There is good reason why the leader
in an exploit such as Hobson's should
be given special credit. for experience
tells US that he must have inspired his
men by his example. II is so also with
other leaderships besides those Of war
Those who follow may be as brave as
the leader after they get started, but
they have not his initial courage OF
they would start without him. The
leaders In great social ana political
reforms start out usually under mosi
discouraging circumstances. but they
have faith and courage. and finally
through their persistence gather a few
followers whom they inspire by theif

efforts their supporters are entitled te
credit, but the chief honors fall natur-

MANIAC AND THE MOON.

Residents OF Florida street, ne<r

thankful that Charles Prettijohn has
been sent to Agnews asylum. They can
go to bed now with the calm assurance
that their rest will not be broken by
clamor to which a Chinese riot Is not

only occupant of 1917 Florida stfeet.
In his front yard stands the tailest
eucalyptus tree in all the mission. In
his brain existed a belief that blood
thirsty enemies were ever dogging his
steps. For three-quarters Of each

drove him to keep himself behind
doors tightly locked and windows
heavily barricaded. The remaining pc

same. "Soapy," however, was an ad-
mirable strategist and often laid plans
for bold robberies that completely de-
ceived the good and honest citizens and
invariably proved successful One OF
these schemes, which was carried
through with mastery generalship, will
serve to illustrate the ability of the
man as q leader and a campaign plan
ner. There was a Canadian minister
In town who was anxious to raise
enough money to build church for his
congregation. 1t was "Soapy' Smith
who put him in the right way to accom-
plish his purpose. He advised the
minister to make personal canvass of
the town and solicit subscriptions from
the prominent business men. To show
his genuine interest in the matter he
at once put down his name and really
gave up $3.50 In cash toward the prof.
ect. This liberal donation had a
marked effect upon the "other" good
citizens.
They all subscribed literally. and the
minister was gratified to find that in
very short time he had raised sew
eral thousand dollars. But that money
never was used to build a church. The
minister had no sooner completed his
work and had the money in his pos
session than he was waylaid and
robbed Of the whole sum. II Is a GER
tainty that "Soapy" had his $3.50 duly
returned to him and with a liberal in
terest added. while the rest Of the
gang. to the same certainty, profited in
dividuaIly. according to their rank In
"Soapy's" army Of robbers.
But such was this mans power that
no one dared openly denounce him. It
was bad enough to know that he sys-
tematically plundered from the strang-
ers who ehanced to land In Skaguay
with gold dust. but 1t was worse when
his scheming brain devised plans to rob
his fellow citizens and set his band to
carry them out. And yet his reign con-
tinued. though Skaguay had grown to
be city Of 5000 business men. He
was at the height of his power Just pre-
yious to his being killed. On the
Fourth Of July Skaguay had resolved

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.
One Hundred Thousand Grateful

oOAoler1s
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 en-
dura1ce 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 discoy-
cred that the camps and hospitals were
not supplied with tobacco they decided
to provide them, free Of cost, with
enough for every man, and have al
ready given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
pounds of Battle Az 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 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
this most welcome of all "rations."
