Apipe-smoker's
challenge to
other smokers
Is there a smoker in the
audience who can
answer this one?

Nearly every smoker is particular
about the kind of tobacco that goes
into his pipe. While he may smoke a
pipeful from a friends pouch for the
sake Of companionship, for day-in-and-
day-out smoking he prefers his own
brand.
And yet If you ask the average
smoker what it is he likes about his
tobacco, he may have difficulty in
answering you Immediately.
Mr.. Joe Rivers, whose letter fol-
lows, is a confirmed Edgeworth
smoker. In attempting to describe
what he likes about Edgeworth, he
coins the word Responsibilities"
But as this does not entirely satisfy
him, he puts the question up to other
Edgeworth smokers.
Larus & Brother Company,
Richmond, Va
Gentlemen:
Being pipe smoker OF no mean expert
ence (having tried most pipes and pipe to-
baccos) I've watched your smokers let
tiers in the magazines for some explanation
Of taste that for me applies only to
Edgeworth.
tits extremely difficult to describe this,
because IL seems to come as the smoke
filters through the mouth and nostrils at
the end Of drawfrom the pipe-a sort Of
combined "tasty-smellfulness" that most
sstisfes the smoke appetite.
Why don't you get some OF your smok-
err who can write, to describe this?
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Joe Rivers

My goodness" he said, 1.-The sky
is even farther away than the roof
of the circus tent. Isn't that funny?"
And he went on whistling to himself
through his long white whiskers, to
keep up his courage.
Before long he came to house.

what a queer brown thing, bigger
than an elephant" he said to himself,
stopping his whistle in Amusement.
Nov l wonder what's the use of
that?"
He was brave little white mouse,
so he hurried to find out what the big
brown thing was, for he had never
been inside a house. Luckily for him
there was no dog and no cat in the
house, for he quite forgot TO be care
full. In front of the big brown house
there was big hole, which was a
door, although he did not know it was
a door. But he knew that holes could
be gone through, so in he went.
Inside the big brown house there
lived family of very well-behaved
mice, brown, all of them, who never
made noise in the walls at night or
nibbled the loaves of bread in the
pantry.
They were always on the watch for
what was going on in the big house
and so it happened they saw the white
mouse just as he came in the door
and they nearly tumbled over them
selves in their establishment. for they
! had never before seen a white mouse.
The brown mice crowded to the
edge of the mOusehole, peering at the
white mouse and l expect they felt
very much the way the poor Indians
did when they saw white man for
the first time.
At last one of the bravest of them
said: Il am going to speak to him,
he has whiskers just like ours and a
tail just like ours and eyes just like
ours; maybe he fell in the milk pan
and could not get it washed Off"
81 don't believe that said the sis
ter of the brave brown mouse, her
little nose wiggling in a funny way,
HE looks white all the way through"
| When the brown mouse who was
brave enough to speak TO the stran-
ger said, "Can l do anything for you,
| sir?' in his very grandest manner,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1923-10-05

little white mouse stared, for you see
little white mouse had never seen just
an ordinary mouse before
But at last he got over his fright
and brown mouse persuaded him TO
come into his wall home and when
brave brown mouse's sister told white
mouse how nice it was to live there
he decided he would not try to find
his way back to the circus tent.
And so one night there was a we'd
ding in the walls of the brown house
and little white mouse and pretty
little brown mouse set up housekeep-
ing and some time you may be sur
prised by seeing white mouse run
along close to the wall of the room
where you happen to be sitting, and if
you do, perhaps it will he one of the
children who looks like its father,
little white mouse, who ran away
from the circus tent long time ago.

The clown was walking about the ring
Of the circus he would pull the white
mouse out of his pocket and let him

happy together All the children

saw the tiny thing on the arm of the
clown, and the people in the back
rows would crane their necks and try
to see what was happening away
down below.
But one day the white mouse slid

A chicken stealing case was before

But the circumstances of the case
had provoked the curiosity of the

the chickens and carry them off right
under the window of the owners

loose in the yard. But the thief was
not anxious to explain.

MEN YOU MAY MARRY
BY e. r. PEYSER

Has a man like this proposed
to you?
Symptoms: There's the man
who has made his pile. He is
hale and hearty, restless and has
retired from business. His
mother thinks he has been an
exemplary son. His sister has
never gone without thing that
he could get for her. His small
brother has had the careful care
that only a big brother could
give him. He is good looking,
but appears unsatistied. He be-
lieves he ought to get married.
His spinster friends believe he
should get married. Even his
bachelor friends have pre-
scribed marriage. He seems
restless, even after proposing to
you. He has spent his life In
the closest application to work.
You can't find anything in which
he is interested. He tells you
he is sick of baseball; golf is
an old mans game; art is not in
his line; cards he never liked
and why should he take it up
now? Reading is futile, for the
books are so poor; hunting is a
tax on a man of forty; and so
on.
IN FACT
He is the greatest tax on him
self.
Prescription to His Wife:
n You must get carloads Of
" poise and control from
somewhere! He wants you be-
cauAe he thinks you will make
him less fidgety. Dig up new
pastimes he has never had a
chance to condemn. Make him
enthusiastic even over collecting
!. pebbles.

her distinguished French origin has

a deliberately foreign name receive
