1t Was a Coincidence.
New York Telegram

It was in an Ohio town where q
soldiers reunion was being held. Two
strangers looked long and fixed across
had an empty sleeve and the other q
woo len leg.
Say, haven't we met before 2"
eueried one, at last.

WASN'T it during the war;"
''You bet"
WASN'T it at second Bull Run?"
''Kerect you are"
"Ah! It all comes to me now. The
union lines made desperate charge,
but were forced back. A bullet
smashed my arm and left me lying on
the field"
"Jess so, to dot" observed the
other. II was helpin' to drive you
Yankees back when bullet entered
this ERE leg, and I was ker Topped"
Yes, yes! You were calling for
water, and had none. Amid the
shrek of shot and scream of shell [
crept over to you, and you drained
my canteen."
Il reckon [ did; and we lay thar,
side by side, nigh unto midnight.
What coincidencep
What a meetingp
"Put it thar?"
''Shake!"
And there was not dry eye in the
dining>room. This would have been
according to Hoyle and as proper as
peanuts, but somebody had to get up
and iuoIIira what euinentS thew he's
longed to, and dead silence followed.
Then somebody else remembered that
the one had lost his leg at barn
raising and the other his arm in q
guano factory, and the sad tears were
suddenly wiped from every eye, and a
dozen people remarked that they could
beat any such coincidence any morn
ing before breakfast.

Frederick County, Md, near the pres

couple of houses. and is rather well
provided for. He remembers all the
wars in which this country has been
engaged, and is quite weather

white and colored people that liquor
