IN ANDERSONVILLE.
The Lawyer Questioned the Veteran Too
Closely.

/ The Lawyer Questioned the Veteran Too
Closely.
A case was on trial in a Kentucky
courtroom An old man of somewhat
disreputable appearance had just given
important testimony, and the lawyer
whose cause suffered by his statements
strove in every way to confuse and trip
him, but in vain. The witness stuck to
his story, and did not lose his temper in
spite of the irritating manner in which
the cross-examination was conducted.
Finally, in the hope of breaking down
the credibility of the witness, the law
yer at venture asked:
Have you ever been in PRISON."
81 have, . replied the witness.
''Ah," exclaimed the attorney, with
triumphant glance at the jury. Il
thought as much. May / inquire how
long you We're there?"
Two years and three MONTHS" an
swered the witness, quietly, with man
ner that was interpreted by the lawyer
as indicating chagrin at an unexpected
exposure.
Indeed" said the delighted lawyer,
feeling his case already won. THAT
was heavy sentence. ! trust the jury
will note the significance of the fact,
Now, sir tell the jury where you were
confined"
I'm Andersonville," replied the old
man, drawing himself up proudly.
There was a moment of silence, the
jurors looked at each other, and then
the courtroom rang with cheers which
the court officers were poweriess TO
check, and in which some of the jury
joined.
The too inquisitive lawyer hardly
waited to hear the verdict against him

Grandfather's Story OF xanthus' Famous
Servant and His Two Dinners.

Grandfather's Story Of xanthus' Famou
Servant and His Two Dinners.
Now for the story, grandfather,
said Flossie, as she drew her chair clos
to her grandfather's knees. "You know
you promised us a brand-new story to
night if we were good to-day; mamma
will tell you l haven't been at al
naughty this day.
''And / have not missed a word in any
of my lessons to-day chimed in Bob
81 know grandfather will say that il
good"
Quite right" replied grandfather
''and now you shall hear the story:
"A philosopher named Xanthus dc
sired to have feast for some of his
friends, and he ordered his chief servant
provide the best things in the mar.
'The servant thereupon brought a
great number of tongues, and instructed
the cook to serve them up with differ.
ent sauces. When the feast was ready,
the first, second and third courses. the
side dishes and the desserts We're ali
tongues.
''Xanthus was greatly enraged. Did
not order you, said ne, TO but the best
things the market afforded?'
" And replied the servant. have
not obeyed your orders, Master Kan
thus? Is there anything better than
tongues? Is not the tongue the bond of
civil society. the key of sciences, and the
organ of truth and reason? BY means
of the tongue cities are built. govern
ments established and instructed; with
the tongue men persuade, instruct and
preside in assemblies
"'Well, then, said Xanthus, thinking
to catch him, this same company will
dine with me tomorrow; and as | wish
TO diversity my entertainment, go to
market again and buy the rorst things
you can find
The next day his servant again pro-
vided nothing but tongues.
Nautilus, in a violent passion, de
manded an explanation.
Master, said the servant. is there
anything worse than tongues Is not
the tongue the instrument of all strife
and contention, the fomenter OF law
suits, and the source of divisions and
wars? Is it not the organ of error, of
lies, Of ealumny. of blasphemy?'
'Nanthus said no more. The servant
had convinced him that the tongue,
when used Alright, could be truthfully
considered the best thing in the world,
and the worst Of all things when put to

assistant surgeon in the confederate
service, was stationed at Towards
Grove hospital, near Richmond. Shortly
after ! went there it became an Ala

my rounds one morning | noticed
among the new cases a scrawny, sallow,
thin checked fellow. He was an insig-
nifcant-looking youngster, and | was
not much surprised when, in response
to question: was making up the hos
pital record-he said he was fifteen
years of age. When asked him what
his command was he said, "The 18th
Alabama" and then gave his rank as
captain. He was such a poor, puny

at last told him that if he improved
as rapidly in the next twenty-four
hours as he had previously | would re
port him He held me to my promise
and was reported IS fit for duty. While
he was in line with others who were
about to be discharged the hospital
