“Now Is theTime to Do It”
says the Good Judge
Go to real tobacco —
the small chew with
the rich tobacco taste
that lasts a long time.
It will cost you less to
chew than ordinary
tobacco. Any man
who uses the Real
Tobacco Chew will
tell you that.

A “ N o" That Made a Friend.
A httslne»* man went to two hank­
er«. He wished to borrow f ’J.tmn from
one and $1.000 from the other. J,y- g
man Anson tell« the story In the Oc­
tober Issue o f System, the Msgsalne
o f n u «liie«s: The Aral hanker loaned
him $3.000, hut w a» so unpleasant
and condescending about It that the
biistiieaa man went hnck to hla office
with Ihe thought, "I'll never liave auy
more dealings with that hank aa long
as I live." The second hanker refused
the loan o f $ 1,000, hut he did It ao
graciously and with ao d e a r an e x ­
position of his reasons, that the httaU
ness man left ns a booster for th # l
hank, and said to himself, " f in going
to put my iiflnirs In such shape that
there will he no earthly reaaon why
this man should not loan to me. I
want to do business with hint." The
second hanker hnd learned the art o f
saylttg "N o ." It Is a real art. Yon hav*
to practice It every tiny.

’’ Now," Inquired the man o f ponder­

"W ell," replied the man who alwaya
tries to give some kind of an answer;
" I can't undertake to apeak fo®nny-

caused by n family of Jitxziuunlncg In
