quiet voice:

"Help yourself, my man," respond

somewhat indignant tone, as his per,

The stranger seated himself, unin-

him, wrote few words, knocked the
ashes from his cigar, and coolly
passed the scrawl over to the colonel
The surprise and indignation or
Oglesby's face deepened, but finally
gave way to establishment when he
had mastered the words. They

Oglesby rose and walked around the

were some ones orderly, and was
near ordering you out a moment
ago." Then turning, "Gentlemen, ou1

HIS TRIUMPH.

h started in to study law,
Ard got part of Blackstone read;
Thew, growing weary, gave it up; Y
Twas too exacting, SO he said. ~
He thought he'd be doctor next,
And gathered books with eager vim,
Bot very soon decided that
A Doctors life was not for him.
I'm be preacher" he declared
And guide men into righteous ways:
But preaching seemed to lose its charm
Before he'd studied many days.
''rn vrite," he proudly told his friends;
I'LL be a Dickens or Scott"
He trfe0, but soon decided that
All books were merely tommy-rot.
He turned from writing to the brush.
Deciding to ennoble art,
But gave up that sublime pursuit
Before he'd fairly got start. ="
FROM farming he, disguised, turned
To be civil engineer;
He studied architecture and
Once thought he'd be f1nancier.
IA had good chances by the score.
But failed at everything he tried,
Because he didn't persevere,
Because his passions quickly DIED.
Tot there was one thing that he did
TO show that patient efforts win;
In colorfng meerschaum pipe
He held his course through thick and
thin.

moving in this way could come upon a
group of foragers watching at a cross

Zone night corporal came in late
and reported that he had left Sergt.
White five miles back, sick as horse.
Without a word, another sergeant
who had just come over from head
quarters left the bivouac and was not
seen or heard of for two days. He
went back for his sick friend, helped
him forward just in time to prevent
his capture, and after numerous adj
ventures brought the sick man into
the zone of safety. He never said much
about how he saved his friend. 1t
was enough for the boys to know that
they saved him."

HE DIDN'T KNOW GRANT.
Surprise That Was Somewhat
Startling. -

When Grant was appointed briga-
der general and ordered to Cairo to
take command, Col. Oglesby was act
ing in that capacity. The latter had
received notice of the appointment
from the: war department., and was
advised that the new general was on
his way south, relates the American
Tribune. A day or so after the
colonel was seated at his desk, busily
writing. In the room were several Of
1icers chatting together in subdued
tones. The chief of staff entered and
announced the arrival of Grant. The
colonel nodded and went on writing;
evidently he had not understood the
officer. Presently a man dressed in
a plain soldiers blouse, SLOUGH hat in
hand, and nondescript trousers, saun-
tered in, remarkable for nothing I'M

of dust on his clothes, a stubby, red

posts, relates that Washington paper,
"about sword which had been found
in a hollow tree being sent to the
Washington manager of the AS

reminds me that there is a good
deal of old confederate money

many months ago 1 bought lot
of old furniture, and in the lot was
an old desk, very fine piece of work.
In having it overhauled I found Sc

of old notes, checks and several pack
ages of so and 25-cent Georgia shin
plasters, just as they came from the
bank, and in packages of $50, num-
bered consecutively. suppose there
was fully $1,000 in small shinplasters,
and it had remained in that old desk
undisturbed for more than quarter
of century. Now, there is one city
in my state that has never repudiated
a debt, and that is Augusta. don't
care how old the bill is the city will
pay it's face value with interest.
''There is one thing that is getting
scarce in the south, and that is con-
federate uniforms. They are hard to
find. The great trouble, you see, is
the fact that when our boys-I was

them so long that 1 find myself class
ing myself as one of them-came back
from the war they had to wear their
uniforms because they had no other
clothes. 1t was the uniform or moth
ing with them. The result was that
within a few years confederate
clothes were hard to find. A complete
! uniform worn by a confederate would
bring a good price in any southern
city"
