The CoIonel,s Threat.

Colonel Duffy, of the Sixty-ninth
Regiment, now at Tampa, has found an
effective way to discipline incorrigibles
in his command The officer of the
guard brought before him an obstrep-
erous private.
Put him in the guardhouse," said
the colonel.
Its full" answered the lieutenant.
Set him to digging ditches'
"Shovels all in use, colonel"
Heavy marching order for two
hours, lieutenant" ordered the colonel.
"He has just recovered from sun
stroke, sir"
Bring him in" commanded Colonel
Duffy.
The culprit was brought in. He
stood def1antly before the commander
of the fighting Sixty-ninth.
Colonel Duffy pointed his finger at
the private and said in a tone of thun-
der:
Private, if you don't behave your
self you will be sent home!"
The mans jaw dropped, his defiance
melted away, and since that he has
been the meekest man in the regiment.

Those who keep sharp eye upon the
smart equipages at the summer re-
sorts will see the revival of the fashion
that held sway forty years ago. 1t was
then the style to have coach dogs"
running with the horses, and the new
est thing in driving is that the coach
dog" is to come in again.
How this animal, so fashionable in
the days of the fifties and the early
sixties, will harmonic with modern
turnouts, harness and liveries cannot
be told until he has become fairly
a fixture of the road. But the coach
dog" will, undeniably, be picturesque.
He is of a breed all his own, not at
tractive to the eye when alone, but a
good bit of color when under the
horses heels.
Few of the present generation have
seen a coach dog" and therefore
some slight description of his appear
ance and his duties will not be mis-
placed. In person the coach dog is
slender and ugly jowled. He may or
may not be of good size, but in any
event he is strong, and his muscles are
of steel. He is white, with black spots,
and frequently a muzzle of black.
As an actual fact he is purely orna-
mental, but in theory he is intended
as a protection for the horses, the car
riage and it's occupants. He originate
ed in the days when there's was always
the possibility of footpads, and he was
trained, in the event of surprise, to
spring at the robbers threats. This
his build well qualified him to do.
The coach dogs" place on the road
was under the horses very heels, run
ming rod for rod along with them, or
else under the carriage itself. Never
under any circumstances does prop
erly trained coach dog" run at the
side of the carriage or theshorses. Yet,
close as he is to the horses, he never
gets struck by their flying hoofs, nor
does he ever seem in their way.
There is curious companionship, in
deed. between the horses and dog Of
this sort, and a friendship between
them is soon sealed.

STORY OF A WAIsTcoAT.
How Major Gordon Found 1t and the House
Whore He Lay When Wounded.

How Major Gordon Found 1t and the House
Where he Lay When Wounded.
Major Eugene Gordon, of Athens,
Ala, was probably the best pleased
man of all the tens of thousands who
celebrated Memorial day in Washing
ton, D. c. Major Gordon had present
ed to him a waistcoat, covered with
blood stains, which had been taken
from his body when he was wounded
nigh unto death thirty-four years ago.
The circumstances of the recovery
revived flood of tender recollections
in the mind of the old Confederate
veteran. He was entertained in the
home to which he was taken to die in
1854 by the good woman who at that
time, though stranger, was minister
ing angel to his needs.
On Memorial day, while the graves Of
the thousands who died for the Union
were being strewn with flowers, the
Confederate Veterans association and
the Ladies' Southern Aid society as
sembled in Grace Church cemetery, in
Woodside, to decorate the graves of
seventeen unknown Confederate dead
who lost their lives in Early's raid
upon Washington, in 1864.
Major Eugene Gordon, who happened
to be in Washington, went out to this
particular place with the vague hope
that he might possibly find the house
or at least see the locality of his early
experiences. Much inquiry among his
older friends of war time failed to de-
velop any tangible suggestion of the
looked for home After the services,
he was invited, with Major Robert w.
Hunter, of Washington, into the home
of the Wilson's. Mrs. Laura A. Will
son and her charming daughters re-
ceived them.
During the conversation Mrs. Wilson
said to Major Gordon; Were you not
a Confederate officer and were you not
wounded near here during the war? ?"
