"So you wish for the hand of my
daughter, do you?" asked the great
lawyer of the young man who had
sought an interview.
"Yes. Mr. Smith," said the young
man in question, "Gertie loves mo ami
I am making a good income."
The lawyer mused for a sccond or
so, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, then
Je looked up:
"Gertie approves of you, you s*y,
Mr. Spllks, and 110 doubt yoti are
fully aware that what Gertie deter-
mines upon it is of no use for 1110 to
raise objection to?"
Spilks modestly admitted that he did
possess the imputed knowledge.
"Then," sfaid papa, going cn with the
conversation, "it is an open secret
that Mrs. Smith favours vour suit,
and you know that when Mrs. SmRh
insists, it matters not one jot whether
I raise objection or not?"
Young Spilks owned that the case
had been stated exactly.
"Then," said Smith, and for the first
time a shade of interest crept into his
voice, "why in the name of common
sense did you call to ask my consent?"
"Why, to tell the truth, Mr. Smith,"
said Spilks, frankly. "I was curious to
know how you would conduct the de-
fense. so to speak."
"Young man," said Smith, solemnly,
"take the girl and welcome; there's a
great career before you if you will but
leave the banking business and take
up reporting for the Mally Dail."

PLUG
CHEWING
TOBACCO
STAR has for years
been the world's leading
brand of plug chewing
tobacco. Statistics show
that about one-fifth of
all the chewers of plug
tobacco chew STAR.
There's a reason for
this enormous and con-
stantly increasing num-
ber of STAR chewers,
and it's just this—
Star Plug has always
been manufactured with
one sole object in view—
to give chewers the best
chew of tobacco it is pos-
sible to produce, yet to
sell this STAR chew at
a federate price.
More chewers are
learning every day that
STAR, considered from
the standpoint of true
merit, has no competitor,
and is the one best chew.
For a long time there
was a prejudico (which
probably still exists)
among certain chewers
against the use of what is
generally termed "Navy
Tobacco,"becauseof the
impression that all to-
bacco of that character
is too sweet.
It is true that some
brandsof tobacco, similar
in appearance to STAR,
are too sweet to please
chewers accustomcd to
the use of tobacco manu-
factured in thin plugs,
but we know that STAR
is right in every way.
You use tobacco for
the pleasure it gives —
increase your
pleasure by chew-
ing STAR 1
