there was his tail sure enough, not

A remarkable state OF contra band
has just been brought to, light in Spain,
where. although all the tobacco grow
ing colonies have been seized by the
United States. the growing of tobacco
in Spain itself, for which the province
OF Malaga, Almeria and Zeres are adj
mirably adapted, is prohibited. All the
same tobacco is not only grown, but is
cultivated in sufficient quantities to
employ four factories, of which the
products are on sale throughout Spain.
After a recent council the king pro-
duced q packet of cigars, and offering
one to each of the ministers, said
pleasantly, TRY these. To my think
ing they are excellent cigars. They
have been sent to me as present from
Andalusia. where. 1 am told, they are
manufactured by contraband from
Spanish-grown tobacco This incident
is expected to put matters on better
