TRUTH HAD ITS INNING.
Amusing Story of Private Duffy and
His Interview with the
Captain.

'Tt not infrequently happens that, when
liar meets liar, truth has its interlude,"
is the way Col. Henry Huss, veteran of
the Seventeenth Connecticut volunteers,
prefaces his story Of an Irish soldier,
Duffy by name, whose heroic services
during the civil war gave him fame but
little less conspicuous than that he won
for himself as a patron of the flowing
bowl, Seeking opportunity for one Of
his periodicals, Duffy went to his cap
tain one day with the story that he had
Just received letter from his wife, in
which she told of the children being sick,
and she was worn out with the work and
care of them, and begging him to ask
the captain for furlough that he might
come home to her relief.
"Wife wrote you that, did she?" half
mechanically asked the captain, appre-
hending the petitioners trick and play
ing for a device to check it without re-
course to discipline.
"She did, sor," deferentially replied
Duffy.
$50? And when did you receive this
letter?"
''Lasht Chuseday, sor, an KNOWN ye
wor nadin' me here, Olive been troyin' to
put aft the askin', but whin Oi come to
tink of the por sufferin' childther, an
the wolfe of me witherin' away wild the
wurruk an misfortunes, OF jist had to
ashk ye, captain, dear, SO Oi did"
For moment the captain made no
reply, then, wheeling himself about with
the quickness of one impelled by sud
den resolution, he said:
Duffy, your ingenuity deserves some
thing better than refusal, but under the
circumstances really don't see how I'm
going to grant your request. The truth
is, my good fellow, that have received
letter from your wife this very morn
ing, in which she begs me, by all that is
merciful, not to permit you to come
home. She writes that she has more
trouble now than she can bear, and that
if you should come there, with your lazy
ways and drinking habits it would sure
ly be the death of her. So, there you are,
Duffy; you can see the situation for
yourself"
Quite crestfallen by the captains re-
course, the Irishman turned and moved
slowly toward the door; at its threshold

litical exploits is generally preliminary

The president is able to treat all
these suggestions with the utmost
complacency. He has not single po-
litical promise to redeem. Whatever
of political work was performed ex-
cept by members of congress and
members of the cabinet, was paid for,
and there are no services that need

pledges or promises included those OF

particularly the consular service. He
has had Investigations made and has
himself given much attention to the
personnel of our consular representa-
tives, and Is convinced that many
changes can be made for the better,
and he will probably reorganize the
whole service by getting rid of dead
timber and putting in intelligent,
capable and active men who under-S
stand the responsibilities and duties Of
such an office. He appreciates that the
development of American interests

SAD STORY OF THE WAR.
How Badly Wounded Soldier Brave
ly and Calmly Waited
for Death.

During the battle of Spottsvlvania, a
man was brought to our field hospital
with an arm torn away at the shoulder
and chest terribly lacerated, says an
old veteran in the Soldier and Citizen.
He was private soldier, but his dress
and manners, even there on the battle
field, wounded and dying, showed the
cultured gentleman. He was a man uf
magnificent physique, broad shoulder
ed, heavy set and with natural vital
ity that enabled him to hang on to
life for time when nine men out of
ten would have died instantly from
shock. With the care and medical skill
of large hospital, with perfect quiet
and every surgical appliance at hand.
there was a shadow of a chance of car
rying such a case through successful
ly; but in the field, surrounded with
wounded, in crowded tents, each sur
geon with over 200 wounded to at
tend to, the hot sun pouring down
upon the canvas roofs, and, above ALL
the necessary removal from the front
over rough roads to the distant base,
made the case a hopeless one, and it
was my painful duty to inform him Of
our decision. The man was a Chris
tian soldier and death had no terrors
for him. A few messages to home and
loved ones, and earthly things seemed
to be dismissed from his mind. He lin
gered for four days patiently awaiting
| death, not murmur escaping his lips,
when gangrene set in and We had to
place him in little shelter tent all
alone, and some distance from the
other wounded. l visited him at fire.
quent intervals during the day and al
ways found him praying or repeating
portions of Scripture. Once I offered
him drink of whisky, but he declined,
saying: ~ want to be sober when I
meet my God" When the boys of to-
day try to picture the field of battle.
they must remember that there were
dark, heart rending scenes as we'll as
glorious, exciting charges.

BROTHERS ODDLY MEET.
Two New York Boys Who Fought on
Opposite Sides in the
Civil War.

During the civil war, while the feder-
ais were lined up on one side of the Rap
pahannock, and the confederates on the
other, in an interval of fighting there was
some trading of tobacco for newspapers"
said G. r. Upton, in the Washington
Star.
THE Yanks and the Johnnies would
alternately cross for the purpose of such
barter and there was no breach of the
understanding that while the trading
was going on the fighting should cease.

cruited from the young men of Saratoga

the confederacy. John had left Saratoga,
his native town, when a child, to go and

and facts. He was able, however, to
prove his geniality and natural dem
ocracy in mingling with the crowds,
and no man has happier faculty of
making friends than he. He possesses
that rare gift, which made the late
James G. Blaine and the late William
Mckinley so popular, and that is the
ability to recollect faces and names.

willingness and vigor. He is a firm
believer in the Rooseveltion admins

as gifted in oratory as many other of
