A Story,

Writing of his tours, kubelik, the ia.
mou violinist, recalls the following in
cident, which is related by the New
York Mail:
Il was once asked to play before the
inmates of an insane asylum" he says,
the doctor believing that music was a
fine medicine for unbalanced minds. I
accordingly accompanied him to the in
stitution, where he introduced me, and
said 1 would favor my hearers with
something gay me happy.
Il hadn't intended to do this, but,
following his suggestion. I played q
brilliant Slav composition. which /
hoped would be joyous enough. Tine
crazy folk were all seated about the
platform in chairs, and seemed to be
Intensely interested. AS I finished q
very pretty young woman arose and
beckoned to me. l thought, artist like,
that she wanted an encore, and so said
| to the doctor: m..
"t.Ask her what she desires?'"
"He rose to his feet. and was about
to question her. when she exclaimed
ITO think of the likes of me being
in here and he being at large in the
world
That was the last time 1 ever
played in an insane asylum"

In the winter of 1SG1-62 the brigade
consisting of the 31st and 44th Indiana
and the 18th and 10Th Kentucky regi-
mentS, under command Of Colonel Cruft
Of the 31st Indiana, were meandering
up and down Green River, Kentucky,
most Of the winter. While the brigade
was lying at South Carrollton some of
the 31St boys stole, hooked, confiscated,
or otherwise obtained seven geese. OF
course they understood hat we had to
protect rebel property at that time, but
goose being very palatable as we'll as
digestible, and not finding goose IN the
bill Of fare laid down in regulations,
the boys thought they would try some.
So the geese were duly killed, undress-
ed and struggled into camp. One Of the
boys, QUINN" could see farther into
a milestone than the rest of us, so he
took a fine plump bird, gave it to the
colonels darby cook, n told him to
serve it up for the headquarters mess,
and say nothing to anybody. The cook
did as directed. After dinner in came
Mr.. 'Philistine' and demanded either
his geese or the pay for them. Colonel
Cruft inquired about the loss, and soon
had a searching party out looking for
the wandering birds, himself heading
the party. He was a strict disciplinar-
ian and we all feared the result. Soon
the party approached the Inflated tent.
Quinn met the party smilingly, and
wanted to know what they We're look
ing for. The colonel told him and
threatened the direst vengeance upon
the poor unlucky soldier who had goose
lying around loose.
Well" said Quinn, Eve have a cou-
pie of geese"
where did you get them?" sternly
demanded the colonel.
1.-The same place where you got
yours"
what do you mean, sir?" roared the
colonel.
why you had goose for dinner, and
so did we," replied Ed, who had hard
work to repress another smile.
The colonel studied over his bill of
fare fer dinner and replied. well,
boys, say no more about it: I'll pay for
the geese this time; but don't send me
any more For weeks after the brig
ade would salute the colonel with he
war cry, "All right on the goose."-
