 HIS PATRIOTISM.
0uUUHHuUUU . .

I genuine soldiers among the supernumer- l aries. When the Columbia Frawley man.
 agement undertook to put on the play 1t i canvassed the military market and l brought to bear all the influence at hand l to secure a number of men from Camp | Merritt so as to have background more l realistic. Through the kindness of one Of 1 the brigadier generals few squads Of | volunteers were loaned to the Frawley l Company for the Gallant Surrender | In order to make the soldiers as happy | as possible they were promised mid night supper every night at the concIu- sion of the performance Then the fraW- l lev management exerted little more of the vast influence which it controls A neighboring restaurGteur >s@1ss%@ e .s5- preached, and after much discussion he was persuaded to supply the volunteers with supper without charge-the motive, unalloyed patriotism. On Monday night the company of buecoats filed into the coffee house. There was a goodly num- Der of them, and the proprietor's blood felt a sudden chilling. Stil he could not repudiate his contract, though he might have pleaded lack of consideration. On Tuesday night he began to grieve and his patriotism went out with the time. "Mein Got" he said, wat will dose sol diers not do to me? I am patriotic American and I will gif dem all the coffee and sinkers they can eat, but, Gimini Christmas, I didn't dink a minute dere were twenty big, hearty fellows. But I guess I got to stand 1t now" A few hours later the boys came in for their nocturnal rations. The proprietor bid them a smiling welcome for about ten seconds. One after the other they filed in There were twenty the night before but there were twice twenty in this new lot The smile of the coffee and dough- nut dispenser soon faded giving way to ] the most awful and mournful expression l imaginable. "Goot Got kill me righd away. I don'd want to live anoder minud,''
 he cried out: ''Vat will bekom of me? I
 never said I would feed an army. Am 1 a commissary sergeant or a million 1 aire? There were twenty last nighd. l Will eighdy kom tomorrow nighd? Ask
 me dat, will your" The soldiers are a 1 sociable and a hospitable class; they l simply invited their friends.
