We sell our entire product directly to the smoker at real factory prices. To-day over 68,000 business and pro- fessional men buy all cf their cigars from us.

The secret of having retained their patronage js that before deciding to cep our cigars you always have the privilege of trying five or six from each box entirely at our expense. Every box is a sample box. therefore we are always on our mettle to keep up the highest standard of quality and uniformity.

Professor Peck, on the other hand, with all authorities at his elbow (we do hope that neither Jack London nor Joseph R. Kipling wrote that anony- mous essay)—Professor Peck, we say, O.K.’s the only specific statement, other than the Colonel's, which we have been able to unearth at the Astor Library. The professor says, or editorializes (we are not sure which) : The elephant’s pace, when exceeding a walk, is neither a trot’ nor a gallop, but, a sort ‘of shuffle, the speed of which is in- creased or diminished without change of gait. We are very much obliged to the professor—who can settle his quarrel with the Colonel himself—but how does it come that the Danish artist in porce- lain agrees with our Barye? After looking his gift elephant in the mouth and noting with amazing powers of observation that it could not pass mus- ter as the African species, the Colonel looked it likewise in the heels, amiably remarking that it would do. The subject seems exhausted, ex- cepting, of course, to the Colonel, who exhausts not, neither is he exhausted by man or beast. If we are in the least elated it is in spite of his apparent af- fiction, and because we still cherish anning- owman ALCOHOL Gas Stoves The Alcolite Wick-Feed Burner burns denatured alcohol ANNING-BOWMAN AlI- cohol Gas Stoves can be used interchangeably with Chafing Dish or Coffee Pot Style Percolator and, in addition, will take any cooking utensil and cook as complete a meal as can be done on a kitchen range.

Trusting as we do in the veracity of our special correspondent and reluctant to believe that psycho-elephantasiasis has proved more terrible than jungle fever, we regret that the Colonel, with consent of Scribner’s, has not made known his coup to the King of Den- mark. It would perhaps make him eligible for the greatest honor within the gift of the crown—no paltry porce- lain pachyderm from the wrong con- tinent, but the Knightly Order of the White Elephant, originally conferred by Canute.
