"But what's the use of keeping

to shoot, but we got there. just the

Eyes, in about five years you got
so you could hit confederate regi-

bad boy. "They issued guns to you,
and you looked them over as though
they were to be cut up into teaks,
and fried, and when you were eold now
to shoot, and fired into the air,
the old gun kicked you over, and

When you got out of the hospital you
wanted to be detailed as company
cook, or nurse in the hospital, and they
could never get you near gun again
for years, and when you did shoot
again at the enemy, you pulled the
trigger with your eyes shut, and run
away from the recoil, and never hit a
rebel, and it took eight carloads of
lead to kill one man. Now it IS diff

Nov that you and your dad have
travelled all over Europe, and kept
your eyes and ears open, what do you
think is the best place for a man to
go who is tired of his own country
and wants to settle down somewhere
and enjoy peace, and quiet, for the
balance of his life, without work, and
no feeling that he is liable to wake
up some morning and find that he is
in the midst of a war. What coun-
try would you advise an elderly man
to go to, who wants to get away from
trouble, and just enjoy every day of
the balance of his life?" said the old
man, with a peaceful look, as though
he was seeking a heaven upon earth
'Well, by ginger, you have got me"
said the bad boy, trying to think of
the most peaceful place he visited
while abroad. 'The fact, is, we were
not looking particular for quiet,
