A Little Pipe story.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette


An invidious remark has been made
upon the contents of Colonel John
Jacob Astor's equipment-car. Being a
millionaire, Colonel Aston has not
thought IL out OF place to go to
war in style and comfort. In this be
has before him the exalted example OF
Major-General Miles, his field commander
in-chief. But, despite this incidental fact
Colonel Aston has not escaped criticism
YET, there seems no reasonable restric-
ton against style and comfort for our
soldiery so long as II may be furnished
and maintained without excessive cost
to the government Still, IL Is not the
province of the press 10 give itself over
10 indiscriminate controversion OF popu-
lar criticism OF public officials, either
military or civic. Certainly the people
have a right to censure their servants at
pleasure.
But 1t seems proper to call attention to
the fact that while remembering his
own comfort, Colonel Aston has been by
no means unmindfui Of his command.
Each member OF the Aston battery re-
ceived from Colonel Astor a fine French
briar-wood pipe with amber stem and
box Of choice smoking tobacco. II that
Is not style and comfort. where are style
and comfort to be found? Only those who
have enjoyed the luxury OF a briar pipe
in the dreamy stiffness OF an evenings
smoke about IA campfire can appreciate
the delights Colonel Aston has made pos
sible 10 the boys by his thoughtfulness.
1t can surprise not even the least un-
appreciatiye that the boys, In impulsive
delight. drew up a letter OF thanks TO
their thoughtful commander-a letter
that he will probably treasure among
the most valued trophies the war may
bring TO him.
IL IS pretty exchange OF comrade-
ship between Colonel Astor and his boys
that will not lessen their valor on the
field nor their pleasure In camp.
