This is because the full, rich, real tobacco taste lasts so long, you don’t need a fresh chew nearly as often.

WASHINGTON LEFT FUND FOR MUSIC Denver, Col.—Establishment of a na- tional conservatory of music where ex- clusively American music will be taught and developed may result from the disclosure by a local musician that George Washington created a fund of $40,000 for this purpose, which during over a century of interest drawing now amounts to approximately $2,500,000.

(@, 1920, by M News No matter what their respective oc- cupations or social standing during the winter months, on this particelar occasion they were simply a fisherman and his sweetheart going lobster catching at 5 o'clock of a summer's morning, and as the man steered for the open sea he divided his atten- Uon between the girl opposite him and the brightly painted buoys which bebbed in the green water, marking’ the place where the lobster pots lay hidden.

The sound of his voice, quite normal and showing no hint of the conflicting emotions that had been going on within his breast that morn- ing, gave him cournge. He turned toward the girl, a half-smile on bis lips. “Let's bet on It,” she suggested, and she returned his smile quietly. “It will be empty,” she said, begin- ning to show interest. He laughed merrily, “Impossible!” he exclaimed; “after a week there ought to be something here. It's neer rocks, too. If you lose,” he added, “you pay a forfeit, you know.” There was complete silence as he face covered with dank sea-weed and full of tiny star fish, they both leaned over it eagerly. “Empty!” exclaimed the girl, as she sank back in her seat with a little laugh of triumph. The man dropped the trap back Into the water and flung the dripping buoy angrily from him. Her laughter hurt him in his disap- pointment. “We'll have to try three times,” he told her; “it’s the only way to make it fair for both of us.” - Again he stopped the motor and caught at the buoy as it swept past. The game was growing exciting and the girl came and stood beside him. She wasn't exactly sure whether or not she wanted to win this time. As the trap neared the surface he closed his eyes and guessed quickly. “There'll be two,” he said, almost grimly, as he unfastened the little door. A perch imprisoned within sent the salt water into his eyes with Its terrified flapping, and it was a mo- | ment or two before he could exam- ine the contents of his trap. One large lobster, and, yes, hidden in one corner; a little chicken lobster. He measured it critically and then smiled. “Nine and one-half inches,” he told her, “I win this time.” Preparations were made for the third and final catch. A snowy-capped wave sent a white buoy bobbing into view and the girl felt a little tug at her heart-strings as she watched the man lean over and pull it from the water, Suddenly, with all her heart, she prayed that he would lose. The game had gone too far. She saw it in his eager glance and felt it in the quickened beating of her own heart. It seemed almost as though her lib- erty were slowly slipping from her, and she wanted so much to be always It was her turn to guess, and she glanced about her quickly. were far out to sea by this time, and the rocks were no longer visible. She repeated her first bet. “It will be empty here,” she sald. He looked at her and sighed. “I was afraid that you would say that,” he said gravely. “I seldom get much out here at the present time.” Hand over hand he drew ip the rope | until the trap rested dripping upon | the side of the boat. He cleared away the sea-weed and looked into the trap while the girl sat with averted head ulmost as though it mattered nothing to her how !t would all come out. Then a glad little chuckle from her com- panion made her turn, and she saw him standing with a giant lobster held | by the back.

Whether or not the man asked the girl the all-important question that summer's morning has not been de- cided, for at the time the last catch was taken they were three miles out, and all jurisdiction over them had ceased, but sufficient it is to say, that when the boat came to shore an hour or so ldter they were sitting together upon the seat above the engine, look- ing as though they had found a pot of gold at the end of the sun-path they had followed that morning. —_ The sun rose higher and high- | They | Shutting off the motor he | “Now,” said the Philadelphia man, “I’ll take you out to see the nae ; “What's the use?” sighed the Kentucky golonel. “We haven’t the other requisites for julep.”—Lou- We still STORE BATTERIES WELD THOSE FROST BITTEN ENGINE PARTS UNANIMITY, “How is your wife going to vote?” “Henrietta,” replied Mr. Meek- ton, with di, , “will vote the same way that I do.” “And how will you vote?” “T believe in feminine intuition.
