General Tracy's First Cigar.


General Benjamin F. Tracy, former
Secretary Of the Navy. and associate
Of General BENJAMIN Harrison in rep
resenting this government in the mat
ter Of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute, finds his keenest enjoyment in
smoking. During his recent voyage to
Paris he passed q good deal Of his
time in the smoking-room Of the steam
er. But the general was nearly SO
years old before he acquired the taste
for tobacco. Previous to that time
smoking made him iii.
During the early '70s he was en-
gagged as counsel In a celebrated case
and was compelled to devote not only
the day but the greater part Of the
night to his task. Once when he was
thoroughly tagged cut an associate
suggested that Q cigar with his coffee
might have q soothing effect. General
Tracy succumbed to the temptation.
and before he was aware Of 1t had fin-
ished his third cigar. They seemed to
quiet his nerves. and he was able to
work over his papers the whole Of that
night Since that time, perhaps out Of
gratitude for the effect Of those three
cigars. General Tracy has been p
smoker.-Philadelphia Post.

Machecoul was vast feudal castle, with
