"And how many wonderful adventures
and narrow escapes have you exper-
ienced?' one of us asked the Colonel, who
had not spoken for some time, though we
were telling stories Of moving accidents
by food and field, of which he must have
had his share as brave soldier first and
since as journalist and lawyer.
''Three," he replied sententiously, and
after pause went on. ''The first was
at Bull Run. 1t was very simple and not
impressive in the telling. At the time
when a retreat had been ordered, or be-
gun without tho order more likely, I
found myself separated from my COM

Have you ever known . woodchuck to

have not, though have seen one, ap-
parently rabid, attach a msa without

woodchuck's groveling soul some capac-

has trained a couple of them as pets. And
though have never seen them, I know
they must be well behaved pets, for Ger
tain photograph of them, with their gra-
cious mistress In the modes6hackground,

the woodchucks had behaved admirably

not unlike dogs in their attitude towards

souls are really not gfsveling at all in
spite of their underground ways.
Another photograph 81 this summes
