of making so much fuss about it. He
would surrender.
Il at once removed the pressure,
assisted my prisoner to his feet,
patted him into shape, introduced my
self, learned that his name was John
Folsom, and we proceeded to get
breakfast. We felt better after that,
and in friendly spirit discussed the
situation. 1t was clear to us that,
If we went toward Louisville on
the road before us, we were
just as liable to meet confederates
as unionists. Therefore we agreed
that we would go forward, each one
carrying his own gun. If we struck
a detachment of unionists he was my
prisoner; if we came upon confed
crate picket line, was his prisoner.
This seemed to both of us very
good plan. But the times were out of
joint, and the first man we met was
suspicious civilian hitching his horse
to light wagon. He wanted to know
why in thunder we were going about
together that way. l explained that
the confederate was my prisoner. He
wanted to know why in Sam Hill /

Then he ordered the fellow to take my
gun away from me. He would not
listen to any explanation, and we
joined teams on him, tied him to a
tree, and, taking his horse and wagon,
cut out for Louisville.

had had peck of trouble, and stated
the substance of our protocol. saw
that he doubted the story, and asked
him to send us to Gen. Nelson, who, I
knew, was in chief command. l told
him that /, Dan r. Anderson, of the
First Kentucky, came direct from

John Folsom, came direct from Bragg's
army, and we might have news for
Gen. Nelson.
This struck the officer favorably,
as he said there was such mix-up in
front that they didn't know where
either army was. But he added:
Great Caesar, you don't know Nelson!'
There Is where he missed it, for had
been in the old Ironclad division
through the Nashville, Shiloh, Corinth
and McMinnville campaigns, and had
had personal interview With Nelson
not many weeks before, in which he
had expressed his views with remark

we were taken before Nelson,
guarded as spies. He was in tower
ing rage, as usual. He wanted to do
all the talking, until remarked that
l came from his old Fourth division.
Thereupon his whole manner changed.
He asked eagerly after every brigade
and regiment, asked how we had Jared
on the march, said he had wished we
were with him thousand times. Then
he asked scores of questions as to the
condition of Buells army. When
said the boys were full of fight, but
little shy on rations, he said: God
bless EN-; we'll make that all right
I'm short, 1 and my prisoner gave
Nelson a good deal of information
about the two armies-in fact, the first
report in detail that he had been able
to secure. He was very grateful. Fol.
som, at my request, was released on
parole and l was practically given the
freedom of the city. Two days later,
when our division marched in from
West Point, l was among those who
gave it enthusiastic welcome. Folsom
had disappeared, and l have never
seen him since. Yet feel in my bones

Lincoln as a Lawyer.

A leader Of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia a story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
when Lincoln was practising law"
he said, "he had case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, a retired paper manufactur.
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
"'Mr. Dash,' Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper up to

A WARTIME PACT.
Agreement Whereby Confederate and

John Folsom was confederate,

lates an old soldier in the Chicago In
ter Ocean. I'VE struck up an ac-
quaintance under the most extraordi-
nary circumstances, and l would like
to compare notes with him now. The
two armies marched for month on
nearly parallel roads. Neither general
wanted to fight, but each wanted to
reach Louisville before the other. In
the feints, bluffs and covering ma
neuvers there was liable to be at any
time a general mix-up.

HIS MEN FIRST.
How Rear Admiral Evans Delayed

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans de-
termination to give two terribly
wounded men every possible chance
for their lives. One was an officer, the
other bluejacket, but they Jared
alike.
Among those wounded by the eX-
plosion of ammunition in the tur-
ret of the Kearsarge off Guantanamo
bay, Cuba, on April 13, 1906, were
Lieut.. Graeme, of the Maryland, who
was acting as gun umpire, and Viii.
liam King, A. B., of the Kearsarge.
They were taken to the sick bay of
the Kearsarge, frightfully burned.
Orders had been issued for the
squadron to report at New York on
April 20. Meantime target practice
had been finished.
TOO bad we have to go to sea-"
said one of the officers.
"Have the wounded men any
chance?" asked the "Old Man"
Very little" the surgeon replied.
Lieut.. Graeme is very low King has
temperature of 1O5, pulse $50, res
piration 55. 1t doesn't seem pos
sible-"
WELL" interrupted the "Old Man,
"the first division will lie at anchor
as long as there is any chance OF
saving those lives. I'm not going to
weaken the men with the noise and
concussion of gun firing"
Lieut. Graeme died on the sixth
day. Bill" King, A. b., burly coal
miner from Pennsylvania, still hung
on to life with marvellous grip.
Admiral Evans went to see him.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
Fine, sir, thanks" Bill replied, in
tiny voice, broken by pain and
quick breathing. "They all think
I'm going to die, but l know I car
beat it. I'm going to see my mother
She'll be anxious"
The "Old Man" had left the sicA
bay. Some things are too much ever
for the autocrat of the. squadron.
King lived four days more. Or
the tenth day after the accident he
breathed his last They buried hin
on the hill back of the bay. Then the
first division of the first Atlantic
squadron put out to sea, wen
through target practice, and SAILED
for New York.

| ''Old Oakum'' was one of the odd
| characters of Honolulu up to about
| thirty years ago. He was a harmless
creature whose one talent was that
| of collecting honey from bee trees
without being stung. Where he came
from or was born. or just what his
nationality was. We're matters not well
known, for '.Old Oakum'' seemed to
have forgotten all about himself long
before coming to Honolulu which must
have been in the early SOS.
Many old-timers like DR.. Rodgers. J.
W. Girvin and ]. o. Carter remember
the man well. He told a story of
blood-curdling experiences through
which he had gone and one was
that he had been scalped by In
dams. However. his long. curly
hair did not bear out this story. There
seemed at least to have been a tragedy
sometime in his life while he was in
the United states.
AS far as could be learned his name
appears to have been Holcomb and
from this he derived the nickname of
tOld Oakum.'' 1t is thought he was
an Englishman.
I remember Old Oakum,'" said DR..
Rodgers last evening. zone thing that
struck me was his strong resemblance
to the late Joe Jefferson. He had the
same broad mouth and the Jefferson
chin. His great talent was collecting
honey. He scented to know where all
the bee trees We're and he constantly
carried a bucket in which he gathered
the honey and sold it to people.
IF anybody wanted hive of bees
changed they called on him.. 1 don't
know that he was ever stung. He had
a queer theory, such a theory as ors
not in his right mind might be ex-
pected to advance. He claimed that if
a bee was permitted to sting one in a
certain place in the palm of the. hand
the poison would connect with nerve
which ran to the lungs and would cure
any case of consumption. 1 believe
that ne was finally taken to the asy-
lum where I presume he died One
time Peter Cartwright who took an
interest in the old fellow, gave him

days. The old fellow did not keep the
