BURNING UP A GENERAL.
A soldier in Cuba who Unwittingiy
Toaxted His Commanders
Feet TO Turn.

"I never told you, did l." asked a
regular soldier who has not yet re-
covered from the wound he received at
El Caney, chow near came to burning
up a brigadier general in Cuba last
summer?"
Burning him up?" repeated the sol
dier's friend; mo, you certainly never
told me that"
"Well, the officer that 1 came near
finishing was Gen. Niiles-Col. Evan
Miles, of the First infantry, you know,
but brigadier general of volunteers.
Our regiment was in his brigade, and
this happened one night in June when
was on headquarters guard. Head
quarters was big name for a pretty
poor place. There wasn't even tent,
and the general and his aid, lieu
tenant, were biyouacldng by fire, with
nothing but some empty boxes TO sleep
on-not the softest kind of bed. 1t
grows awfully cold, you know, as soon
as the sun goes down, in Cuba, and the
dew ehills you to the bone. That night
was cooler than usual, and I was shiv-
ering as I built up the campfire. Be
cause of that, suppose, l made it good
and big. Gen. Miles and the lieutenant
lay down on their boxes and went to
sleep, and when the fire was well started
1 went on my post, q hundred yards or
so away After L had been there for
perhaps half an hour, walking up and
down trying to keep warm, l heard a
commotion in the camp. Gen. Miles
was shouting; 'sentryi sentryv at
the top of his voice. rushed up as fast
as could, but even before got there
saw what the trouble was. You never
laid eyes on such a roaring campfire.
The general was kicking at The box
that had been his bed.
"'D-n it, mani he said, as came up,
what are you trying to do-burn me
up? You've got too much fire here al
together
Nobody could help agreeing with
him on that point. The end of his box
was blazing, and his clothes were fairly
scorched. The heat had walked him up
Just before he actually caught fire him

fire out where it had spread beyond

apologized as we'll as l knew how. The
lieutenant was on the other side of the
fire, and the wind had kept the blaze
away from him. He was sitting up
with his back toward us, so the general
couldn't see him laugh, but his shoul
/ ders were shaking well. There was a
D funny side to it, of course, but it might
have been serious for me. 1t looked like

A FORTUNE OUT OF PIE.
How n shrevd scotchman in Aus
I. traIIa Made a Comfortable
Pile of Money.

One of Chicago's globe trotters spent
the most Of last winter in Melbourne,
whittier he has lately returned. He is
naturally fun of his travels and when
asked by friend to describe Melbourne
he said that the two features of the
place he best remembered are Coles
Book arcade and Hosie's Scotch pie
shop, which are almost next-door
neighbors in Bourle street. He de-
clared that to have been in Australia
and to not be able to talk about them
is to exhibit a woeful deficiency in the
art Of conversation. As if to prove that
he is not thus deficient, he proceeded
to give a somewhat particular dccount
of the two men, Cole and Hosie, and
their enterprises respectively.
"Cole is alive and well, he said, "but
Hosie has just died at the age Of 6s.
An energetic young ScotchmaH with
only few dollars in the way of capital,
he landed in Melbourne in the early
sos anG started n little Scotch pie shop
at the end Of BourSe street-what time
two other young men named Spiers and
Pond were beginning in little res
taurant at the other end of the same
street. In 1861 Spiers and Pond risked
all their available capital in bringing
out the first English cricketing team to
Australia. The speculation proved a
great success and on the profits Spiers
and Pond were enabled to transfer
themselves TO London and to revolu-
tionize the lunch business in England.
But their pie shop in Melbourne is still
doing business at the old stand.
unlike Spiers and Pond, Hosie re-
mained in Melbourne, made a fortune
out of his three-penny Scotch pies, built
pretty bijou theater, provided Mel
bourne with a luxurious Turkish bath
ing establishment, erected couple Of
gigantic hotels and attained the dig
nity of mayor. He was liberal donor
to Melbourne charities, but always
stipulated that his name should be kept
secret. Now that he is dead and" said
this Chicagoan, "only a few weeks be-
fore / left for home, il transpired that
it was he who in 1889 added wing to
the Melbourne Homeopathic hospital
at cost OF $4,000. All his great
wealth was made out Of pies. Chicago
