old clay pipe. It's mighty enticin'
game, and if they wasn't playin' poker
they might be doin' sunthin' wuss."
The negative side was represented by
Joe Blunt, second sergeant, who had
been farmer all his life. When he
heard of the goings on he said:
you jest lemme tell you that there
amt no good in it, and the Lord won't
prosper no army made up of gamblers.
/ don't say there's any great sin in
mumblety-peg or marbles, and feiler
kin play a game of checkers or fox
and-geese and not want to burn some
body's house down, but I'm bettin' this
army will be licked out of its butes
the first fight we hev in the spring. 1t
will be judgment sent upon it.
Among the heaviest winners at any
of the tables was the brigadier of the
Second brigade. That he was n fighter
he had proved over and over again,
but we had it early in his career that
he was not popular with his subordi-
nate officers. 1t was given out that he
lacked polish and education, and had
secured his place through political in
fluence. That he held it by being a
fighter was to his credit, but for all
that he was more or less ostracized.
The general opinion of the rank and
file was fifty expressed by Sergt. LomaX
when he said:
Boys, the general fights like the
devil, and there's no getting over that,
but | wouldn't want to go into part
nership with him after the war is over
He's sharp enough to steal the claws
off cat, and there's heap o wicked
ness stored up there somewhere"
From an army corps down to the
weakest company it's all family af.
fair. One officer sizes up another, and
the private sizes up all and is bound
to have his opinion. One day in the
last month of winter we in the ser
geant's tent heard some news through
SeTgt. Frayne. 1t was being whis.
pered about among the officers that
the brigadier was a sly one at cards
and that deftness of hand helped him
to win oftener than luck.
"And look here, boys" continued the
sergeant, dropping his voice to a whis
per, 'he's getting a string on ouI
colonel! He's jest layin' himself out to
be chummy, and they say he's as soft
and smiling as a born brother. That
don't mean but one thing. 1t means
he hopes to ring Col. Bell in on the
poker business and clean him out. The
colonel is rich, he is, and the brigadieI
amt any too blamed good to beat hin
out of his last dollar"
"Weu, it amt our lookout" growlet
the orderly sergeant.
''of course not, but we've right tc
talk. We don't wan. to see our owl
colonel made a monkey of"
"Then let him keep out O. poker
Mebbe, however, he'll skin the briga
dier. and that wouldn't be half bad"

Charles Il. Henderson, who has just

finally as United States senator from

when, during the second session of the
