Johnny got it ''put down in writin' "
this timel
After hasty glance at the slate, the
General went on with bis studies COM
posedly enough. Eleven o'clock came,
and with it came recess, and with re-
cess the inevitable battle.
Now do not intend to describe the
details of this brilliant action, for the
sufficient reason that, though there
we're seven young gentlemen connect

field as war correspondents, their ac-
counts of the engagement are SO con-
Trajectory as to be utterly worthless.
On one point they all agree-that the
contest was sharp, short and decisive.
The truth is, The General is q quick,
why, experienced old hero; and ii
didn't take MIN long to rout the Barn
