he could get together some money. He
had wealthy uncle in New York, and
knew that if he could find him he would
be able to raise the necessary funds.
His eargerness grew so great that he
could hardly wait for the ferryboat to
be made fast to the dock, narrowly es-
Gaping a fall overheard by his hurry.
When he finally struck the dry land
of the metropolis he rushed toward a
store, in which he thought he could find
directory. Hastily overlooking the
big book that was handed him, he found
his brothers address and once more
rushed away. 1t took the General
about two hours to find the house, so
bewldered did he become at the tangle
Of streets in which he found himself
At length he drew up before the
right house which he regarded with
mingled feelings. Bracing himself for
the ordeal, he felt for his sword, but
did not find it. This caused him fresh
sorrow, but added strength to his de-
termination. He rang the bell and was
speedily ushered into his brothers
study, where his appearance created
quite a panic.

said that the General discovered that
his visit was most opportune, as there
was a considerable sum of money COM
ing to him by the settlement of an es
tate. That the uncle was about to
communicate with him to get him to
come to New York for the purpose of
receiving the money due him. That
owing to the day being a holiday in
honor Of Admiral Dewey, it was i'm
possible for the transaction to be COM
pleted, as the banks were closed That
the General explained that he was in
immediate need of money and begged
the favor of a small loan to meet he
exigencies Of the occasion. That the
General was supplied with such a sum
as he had never before seen and that
he thought that he never would need
another cent.
After having made arrangements TO
have the money due him placed to MS
credit at one of the New York banks,
the General wended his way through
the long corridor Of his uncles house
to the street with his money tightly
clasped in his hand When he thought
of the pleasure it would afford his men
to have money and regular meals he
nearly jumped for joy. But when he
thought of the pleasure of getting back
his trusty sword his delight was I'M
bounded
He placed his money in his inside
pocket and began to whistle. 1t was
not often that the general whistled,
and the tune he emitted from his lips
was a most melancholy one. To add to
the popularity Of his appearance he be-
gan to execute a species of war dance
which eliminated in highland fling
Of most undignifed appearance. In
fact, the General was so much elated
that he went into the middle of the
street and danced away for dear life
Suddenly he felt himself grasped in a
pair of strong arms, and in less time
than it takes to tell it he was landed
in a wagon which seemed to stop at
the same moment
The General was most indignant
when he found himself in the arms of
the law and reached for his sword with
quick movement. But. alas! the
trusty weapon was not there, and he
fell back in the wagon with an ex-
preston Of disgust.
Nah swohd! Nah swohd.' he cried.
The policeman who was driving the
wagon turned to the other who was
his every movement, and said:
"Bughouse all right, amt he Bill?"

HE WAS LANDED IN A WAGON.
"As daffy as they make EN-" said
the others.
And then it began to drift through
the Generals head that in dancing on
the street he had been mistaken for a
lunatic. He was very much incensed
that these men should have imagined
him insane.
Said he:
Look hyah, sub, do yo' think Ah'm
crazy?'
"Oh, no." was the answer; you'll
land in the foolish house, that's ALL"
All this time the wagon was being
rapidly driven down the street and in
few minutes the driver pulled up in
front OF lew building, the windows
of which were covered with gratings.
The General was taken out, and rather
forcibly. too, and brought before a man
who sat with stern expression behind
q huge rail.
This hyah proceedin'." said the
General, sis an outrage, sub; All was
jes' tryin' to show nah delight at re-
ceivin' sum money an these hyah men
arrested me- Alive nevah done nothin'
in nah life that Aim ashamed of"
Then the testimony Of the officers
was taken, and finally after it had been
shown clearly that the General was not
crazy, but slightly exhilarated. he was
fined S. and costs. This he paid with
a wry expression and walked out Of
court much abashed.
