With the spread of American influ-

charts the growing commerce nour-

AN APPLE JACK cARoUsAL.
A Find That Resulted I'm a hilarious
old-Time and = Singular
Situation.

apple jack" said the captain, In
the Chicago Inter Ocean, was the
worst liquor soldier ever drank,
and yet L cannot remember that it
ever precipitated any riot or serious
breach of the rules. When our boys
first struck apple and peach brandy
in southeastern Kentucky and Ten
nessee they knew very little about
it. They would prowl about the
smokehouses on the farms and fill
their canteens with apple jack and
take what they regarded as an or
binary snifter, expecting to be mod
erately stimulated thereby. But, as
rule, they became fool drunk. and
after repeated experiments, they
looked upon apple jack as very bad
thing to take in the presence of an
enemy.
Fellows with an appetite would
take whisky in a way to not promote
any feeling of general disability, but
they never could handle apple jack
In the same way. On the march
from Wild Cat mountain to Nashville,
In October, 1862, the men were on
temptation to drink heavily. But
to the credit of the boys It ought TO
be said that, realizing the danger,
they kept themselves well in hand.
In travelling through the union set
Elements it was not difficult for men
who drank 60 receive information as
to where barrels of apple brandy
were secreted.
ION one occasion l knew that the
stragglers under my Immediate COM
mand had found barrel of apple
jack. To my surprise, however. not
single man showed any signs of in
toxication during the afternoons
march. But when we went into camp
1 noticed that there was a good
deal Of comforting among the men,
and l OWNED that probably a dozen
were not in sympathy with the ma
jority. L suspected that there was a
scheme afoot, and there was, but il
was not the kind l suspected. The
men told off six privates, one cor
poral. and sergeant TO stand guard.
The others let themselves loose on
regular, old-fashioned spree. Each
man had a cantsen of apple jack, and
before midnight they were all as
drunk as fools, except the eight men
on guard.
These eight men sz-med them
selves with hickory switches, and
when the intoxicated men became
uproarious and unmanageable, thew
whipped them into subsection In

warm bird" but in an instant tho
chick was dropped to the ground
unframed. The canine instinct which
prompts a mother dog to carry her
young in her mouth had momentarily
asserted itself.
Don't be afraid" said Mr.. UllricA,
in answer to the reporters startled
look of anxiety, "she does that often,
but never hurts them"
As the newsgatherer made ready to
depart a strange dog entered the
yard.
"Now you viii see some fun" said
Mr.. Ullrich.
But 1t was the hen that came to the
rescue. With outstretched wings she
few at the invader and chased him
ANONYMOUSLY from the premises.
"old Biddy has perfect confidence
In Princess. But woe 80 any other
dog that tries TO come near" said
Mr.. Ullrich. "I have tried several
times to wean her from the chicks by
keeping her in the house, but #
was OF no use. The moment I would
let her out she would make dart
for the henhouse and whine until L
let her in. BY and by the chicks will
begin to scratch for themselves, and
then don't know what Princess
will do"
