L stopped at station on the Union
Pacific railway, not far from an army
post. Several soldiers in charge of a
sergeant were unloading supplies from
freight cars on the switch when
captain drove up and spoke irrieably
and impatiently to the sergeant, charg-
ing him with negligence and laziness.
The sergeant attempted to explain, but
the captain called him a sun of a gun,
or words 20 that effect, ordered him
TO shut up and get through with his
work
'The sergeant, a big, stripping fell
low, said that il the captain was not n
officer, he would make him take that
back, or lick him. The captain said at
once that he would drop the officer
for ten minutes, If the sergeant really
wanted to lick him. The sergeant said
he did, and the two went into the large
vacant freight house TO settle the mat
ter. The captain threw off his coat
and the sergeant his blouse and belt,
and after calling the station agent to
act as referee, the two shook hands
and went at IL.
THE sergeant was the larger man,
and depended on his strength. The
captain was, however, well trained,
and in the end worsted his antagonist.
The sergeant, recovering slowly from
a knock-down blow, was asked by the
captain: DO you think you can lick
me now% The sergeant said at first he
didn't know, but before he got 10 his
feet he said he was satisfied he couldn't
do it. Thereupon the captain said:
Very well. If you are quite certain in
your own mind that you can't lick me,
I recall all remarks about You being a
son of gun, but I still stand by the
specification as TO negligence and lazi-
ness unless these supplies are at the
fort in an hour The supplies were
there on time, and the captain assured
me at a later date that the sergeant
held no grudge against him"

ONE woMAN's AWFUL WORK.

Reclaimed Druakard and Sent

A reclaimed drunlxard in northern
Ohio obtained the position of
carrier of the rural mail. He was
agreeable, kind, polite, exact in fulfill
ing his duties. All went well until the
frosts of late autumn rendered his
drives somewhat chilly; then gener-
ously disposed but needless woman
carried TO him one afternoon as he
stopped at her mail box q glass OF
homemade wine. He was cold, the
temptation to drink the enticing
draught was great, he did so and came
to his home town ready for more
liquor, the vow of a year broken, his
stability overthrown, church pledges
ignored and freside happiness dark
ened forever, it is feared. His hand
some, devoted, sad-faced wife indig-
nantly beheld the ruin of her hopes
and knew the end had come. In pas
sion of tears she said: "How could a
woman wreck my husband, who was
trying so hard to be temperate, and
true to his promises?" She contin-
ued: 81 thought him perfectly safe
when travelling the country roads. He
had no saloons to pass. He came home
happy, though often tired. We had
added comforts, for his pay, though
small was sure and prompt and until
this Delilah came out with her wine
and offered him drink we were again
enjoying peace, content, and modest
prosperity. Now he will lose his place.

PRIVATE ALIENS NEW STORY
About a German Veteran Who Was
Given TO Roasting of His War
Time Exploits.

John Allen is in town-John Allen, Of
Tupelo. That means that a new crop
of stories will appear in the capitol
cloak-rooms. Here is one for q starter,
says the Washington Star.
There Is an old fellow in East St.
Louis named Zollenbaum, who is quite
a character. He saw little service in
the union army, but regards himself as
a hero. One night, in Grand Army
campfire, he was reciting his various
exploits which, by much repetition
had grown considerably, both in num-
Der and character. He told how in
one battle he had killed four confed-
crates in hand-to-hand combat, and
in another battle had slain six. His re-
cital, accompanied by profuse ges-
ture and a deep. rich German accent,
elected much enthusiastic applause.
"But at the close of his remarks a
modest little man in the rear of the
hall, wearing medal of honor, arose
and called attention to the fact that
the two battles the gentleman men
toned had occurred on the same day,
1900 miles apart
This blow babe fair for moment to
stagger the doughty Zollenbaum; but
he was equal to the occasion.
"'My vrend.' he shouted, Comrades
Of de Grand Army, we have a tam
rebel in our midst. Rouse NIT him!'
and IN the confusion Zollenbaum
marched proudly from the hall"

was soon fulfilled. The carrier failed

the same farmhouse upon another

drink of fermented wine, had smash

an had been properly instructed in
temperance she would not have lured
the wretched man TO his doom. A safe

might we'll be inaugurated along the
rural mail routes.-Temperance Trib-

MAINTAINING DISCIPLINE.
How Captain Enforced His Conn
mands Upon an InsrbOrdInate
Sergeant

Some of the company officers" said
the major, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
had in the first year of the war orig
inal methods of maintaining discipline.
L remember captain in the Twenty
second Illinois who scorned the ordi-
nary methods of Furnishing the pri-
Yates of his company. While we were
at Birds Point, Mo-, in the fall of 1861,
L passed his quarters one day and
found him behind his tent pounding a
man as large and active as himself.
The captain was stripped TO shirt and
trousers, ane was fighting for the mas
terry.
For five or ten minutes II was give
and take between him and his antag-
onist. Then the latter was Knocked
down and said he had enough. Then
the captain put on his coat, sent the
man TO the orderly's tent, and sat
down to smoke with me. He said he
madeit a rule to trounce every man who
was saucy or ipsubordinate, and as
his men were mostly from the country.
and given TO independent notions. he
found the plan to work well. He said
he would no more think of bucking and
gagging one of his men than he would
of shooting him.
Twenty-Five years after the close
OF the war found the same sort of a
captain in the regular army. One day

BRIGHTAND SHINING EXAMPLE
what Quincy, Mass. Has Been Able TO
Do without the BiIEhtInE In
nucnce Of Saloons

Scotfers will pale and enemies of the
inebriating cup will take heart when
they read the figures about Quincy.
Mass. Quincy is an attractive little
city near Boston, and would be quite
worth q line or two on its own ac-
count, but the figures here referred to
are not so much about Quincy as a
nice town near Boston as they are
about Quincy as Type and as a Shin
ing Example. In the state of MaSsa-
chusetts, every city has a chance TO saw
whether or not liquor shall be sold
within its borders, and for 20 wears
Quincy has answered with a stern and
determined no. Therefore, Quincy is
become the type of a saloonless city.
Now, read what has happened to Quin-
sy. During the two decades aforesaid.
the city has more than doubled in pom
nlation, its assessment valuation has
increased threefold, the deposits in its
savingsbanks have increased fivefold.
and the new houses are now five
for every one in existence twenty
years ago. If some doubling Thomas
suggests that all this might have hap
pened TO Quincy, even if there had been
saloon, here is finisher. While the
population was increasing 12e per
cent, the amount expended for the
poor department of the city decreased
II per cent. Any one who, after di-
costing these figures, will go by a
liquor saloon without crossing over to
the other side of the street ought to be
railroaded TO gold cure establish

ed and get to sea first. Everybody
knows how the union vessel was fin
ished, went down the coast and was
in Hampton roads when the Merri-
mac came out.
Il will never forget the day Of the
battle. 1t was an exciting time in
New Haven, for we had a kind Of
local pride in the Monitor, on ac-
count of Mr.. BushneIl's connection
with her construction. All day long
crowds clustered around the tele-
graph Office, receiving bulletins of
the fight.
'Mr. Bushnell and were there,
too, you may depend upon it. At
last, along about five or six o'clock
in the evening came the news that
the Merrimac had been disabled by
the Monitor and had put back to
port. Bushnell, who was strappinp
fellow, with hand in proportion to
his size, brought his hand down on
my shoulder with whack that near
ly knocked me down.
'Sperry,' says he, your bond is
safe 1 tell you. there was great
celebrating in New Haven that time.
A peculiar thing is that the original
bond we signed has never been
found. No one knows what became
Of it."

BUILDING THE MONITOR.
Interesting Account of the Stirring
Event and an Attendant
Incident.

There is the man who was bonds
man for the construction of the
Monitor"
This remark is often made at the
capitol as Representative Sperry, of
connecticut, is pointed out. 1t was
40 years ago that Mr.. Sperry signed
his name TO the instrument that
pledged every dollar he had in the
world on the success of an expert
ment-that the United States navy
department was not willing to back,
which great many people thought
was a foolish one, but the success
of which marked the turning point
in the naval fights of the war.
Mr.. Sperry never speaks of his
connection with tie affair. He is
very modest upon that score, and it
is only with difficulty that he can be
drawn into discussing it. He got re-
sults-and that's all there was TO it,
says the Washington Star.
But Mr.. Sperry's story of the bond
ing of the constructors of the Moni-
tor, the fiscal act which was ante
cedent 20 the great military drama,
is very interesting.
Il was Il young fellow" said Mr..
Sperry, but was full of patriotism
and ardor for the success of the
union cause, and l guess that was
why the projectors of the Monitor
approached me TO back the scheme
with bond for the successful build
ing of the vessel
John a. Griswold, of Troy, at that
time a member of congress; Cor
nelius 5. Bushnell, of New Haven.
and a western man named Winslow
were the builders. The vessel was de-
signed by Ericsson, as is well known.
but these three men were TO con-
struct her. The navy department
was skeptical of the practicability of
Ericsson's idea, and declined TO adj
vance the money unless bond could
be provided to secure the department
against loss IL the plans should not
work out successfully.
There was great commotion about
the building OF the confederate ram
Merrimac. We knew that she was
going ahead at the Gosport navy
yard and would be the most for
midable vessel afoat. She was iron
clad, and the thought of that invinci-
BILE ship being turned loose among
the wooden vessels of the coast was
terrible one.
"She could have levied tribute on
every city along the coast from the
Chesapeake TO Maine, and would
have had everything her own way.
Well, when the Monitor was pro-
\ n
thing if it would work out. But
many people were doubtful about the
cheese box as they jeeringly called
Ericsson's vessel.
Mr.. Bushnell thought she could be
built. So Mr.. John Drew, of New
York, and myself went on his bond
with the navy department and the
work was started at Greenpoint, N.
Y. 1t was nip and tuck between the
two rivals which should be complet-

BY vote of the national council of the
Knights of Columbus, in annual ses-
sion at New Haven, Conn, no more
death benefits will be paid to members
who are liquor dealers.
The British board of trade furnishes
table concerning the consumption of
liquors in four countries,
showing that the United States is con-
Stunning less than half as much per cap
tia as Great Britain, France or Ger
many.
1t is plain that the thoughts of the
Swedish people were early turned to
the danger of strong drink, for in the
"Edda,'' a book of ancient mytholog-
ical poems, probably originating in the
eighth or ninth century, warnings may
be found against strong drink.
The Massachusetts, state sanitarium
at Rutland, where consumptives are
sent and given the out-of-door treat
ment, has practically discarded the
use of alcoholic stimulants. Expert
opinion, as expressed at the recent tu-
berculosis congress in London, coin
cides with the experience of the phySi-
clans at Rutland.
