The Captain as a Substitute.

Davy Jones was a bullet-headed,
long-necked, broad-shouldered, deep
chested Indianian, six feet three inches
from top to toe, who before the war
was considered a coed man in a tussle,
quarrelsome under the influence of
beer, but did not take high rank as an
influential citizen. When the war broke
out Dayy was one of the first to enlist,
and when the company organized for
the three months service left home.
Dayy carried the flag, and seemed to
have lost his boyishness and to be every
inch a soldier. lie served through the
three months service and entered the
three years service as second lieuten-
ant. Before the battle at Fort Donel-
son he was captain, and had grown
wonderfully in manliness. lie was a
tremendous fighter, and when the COM
pany was in an engagement always
carried musket and used it to good
advantage. At the battle of Fort
Donelson he was engaged in this way,
advising his men between shots, when
the colonel in passing reprimanded him
and ordered him to put down the muskeG
and take his sword. Captain Davy made
the change, but remarked; "a sword
is blamed poor implement for use at
long range" The colonel out of sight,
he resumed his musEet, and continued
TO use it to the end of the war. When
histime was out he returned to his ma
five town with proud record and set!
fled down to business. In the bank one
day he saw sorrowful-looking young
man come in to draw his last five
hundred dollars and heard in explana-
tion a story like this : "The young
man had wife and one child, He had
made one payment on his farm recently
purchased, and was just beginning to
ioe his way out of debt! when he was
drafted. lie had saved money enough
10 make the second payment on his
Farm. With this he could hire a
substitute. but if he did he lost his
farm If he made the payment and
won't himself, his farm would not pay
and he could not make the third pay
ment lie supposed he ought to go,
Int his wife was sick, was about to
bosome mother, and the very thought
If his going made her almost frantic.
Take What course he might, trouble
,aat him in the face. He had con-
nluded on his wife's account, to hire a
substitute and try and pull through"
This was the young mans story.
There was no bitterness against the
yernment-nora railing out against the
sSpa(t and no whining at Providence.
