Wasp. Worse than Bullets.

Richard Harding Davis relates this
incident. which happened while he was
acting as correspondent during the
English-B war. e sA-r
A regiment of Scottish FIighlanders,
noted for their bravery in action. dur
ing the heat of the battle We're sudden
ly seen to break ranks and run in all
directions. The officers as we'll shared
in the stampede, and apparently made
no attempts to urge the men under
them into line. Their behavior was
surprise to everybody on the field, and
after the battle was over the colonel of
the regiment was summoned before
Gen. Roberts.
What the devil was the matter with
your regiment" asked "Bobs.'
We'll" replied the colonel. there is
not a man in the regiment afraid of a
Dutchman's bullet. but we were steer
ed into a field literally infested with
wasps' nests. and you know. general,
we were all in kits and with bare
legs"

Pr,v.t. who struck Con. sheridan

Privats Who Struck Con. Sheridan.
Apropos of a story going the rounds
OF the press as to pugilistic com bat
between q division commander and .
private, the following story Is told:
When our division swung back
from the pursuit of Bragg in Novem-
Der. 1852, we marched toward Nash
vilIe and camped for a short time at
Edgefield. just across the Tennessee
from Nashville. As we went into camp.
Cen. Phil Sheridan commanding the
division, dismounted near house on a
hill to our left. and designated the
house and yard as his headquarters.
Between this house and our regiment,
the Fifty-second Ohio. was a field Civ
en- up to cabbage. Many of the heads
had been cut on earlier in the season.
and freshp green, tender = sprouts had
grown up about the stalks.
- .'As soon as our guns were stacked
the men broke ranks and literally
swarmed over the cabbage field. They
had been living on short army rations
for 30 long a time that they hungered
for. cabbage, and IN hye minutes that

The men Ia advance fell back when
they saw the general coming. but
others, not seeing him. kept at work
and SO 1t happened that Sheridan, with
club raised to strike, came unawares
on Jack LETTERS, OF Company K. Fifty
second Ohio. Jack was one of the
sturdiest and most athletic men In the
regiment and was not much given to
conventionalities. The confusion about
him had not disturbed him, and he was
wholly oblivious of the approach of the
general commanding the division
Jack was bending over a particu-
larly fine bit of cabbage when Sheridan
made a rear attack. striking the stoop-
ing man resounding whack with his
club. Jack went forward on his hands
and face. and, supposing that one OF
the boys had pushed him over in rough
frolic, he scrambled to his feet. and

know that Max cares or that l would

After all youth and love are very fine

Thank you. He doesn't ask you to

be easy enough to do. Especially when
those girls from the other club are to

the ring slowly and a blaze of light
leaped out from every apex
My goodness, how l would hate to
see you flashing on another girls I'm

in Max's eyes had been when he told
her huskily that she had made him
happy.

Blue and Gray Frat.rnlue.

The Blue and the Gray had happy
camp fire at Vicksburg. Miss. recently.
The local camp of Confederate veter
ans united with the National Military
park commission and the board of
trade in rendering it to the visiting
Federal veterans from the northwest
ern states. There were present a large
number of old Confederate soldiers, a
delegation from the United Daughters
of the Confederacy and many promf-
nent citizens. Capt. w. T. Rigby. chair
man of the Vicksburg National Mill
tary park commission, Federal vet
eran, gave an eloquent welcome to the
old soldiers of both armies, dwelling
on the bravery and heroism displayed
on 1900 battlefields by both Northern
and Southern soldiers, which the gov
ernmeEt is rightly and nobly commem-
Grating in the national military parks.
Col. r. v. Booth of Vicksburg next
spoke in a similar strain, saying the
American soldier is everywhere revered
and honored. whether his uniform was
blue or gray. H. C. Putnam of Brod-
head, Wis, spoke also for the visiting
soldiers and invited the Southern com
rades to visit Wisconsin Judge o. B
Christian of Marion, Ohio spoke fol
his Buckeye comrades and gave some
statistics comparing the size of armies
and casualties in European wars which
emphatically proved the valor of the
American soldier and the mighty strug-
gle of the civil war; Lieut.-Gen. Ste
phen D. Lee the famous ex-Confeder-
ate commander. gave a brief sketch o.
Grants army of the Tennessee. ans
outlined his Vicksburg campaign in e
mastery way. He claimed emphatic
ally that the fall of vicksburg was thu
heaviest blow dealt to the Confederacy
during the whole war. and praised ths
action of the government in establish
ing the vicksburg National Militar,
park. This gathering was one of thu
most significant events ever held her,
and the old soldiers from the North
west have very high opinions OF Vicks
burg hospitality.

There was a tremendous uproar in
the brigade. Sheridan was determined
to find the man, and our regimental

There is an old confederate soldier
in Louisville who tells an amusing
story of an adventure he had during
the civil war. He says:

The shell exploded and set fire to the

other soldiers helped extinguish the
flames. In looking around among
the ruins we found a box of old mus
tang liniment advertisements made in
the shape of dollar bills.
LAS soon as / saw them an idea
struck me which I communicated to
the colonel. Then 1 asked the drug
giHt if he wanted the advertisements
and, receiving negative reply, took
up the box and carried 1t to headquar-
tiers.
There was enough of that fake
money in the box to pay OFT tae rsgi-

colonel mustered the soldiers and

training OF the national Guard.

The Army and Navy Journal, in an
article on National Guard Decisions,
very truly says: In the Introduction
of the various, bills in Congress from
time to time for the reorganization OF
the national guard, the fact is invari-
ably lost sight of that the time of the
majority of citizen soldiers Is very linn
tied, and any scheme advocating q
months training for officers and men
is wholly impracticable.% fssF
In this line the Journal thinks q
week the limit for militia training
While quite understanding that a
month is completely out of the asies-
ton, it is clearly within the: line OF
possibilities to secure at least IA days
of service.

would come in with his eyeglasses. She

would be glad when he did come and it
was all over.
There was a step outside and Molly
felt that she was quite equal to the oc-
aged man, however, that came through
the open window. Nothing but a bass
