Soldiers Column.
A Sheridan Story.

To show the care and interest Gen
eral SheridBu took in the welfare of his
command and his attention to the little
details which few general officers would
take the trouble to bother themselves
with, Mr.. Evans made a note of the
following: II was riding along about
the middle of the column one day, after
we had started from Camp Supply, on
the way to Fort Cobb, when a soldier,
as ] supposed, of the regulars came
up alongside of me and entered into
conversation. ! was a mere boy, and
that fact, perhaps, enlisted his SYM
pathies. We chatted for quite a long
time, and finally, noticing the manner
in which my saddle blanket was folded,
he suggested that il would iniure my
horse--that he would soon have a sore
back that might be difficult to cure un-
der the circumstances we were COM
PEELED to meet. l continued to ride
with it folded that way, saying, rather
indifferently, that | knew there was a
proper way to fold it. He then said
that if l would dismount he would
show me that proper way Accord
ingly, at the kind suggestion, dis
mounted, he getting off his horse at the
same time, and stood by and watched
him unsaddle my animal, take the
blanket and fold itin the regulation man
ner, then place the saddle back on the
.Mexse. Then we mounted and | rode
on, arriving at headquarters in a short
time. Then l discovered, to my amaze
ment, that my whilom groom of an
hour before was the acknowledgement
of the army, the famous General Sher-
idsn. | had never seen him before we
met in that casual way, and l guess
my establishment was plainly visible on
my youthful features as l gazed with
wonder and admiration upon him when
/ heard the officers call him General
Sheridan and saw them salute him with
the utmost respect.-KanSaS City Star.

Preach Truth.

The way to preach down error is to
preach up truth. Never tackle Satan
unless you are sure you can lay him.
A great many men by opposing error
have magnilied it, have given dignity
TO a hitherto unseen and comparatively
unknown foe. The most that church.
going people have learned of some
forms of error they have learned from
Christian pulpits. Now, the Christian
pulpit is not erected to preach evils,
but to preach the glory of God. In
fidelity is noisy, but it is shallow. It's
a failure, an ignominious failure. Alittle
time ago in the history of New York,
Thomas Paine said: in five years
there will not he Bible in America. s"
How we smile to-day when we read his
ords!-Dr. II. S. StOrrs.

What Might Have Happened.

Toward the close of the contest Con
the first days battle at Gettysburg
Hancock rode up and told me that he
had been sent to assume command of
the field. He was our good genius, for
he at once brought order out of confu-
sion and made such admirable DISPOSE
tions that he secured the ridge and held
it, AS he was junior in rank to Gen
eral Howard, he had no right, techni-
cally speaking, to supersede the latter.
Meade had assigned him to that duty,
it is true, but under the law only the
president himself could place junior
general over a senior. Howard did not
recognize him as his superior, and /
think that Hancock, as he rode over to
me, was in some doubt whether | as
commander of the First corps, would ac-
knowledge him as Towards superior.
Had | refused to do so the battle of
Gettysburg, in all probability. would
have had different termination. AS
Hancock ranked me, however, the
question did not concern me personally
md / saw plainly enough that if re-
used to acknowledge the delegated au-
GRITTY, both the First and Eleventh

Sherman and the Drummer BOy.

Sherman never forgot that little
drummer boy who came to him in the
hot fight at the rear of Vicksburg, and
when it came in his power he had the
youngster appointed to the naval
academy at Annapolis. The troops
were in the heat of the engagement,
when Sherman heard shrill, childish
Toice calling out to him that one of
the regiments was out of ammunition
and that the men would have to aban-
don their position unless he sent to
their relief. He looked down, and
there by the side of his horse was
mite of boy, with the blood running
from wound in his leg. "All right,
my boy" said the general, "I'll send
them all they need, but as you seem to
be badly hurt, you had better 90 and
find surgeon and let him fix you up"
The boy saluted and started to the rear,
while Sherman prepared to give the re-
qhired order for the needed ammuni-
ton. But he once more heard the pip
] ig voice shouting back at him: " Gen
eral, caliber fifty-eight. CALDER fifty
eight" CHANGING back, he saw the
little fellow, all unconscious of bis
wound, running again toward him to
tell of the character of the ammunition
needed, as another size would have
been of no use, and left the men as
badly off as before. Sherman never
could speak too highly of the little fell
lows pluck; he asked him his name,
complimented him, and promised to
Keep an eye upon him, which he did.
