"Why do you like to smoke, daddy?"
Jamie asked, as he held a match to
the end of his father's clear.
"Puff! Puff PufT" said hi fath

is something about a rood clear thai
makes men forget their troubles for
awhile. Just as candy helps Utile boys
to forg-rt theirs. Some folks call It
My Lady Nicotine.' "
"Would It help me forget mine?"
asked Jamie, looking wistfully out at
the slushy hill down which he had so
hoped to slide that afternoon.
"I am afraid not!" laughed his
father. "You'd better stick to candy!
Smoking makes little boys sick. You
want to grow u Jnto a big. strong
nun. don't you?"
"Of course!" replied Jamie.
"Well, then, don't smoke until you
aro a man, for it you do yuu won't
prow b;g cither In your mind or In
your body, and wouldn't that be too
badf After you are twenty-one. If
you care to smoke, do It; but until
then, let tobacco alone."
"Toharco? Is that what cigars are
made of?" asked Jamie.
"Yes."
Jamie's father held out Ms clear to
ward the little boy.
"See those layer and layers of
brown things wrapped around each
other? Those are tobacco leaves."
"Leaves?" echoed Jamie. "Does to
bacco grow on trees?"
"No. not on trees but on plants that
are sometimes as high as I am. al
though In this part of the country
they are uua!ly about as tall as you.
"How bis are the leaves?"
"From six to eighteen Inches long."
"And are they brown that way when
they are growing?"
"Oh. no." answered his father, "the
leaves are preen like those of arv
other plant, and they are covered with
a fun like hair."
"Where does tobacco grow?" Jamie
asked.

During the American Civil War a
tall ungainly recruit stepped up to a
group of soldiers and holding up a
bundle of soiled wash asked, "Do you
know where I can get this washed?"
Two of the group were practical
Jokers. "Oh, yes, we know. Just go
up there with your bundle." pointing
to tho hondquarters of General Grant.
"You will see a short, stout man"
describing the General "who does
washing. Take your bundle to him."
Tho recruit thanked them and walked
off in tho direction indicated.
"What can I do for you?" said Gen
eral Grant.
"I was directed here by a couple of
soldiers," said tho recruit. "They told
me that -you did washing, and I havo
a bundle here." General Grant prob
ably enjoyed the situation, but his Im
perturbable face did not relax. lie
simply asked the question, "Could you
Identify these men again?" "Yes,
sir." "Very well; you shall have the
chance."
Turning to an orderly he directed
him to call a guard, go with the re
cruit to where the Jokers were stand
ing, ready to enjoy his discomfiture,
and let him Identify them.
"Take the men to tho guardhouse,
give them this mans bundle of clothes
and make them wash It thoroughly.
Sco that the work Is woll done." The
General was obeyed to the letter.

the United Slates, in Cuba, in the
Philippines In many parts of Ei-ope
and In Asia.
"It's a funny name. Isn't It?' ald
Jamie. "1 wonder what tobacco
means?"
'Some people think It came from
'tabaco,' which was the pipe or tube
that the Indians smoked It in, others
think It came from the name of an
island, but nobody is quite sure."
1 wonder who smoked first!"
'Well, when Columbus discovered
America, the Indians were smoking.
You know tliey tilled a long pipe with
tobacco that ihiy called 'the pipe of
peace'. This pipe was passed around
to those with whom tliey were on
friendly terms. Some people think
that llie Chinese smoked long before
that lime, because there are pictures
uf what look like pipes on some of the
old sculptures that have been found.
."After Ameuca waa discovered,
about in 6s6. Sir Francis Drake and
Lane, the first governor of Virginia,
'.uok some tobacco and pipes over to
! England and gave them to Sir Waller
Kaleigh. Sir Walter was a very fash
ionable gentleman, and soon after he
begun to smoke' other people who
wished to be thought fashionable, imi
tated him and so started the custom.
At tlrst, tobacco was very expensive.
because It had to be shipped from this
country to England, and so was used
only by the rich people. King James
the first, of England, issued an order
against the use of tobacco, which he
thought was 4 dirty and harmful hahit
but he may as well have saved his
words for more and more people used
it. In some countries, smoking was
considered a crime and people who
ud tobacco were severely punished.
"It was considered very fashionable

"How funny? Did people ever do
that here?" asked Jamie, laughing.
"Yes. It wus done In George Wash
ington i time, when gentlemen wore
wigs and knee trousers, and ladles put
little black patches of court plaster on
their cheeks to make their complexions
look pretty."
"How funny they must have looked

"Tobacco plants are usually raised

"Are there any other kinds of to

Jamie.
"Yes, there Is the tobacco that peo

cheap, roughly-made cigars, and
cigarettes, and tobacco cut up fine to
smoke In pipes," answered his father.
"Havo ladies any use for tobacco?"
Jamie asked, as his mother came Into
the room.
"Yes, indr?d!" she answered. "Some
ladles smoke cigarettes! I use It to
keep moths out of things, and some
times I take the ends of daddy's cigars
and crumble them around my flowers
to keep off bugs and to maka the
ground rich." '
"And so ends the story and the cigar
