AN INTERFERING CONFERENCE
IN. THAT Was Not Altogether Pleas
amt for the Surprised aad
Humble Intruder.

Some men" said the captain, IN the
Chicago Inter Ocean, remember the
incidents of battle and forget the anec-
dotes of their associates. Others re-
member the anecdotes and forget the
battle incidents, but Judge J. S. Ander-
son. of the Fifth Wisconsin, remembers
incidents and anecdotes. Some OF MS
stories, at our regimental reunions, are
worth repeating. Speaking OF Gen
Hancock. reminded him Of Hugh
O'Nei, of ready wit. Hugh was coming
into camp with haversack and arms tuI.
of sweet potatoes and garden vegetables
and. in sneaking past Hancock's head
quarters, was confronted by Hancock
himself
The general asked Hugh where he
got the vegetables, and pressed the ques-
ton in such a way that Hugh became
ratified. and, in answer to the peremp-
tory Where did you get them, SIR
stammared: = drawed them. Thoreup-
on Hancock thundered: Don't answer
me that way, sir. There has not been a
vegetable ration issued TO this command
for a month. How did you draw them "
Hugh was himself again, and answered
meekly: why by their tops, general
He was permitted to so on his way.
This story was probably common
property in the army Of the Potomac, but
had forgotten it and Anderson had re-
membered it, Here Is another. pertain
ing to an adventure of Anderson him

column was halted simply because ii

Anderson noticed little distance In
front a good-size fire with log before
it on which were seated two or three tig-
ures with rubber ponchos over their
heads and with their feet to the fire. He
went toward the fire and the men on the
| log sat like statues, the rain beating or
the rubber blankets. Not one of them
| made a movement to indicate that he
was alive Anderson asked if he might
make coffee at the fire, and one of the
men, without turning his head, said
yes

THE OLD TIME FARM.

The farming Of the south before
