And hrniled In the burning sun;
He knew every players Christian name,
And, II any one scored run,
Hedanced and yelled and grew red In the face
And shouted and tossed his hat,
For he, as you have guessed, was a base
Bail crank-and they act like that.

over men and tents. musket stacks and
cook trenches. 1t is an actual fact that
he ran over little toraging pony that
was tied to tree and couldn't get out
OF the way, knocked TIE poor beast down
and crippled it for a week His head
way was terrific. He finally brought up
full tilt against a tough little hickory
sapling. which he ran down like moose,
landing up in the leafy top with his
hands clawing at the boughs.
He walked every man in the regi-
ment. Down the line went shouts and
bugle calls. Within ten minutes every
one of Prices 10000 men was in line of
battle, staring into the darkness for the
enemys advance guard, listening for the
purr of their silently fred bullets.
'Of course, the enemy did not come.
but the men lay on their arms all night.
Reuben was too tickled over the way
Bill tore through the brush to keep quiet.
Next day every man in the army had the
story. But it did not take well with
the officers A corporals guard came
after Reuben and put irons on him, and
his little joke was ponderously consider
Ell by court martial. That afternoon
came news of the enemy in deadly ear
nest. and Price set out on one of his
long, forced marches Reuben went
along. He took with him by especial re-
quest of the court martial a full sized
black oak fence rail, soggy with sap. He
was charged carefully not to lose that
rail for three days.
1.-The first day said the disconsolate
joker after it was all done, that rail felt
pretty heavy, just like an ordinary rail
Next day it felt like a whole tree, but

boys of Wiuston's regiment whether the
joke was on William or Reuben. Kan
