Certainly I did, replied Joe. "He

A JOKING SOLDIER.



Everything.
Only this week was reading Gen.
DoubledSy's story of Gettysburg, and
the day before I had seen the old Gen
eral on the street His presence in
New York and his book combine to re-
call to my mind very practical joke
that was played upon him at Gettys-
burg by Capt. Joe Parker, of Gen.
Hancock's staff. Col. Billy Wilson and
Joe Parker were Gen. Hancock's pets.
They were both young, full of mischief,
and only saw the ludicrous side Of
everything, no matter how serious.
In the very white heat of the battle
on Cemetery Hill on July 3, 1868, Gen.
Hancock was severely wounded, and
Capt Parker Immediately rode off to
lind Gen. Doubleday, who was the
senior division commander, and put
him in command of the Second Corps.
He found Doubleday sitting under a
big tree. He saluted him quickly and
said
"Gen. Doubleday, Gen. Hancock has
been very seriously wounded, and you
Just at that moment, before he had
time to finish the sentence, "assume
command of the CORPS" she'll burst
directly over the General. The shock
half stunned him, and he fell over, ex-
claiming:
"Oh, I am killed am killedw
Capt Parker couldn't resist this op-
portunity for q joke, and he rode off
rapidly in search of Gen. Gibbon. He
found him, reported to him that
Doubleday had been killed, HancocI,
had been wounded, and that he was to
take command of the corps. The news
spread rapidly that Doubleday was
dead. and Capt. Parker SO reported to

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take dose or so of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel well Immediately. True,
some do find marvelously speedy effects
from its use, but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow

if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the

many females are afflicted. But the

The result was substantially uniform eN-

generally expressed the opinion that the
law had been beneficial and the decrease in
crime and consequent lessening of expenses
for criminal and eleemosynary institutions
was largely due 10 the prohibitory law.
