He Got the Dried Apples
The vice president of the Red Cross
American branch Mrs J Ellen Foster
tells an amusing story of Our Teddy
while in Santiago He appeared be
fore the headquarters one day with a
moving request for some delicacies for
his men His appeal mt with the re
ception it deserved and he was prom
ised that the next carload should con
tain some of the luxuries craved His
meaning had apparently not been
grasped and he hastened to explain
that the luxuries nominated in the bond
were no other than dried apples so
that the Rough Riders could have some
sass like their mothers used to make
Much amused the committee promised
he should have all the dried apples he
could use on the next trainload Still
he was unsatisfied He wanted the ap
ples but he wanted more he wanted
them at once But surely Colonel
Roosevelt you dont want to take them
yourself Yes I do answered the
gallant colonel The last seen of him
he was mounted on a horse galloping
back to his cavalry his coat decorated
with stripes and fixins and over his
shoulder a huge bundle of dried ap
ples The lines between the pathetic
and the humorous gje often closely

PRACTICAL KINDNESS
One Hundred Thousand Grateful Sol
diers
These war times have tried mens souh
in many unexpected ways but like a shaft
of sunshine and good cheer out of the
cloud of privation and endurance 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 discovered 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 Ax Plug and Dukes Mix
ture Smoking Tobacco and have bought
and distributed fifty thousand briar wood
pipes at a total cost of between fifty and
sixty thousand dollars
This work has been done quietly aud
thoroughly by establishing headquarters
in each camp so that every camp and ev
ery hospital of the United States army has
been supplied with enough tobacco for
every man and the sailors on thirty
United Slates ships in Cuban waters have
shared with the soldiers this most wel
come of all rations
Perhaps it will be only fair to remember
when we hear the remark again that
corporations have no souls that there
is one American corporation whose oul
has been tried and has not been found
wanting in practical kindness

Key Concealed in a Ring
A Cincinnatian but lately returned
from England tells of a rather novel
innovation in the way of locks and
keys or to speak more correctly key
At a country place he visited he was
surprised to see his host unlock the
gateway of the place witha small key
that in some mysterious way was pro
duced from a large seal ring he wore
Yet the ring was not large enough to
be conspicuous by reason of its size or
style As he expressed some surprise
in the matter his host said
This is a master key You see it
slides under the set in the ring and
occupies no space whatever It will
unlock every lock about the place even
my dressing bag my trunk my bond
box and wine cellar
He was asked as to the arrangement
in general whether one key say of the
butler would unlock the front door
Not at all he replied The locks
are all arranged in suites The butler
can unlock all the doors that are in his
department and the housekeeper can
unlock the linen closets and other doors
under her supervision but she cannot
get into the butlers domain And in
every other department about the place
from end to end every one has his or
her key but I have only the master key
All of the doors open to me My valet
can open my dressing case and closets
but he cannot get a bottle of wine Of
course the arrangements in a seal ring
is novel but it is very handy for me
In the first place I cannot lose it and in
the secojod place everything opens to me
without asking a question Cincinnati
