SWAPPING YARNS.
One Is Told of n Remarkable Exper-
ience of War Times and Whisky.

ience of War Times and Whisky.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
1t is curious how things fall out in this
world, especially on suburban trains. One
evening last week a party of students from
one of the universities began swapping
yarns. First one would take his turn at
telling a story, and then the next would
entertain the crowd for a few minutes.
The talking was necessarily loud. in order
to be heard above the rumble of the cars.
The passengers could hear quite well, and
not a few became interested and laid aside
their papers to listen.
Now, I'm going to make mine war
story, boys" began the third student in a
high-pitched voice.
You know in war times whisky was
scarce and the soldiers resorted to all sorts
of strategems to get dram. One day one
of the boys said to friend in another reg
iment: Say, I'll give you 81 If you'll get
me a half pint of whisky Done! replied
the friend. Give you that whisky before
night But before night one of the regi-
ments had orders to move, and the thirsty
man was left without the whisky and with
out the dollar. Now. the curious part of II
Is that at a reunion thirty years after the
man who was to have had the whisky was
telling the story to comrade. OF course.
he said, laughing, I've never seen that fel-
low who promised me the whisky from tina,
day to this
"Just then a man with one sleeve empty
stepped up and said: Weren't you in such
and such a regiment, and don't you remeur
ber giving another soldier 81 for half a pint
of whisky Yes And the regiment
moved off and you never got the whisky !?
Yes Well. I'm that soldier, and L got
that pint of whisky. and I've been carry
ing it ever since and he pulled the flask
from his pocket" The student finished
amid the plaudfts of his companions.
An old fellow in front had been chuck
ling gleefuIly behind his newspaper. He
turned around and yelled heartily: Pretty
good, young man: pretty good. You've got
things straight. I'm the man that paid for
the whisky!'
