is sometimes better than a gun, thinks the
Youths Companion. A Yankee drummer-boy
was out on q little foraging expedition during
the late civil war all by himself and had scaled
oristling picket fence to get at a tree full of
tempting, rosy apples He had flled his haver-
sack and his pockets, when he was suddealy
startled by a stentorian volcs: Drop them
apples, boy, and git, or yer dead yank."
Crashing through the tall weeds came the
owner of the apples, rife in hand The boy ran

On reaching the fence he grasped a post and
tried to climb over, but the pickets seemed to
have gained foot Ia hight and many degrees
In sharpness since he entered the orchard and,
as he scrambled over. one Of them managed to
insert itself between the small of his back and
his leather belt in such a way to hold him
suspended at the mercy OF his oncoming foe.
Git. tell you! Git. or I'll shoot" roared
the confederate
The boy looked over his shoulder, and. despite
the ugly rifle levelsd at his head, called out
good-humoredly ''Oh, see here. now. don't
shoot! Don't you see I'm on picket and can't
leave my post?'
The man lowered his gun, broad smile came
over his face and he answered. 'All right.
sonny, stick to your post a."
Then he turned and went away In the direc-
ton whence he had come, leaving the yankee
boy to get out Of his predcament as best he
could, which he finally did by cutting his belt
with his pocketknife.
