General Charles King. one of the new
brigadiers, is more generally known as an
author of army stories than as a soldier.
Yet he is a soldier Of distinction as well as
a member of a famous American family,
prominent in public life for a century. His
grandfather, Rufus King, was a merchant,
lawyer, soldier of the revolution, congress-
man, senator and United States minister to
England. His father was a soldier in the
war of 1912, a distinguished Journalist and
president of Columbia college for many
years. Brigadier General King is a West
Pointer. While still a cadet he obtained
leave of absence to serve in the Army of
the Potmoac. After he graduated he served
in the regular artillery and cavalry and was
active in the western Indian wars. He has
been adjutant general of Wisconsin, as his
father was Of New York, has taught in
military schools, including that of West
Point, and has been inspector and instructor
of the volunteer militia for several years.
General King has been assigned to com
mand under General Merritt in the Philip
pines.

Is a story told OF a drummer boy in this

The men had orders at the time which
forbade foraging. The general met a
sturdy drummer boy carrying off roos-

sharply, and the boy, being caught in the
act had. no legitimate excuse. He looked
up shame-facedly, and said: well, Gen.
eral. you see this rooster got up on the
fence and hurrahed for jeff Davis, and
killed him.
A pious old Indiana farmer was assign
