principally Of that which the boys
longed for-canned whisky-with a
beautiful picture of luscious peaches
without. The first night that this unc-
tuous sutler camped with his brigade
was one of great rejoicing. But, alas!
when morning came that suffers
knew whence it had come, nor with
er it had gone.
While this happy brigade lay at Mil
hken's Bend, above Vicksburg, wait
ing the finishing Of that promising
canal that was to take in the mighty
Mississippi, and thereon float the Army
of the Tennessee to victory and the
Gulf of Mexico, there appeared again
that solid sutler Of the Ninety-third
Illinois, with a splendid stock of all
a soldier needed, excepting canned
whisky, but he had one-half barrel of
beer, which. alas for the beer-lovers
of the Twenty-siXth Miss ouri, was first
discovered by the boys Of the Fifth
iowa. One of that poor but sturdy

Jared sumptuously, but the next morn
ing there was wailing in the camp of
the Fifth Iowa, for capital was needed
to continue the "chuck-a-luck' indus
try and 10, the boys had none. But
again the occasion brought forth the
man, and his name was "Lafe.' In
the night he carried that half-barrel
to the bank of the river, and there it
was filed with wholesome Mississippi
water. In the morning accompanied
by a guard of his comrades. he started
that half-barrel rolling through the
camp Of the Ninety-third Illinois, APP
parently in great haste to reach the
camp of the Fifth Iowa, but was
hailed and finally halted by nearly a
thousand Illinoisans. To save that half
barrel, he was compelled to sell it to
those cruel marauders for the small
sum of $50. Behold. the Fifth Iowa

GIRL OF THE WAR PERIOD.
She Was Forced to Do Much Work to
Which She Was Not Ac-
cuStOmed.

1.-The civil war;" said the sergeant,
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, made as
great a change in the young women
OF the period as it did in the young
men. | have often thought that the
impulse that has carried so many girls
INTO employments formerly monop-
ollzed by men was born in the first
years OF the war. The girl Of the pc
Rod was proud Of her femininity, and,
was extremely particular in the mat
ter of employment. Even the father
OF a large family of girls might not
ask his daughters to do what was re-
garded as mems work, without excit-
ing criticism from both men and
women.
The girl of the smaller city, the
village and the country drew a sharp
line between what she might DO and
what her brother might DO. She was
reaction from the girl of the previ-
Gus generation, who had been trained
10 DO all sorts of work in and about
the farmhouse, and was jealous of her
prerogative as a girl Her mother
had been trained to spin and sew. to
weave cloth and make coats. as well
as dresses; to raise vegetables as well
a cook them, and, therefore, the girl
OF 1860, If circumstances permitted,
was not inclined to do any of these
things. The men were to do their work.
and she was to do hers.
when the war came and swept the
men from the farms and towns south
ward, however, the women were ready
and willing to take up mems work
Even those who had been taught to be-
heve that to be lady was to be idle
became eager to help the soldiers.
Young women who did not know how
to sew organized sewing circles. and
in the first few months of the war the
wooden shirts and other garments re-
ceived by the soldiers were fearfully
and wonderfully made.
Buttons at the collar band. in
front, and at the cuff bands were on
the wrong side. and not infreouently
the sleeves were finished with a fancy
stitch effect that made them look like
the sleeves of a lady's dress. The
boys were wont to laugh over the dear
ieft-handed shirts, but they swore they
would wear them il they had to stand
on their heads to button them. And
these girls stitching, stitching, in mis-
directed zeal, with tears dropping On
their work, as they thought of the alb
sent men, We're transformed into work
ers. They learned to do things and
to do them well.
MANY of them had never bridled or
saddled or hitched up horse They
soon learned to care for horses as we'll
as men had. Few of them knew any,
thing of farm work. Many of them
went without hesitation into the corn
fields, and not few of them into the
wheat fields in harvest time. Going
home in the second year of the war,
a girl who had seemed to me year
before of such delicate mold as to
shrink away from mannish act, ran

EXCHANGING THE SAFE.
a business That Is RepIete with
Tales of Financial Success
and Failure.

A safe exchange" in Centre street
harDors many stories of successes and
failures In the business world says the
New York Times. There are stored
dozens of strong boxes, from small
private home affairs hardly large
enough to receive gallon jug to huge
Vaultllke safes in which two men
might stand. They tell of reverses of
fortune. Men or women who have
money and valua bles enough to war
rant their keeping them in an iron
safe either at home or at the office,
sometimes lose them and have no fur
Their need for the protection against

have their efforts crowned with sue
cesses and find the small boxes made

the stuff they want to put under

noted these rises and falls of the tide
of prosperity in individual instances.
e couple of years ago." he said the
other day, "a shabbily dressed man
came to me and purchased small safe
like this one" and he pointed out one
that was not larger than bushel bas-
ket. "a year later he exchanged it for
larger one. A few days ago he sold
the second one back to me and told me
he was going to safe company to buy
brand new one considera bly, larger

MANY have told me Of their hard luck
how they lost their fortune or their
all, whether it was enough to be called
fortune or not. For people who had
valuables enough to need safe for
their keeping, they drive hard bar
gains, I tell you. They sometimes
argue an speratingly long time for
a price for their old safes that we alb
solutely could not pay and get out
even on the deal. Their demeanor is
much unlike that of the person who
has been lately successful. Between
the two, of course, we manage to make

like a boy, and driving like iehu, her

Twelve months before she had shrunk

times week, and sold not onlv eggs

PEDIGREES FOR BOGUS CURIOS.
Titled Degenerate in London who
Cooperated with Shady Deal
crs in Antiquities.

Never has there been more heard
about bogus art antiques, false and
fabricated old masters and the like
than lately, but still great many rich
purchasers lay the f1attering JUNCTION
to their souls that they, at least, have
not been gulled, inasmuch as they have
pedigree of an authentic kind at
tached to every curio they have ever
bought, says London Tit-Bits.
But just as much artfulness and
pains have been employed in the IA
IRRIGATION of authentic histories to
old masters as have been expended on
these latter works themselves. Here
is an actual case-absolutely known at
first hand to the writer, who learned
the whole of the details Of shams, each
one with written pedigree, put off
upon collectors. About town in Lon
don was certain degenerate and titled
member of the aristocracy. The only
sign or shadow of property left to him
was a beautiful ancient manor house
that was mortgaged up to the very hilt.
The house stood in a remote spot and
had scarcely a stick of furniture left in
it. A shady dealer in curios of all kinds
sought out the titled ne'er-do-well and
made certain proposals to him. As a
consequence the mortgages on the an
cient manor were paid off and trans
ferred to the dealer in antiquities Di-
rectly afterward van loads of paint
ings, of black oak furniture, of arms
and armor, of worm-eaten tapestry and
of every conceivable art object began
to arrive at the almost empty manor
house. Then, in few weeks, announc
ments began to appear to the effect
that "the ancestral home of the last of
an ancient race (name given) was
about to be denuded of the treasures
of art that had been acquired during
the lives Of ancestors for 1000 years"
And this sale positively lasted over
several weeks-as though the very cell
Ears had been packed with art treas
ures. Collectors, everywhere, even
usually suspicious ones, pointed to this
or that dearly acquired object and said,
proudly: "That came from Blank
manor house. the wonderful deposit
tory that LORD, Memo DISPERSED" Even
after that Lord Memo disposed of few
things still left in his town house.
