ing him wrong end up in the ditch, then
thinking he might want the mill they left
that near by, and imagining the lawyer S

safe travel by some of his clients, they
proceeded to widen the same by taking
out several lengths Of fence on one side OF
the gate, and finally brought up in his

The boys enjoyed themselves as usual
Halloween, at least they imagined they
did, but the victims of their FRANKS doubt
less see matters in another light. No one
objects to reasonable display of fun,
such as .he hanging of Hard Times on
the republican flag ropes. That was
very appropriate, for the republicans
would certainly hang hard times so high
as to be out of reach hereafter. But
when in pursuit Of fun" property is
willfuly and wickedly destroyed then it
is high time to call a halt. Boys remem-
Der this hereafter. How hard you must
have worked to tear down peoples fences
and root up portions of sidewalks

The way the thing happened was this:
Our section had been fighting Il alone in
a peach orchard until the other members
Of the battery Joined us, when we moved
forward and had quito a brisk engage
ment with the enemy. Our ammunition
expended and our men worn out, we
halted at a spot in the woods to rest and
to replenish our ammunition.
The fighting was going on all around
rs, and stray bullets were coming along
past us every now and then. don't b9-
heve I was ever 80 tired in my life as /
was after that engagement. It was abb
Folutely necessary for me to take rest,
and perceiving a huge tree near by |
concluded to plant myself along side Of
it. So leaned against it with my back
to the enemy's line, stretched out my
feet and was having splendid rest when
q 12-pound shot came bounding along
and struck the tree plumb on the oppo-
site side from me and at point just be-
hind my head.
Well, sir, / didn't know what struck
me. The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusaleml But didn't run from under
that tree, looking sideways up and ex-
pecting momentarily to see the whole
enormous mass Of wood and leaves come
crashing down on me. / didn't know
