JUSTICE HARLAN,s roBAcco.

Associate Justice Harlan will not
have to buy any more chewing tobac-
co for quite aspell. The tobacco man.
ufacturers ofsthe country are keeping
him supplied free of'cost. Last week
during the argument of the tobacco
trust case Judge Harlan, from the
bench, complained bitterly Of the de.
moraliziEfl influence, on the quality OF
chewing tobacco exercised by the com.
bination.
I'VE cant get any more good chew
Ing tobacco" he said mounrfully. This
remark reached the ears Of tobacco
manufacturers North. South and West.
Since then they have been busy try
ing to convince the Justice Of the
error Of his remarks. Almost every
mail brings a stock Of prime plug,
The Justice has enough to last him
for years.-Washington Letter. Brook
