We will call the general X. and his
aid, to whom he was very much It
tached, we will call Hoyt. The youn3c;

through the young aid -de-camp's hands
One night the general left his tent
without an attendant to go the grand
rounds" 1t was long after "taps," and
lights were out in the tents of the men
and there were few in those of the OFF,
GERS. When the general was returning
from his tour he noticed light in one
of the tents occupied by his staff and
heard a voice say, Raise you twenty"
1t was evident that there was party
within playing poker. The general
sang out, "Grand rounGs!' and imme
diately appeared at the tent Zap. In
side sat HOyt, with three other mem
bcrs of the staff, gambling with dollar
bill greenbacks in lieu of chips.
All rose, standing respectfully, wait
ing the expected rebuke.
Lieutenant Hoyt." said the general,
you will report for duty to the colonel
of your regiment"
This being reduced from the position
of an aid-de-camp to be second lieu
tenant in the line was a greater change
than to be reduced from second lieu
tenant in the line to the ranks Hoyt
would no longer be on terms of equal
ity with men far above him in rank. he
would no longer know of doings at
headquarters that generals would be
glad to know. Instead of being mount
ed he woulu trudge along with the 9TH
ers a mere unit in an army. Nevcrtiic-
less he accepted his fate without Il
murmur and in the morning reported
to his colonel for duty.
Hoyt's place was supplied by Lieu
tenant Eben Bayliss. who also succeed
ed to the generals private exchequer
Bayliss was considered an extremely
moral young man and soon won the
generals entire confidence He was
never known to yield to the practice so
common among the officers of the
Union army-playing poker with green
backs-and attended all religious serv-
ices. Soon after his appointment as
the generals confidential aid pay
master came along with funds. and the
general directed Bayliss to make out
his pay accounts and present them to
him for signature. This was done and
the money paid to Bayliss.

STATEHOOD OBsTRUCT10N1sT.
Is the Same As That Which
Opposed the Admission of the
DakOtas.

Major Edwards: The statehood
bill is still occupying the attention of
the senate and opposing forces are
spending lots Of valua BILE time trying
to talk it to death instead of allowing
it to come to a vote and be disposed
of. The tactics Of the persons oppos-
ed to the bill are almost exactly the
same as were used against the admit
ting Of North and South Dakota, and
practically by senators from the same
part of the country as those who op-
posed the admittance Of those states
that is from the eastern states, who
fear that their influence in the senate
will be lessened if any western sen.
ators r allowed. This is probably
true but the west is certainly entitl ed
to more recognition than it has had
heretofore, and as it will be many
long years before they can get much
in the house their best chances are te
get men in the senate.

CLOSE THE DOOR.

An acquaintance told us the other
day that he had never been able to
make money with poultry, and when
we reached his farm, just after sun
set, the unbanked hen house door was
wide open to the west, and the half
frozen supperless chickens were
crowding about the door-most of
them on nj foot-seemingly debating
whether to spend the night outside or
in. To speak plainly, such inexcus-
able neglect and lack Of business isn't
common sense and still we see more
hen house doors open at sunset than
we see closed, more unbanked cheer
less houses than cozy, we'll banked
one, and consequently more unprof-
table poultry than profitable. Why
cannot even the poorest bank up their
hen houses with strawy n or
earth, and at least have a small door
just big enough for the hens, and
that closed as early as sunset. The
