ANYBODY can tell
jTxl you what a tobacco
costs. But only yo old
pipe can tell you what a
tobacco is worth.
THEREcan't beany better pipe tobacco
than VELVET because it is the best
of good Burlcy cured in Nature's way.
No one has been able to equal Nature's
method of curing tobacco two years'
ageing in wooden hogsheads. It is slow
it is expensive, but if you will try a tin
of VELVET today you will know that
it is right
Get clearly in your own mind just what Qualities
you want your pipe tobacco to have. Then give your
old pipe a chance to prove to you that VELVET
fills every one of your requirements.
Mtke any teit you likt; compare VELVET with any
tobacco you choose and the sooner the better!

But tbers la another fruit tree men

never been Introduced Into Biblical

Tba flg tree play a vary Important

SHE JUST GETS IT.
When a Weman Makee Up Her Mind
That She Wanta a Thing.
Tba nam difference between seen
and women la uo where ao marked a
It la In tba dUtlnctlon between charac
ter and ability.
A man a ability la entirely aeparate
from bl character. A man may nave
genlu and no character at all. Be
may have imall ubllltlee and large
character. In a man tbe two thing ap
pear to be entirely Independent of one
another.
But a woman'a character 1 deter
mined by her ability, and ber ability Is
determined by ber character. In real
ity, tbeiefore, women ara much more
nlmple tlmn men, although they do not
appear to be o. Women are more
complicated outwardly than men. They
offer more euperfkial variety. But
closer obnervatlon and auoclatlon
among tnem tend to make them more
like.
Men, on the other timid, grow more
complicated a )ou.cuie to knowtbem
better. ThU is l nnw. their alillltlin
and character being unrelated nud tbe
proportionate measure of each aubject
to variation, new combination are
contfautly being prevented. Tbe vari
oua thine which go to make up the
motive power of a woman, on tbe other
band, are more cloaely related. Wom
en, therefore, coucentrate more tbau
men, although they do not aeem to do
ao, tbe proceta being uncooftclou.
That explain wby. If a woman
wanta a thing and a man doesn't want
