I have known them take a German prisoner even after he has played the cruel thing; but there! he looked hungry and wretched, and in a few minutes they have shared their rations and cigarettes with him.

"No more cigarettes; pipes are better." "Huh," I muttered. "No more swearing; there'd be a fine for swearing." "I I wouldn't care," I said. "Sure?" "Sure!" I looked over at him.

During the brief action a shell burst over the American ship, its fragments wounding one man. June 14. The American marines at Guantanamo Bay again attacked by the Spaniards. The heroes of Santiago Bay, who sank the Merrimac, rewarded by the Navy Department. First trial of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. The war tax on beer, ale, tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes went into effect on this date.

"Told him you'd jist run round the corner, sir, to get a fresh supply of them cigarettes you're so partial to, so he sat down and waited. And, oh, I say, guv'ner?"
