Quick work has been made by the flag
ship Chicago in collecting from the khedive
of Tangier a debt owed American citizens
for years. The Chicago did not fire gun,
but there is a probability that she might
have opened on the town had the money not
been paid within the time limit The sum
involved was but $3.50, the amount being
due to agents Of American concerns which
had endeavored to sell goods in Tangier,
says the Army and Navy Journal. For sew
eral years correspondence has been passing
between the two governments respecting the
claims. Recently British, Italian and
French warships made peremptory demands
for sums due those governments and were
promptly paid. Hearing of this the state
department determined to use the same
means and on the arrival OF the Chicago at
the Azores she was directed to proceed to
Tangier and remain 48 hours 1t was not
the purpose of the government to detain
the vessel longer than that on account Of
interfering with the itinerary prepared for
her cruise. On reaching Tangier demand
was made for the payment OF the money
within 48 hours, and just before the expira-
ton of the time 1t was reluctantly paid,

Nathan Branch Finds Lee who Was
Parted From Him sc Years Ago.

After separation of Sc years Nathan
Branch, the oldest colored man in Evans

at Macon, Ga. The last sight they had of
each other was in an auctioneers room on
plantation In Chesterfield county, Va,
when they were offered for sale.
1t is by the merest chance that they will
meet again. G. H. Callum, a real estate
man at Evanston, spent last winter in the
South. and at Mac saw a man whom he
supposed was Nathan Branch. The man
was bent with age. Callum was surprised
to find that he was brother of Nathan.
The Evanston man told Lee Branch of
Nathan, of another brother, Jordan, and
what he knew of the family history, and
Lee recognized many Of the facts as tally
ing with dim memories of his boyhood days.
When Callum returned to Evanston he told
Nathan OF the incident, and letters were
Immediately sent to Macon, with the result
that the reunion was brought about.
There were four boys in the Branch fam
lily, and all were born In Chesterfield coun-
ty. Lee, born in 1915, was the oldest. Rob-
ert, the next, died in Tennessee last fall.

When Gen. William T. Sherman was alive
he was often greeted with the shout, Gal

sometimes without understanding it's sig

place in history, especially as 1t proves that
even the little drummer boys who were in
the field in the civil war, like the late T.
C. E. Ecclesine, often did as efficient SER
vice as the older boys.
"Caliber .54' had its origin at the battle
Ct Shiloh. Gen. Sherman was riding along
over the field hurrying to get to his troops
when he heard a delicate voice calling:
Gen Sherman! Gen. Sherman" The old
war hero stopped and the boy piped out:
''The Illinois regiment is over there
on the hill, holding the rebels back as
much as they can, and they're all out Of
ammunition, and they want some" And
then. with as much volume of voice as he
could muster, he added ''Caliber "a"
message, for the wagon train might have
gone with loads of ammunition, and If it
hadn't been caliber "a it would not have
been of the least use.
Gen. Sherman got down from his horse
to pat the urchin's head, and to call him a

There, don't cry, my little fellow; get
right along back, for we're going to whip
