PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful Sol
diers.

These war times have tried mems souls
in many unexpected ways, but like a 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. ). 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"

A SMALL BOYS SCHEME.
He Had an Idea About Eggs which
Promised N Splendid Result to
His Mind.

A small boy who is not familiar with ruras
ways was taken by his fond mamma for a
brief stay in the country.
On a farm IN a neighboring county he
waved fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wOndrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smihngly said to his
mather:
just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
III the stable fOr:'
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the ix-year-Old.
My dear. what did you do with those eggs
yOu took from the hen house,?
"Oh, mamma" replied the boy, 81 didn't
want you to know about II.
''Why, it's all right, said mamma, Il only
want to know what my boy did with them.
II hid them in the stable, said the little
fellow.
And what for?''
cause it's my scheme"
'Your scheme? And what is youi
scheme:'
why, you see, mamma. SAID the lttie
philosopher, when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an | fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses"
1t is needles. to add that up to the time
of his leaving the farm the miracle was still
mplished.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
