SATISFACTION At LAST
How Southern Veteran Repaid Old Scores
With Sac RiIl


"Well," began one of the guests at
the Hollenbeck last night. addressing
a knot of loungers who had been sitting
in the lobby exchanging hunting and
fishing stories until every man in the
crowd had convinced his listeners that
he was second Ananias, ''I suppose it
is my turn and I'm going to tell tale
that know every one here will believe.
mot long ago when I was in Wash
ington, d. c., used to see an old man.
or what at least bore some resemblance
to man, standing on Philadelphia
street with sign pinned on his coat,
which read Please help an old veteran
of the Grand Army He was a terrible
wreck. One leg had been shot off at the
knee, one arm had been lost, and three
fingers were gone from the other hand.
One of his ears had succumbed to bull
let and the whole side of his face was
terribly mangled. People often used to
drop nickels and dimes into the old
mans hat. On one occasion my atten-
tion was arrested by seeing an old SOL
dier, evidently a southerner, walk up to
this object of charity and, after scruti-
nizing him closely, press a crisp $40 bill
into the two fingers which served as
his only hand. Such a gift was entirely
unexpected, and the old man almost
broke down in an attempt to thank his
generous benefactor. oh, that's all
right responded the southerner in
satisfied sort of a way, and then he went
on in an almost gloating tone feasting
his eyes on the wreck before him. SO
you belonged to the Grand Army of the
Republic did you? Well, l belonged to
