KNEW WHAT GEE MEANT.

\ story from Atchison reminds John
Speer of another one. In 1856 Kansas
knew little about military tactics. for it
was long way out on the frontier. Some
one formed military company at To-
peka. He studied hard as captain to
remember the different commands, but
didn't succeed. One day he had his COM
p2ny out on parade. They were in sin
gle file and presently he saw that the
column was headed straight for an open
cellar. He tried To remember File
right. March, but he couldn't. The
first man in the column, one Captain
Frank Swift, a military man, was about
to march right into the cellar when the
captain yelled: Gee. Col durn ye, We
know what l meanr And they turned.
The Atchison story which brings this
out is as follows: Anton Ostertag be-
longed to Kansas company during war
times. The captain Of his company was
not too well up in his buyiness, and some
times got mixed up in giving orders.
One day number of big army officers
came along, and the company marched
out ID welcome them. In greeting the
officers the captain, in his excitement,
said: Right about, face" and the men
turned their backs on the distinguished
visitors, and presented arms. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that an impressive
effect was spoiled.
