A crowd of old Confederates were
swapping war stories when one of them
told the following to a Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal man.
lone of the most striking figures in
the armies of the West was Gen, John
Magruder, C. S. A. He was what might
be called 'Murat' of a man, for in the
hardest times Prince John could al
ways show natty uniform. and he al
ways went into battle. the soldiers
said, with enough fuss and feathers to
have marched down a dozen men. 1t
was evidently his determination to die
not only with his boot on, but with all
his good clothes as well. Added to his
love of dress was a fondness for good
eating that led him TO every promising
home near Il Camping ground.
ION one occasion. with his staff, he
rode up to handsome, old-fashiOned
home in Tennessee, and with his most
courtly bow and gallant manner limited
that food would not be unacceptable to
famished soldiers The lady of the
mansion bade them enter and hastily
sent servants running hither and
thither to provide a meal for such hand
some and gallant soldiers.
About the time the dinner was
weighing down the table, and just be-
fore the officers had been invited 10 en-
ter the dining-room. poor private, who
in peace would have been styled gen
tlernan, sneakcd up to the back door
and begged a bite to eat,
THE hospitabe hostess, absolutely
ignorant of military etiquette. told him
to come In Immediately, that dinner
was just on the table
1.-The officers, Gen, Magruder and the
rest. are just getting ready to eat she
said; 'you are in nice time
"Had he not been so hungry the pri-
vate might have run on the spot But
hunger conquers all fears, arr he quick
lv followed his hostess TO the dining
room. determined 10 snatch few bites
and run before he could be sent to the
guard house.
'"rhe officers had not entered. The
private slipped into a seat and began a
savage attack on the food before him.
Chicken, ham and everything in sight
anu reach were seized by the soldier.
When Prince John and the staff came
he expected nothing more than death.
The door opened, and with the
hostess on his arm Gen. Magruder en-
tered the dining-roOIn. The STAG was
close behind.
In moment the General saw the
private.
"'what are you doing thereT thun-
dered the officer.
THE private sent half corn one To
Join the chicken he had just swallowed
and reached for piece Of ham. He was
too busy to talk.
Gen. Magruder strobe up in his
splendid Uniform. and touched the dirty
grsy-coated figure sitting composedly
at the table.
Sirrah do you know with whom
you are to eat|
The soldier never looked up. He only
grunted out between bites: Don't
know-d0n't eare-Was time when I
was mighty particular. All that gone
now. Too hungry willing to eat with
anybody
HE was allowed to finish his meal"
