Even Sir Thomas Dale, his nccenor,
who cum from England In the year
1611. was no more successful. Sir
Thomas had unlimited power. His

stockholders, backed . up by the king,
had bade, him "go ahead" and show a
decent pfoflt upon the: investment. And
Sir' Thomas did his best. Before he
had landed he had given orders that
a: number of men who were' passing
the time of day by dosing on the shore
nfioujd be put to work on fine of death.
After fee was once on shore he kept
every one on the run. But he -worked
under a terrible disadvantage. The
pious stockholders of the Virginia com
pany-.were worried-about the souls of
their subjects. These poor men and
, women were so far away from home.
, Could they be trusted to remain faith
ful to the old doctrines? Th stock
holders 'doubted it

cording to the wise decrees of the Lbn

Thereupon he or she had to offer him

hearty and reassuring, Uk hi voice in

' These rales did not make the gover-

colonists were good Christians ; they
liked to spend .an afternoon at home,
once in a while. And Jamestown, was
slowly going to ruin when a sudden
change in the taste of the European
public saved the little cltyv Thus far
the people of the old continent had re
garded tobacco as a wicked weed which
might be used as a medicine in case
of a Btomach-ache (boiled with vine
sar for six hours and served hot with
red pepper) but which should not 'be
taken in any other way. But during
the first few year's of the seventeenth
century smoking became popular not
withstanding a whole series of terri
fying laws which threatened peaceful
burghers with decapitation if they
were caught with "smoke oozing from
their nostrils."
With everybody in Europe smoking
the demand for tobacco suddenly in
creased. Then the Virginians suddenly
found themselves within reach of
riches. They left their communistic
fields, claimed the three acres of land
to which they were all entitled by law
and began to grow tobacco. From
that moment on Virginia was a com
plete success and the stockholders in
London thanked Divine Providence
which had guided their ships to such
a profitable harbor. But tne" stock
holders of the Plymouth company,
shivering with cold whenever they
thought of their experiences along the
coast of Maine.' did not share those
feelings, - which was only human and
natural.
