ARMY HARDTACK
Inspires Birmingham Soldier Boy To
 Drift Into Rhyme.

J. H. Riordan, formerly of Birmingham but now member of Company E, Twen- ty-ninth United States Volunteers, sta- !ioned at Catbalagan, Samar Island, Phil lppine group, writes the Age-Herald en- flosing the following parody on the ''Old OalSen Bucket" which he has dedi- ,cated to the Alabama Volunteers of 1S9S THE OLD ARMY HARDTAcK. How dear to my heart are the wartime mementos I've cherished in memory of sorrows and joys, In the days when I tramped through the streets of Manila And splashed through the mud with the rest of the boys. I've rusty old knife I never will part with;
 An old campaign hat jacket of blue; A battered canteen and a haversack hold ing
 Some squares of the hardtack we all had to chew.
 The iron-bound hardtack,
 The undiscovered hardtack, The old army hardtack we all had to chew. There was hardtack from wars of past generations, Which remained unconsumed tll tne late Spanish war, And tis rumored that some which defied mastication Were marked Civil War; or the stamp "B, C." bore. What a triumph this is for the skill of the baker Indestructible product, defying Times tooth; But it con,d not resist the assault of our grinders The grinders we had In the days of our youth. There was 1872 hardtack,
 And '62 hardtack And the old army hardtack we ate In our youth Oh, youth can make feasts of the coars- est of viands, And never again shall we veterans feel Such a zest in our lives as we felt in this late war, When our hardtack sufficed to create a square meal. .. And though we might dine at more sumptuous tables, We'd gladly exchange all the dainties they yield For the hearty enjoyment and youthful digestion That seasoned the hardtack we ate In the field.
 The bullet-proof hardtack,
 The petrified hardtack, The old army hardtack we ate in the
 field.

The Devil And Tom Walker i!

This is one of Washington Irving's snort stories. and is often used to ex- press surprise and astonishment.
 Only yesterday VIC heard a man say; "The Devil and Tom Walker, how do they do it?"
 He had just been told that tho Pennsyl- vania Hat Company had increased their business 50 per cent over the same month year ago, while his firm was trying to keep even by offering anywhere from 20 to 40 per cent off.
 It was suggested to him that if his firm hadn't put such a big profit on the new goods there wouldn't have been so many old goods left to take 1t off of. The se- cret of the Pennsylvania Hat Company's success is low prices and fresh goods.

SURE CAUSE OF ACTION
CLIENT SUFFERS FROM CAUTION OF
AN ANDERSON ATTORNEY.
Cassius HadIey Tells story Related
to Him by One Charley"
Baggett.

Charley Baggett, a lawyer up at Ander-
son. told me of another attorney in his
town that makes very sure. exceptionally
sure, of his cases before he goes into
them,'' said Cassius Hadley, as he tilted
back his chair and put his feet on a pile
of law books in the attorney generals Of
fee yesterday afternoon.
at seems that a client of this lawyer had
little store and the owner of the property
wanted the tenant to get out The tenant
refused TO move and the landlord nailed up
the passage way to the store to cut off the
tenants trade and starve him out of the
place.
1.-The tenant went TO the lawyer and ex-
planned his case. He wanted TO sue the
landlord for damages. The lawyer WASH t
certain that the case was a good one. After
due consideration he advised his client TO
go back to his store and tear down the
obstruction in the passage-way. This
should be done while the landlord was
about the lawyer advised, in the hope that
he would commit some overt act. If he in
terferes, the lawyer advised his client,
your cause for action will be complete
We'll. the client went out and acted on
his attorneys advice, as all good clients
should. About an hour afterward Charley
Baggett was called into the other lawyer $
office for consultation. The client was
there and Baggett says he was the most
wretched man he ever saw or imagined.
There was q cut over eye and the
other was BACKED. His cheek was gashed
and blood flowed from his mouth. His
teeth were so badly battered he could hard
ly enunciate. His clothes were torn and
dirty and through one mangled sleeve
could be seen a skinned elbow. The lawyer
and his client related the story to Baggett
and the lawyer asked Baggetts opinion.
Well Baggett said. I believe his cause
of action is complete.

w. F. A. BERNHAMER DEAD.
The Tally sheet Forgery Cases in
which He Figured Recalled.

The death yesterday at Chicago of Will
liam r. A. Bernhamer removes the last of
the principals of the famous tally sheet
forgery cases here in 1886 for which Bern
hamer and Simeon Coy served terms in the
penitcntiary. Judge Woods. who sentenced
them, died a few days ago.
Bernhamer came here from Shelby county
and after admission TO the bar practiced
law here. He became interested in poll
tics and in 1856. after a sensational trial
was convicted of the forgery of tally sheets
of the city election. at which time the DEM
ocrats were all returned as having re-
ceived good ma jorities. After one year in
prison he returned to this city but did not
remain long going 10 Chicago. where he
began the practice of law There he be-
came interested in politics and was en-
ployed in the legal department of the city
He was at the time of his death assistant
corporation counsel.
Bernhamer always protested his inno-
cence and after leaving here was very bit
ter toward citizens OF Indianapolis for
what he called their persecution of him. He
leaves a widow, formerly Miss Louisa
Steeg of this city. who has been faithful
through his troubles. He was fiftytwo
years of age and lived at 461 Jackson
boulevard The burial will be at Chicago
tomorrow morning. He leaves no children
Edward, in the railway mail service, and
George Bernhamer in the ice business at
Chicago, are brothers. He also leaves two
sisters Mrs Carrie overholzer. of Chicago
and Mrs. Rudolph Warming, of this city.
