there they were lined up, the Ver-

tasteless. He also has large collec-

PIE IN THE CIVIL WAR.
An Instance When the Bug-a-BOO Of
Poisoned Pie Didn't
Work.

''The first month out, in the other
war, but few pies were eaten by the
green troops.2 After that no pie dealer
got away from camp with any of his
stock. - %r
''Fhe officers, and especially the sur
geons, did not want the men to eat
pies. Mysterious reports of poisoned
pies were started whenever we stopped
for day or longer. Such and such
re egiments had lost men by the pois-
cned pie route. These stories did their
work for a time. One day / heard the
colonel say to oup surgeon: Doctor,

"'No. sir; but will do so at once
81 sleuthed the heels of the surgeon
until he had told half dozen captains
and lieutenants to sound the alarm on
pies. One of them asked him what he
should say. oh, say that Mansfeld's
brigade lost ten men day before yes

LINCoLN'S JOKE.
sponsibiIity for the Loss
of Harper's Ferry.

President Lincoln's jokes, especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grave matters, usually had purpose
in them. After Lee had taken Harper's
Ferry, the president, realizing how
great a calamity it was to the north
ern arms, determined, if possible, to
fix the responsibility for the loss of the
important position.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
quite know where the blame lay.
Very WE'LL" said Lincoln, "I'll ask
Gen. Schenck.' The latter could throw
no light upon the question further
than to say that he was not to blame.
Milroy was the next to be called to
the presence ut the commander-in-
chief, and to enter plea of "not
guilty" Hooker was next given
hearing and Fighting Joe made very
emphatic disclaimer of all response
bility.
Then the president assembled the
four generals in his room and said to
them: Gentlemen. Harper's Ferry
was surrendered and none of you, it
seems, was responsible. I am very
anxious to discover the man who is"
After striding across the room several
times the president suddenly threw up
his bowed head and exclaimed: II
have it. | know who is responsible"
"Who, Mr.. President, who is It ?''
asked the distinguished quartette, as
they looked anxious, if not troubled.
Gentlemen" said the president,
with meaning twinkle in his eye,
| Gen. Lee is the man"
There was lack of mirth in the laugh
created, and the four generals took
their departure with determination
that they would not again be placed
under suspicion.-Detroit Free Press
