"Thc boys" said the major, played
tricks ON one another even when under
fire. On one occasion after our line
of battle had been formed the color
bearer stuck the flagstaff in q hole IN
a stump, behind which he sought shell
ter from the bullets of the enemy's
sharpshooters. For time the con-
federate fire conferred on that stump,
or rather on the flag waving from it,
while all the time the color bearer,
curled up behind the stump, smiled at
the efforts of the confederates to cut
his flag down.
"Soon the firing became regular and
the boys relaxed from the high tension
Of the opening session. The color
bearer, as the boys settled down to
regular business, drowsed off to sleep,
his flag still flying from the stump.

thought the c. b. was having pref

the flagstaff out of the stump and let
the colors fall to the ground. The boys

bearer, waking up, crawled around to
tho confederate side of the stump,
