SWEARING IN THE ARMY.
Grant Was Said to Have Done 1t Once at
the Battle of Shiloh.

Grant Was Said to Have Done 1t Once at
the Battle of Shiloh.
1t is not generally known, but 1t Is
forbidden by both the army and navy
regulations. Any soldier or sailor who
does not like to be sworn at has a right
to make a complaint, and the COM
manding officer is subject to trial by
court martial. AS matter of fact,
however, swearing in time of excite
ment is not uncommon, and it is not
infrequently the only kind of talk that
has any influence. 1t is, therefore, no.
table that some of the greatest COM
manders in our army and navy have
been distinguished for the moderation
of their language. The story of Admi-
raj f'arragLts one oath at Mobile bay,
when he said Damn the torpedoes! Go
ahead full speed" is familiar, and now
comes a story about General Grant.
1t was told by General John p Haw-
kins in answer to an inquiry as to
whether General Horace Porter's state
ment that General Grant never swore
was true. General Hawkins replied: II
never heard Grant swear but once, and
that was at Shiloh Coming across d
body OF soldiers in retreat, he swung
his horse across the road, and, with
indignation shown in every feature, he
hourished his sword and cried: GO
back, you damned towards! Go backi"
1t seems possible that this story is true
1t took something in the way of an ex-
hibition of fear to make such men as
Farragut and Grant swear.-Philadel-
Ilhia Innuirer.

4 near nelghbor of Phil Armour, the
multi millionaire, tells the following
story:
Armour, as his friends know, goes to
his office every morning at $50, long
before any of his office men are at
work. A little boy who knew of this
habit OF the rich man, looking one day
from his mothers window, saw Mrs.
Armour's Victoria standing before the
door, and turned to his mother to ask:
Mamma, why haven't you a Victoria
like Mrs. Armour"
II already have four carriages, my
dear" she answered, 'and think your
father gives me everything he can af-
ford"
Wouldn't you like to have Victo-
ria too?" he persisted.
20 yes, certainly" was the reply.
And do You really mean my father
cannot afford to buy you one?"
Il think not, dear"
'Well, then" the boy flashed out, II
tell you what to do. You make papa
get up and go to work at half past six,
as Mr. Armour does, and you can have
o Victoria like Mrs. Armour's, too."--

Talk of the Spartan mother! She
was not in it with Mrs. Maroney of
New Haven, who soundly thrashed a
son and had him arrested for desert
ing from the volr.Iteer service. When
the war broke out John Maroney of
New Haven joined a battery Like
many other volunteer soldiers he did
not get to the front. and finally, when
the war ended, he resolved to quit the
service. Maroney left camp without
leave and made his way TO his home.
Mrs. Maroney, whose husband fought
through the civil war, knew something
of martial affairs and closely ques-
toned her son. She discovered that
he had deserted, ard her wrath arose.
Young Maroney ran out of the house
but his mother caught him in the yard
and belahored him with a clothspole.
Finally she dragged him to police
station and turned him over to the
captain as deserter.
