Some Tough uStOmera.


I'VE had some tough customers in
our company" said the Captain, "and
the discipline was pretty severe. Nearly
every man who had TO be toned down
by punishment swore that he would
kill the Captain as soon as he was out
of the service. The men with Il griev-
ance made this declaration not only at
the time of punishment, but at the be-
ginning of every battle, when they init
mated that the Captain might be found
dead on the field with a hole in his
back. That Captain lives in Chicago,
and among his most trusted employees
is Il fellow who threatened 10 shoot him
scores of times, but who learned his
lesson in the war. and learned also to
appreciate the officer who made men
out of very poor material"
There were tough characters" said
an ex-Confederate. in both armies.

tentiary ut Nashville. | was greatly

HE that the Offense charged against him
that of stealing mules-was not. with

full and started North with the promise
that we should hear good reports of
him. Before he left Kentucky he stole
ten horses, crossed the Ohio River with
them. and made dash for the central
part of the State. He was pursued and
captured and sent to the Ohio peniten-
tiary.

ed some of my Yank friends with the
record of the fellow. y year later l went
to Columbus TO secure the release of an
old Confederate soldier from the Ohio
penitentiary. l vouched for him be-
cause he was one of the bravest sol

seek to put him at the head of affairs,
while tie friends of Gen. Maxine Go

who have recently been in San Domingo
