spread over the face of Senator Pettus as he listened to his col dle of papers. First, one hand went into his left-hand trousers pocket. It came out empty. His right hand went into the other pocket and was also withdrawn with nothing doing. By this time his smile had disappeared. Then his vest pocket was investigated and still with out result. Finally, as a gleam of thought played across his face Senator Pettus dived deep into his hip pocket and a small package was produced. He handed it to Senator Wolcott, who held it underneath the desk and manipulated it for several minutes. At last, with a profound bow, he said good-by to Pettus and hastened back again to his seat. A moment later his hand travelled to his mouth in surreptitious fashion.
 Senator Pettus chews the finest brand of tobacco in use in the Senate.'
