Both Wonderful, Especially the One
AbOut Firing at u Puff Of Smoke.
"When | was commanding q cavalry
outpost during the war, said the cap
tain, a former Confederate officer, IA
nous for his remarkable war stories
1--WE were camped near Salem, Va,
and it was the only time before, O,
since, that Virginia has had such
heavy rains. We were wet through
and through, and almost dead from ex.
posure. | had ceceived for my own
use e-gallon keg of prime old Ken.
lucky whiskey from an old friend, but
before i had a chance to sample the Ii.
quor was obliged to ride out on scout
"All during that rido | was chuck.
ling to myself at the treat I'd give the
boys when we got back, and, Incl.
dentally, how l would enjoy some OF
the contents Of that keg myself. Wcll,
sir, when we came back after a five.
hours ride in that rain, soaked
through, hungry and disgusted, | told
the men about that keg Of old John
Barleycorn. Diu they smile? 1t was
the nearest approach to a laugh that
had been heard in that section of the
country for many day.
Upon dismounting, all gathered
around my tent. | entered, grabbed
tin cup, smiled and turned the
spigot. But not drop ran out. |
pulled the air-plug from the top, but
there was only the tantalizing odor of
the good old red eye kentucky alone
brews. The men were muttering at
what they called my ill-timed Joke.
The disappointment was greater than
grieved humanity could bear.
Suddenly | turned, saw soldier
happy in his steadiness, in front of a
tent about fifty feet from me. In all
that outpost the only whiskey seen in
two weeks was that which | had re-
ceived. Twas but moment to con-
meet the effect and cause. found
three heavy sleepers in that tent the
ground was wet with rare, soft LIQUOR,
every tin wash basin, cup and vessel
was filled with that heavenly LIQUOR.
The secret was out, so was the whis-
key. | investigated and found that
these men had learned of my having
the keg, had cut some long rice straws,
made conduit fifty feet in length by
joining them together, tapped the keg
and run the whiskey into their own
tent that long distance away"
The captain stopped, lighted his ci-
gar anew, while his auditors nervous
ly shifted their positions. None spoke
for Il full minute. Then the little man
who had tramped the region abont Sa-
lem under odd Glory asked in n
mild and apologetic voice, Captains
what docs the rice crop amount to
now around the Salem country 2"
No rice was ever raised there or
said the doughty but
forgetful warrior.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1895-01-18

The painful silence was finally
broken by the captain himself, who
spun another yarn, which was as fol-
lows:
when was commanding cavalry
outpost during the war l had occasion
to make "a personal examination of the
land. | rode with my orderly to a
knoll some half mile from camp, and
leisurely began to study my position
with the aid Of a field glass.
Suddenly | jerked my head back
involuntarily, and whiZz went sing
ing rifle bali so close to my ear that
could feel the wind of it's flight. A
puff of smoke was the only evidence OF
six times, did this involuntary muscu-
lar action take my head backward
from the line of the shot and saved my
life. | mover could explain or under
stand that Providential muscular ac-
| tion. Turning to my orderly, | seized
his carbine, aimed at that smoke a
mile away, fired, and all was still
| again. No more shots came and we
returned to camp. In the afternoon a
party OF Us rode over the country, and
coming to the spot where the shots
had come from in the morning, heard
grOan5.
~ They proceeded from a wounded
He said he had fired several shots at a
Confederate officer or yonder knoll,
but had not been able to hit him,
though he had good range aud was
considered % wonderful sharpShooter,
and the reb had fired but one shot mt
him and that with direful results. The
ball buried itself in his leg, cutting
one OF the main arteries. The man
was beyond human help. We gave
him water and he soon lost all signs OF
| life. We rode away ana left all that
was mortal of the poor follow behind
that fence"
This tale was too much. Ono by
one the smokers arose and moved to-
wards the door in silence deep and
think ativc. The first man to reach
the door turned, aud in rich New
England twang, shouted, "I've been
called liar for telling that story, cap
tain, but I'm the sharpshooter you kill
ed that day."

The Wedding March.

The groom and his supporters greet the

EThe swelling music trembles as are touch

But the tremble isn't in it with the shake

Down the aisle the blushing maids pro
ceed with stately tread,
And each regrets the day is not the day

But there's u silver lining to the cloud that
hovers Ger
They know they never looked so sweet i'll
all their lives before.
And now the organ thunders forth wei

A hundred heads are turned to see the
bushing bride appear,

long and dizzy aisle,
Will support her and her husband, too, III
