& Question Of Discipline.

The talk drifted to war matters. and
NJ. Charles A. Edwards OF the Houston
Tex Post, a native OF Missouri. said:
when the civil war began. as was nat
urai, the soldiers possessed far more cour-
age than discipline. When Gen. JEFF
. ThompSOn's command was e1camped in
Southeast Missouri, much complaint was
made TO him that his men were contin-
ualy shooting OF their guns In a most
reckless manner at all hours Of the day
and night, TO the endangering Of life and
limb. He had his army drawn up, deliv-
cred a severe lecture on discipline and
wound up by declaring without qualifica-
ton that no man must fire his gun under
any circumstances whatever except by or
der OF a superior. and that If any one
dared 20 violate this rule he would in
n'ct upon him the seyeTest punishment
known 10 military law. Hardly wera the
words out cf his mouth when six f7oter
from Dunklin County placed his long
squirrel rife 10 his shoulder, discharged
It almost under Gen. Thompson's nose.

and blew the smoke out Of the barrel.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Svend Svendsen, the Chicago artist. who
is beginning to make a stir III the world,
has the inordinate capacity for work that
nearly always goes with genius.

bumped against the swarthy, stout little
painter in the street the other day. What
have you been doing with yourself?"
Working" said Svendsen, rubbing his
hands together in great, good humot
Lets step in here and get bite TO eat

things over"
1t was IL o'clock in the day. The two
settled down to beer and chops, and
Svendsen ate with a good appetite, to put
it mildly.
Really, I didn't know I was so hun
gry,' he said. But / remember now |
haven't had any breakfast. / worked all
night developing the negatives of some
photographs"
And there he was" said the man who
told the story, looking as bright as a

others not so good, but al With the touch
of a man who has something to say, and

crowded in the finish by dozen others

Some one once asked SVendsen IL he
didn't think he was turning out too many

Svendsen tartly
The little painter has had struggles
enough TO make his remark very realistic
