81 AND THE MULES,
klegg'S Experience One Day as Com
pany TeamSter.

"I've got to have man to drive team for a
few days" said the Orderly of Co. Q of the
200th Ind, one morning at roll-cal. "The
teamster's sick, and I'm goin to send him to
the hospital to-day"
He didn't tell the boys what allied the team
ster, thinking, perhaps, that if he did no one
would want to take his place The fact was
that the heels of the "of-wheeler" caught
the teamster in the pit of the stomach and
doubled him up so badly that he wouldn't be
fit for duty for a week. 1t was worse than the
grecn-cOrn collie.
"'Tisn't every man." continued the Orderly,
" that's gifted with fUst-class talent fur drivin'
team. I'd like to find the best man to steer
them animals, an if there's a real sientifck
mule-whacker in this compny let him speak up
an I'll detail him right Off. It'll be soft
thing fur somebody; them mules are daisiesI"
Somehow they didn't all speak at once.
The company had only had the team two or
three weeks but the boys were not dull of
hearing, and ominous sounds had come to them
from the rear of the camp at all hours Of the
night-the maddening " Yee-haw-w-w!" of the
long cared brutes, and the frantic ejacula-
tiOns Of the teamsteT spiced with Oaths that
would have sent shudder through :" our army

pected, when so good chance was offered for

could think of. 81 hadn't yet learned to swear
with that wonderful and appalling proficiency
that was so soon acquired by the army team

was considered an invaluable accessory IN times
of great emergency.

REPEAL THE ARREARS LIMITATION.
1t is impossible to make any good defense
of the continuance of the limitation to the
Arrears OF Pension Law. If ever pension
was due man for his services and injuries
it is still due him or his legal representa-
tives. Such a debt cannot be outlawed
without dishonor The man who was
struck down by shell while confronting
Pickett's charge on Cemetery Ridge i'm
posed an obligation on the Government he
helped to save which it cannot decently
repudiate by any statute-of-limitations shuf-
fling. The strongest considerations and
decency and justice are on his side The
Government definitely contracted with him
to pension him in case he was injured while
doing duty for it, and the incurrence of that
injury is all that is required of him--tl e
Government must then do the rest, and any
attempt to slip out of doing its part is
disgracelul.
What possible excuse can there be for de-
nying now rights that were acquired then {?
The mans disability has not become any
less by lapse of years. but has in all proba-
bility increased. His sutierings have not

didly then, at the time the country needed

to make those who lave Disseminated so
insultingly against us feel the consequences
of their wrong doing. The exclusion of pro
ducts is game two can play at, and we can
play at it far more successfully than they
can, for the reason that the 6O,000,000 peo-
pie in this country buy greater amount of
European goods, and buy those upon which
greater profit is made than any other peo-
pie in the world. The American market is
the most desirable market for any European
manufacturer. Ten thousand American peo-
pie will buy more and better goods than
100000 of any other people. This is so clear
to anyone who thinks a minute that it
hardly requires stating to be perceived.
Several times Congress has been asked
to adopt such legislation as would
bring Europe to sense of the i'm
policy of continuing this course of con-
duct. President Arthur repeatedly asked
that power be given him to make discrim-
ination against the goods of those powers
which have Disseminated against us. Sena-
tor Logan introduced bill to the same pur-
port in the last Congress, and several Repre-
sentatives who have had the good of the
country thoroughly at heart have done like
wise, but Congress has failed to act.
We cannot continue to submit to this in
silence. We not only lose the immense trade
that should be ours by right, but we offer
an invitation to others to similarly curtail
our exports and infict without any danger Of
retaliation the greatest loss upon our people.
No Nation, with any self-respect, has ever
submitted to such blows at its trade when
it could resent them, and we will be want
ing in the first elements of national dignity
and proper regard for the interests of our
people if we endure them without some
manifestation of strong resentment.

81 thanked the veteran for these timely suG-
gestions in the way of language. and said ne
would remember them. He had no doubt thyy
would help him out next time.
They finally got the team united, and II
drove over to the company ground. The rc-i-
ment had been gone some time, detail hayii =

upon the road the mules plodded along withO

division train, and it vas noon before he got
well started.
Along toward evening 81 struck q section Of
old corduroy road through a piece of swamp.
The passage of the artillery and wagons had
left the road i'll wretched condition. The
logs were lying at all points of the compass or
drifting vaguely about in the mire, while here
and there were seas of water and pits of abysnial
depth.
To make the story short, Sis mules stumbled
and floundered and kicked, while 81 laid on
with the whip and used some of the words he
had learned from the old teamster before start
ing.
At length the wagon became hopelessly
stalled. The wheels sank to the hubs, and Si
yelled and cracked his whip IN vain. Perhaps
if he had had the old teamster there to swear
for him he could have pulled through, but as it
was he gave it up, dismounted, hunted dry
spot, and sat down to think and wait for some
thing to turn up.
Just before dark a large detail fron Co @
which had been sent back on an exploring ex-
pedition for ST and his team, reached the spot.
After hours of prying and pushing and tuggiug
and yelling they at length got the wagon over
tho slough, reaching camp about midnight.

resign my place as mule-driver. It's nice soft
