dozen of us, and all day long we in
dulged in the hope that the woman's
pride might give way on this one
occasion. at least. The day had dragged
along until an hour before dusk with
everything quiet on our front, when
bushwhacker fired upon and wound
ed one of our pickets. This brought
out fresh order for vigilance, and a
sergeant and his squad beat up the
forest and captured two Confederate
soldiers who were trying to enter our
lines to visit their families. 1t was
known that third one had escaped
and just after dark Corporal O'Toole
was ordered to picket the highway a
quarter of a mile from our farm
house. When he had reached the spot
and posted his men he said:
Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1901-12-19

"And you must let me gather some
wood and supply you with food" he
replied.
mo, sir can accept nothing from
your hands"
But the children, ma'am."
"They must suffer with me, SIR"
The corporal came out to the post
and crammed haversack full of food
and returned and begged the woman
to accept it, but she was firm. She
even ehided the children for the hun
cry look in their eyes. The woman
had softened bit, however, at least
towards one of us, and from that day
on little Susie was permitted to speak
and walk with the corporal, and she
did not hide from the rest of us as be-
fore. Kindness had converted her.
Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1901-12-19

Never you mind" the corporal
would reply when we guyed him a bit
over his failure to soften the mothers
pride. Christmas is coming along,
and I'll play Santa Claus in way to
melt her heart. Pride or no pride, she
can't stand up agin Christmas. I'll fill
the stockings of them kids if I'm
court and shot for it next
day."
Three days before Christmas we got
orders on the front to be unusually
vigilant, as it was known that num-
Der of Confederates whose families
lived within our lines had been fur
Laughed to pay brief visit Our pick
ct was doubled, and every post had
three men on it, and it was certain
that we turned back quite number,

though our hearts We're not in the
work. AS Corporal O'Toole said one
night when he turned out to head the
midnight relief:
Its our duty to obey orders, and
We'll be shot If we don't, but this
turning back poor soldier who hasn't
had sight of his wife or kids for a
couple of years, and who wants moth
ing now except to pass a Christmas
with 'em, is no work for a soldier"
The day before Christmas the cor
poral made up a hayersack of food,
brought out few simple toys and a
box of candy he had sent up to Wash
ington for, and he put on a wig and
false whiskers and showed himself off
as pretty good Santa Claus. He had
the help and encouragement of a

I'll rig up and play the Santa Claus
act, and you'll see me back here with

picious send Jones along to notify
me-"
With the long, gray hair of his wig
tossing in the wind, his venerable
whiskers lying on his breast, his fur
cap on his head, and a score of bells
tinkling as he walked, the corporal
passed up the road amidst the whirl-
ing snow with his packages on his
back. He entered the farm house
without knocking. The wife sat how
cred over the poor fire, and the chill
dren sat on the floor quarreling over
bit of food. Santa Claus swung

dren. Then it was Corporal O'Toole,
big, good-natured and always wearing
a smile on his face, who broke down
the womanly reserve of the little ten
year-old girl. He found her half
mile from home one day and she was
so overcome with the cold that she
made no resistance when he picked
her up in his arms and carried her to
the house. When he kissed the frozen
tears from her cheeks and said he
had left kid of her age back in the
North who was motherless, the child
reached UP and put her arms around
his neck. The corporal had conquered
the child, but not the mother.
at is kind of you, sir" she said as
the soldier entered the house with his
burden.
