How Sheridan Got to West Point.

Congressman Tom Campbell relates the
following told him by tho late General
Phil Sheridan
when Phil Sheridan was IS years old,
tho congressman in his district in Perry
county, o., the place of Phil's birth, had
an elephant on his hands in the shape of a
West Point cadetship to give away"
quotes the New York World.
Democratic chairmen from five coun-
tics zach had applicants to urge, and to
each the congressman was under obliga-
tions. But to recognize one was to offend
the other four. One day the congressman
was walking along tho country road, near
Somerset, revolving the problem in his
mind, when he met Farmer Sheridan,
with whom he was slightly acquainted.
Good morning, congressman, said
Mr. Sheridan.
Good morning, was the reply.
when he had gone few PAGES, he
stopped suddenly, and called out;
BY the way, Mr.. Sheridan how many
boys have you"
~ have two fine boys, your honor
was the reply. Mike and Phil
How would you like to have one Of
them sent to West Point for military cd
ucation at the governments expense?'
"'Well, replied Mr. Sheridan slowly,
they are both a help, but 1 wouldn't
mind.
All right; which ono shall take?
Depends, was tho reply. Mike is the
smartest. He's got head for learning,
but if you want a fighter, reckon Phil Is
the enc you want.
And that was how Phil Sheridan got
an education at West Point"
