A great wave of perspiration had SVEN.

There was no sadness in her ewes, and in

OF her leafy glory, simple Oyster crossed

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred thousand Grateful Sol.
diers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out OF the cloud
of privation and endurance has been the
work that The American Tobacco Co. has
done among the U. S. Soldiers and Sailors
ever since the war began-for when they
discovered that the camps and hospitals
were not supplied with tobacco they de-
cided to provide them, free of cost, with
enough for every man, and have already
given outright to our Soldiers and Sailors
over one hundred thousand pounds of bat.
Ak Plug" and Dukes Mixture" Smoking
Tobacco, and have bought and distributed
fifty thousand briar wood pipes, at a total
cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dol.
lars.
This work has been done quietly and
thoroughly, by establishing headquarters
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 this most welcome
of all "rations."
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
Corporations have no souls" that there
IS one American corporation whose soul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness"

Wood has had an important influence
on the papermaking industry. Young
saplings, which before. were not worth

verified into pasteboard. A tree was

six o'clock in the evening. At six
o'clock the next morning it was being
distributed as a daily paper.

Incredible as it may sound, not one of

Books used by the blind are very ex-
pensive. Most of them cost about four
dollars each. The Bible, in raised let
tiers, is comprised of 40 thick volumes,
the price of which is S25 dollars for the
set. This is an exceptionally low price,
because the Bible seems to give more
solace to the blind than any other
book.
