Still Larger.

An enterprising tobacconist in London, whose name was Far, advertised himself and his wares simultaneously by writing np in conspicious lettering over his store, “The best tobacco by Far.” A rival on the opposite side of the way not to be outdone, at once proclaimed the superiority of his stock by advertising, “ Far better tobacco than the best tobacco by Far.” This reminds the New York Afatf of ths 'story of the miner who, returning from the far West to civilisation, saw a sign up outside a show, “ The largest bear ip the world.” After paying his twenty-five cents and enjoying the sight, he riotieed another sign across the street, “Lfcger beer,” and at once returned and demanded his money back, on the ground that it had been extorted under false pretencefl, as there was a larger bear over the way.
