When Gen. Malone first entered the
southern army he was an almost hope
less dyspeptic. He had suffered for
many years the uncertain and untimely
effects of that eXasperating malady.
He thought he should have fresh milk
every day in the field, for it had formed
part of his daily diet at home, SO he
took a COW into the army and carried
the beast with him all through the war.
Gen. Malone often related the annoy
ances the COW caused him. One time
Gen. Lee came TO him after the COW had
been in the way, and said: General,
you will have to leave that COW behind" !"

'If we cannot get along with the COW.
I will have to resign" So the cow re-
mained, and she was actually at Gen.
