My best customers were once among the strongest doubters of my proposition. I have received many first orders for my cigars with postscripts some! : this“ I don't bi can do all you say, but as you take the risk, I am going to give you an opportunity to ‘show me.'” Those orders came from experienced smokers who know cigars, and know how impossible it is to get_ good cigars at $5.00 a hundred from retailers. But in justice to their sense of economy or to their taste for good tobacco, and because they realized that the terms of my offer put no obligations on them, they decided to give me and my cigars a fair trial. And that is all I ask Those men almost invaria- bly have reordered and be- come my largest and most permanent customers, as well as recommending my cigars to their friends, Their second orders usually read this way—« Enclosed find $10 to pay for the hun- dred cigars you sent me on approval, and for another hundred to be sent me one week from date. You may enter me as a standing order customer and ship me one hundred cigars every two weeks. You have made good. Your cigars are equal to those I have been paying toc, to 15c. each for. Thave a great many letters in my files reading almost word for word like the above; many customers whose orders, from a doubtful beginning, have reached an aggregate of thousands of cigars, and to whom | am still shipping regularly at given intervals, Here is my plain-Eng- lish, no-risk-to-you offer : MY OFFER IS: hundred Shivers’ Panatela Cigars on approval to a reader of JUDGE, ex- press prepaid. Me may smoke ten cigars and return the remaining 1 will send ee ninety at my expense and no charge| for those smoked If he Is not pleased with them; If he Is pleased, and keeps them, he Is to remit the price, $5.00, within ten days. The fillers of these cigars are Clear Havana, of good quality—not only clea but long, clean Havana—no shorts or cuttings are used. They are hand made by the best of workmen, The making has much to do with the smoking quali- ties of a cigar. The wrappers are genu- ine Sumatra. In ordering please enclose business card or give personal references, and state whether mild, medium or strong cigars are desired. HERBERT D.

(With acknowledgments to Hamlet) To play, or not to play ; that is the ques- ton: Whether suffer The deaths and scandals caused by rowdy players, Or to make stand against the mob of schoolboys, And by opposing, stop them, To forbid, abolish ; No more ; and by our law, to say we end The pictures, and reporters’ thousand tales ‘tis better for the schools to Devoutly to be wish'd. To forbid, abolish ; Perhaps to substitute; aye, there's the rub! For in the realm of schools what ills may come, When we have stored away the football suits Must give us pause; there's the respect That gives the game So long a life ; For who would bear the **flunks”, gate money evils, coaches’ tricks, cheating, The yells of frenzied crowds, vermilion paint, insolence of fullbacks, spurns The patient teacher of the athlete takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a short edict? Who would cripples train To limp disfigured through a weary life, But that the dread of what may later come, Some undiscovered sport, whose barba- rous kind No college head foresees—puzzles the will, And makes us rather stand the game we have Than let in others that we know not of.
