PERMIT WAS BROAD ENOUGH
Wartime "Reminiscences Illustrative
Of the Humor Of President
lincoln

Mr.. Linton Park. who is now an In
mate of the Soldiers and Sailors
home at Erie, Pa, was among those
who joined in the chorus, 1--WE are
coming, Father Abraham, three hun
dred thousand more" He enlisted at
Washington, and was assigned to the
Second District of Columbia regiment,
relates Youths Companion
Mr.. Park was then, as now, vege-
tartan. While he could assimilate ev-
erything connected with his answer to
the call of duty from the stand of pa
triotism, he could not assimilate the
army pork. 1t was plain that If the
government wished to do the square
thing by Park 1t would have to show
observation-disclosures in the matter of
rations.
So he took his troubles to President
Lincoln, and explained that in some
respects he was like the children of
Israel after they set out from Egypt.
He could not forget the leeks and
onions with which he was wont to re-
gale himself back in Indiana county.
Lincoln smiled "You want me to
turn you out to Craze like Nebuchad-
nezzar?" he asked.
ct would beat salt pork" was Mr..
Parks reply. Thereupon Mr.. Lincoln
wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet
of paper:

with granted permission to browse

and enjoyed it quite as much as Lin

THEN hE FELT STREAKED.
Hubby Was Too Obliging When
There Wasn't Any Occa-
sion for It

A gentleman and his wife were sit
ting in one of the front rows in a the
alter. On the floor the man saw a large
hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi
cago Daily News tells what he did
with it
Looking about him, he saw that
two women and their escorts had just
sat down. To one of the women he
presented the pin. A shake of the head
indicated that he had made a mistake.
Then he tried two ladies across the
aisle. They seemed to be interested.
The pin was a curiosity, and its amber
of a unique carving. They hesitated,
but handed the pin back.
Desperately, he began the search
anew. Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners. To them also he
showed the pin. They took it and en-
joyed it's pattern.
Just then the man felt tug on his
sleeve. 1t was his wife, and she re-
marked, why are you showing my
hat-pin to strangers?"
Blushing, he went over to the la
dies, who were still looking at the pin,
and explained.
Its my wife's PIN he said, but in
such consciously guilty accents that
the women handed it back with doubt
ing smiles.

MAJOR BRAGG.
He Attended Church in South, But
Didn't Sit in the ''Niggers"
Gallery.

Gen. Bragg was noted in the army
for his faithful attendance at religious
services. One Sunday when the regi-
ment in which he was then major was
encamped near that town he went
with fellow officer to church at Fred
ericksburg. 1t was the most fashion
able church in town and the people
did not have any great amount of love
for union officers. The sexton glanced
at the blue uniforms and then started
to lead the visitors upstairs.
What are you going up there for?"
inquired Bragg.

it?"
yes

Bragg.

ginning to look scared.
Then show us to it," and the order
was promptly obeyed.

it and stuck to it, and since then
have been a new man. The change in
health began in few days and sur

seventy-two years of age, I do lots o.

RoUT OF SECOND KANSAS.
It Was Brought About by Charge of
Bees and Not Men with
Guns.

One fine day, as the Second Kansas
regiment was marching through
southern Missouri, one of the men OBJ
served a lot of bees near a farmhouse,
and was Immediately convinced of a
call to forage. He was one of the
reckless fellows, on such expeditions
who would go through any adventure
that promised something good to eat
AS if entirely unconscious of the pres
ence of the bees, he proceeded at
once to help himself by turning over
q gun and knocking the head out
with the butt of his musket, cutting
the honey loose with his bayonet
After securing a quantity of the
sweet on the point of his baycnet he
fell into line and we fell out double
quick, and more, for the bees came
charging US worse than the enemy
ever did, and they certainly felt as
if they had their bayonets fixed. The
boys couldn't stand the charge of the
little creatures, and soon we were
the picture of an inglorious rout At
last we forced t he bee-general and
his army into the stra gglers' line, but
he carried his booty safe into camp,

jacks and honey we felt almost like
