How many side.splitting anecdotes
are stored away In the memories Of our
old volunteer veterans!
In the early part Of year 1868 some
three or four regiments were sent out

the road leading from Nashville IA

for Captain and n very phlcgmatic first
Lieutenant Between this Captain aud
Lieutenant deadly enmity existed. M
communications would puss between
them except rs were strictly Official.
The Lieutenant would not mess with
the Captain, but boarded with the
sutlcr. The sutlcr had pitched his camp
just outside the nbntis that surrounded
the fort, where the Lieutenant boarded
aud lodged, The fort guards were sta
toned upon their beats just within the
nbntis
One day this Captain was officer Of the

his phlegmati, Lieutenant Weakened
upor not cannot say, but he instructed
the guard II any officer passed the
guard without saluting, 10 shoot him
on the spot. That morning the Licutcn-
ant was slowly proceeding, with his
head down, from his lodgings to visit
his company, and passed by the gunrd
without salutlng him.
"llnltl' said the guard.
The Lieutenant looked up, IN seeming
surprise, and seeing the command was
addressed Ia him said'

The guard answered;
The officer Of the day has given tho
guard orders to shoot any officer who
passes without saluting"
"Who II your officer Of the dny2" in
