On the Wrong Track.

Captain O. ID. Evans of Peoria was a
nembe of the Grand Army committee
which inspected the soldiers home the
other day, says the Quincy Wing, and
while notwithstanding with a party OF
friends in the lobby Of the Newcomb told
a couple of storeies to explain the manner
i'm which the Eighth Missouri infantry
gained the reputation of being the biggest
thieves in the army. On one OF their
marches they passed n plantation and i'm
n sort of lean-to against a cabin close to
the road an old negro woman was cooking
corn pone and bacon. just as the head
Of the regiment got abreast of the shanty
aunty went into the house for something
or other and one OF the boys slipped into
the lean-to on a f%oraging expedition. He
Examined the stove and then called out
disgustedly:
''Boys. here's some mighty good grub,
but il isn't half cooked"
"Hold ON a minute well help you." was
the and he was Joined by q
cople of l is comrades. Then they picked
up the stove. bacon. corn pone. and all.
dtmped il into a wagon. piled in some

cooked.

pensities tn things tn eat. On another oc-

HOW TO UNMARRv.
An Effective Method which Was Not

An Effective Method which Was Not
Adopted.
My grandfather used to tell an amusing
story about an ignorant young couple in
his parish. says the author of "Remin-
iscences of n Literary and Clerical Life"
He had married them, but the marriage
was n failure; they could not get on at all
well together. They had vast. UNI
tor could do, and IL entered into
their foolish minds that he might be
able to undo their marriage. So they
them into church again and perform
some service which would set them free,
as they were before. The rector said,
musingly: "Well, 1 think il you co me to
church l could put you in the way of be-
coming unmarried. Also, il is curious
kind of business, and instead of coming
to the altar, as before, you will have to- go
into the belfry."
So the unhappy couple readily assented,
the church and the rector marched them
into the belfry. "iou see these two
trestlcs." he said. "the huspand will have
to stand upon one trestle and the wife
upon the other.'' Accordingly the hus-
band, with much wonderment stood
on a trestle and the wife
did the same. snow, each of
you take n bell rope i'm your hand" This
was done. snow, each of you tie the bell

'we should be hanging ourselves" L
actly." said the rector, that is what
mean. The only way by which you can
unmarry yourselves in church is by hang
ing yourselves in the belfry."
