NEW SHORT sTORIES
A Brn ~ soldier.

A story is going the rounds about
Charles Richman. The incident or the
story is said to have occurred at a time
when Richman was playing IN war
drama just which the chronicler does
not record.
The story involved two brothers,
southerners by birth, who became es-
tranged through love of the same wo-
man. The war breaks out. and one Of
them joins his fortunes with the Union
army, the other with the Confederate
forces. The crucial moment Of the
play occurred In the third act. A scene
shows the ramparts Of Vicksburg being
besieged by the Union army. The
brothers are in command of the re-
spective forces. The Confederate broth
er comes upon the stage, points out his
brother to his officers. denounces him
as a traitor and gloais over their COM
ing revenge A certain point in the
speech was the cue for the appearance
Of Union officer climbing over the
rampaits, followed quickly by hi. sol
diers. The curtain usually descended
on the victory of the Union forces, to
the tumultuous applause of the audi
ence.
On the occasion referred to by Mr..
Richman one of the Union soldiers.
little fat German. mistook the cue
and before the proper time climbed
over the ramparts and stood alone
against the entire Confederate army.
The audience began to giggle, but the
German was all seriousness and stood
with his gun pointed at the Confeder-
ates. At last. noting the laughter, he
looked behind him and saw that the
rest Of the supers were not in their
places.
"Come on, you loafers!" he shouted.
