A Story About General Morgan.

Three men were telling war stories yes
friday. when one of them related an Incl
tent of General John Morgan's career that
has probably never been in print before.
Morgan was regarded by the Union sol
diers as holy terror" said one of the IA
nous cavalry leaders men, land stories
had been spread among them reciting how
he shot down his captives and gave mercy
to none. On the contrary, he was kind
hearted, us those who knew him can attest
He was fond of a joke, though On one of
our raids we captured about % Union men
near Murfreesboro, Tenn. They expected
nothing else than to be shot down after the
general had first eaten good meal They
began to talk about it so eXcitedly that
some one reported the matter to General
Morgan.
Walking from his tent he ordered the
prisoners to be drawn up in line Then
mounting his horse he rode to the center OF
the small column and said to them that
they must be acquainted with his methods
of getting rid of prisoners, and he personal
ly regretted that such fine looking body
of men had fallen into the hands of man
who, 1t was known to them all, sacrificed
human life as though he were shooting
down fatted calf
'One little Dutchman at the head of the
line grew weaker and weaker as the gener-
ais speech wore on until he finally burst
into tears, eXclaiming:
"'Oh, for Colts sake, vot will mine fam
lily doY'
THE generals heart was touched. Rid
ing up to the little Dutchman, he placed
his hand on his head and said:
why, God bless you, my man, l would
not harm hair of your head for my life.
You were all so scared on account of the
bad repute in which you held me that l
thought would play practical joke on
you. '"-Louisville Courier-J ournal
