Not long ago little Lulu saw small
colored child for the first time in her
life. and the little black mite interested
her greatly. She asked her mamma a
great many questions concerning the
colored girl, and then for time she
remained silent. Suddenly Lulu quer-

Mamma. does little black girls go

FEW oooD JUDGES OF CIGARS.

Quality Counts Little with the Aver
age Buyer, Says One Dealer.
The man came In and asked for a
brand OF cigar that the cigar-store pro-
prietor didn't have.
"But I've got something that's prac-
tically the same smoke. the dealer
said, taking out box.
The man smiled wisely and indul-
gently and went out again, and the
dealer swore.
There are times" he said, "whcn
this business makes you trif1e tired.
Now, I'd bet everything that I've got
in the world that that chap couldn't
have told the cigar | offered him from
the brand he thinks he wants If his
life depended on it.
There are between a million and
half and two million brands of cigars
sold in this country. and your average
smoker. thinks that every brand means
different kind of tobacco. As mat
ter Of fact. $50 is an outside estimate
of the different kinds of tobacco that
can be procured from all sources, and
even experts can't tell some Of these
apart
.'As for the average smoker, not half
of them have any idea as to the quail
ity of the cigar they may be smoking.
The vast majority of tobacco users
smoke with their eyes and their eyes
only.
''The shape or size or color of cigar
strikes their fancy. 1t burns easily
and they are content. At the same time
these things have absolutely nothing
to do with the quality of cigar.
ITO get an illustration of how smok-
ing Is done with the eyes it Is only
necessary to remember that very few
blind men care anything about smok-
ing. In many cases men who have
gone blind after they have been invet-
crate smokers for years cease to care
anything about smoking few weeks
after losing their sight, and soon give
up the use of tobacco altogether.
$50 it's a perfectly well-known ak
iom in the trade that the quality of
cigar is as nothing compared with the
color of the wrapper, the shape, and
the way it burns. Or, in other words,
the workmanship Is considerably more
than half the battle. so far as the deal
er isSconcerned.
''Of course, an inveterate smoker of
Havana cigars does not enjoy domes-
tic smoke, and there are men who real
ly know and appreciate fine tobacco.
But in the run of trade these are an
almost vanishing minority. New
