A HUNDRED DOLLAR PIE.
The Good Stroke of Business Done by
an Army SutIer In the
Pastry Line.

One of the best known newspaper
men in Washington is Jim Waters. He
was here long before the war and has
certainly been here long while since.
His venerable horse and antique green
wagon have been contemporaneous
with much of the history Of the capi al
and have likewise formed no small part
of the same. Jim and the horse, and
probably the wagon, have known every
newspaper correspondent and report
er in the city for the past 0years. All
his life Jim has been gathering infor-
mation-tons of it at cent pound.
To be brief, he deals in old newspapers.
And he deals also in a good story now
and then.
81 have just been over to camp at
Dunn Loring," said Jim to a Star re-
porter, land went over to see If there

25 cents apiece. That was in the union

southern lines for several times that.

of information he was crazy to git
hold of, and it fixed him so that he
knocked the enemy gally west in no
time. My brother had got onto it
easy enough, for it wasn't such a
great secret over there what they was
going to do, The only trouble was
we hadn't been able to git back with
1t when our men went over after it.
My brother got onto a plan, though,
by loading it into the shell and firing
it from the gun in the position he had
got for it, when the enemy couldn't
have done it in month. That was the
scheme we worked, and my brother,
being fine gunner, had no trouble
getting in with the artillery COM
pany, especially when he went to the
officers with story about how he could
get the gun in the position that they
had been trying so long to get and
couldn't, owing to our battery on the
other bank of the river. He was a
great st-ategist, was my brother and
ought to be directing things in this
war.
"No," sighed the veteran, "he never
got his promotion, though did mine,
as the general said should. My broth
er was killed at the battery he fired
the shell from, and by the guns OF
his own friends. Just as like as not
done it myself, but that is war;

away to bob up serenely somewhere

THE best stroke of business /
did was in selling pies in the camps. l
got rid of tons of them and they paid
well. Soldiers seem to like pie better
than any other c,ass of human beings.
1 suppose it reminds them of home
and mother. Some of the pies l used
to sell them must have reminded them
of their grandmothers. Now and then
the baker couldn't make pie fast
enough to keep up with my trade and
then had to make them myself. That
was the kind that probably made the
boys think of the old folks at home

stroyers! Every one of them stood
six feet in his stocking feet and the
way those long-bodied citizens could
put away my goods was a caution.

FARM HOUSE PIAZZA.
One Like That shown in the Cut Can
BE Built Mt nm Expense Every
one Can Afford.

Many houses have no shade trees
rear them, and a piazza or veranda is
almost a necessity in the summer. A
permanent porch, deep enough to
forrr the necessary shade in summer,
is Objectionable in the winter, as it
shuts out the light that is then needed.
Resides all this, the expense in build
ing a permanent veranda is beyond
tie reach of many, and altogether un-
necessary in any case. The illustra-
ton shows how to make summer
veranda that has all the advantages

THE VETERANS STORY.
The Absolutely True Tale of How the
Sergeant Sent the News
to the General.

The veteran, In the dlnPy UNIFORM
that might have been gray or blue,
was perhaps shade indefinite as to
where he had experienced the stories
he was telling, but he was an inter-
esting old fellow, and his listeners
had been reading too many war tales
sent by special messengers to news
papers to worry about the details so
long as the results were good. So
they filled up the narrator's beer mug
and set him going again.
Zone of the oldest things" he said,
with the calm confidence of truth,
"that 1 can remember happened to
my brother and me, both of us being
members of battery. On one occa-
sion we had been watching the enemy
for n week, trying to keep him FROM
crossing a river until our reinforce
ments had got up, but the rains had
set in and men couldn't move, and we
were pretty sure that the enemy was
up to some dodge or other that was
going to wipe us off the face of the
earth, for. he had ten times as many
men and guns as we had to meet him
with. OF course that made the COM
manding officers dead blue, and they
offered all sorts of inducements for
some of our fellows to go over and
find out what was up. I suppose a
| dozen or more went, to ten times
that many who volunteered to go, but
none came back, and we wasn't any
better off than we were before.
"One morning told the general that

if he would agree to promote us both
II we got it, we'd try for it. He mighty
near agreed to make brigadiers of us,
but we compromised on sergeants, and
my brother left for the other side,
after telling me good-by. For two
| days we did not hear from him, and
on the Sd the enemy got a 12-pound

with had been fighting him away from
