Boys in War.

Veterans of the Civil War usually
lack either the disposition or skin to
tell the younger generation what war
was like. The man who writes the
history of his regiment generally con
tents himself with rafting volleys,"
clouds of smoke" "our right wing adj
vanced steadily" the carnage was
aspect of the war which the younger
generation surmises has never been adj
eQuately shown was the boyish rOmp-
ing and the humorous rivalry like that
of football game which characterized
many moments of the conflict. A vet
eran tells this story forty years after
the war. In all that time he had never
thought It worth relating until one day
some inkllng of II came out In talk
with his son, anu the son pumped
out" the rest
During the long operations about
Petersburg one of the Union regiments
was encamped so near q Confederate
entrenchment that during the days of
idle waiting the men OF the opposing
ranks grew almost to know each other
Both sides could see the inside domes-
tic arrangements of their enemy s
camp, and could count the shirts hung
out on the line. The shirts had COW
cred hostile breasts, but the breasts
were the breasts of boys.
The colonel of the Union regiment
had entered the army during his third
year at Phillips Academy. His under
officers We're all younger than twenty
five and half his men had little need
OF shaving-kits. The Confetierates
were perhaps younger still.
Between the two camps jokes and
jeers and burlesque challenges Were
thrown by these boy soldiers. The ex-
change of courtesies had no more hos
tility, perhaps less bitterness, than the
give and take between contesting
schools at football game. Beside
Confederate tent would fall stone
round which was wrapped piece OF
paper bearing the good-humored IL not
very refined inscription: your col

Back came the answer: well. he

one day the Union colonel, walking
down the lines, found some Of his men
calmly shooting at n clothes-line which
the Confederate soldiers had hung III
high spot 10 catch the wind. 1t was
full Of clothes, and the boys were try
ing to cut the line and send the gar
ments into the mud.
The colonel laughed. watched his
men make unsuccessful shots. then
took a rife himself, aimed and brought
down the line Of shirts and trousers.
The colonel Is getting on in years
now, and the prank does not At his
military dignity or his character as
his sons know him. But at the time
when he was leader OF a regiment he
should have been Il junior IN college.
