Der three came up in a gallop. Gen

General. He told me to say to you
that the enemy had developed noth-
ing but o weak picket on his left The

A story is told of certain colonel in
the late war. The colonel was riding
IN stage coach with several other pas
sengers, when he acCid enbalIY dropped
his hat outside of the coach. Putting
his head out Of the coach window, he
exclaimed in a stentorian voice
'Ah charioteer, pause / have lost
my chapeau."
The driver paid no heed TO the de-
mand. Again the pompous fellow au-
thoratatively spoke:
"Ah! chariOteer, pause I have lost
my chapeau."
No attention being paid by tine dri-
yer to this last command, a plain, blunt
man, who had become disgusted with
hih fellow-traveler's Stiffness and pomp-
osity, put his head out Of the window
and saiC
Driver, hold on this id fool has
lost his hat p'
This was perfectly ineligible to the
driver, expletive and all, and the hat
was secured.
