Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-08-19

A good story is told of one Of Cen
eral Sherman's Missouri transfers.
He had just Joined the service, a raw
recruit, and was assigned to the task
of driving a six-mulc team. When the
army halted for the first night he was
YEARLY embarrassing his team.
"Hullo, there" said the wag Of the
company, in passing. What do you
mean by taking care Of those mules
yourself? Why don't you have the
hostler do itr
"Why, thought every man had to
take care Of his own team" said the
bewildered teamster.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got
hostler for that. There's his tent,
right over there. He's lazy, contra
ry old cuss and he may not want to
do it; but you swear at him and he'll
move Off ut double quick"
The Missourian strobe over to the
tent indicated, which happened to be
General Sherman's headquarters.
Here, you son-of-a-gun," he roared
fiercely, "get out of here and brush
those mules"
Needless to say, the teamster spent
the evening in the guardhouse.-Chi.

had 1t.
You didn't choose one Of these traps
when you got out of the car. The boy
chose you. After one experience you
would cling to your savior and follow
him thankfully to his conveyance. For,
as you stepped down from the car you
got into a yelling, bowling mob Of
"niggers and po' white trash" Of all
ages and sizes, each Of whom was
shouldering long whip which the fe-
rocity Of his expression would lead you
to believe he might at any moment lay
about your shoulders II you declined his
invitation.
They would spot an unoffending visi-
tor and dozen beet him at once, each
trying to be the first to touch him.

C followed trusting In Providence to
keep them in the right way, that they
could not themselves see. For them
there was no relief from the dusty trail,
but the President at last ordered halt
and put himself in advance of his es-
cort of honor, whereby If there was
less regulation there was certainly
more comfort.
Troops A and C were always, liter
ally, falling over themselves on drill,
for any quick manoeuvre brought the
same old dust clouds that man
couldn't see through any more than he
can see In fog and sometimes when
the order was given to halt after rapid
movements 1t wasn't heard by those in
the rear who came tearing on and rode
down their stationary comrades in a
way that resulted in general melee
and some remarks that won't be found
in regulations.
The horses really suffered from the
dust, and the public animals which
we're rarely properly watered, some
times plugged along with outhanging
tongues caked with brown dust until
some sympathetic onlooker made the
driver water them well. Among the
motley array OF carriages there were a
few boxes and great wagons made into
coaches. and ON these sometimes, but
not often, four horses were put. Even

HERE AND THERE.

On all postage stamps Of Guasemala
is engraved a somewhat distorted rep
resentation Of the quezzel, which y
rightly sailed the bird Of liberty, as Il
dies almost Immediately when cap
tured. So extreme is its love Of free
dom that If captured and In n few Sec
onds restored to liberty 1t would seem
as If the contamination Of the hand
could not be removed, and 1t will drop
lifeless after flying but few yards. II
1t is caught In a trap 1t is always found
dead. and when the young are tax d
from the nest they die ut once. 1t il
found only In a small portion Of the
country, and is seldom seen live, since
it cannot be kept long in captivity.
1t is bird of beautiful plumage,
having two extremely long tail feath-
ers and superbly crested head. 1t
is said that its pride in its tail feath-
ers is greater than its love of life, for
If one Of them accidentally become
broken the bird goes to its nest and
dies from grief and modification. 1t
builds a round-roofed nest, having two
holes on opposite sides, so that the
quezzel literally "goes in at one door
and out at the other" and thus avoids
and necessity for tail-breaking, and
consequently heart-breaking, by never
turning around in order to make its
exit from the nest.
