Why General Grant Smoked.

At a sort of campfire in New
York the other evening, when the
Eleventh Army Corps Association
got together to swap army yarns,
and punish a whole lot of good
things to eat and drink. a story
was told by General James Grant
Wilson as to how General Grant be-
came an inveterate smoker. II
seems that after the fight at Fort
Donaldson, the Northern newspa-
pers circulate the story that Gen.
Grant unanswered the whole fight

cigar. Until then Grant was ar
extremely moderate smoker, bu'
people of the North, believing he
was fond of smoking, began -te
send him cigars. They arrived at
camp in boxes, packages and whole
sale quantities, until General Gran.

didn't care to give them away, and
he couldn't return them, SO he start
ed in to see what he could do TO-
ward diminishing the supply by
smoking. Thus he got the habit.
