stationed at Middletown for time. and
he enjoyed the comforts of home as best
he could.
One day young lady friend Of the
family visited his house. Her heart was
down in Dixie and she sought relief in
music Seating herself at the piano she
played number OF selections which were
not prescribed and finally allowed her
fingers TO glide through the Union lines

accosted Mr.. Watkins and demanded that
the playing OF the obnoxious compost ion
be stopped forthwith.
You are In power now and l she'll
have TO obey" answered Mr. Watkins.
But this war will end some day and
then, you blankety- blank, / shall call

Crofton az the time receiving their orders
Lieutenant Welsh suddenly approached
Colonel Crofton in low tone. The two
walked some distance apart from the 9TH
ers, still conversing in the low tone. Sud
denly the lieutenant was seen TO strike
his superior officer a blow full in the face
with his fist
1t was a powerful blow, and Colonel
