A Tale OF a Shirt.

Iowa statesman, wore garment is at

interesting. General Sherman and
Dean had been friends for years, and
when Sherman became general and
Dean happened to be in Washington,
tho latter, naturally enough, felt desire
to renew the acquaintance. So he
called at Sherman's house, and was
received by the general with open arms.
They talked over old times and nothing
would do but Dean must stay to dinner.
The chronicle continues in this strain
"But, general" demonstrated Mrs.
Sherman in her husbands ear, 81 can't
have such dirty-looking man at my
table; can't you spruce him up little?'
The general said he'd Tx that, and 80 at
an opportuno moment he hustled Mr..
Dean upstairs, ransaeked q bureau and
produced clean shirt for him TO put
on. Mrs, sherman was modified, and
the dinner was really charming affair,

scream. "WhAt is it. my dear 2" called
the general from the next room. Just

Sherman between faint gasps. The
general went in. There stood Mrs.
Sherman holding in Der left hand the
