A Good Joke ON sherman.

While marching through Georgia, Gener-
al Sherman Travelled with the left wing, un-
der General Slocum. After a long and
wearisome march, he one day crossed over
to the right wing, under General Howard.
While in General Howard's tent, which had
just been pitched, the Medical Director came
in, we'll acquainted with the habits and Gus
toms of both. General Sherman sometimes
took a "glass," while General Howard was
strongly opposed to the indulgence. Know
ing this, the medical gentleman, after a
short time, wishing to serve his chief With
out offense to Howard, said r .....I
= General Sherman, you look weary and
i'll. If you will come over to my tent, will
give you a Seidlitz Powder, which think
will do you good." ss .ali e5yr. g.1
''Thank YOU readily responded "Tecum-
sch, II think / WILL" 81
The man of physic departed, and General
Howard, who took everything literally, ran
to his valise and got powder, which he
mixed and handed to Sherman: ... -
t"There is no need to go away for one, il
that is what you want" he said, and Sher-
man, inwardly chagrined, but highly
amused, drank the cup, manfully, to the
mirth of several bystanders, who compre-
hended the whole magnitude ofthe joke at a
glance.--Satarday Evening Post. ,,

THE PROPERTIES OF THIS CONIPAs
Il ny consist of 423 acres Of the most desirable
OIL Lands in these States, selected with care and
judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part of it is situated on Dunkard
creek, Green county, Pennsylvania, where. in pro-
portion to developments, the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found is superior to Oil creek, 1t com
mandng higher price in the Pittsburg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongelia and Wetzell counties. and are considered
among the best in the State. -I
