In Austin it is impossible to ascertain
when any particular train leaves,
without going to the depot and IN
quiring of the ticket agent how many
hours behind time the train is. Col.
Yerger wished to go to San Antonio
on the eleven-o'clock train, so he said
to his colored servant:
"Sam, go down to the depot and
see what time the leven-o'clock train
leaves"
1t was about three o'clock when
Sam returned.
"Well, when does the train leave ?"
"It's done left, boss"
"What ?"

tole me ter see when de train left, and
| watched it till it was plain outer

Col. CLEpMoRE, editor of the Daily
Blae Wing, went fishing one Sunday
and broke his leg. The Rev. Mr..
Gidfelt heard of the accident, and in
his Sunday evening sermon said ::
"Here we have striking example of
the retributlon following the violation
of the Sabbath. If Col. Clepmore
had been at church he would not have
broken his leg" The following Sun
day, as Rev. Mr.. Gidfelt was ascend
ing the steps of the pulpit, he step
ped on piece of orange peel, drop
ped by a child of the Sunday school,,
slipped. fell, and broke his leg. The
next issue of the Blue Wing contain

striking example of the retribution
following self-appointed censorship.

"Ah, yes; and where are the other

l looked after him as he limped
away. His gait was ungraceful, be-
cause he has IL stiff knee, stiff as a
bone. 1t was shattered at Antietam.
The bullet went crushing into it
when he ran back to pick up and
save the regimental flag that had fall
len from the dead hand Of the color
sergeant.
But I wondered no longer that Pri-
vato Rankanfile seemed lonely. He
is thinking, perhaps, of his comrades,
the other privates in his regiment.
There were several private soldiers in
the army. Rankanfile, whom | know,
was one. The name Of the other one
has escaped me. Nor do [ know
where he is. He doesn't appear to
be Consul at any place.
And yet, if he would only come
forward and show himself, a grateful
country has remembered him. He
can secure Il farm of 160 acres in the
far West, after the railroads have Sc
cured all the best sections, twenty
miles from the nearest postotfice,
| twice so far from water, and as far as
railroad can run in day from a
coal bank or forest, on precisely the
same terms as are accorded to man
who has been on this land fifteen
minutes. 1t is boon, and the prl-
vate soldier should appreciate it. And
undoubtedly he does-in a quiet way.
| He does not make much fuss about
it. And really there isn't very much
to grow enthusiastic about.
But the private soldier, though he
is exceedingly rare and marvelously
scarce ut intervals is not entirely lost.
In the days gone by, when the private
soldier was more numerous than to-
day, very nearly one thousand of him
were required to make one Colonel
More than many times that many are

Something Perhaps He Would Eat.

Heard good story on West End
minister one day last week. He is a =
vegetarian Of the strictest order, and
in the course of his pastoral career
he was invited out to a Sunday dim
ner by one Of the sisters of the flock,
whose name for the nonce shall be
Brown. Old man Brown didn't go
to church that morning. HIS wife
told him to expect her to bring home
company to dine, and he, with the
aid of the cook, laid the foundation
for a superb repast. Mrs. Brown
came home. but all the company she
brought was the minister. They
were seated at the table, when this
sort of conversation ensued:
"Mr. JONES'" meaning the min
lister, "what part of the chicken do
you like best ?' , ,sa IS rarI2
"Really, Mr.. Brown, I don't care
about any chicken" '-i1a- 81
"Well, here is some fine roast beef;
try some Of this" ;fa"a'Ala@ SD
-"Excuse me, Mr.. Brown, I will
forego the beef" s4 p.
81 have some tender lamb here
how will that suit?'
81 never eat lamb
"Well now, | know you can't re- g
fuse this boiled ham,"
"Pardon me, but ham l never
touch" .....-
During all this time Browns
father, an old gray-haired sinner,
had been seated near him watching
operations, and standing it as long as
he could, squeaked out in piping
voice -..
"John, maybe the - fool will
suck an egg?'' .-.. -
The enjoyment of that dinner was
spoiled.-Cinclnnati Enquirer.
