might judge by th" stories current of hue
adventures. lie was slightly deaf. AMI
could appear Tremendously so when 10
riited his purpose.
IA we strolled down tho street after
supper we came to u saloon that was a
4hade less disrpputable In appearance than
the Others, and I suggested a moiptener.
The General accepted, and we went in and
called for lemon.iie.
1T was evidently an unusual call, hut az
we were on duty nothing stronger was de-
sired. The %barkeeper got onto his lob.
but II took some little time. and before hs
had II half made n man who looked 10 ba
about seven feet tall came in and filed tina
room,
Ills glance fell on us, and with n faro
cious yell he ranged alongside. When hs
didn't yell he cursed. and beside the wells
and curses his few words seem unimportant,
still, they are the only part of his Grafton
hat | shall attempt to reproduce.
What have we herel Army o~f1ceral
Ha! Ar-r-r-my officers! United States
Army, too he cried.
"'Shut up observed the barkeeper, a.
he shook the lemonade.
shut up yourself! | won't shut upl
United States Army officers, | know 'eml
| tell you, | know emf
He roared his curses and kept edging
nearer, as luck would nave il, getting very'
close to the General. That officer, deaf
that no stick went into the lemonade, took
no notice.
"'Shut up or get out snapped the bar
keeper again, and he said it as IL he meant
business.
"~'Out-nothing!' roared the giant, al
most beside himself. I'm after this United
States Army. I fit 'em -four years and I'll
fight 'em aRain!'
