PRACTICAL KINDNESS,
sno Hundred Thousand Grateful

Soldiers.
These war times have tried mems
ouls IN many unexpected ways, but
ike shaft OF sunshine and good cheer
tut of the cloud of privation and en-
lurance has been the work that The
American Tobacco Co. has done among
he U. S. Soldiers and Sailors ever since
The war began-for when they discov-
!red that the camps and hospitals were
aot supplied with tobacco they decided
% provide them, free OF cost, with
enough for every man, and have all
leady given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
pounds of Battle AK Plug" and
Dukes Mixture" Smoking Tobacco.
md have bought and distributed fifty
thousand briar wood pipes. at total
cost of between fifty and sixty thou
sand dollars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquar-
ters in each camp, so that every camp
and every hospital Of the United States
Army has been supplied with enough
tobacco for every man and the sailors
on thirty United States Ships in Cuban
waters have shared with the soldiers
+his most welcome of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to re-
member when we hear the remark
again that Corporations have no
souls" that there is one American cor
poration whose soul has been tried and
has not been found wanting in "prac-
tical kindness"

THE FINNISH PEOPLE.

The natives of Finland are among
the bravest people in the world. OF
their courage single example must
suffice. A fortress in Finland was be-
sieged by the Russians in 1905. After
a severe struggle it was at last taken
by assault, when the Russians discov-
cred that forty-fve out of the sixty de-
tenders were dead Notable also is the
democratic spirit of the Finnish people.
The poorest peasant is a gentleman
at heart, independent and self-respect-
ing, and he expects every one to treat
him as an equal.
Owing doubtless to the fact that they
were SO long isolated from the rest of
Europe the Films are very nquisitivo.
This is as characteristic trait as is
their obstinacy or their truthfunesS
or their honesty. The peasant asks
you where you come from the minute
he sees you are stranger. and the
better class folk soon turn the trav
eler inside out with questions. They
ask not only where you come from.
but where you are going. what Your
business is and whether you have a
husband. wife. father, mother. brothers.
sisters, ETC., all most good naturally.
but pertinaciously.
The Firms are very intense; they
are men of few words: slow to anger,
slower to forgive. They never do any
thing in a hurry. Life is very serious
to them and they endure great priva-
lions with patience. They never trif1e:
firtations they abhor: chaff they SIM
ply do not understand. Honest they
are to an extraordinary degree: they
are also kind hearted. respecters of law
and order and lovers of peace They
are more than hospitable; in fact. they
are overpoweringly generous in their
invitations to the veriest stranger and
most obliging in their dealings with
foreigners. doing their best to entertain
you, to understand your speech and to
show you all they can Of Finland,
whereof they are immensely proud.
