Sleeping in a Ha m m ock.

II see they say that soldiers in Cuba
ought to sleep in hammocks for their
health's sake" said veteran of the
civil war. II never slept in ham,
mock but once, and that was when l
was in the army at the time of the civil
war. But my purpose in sleeping in q
hammock was not to guard against
malaria or dampness or anything of
that sort, because we were at that time
in a.settled camp that was tolerably
salubrious, and where we had beds
raised off the ground, made Of barrel
slaves, cracker box covers, and one
thing and another; my hammock was
solely for comfort. 1t was very hot
in the tent, and thought I might be
a little cooler in hammock, and made
one myself out Of a blanket.
''There was plenty Of wood around
where we were then, and we. that is,
the folks in our tent, had set up a cou-
pie Of tall, stout posts about six feet
apart alongside of our tent and strung
a line between them to hang our wash
ing on. I used these two posts for
hammock posts. I took down the
clothesline and tied piece Of good,
stout cord around each end of my blan-
'ket, leaving plenty Of end on each, and
then l made these ropes fast securely
around the posts, pretty we'll up, and
then I was all right; all had to do was
to get in and 60 to sleep.
"But had the greatest time getting
into that hammock you ever heard of,
