soon landed Jordan and the mutton
on the other side, returning for the
woman and myself We had decided
to leave the children on that side,
where they were to wait for the wom-
an. She got in the boat and sat in the
stern end, while I was in the front.
We pushed off, and when about mid
stream the woman turned to speak to
the children, when the old trap
: Topped over quicker than you could
think. Both Hawkins and l could
swim, but the woman went under
with her mouth wide open, screaming
for dear life. She soon came to the
surface, however, and between the
two OF us and some vines that grew
near the top of the water we got her
ashore. In the meantime the kids on
the other side had set up a howl that
had brought scores of soldiers to the
banks to see what was going on. We
let the canoe float downstream, where
it was caught by some of the BOYS
and tied fast to the bank for us. BY
this time the banks were lined with
Yanks, and every mothers son of
them had grin on his face eight
inches wide and two inches thick, for
they all thought we had swiped the
mutton and the woman had caught us.
but we soon dispelled this idea. We
went to our tent, and dished out the
grub for the woman and handed her
the three paper halfdollars. Her eyes
bulged out like two buckeyes on n
forked stick at the sight of the money.
She couldn't read, / reckon, for she
said, What kind of money Is this 2"
Yankee money" said we. Gosh. /"
said she, Il meant confederate
money" And then 1t Just dawned ON
me that the woman had beaten us, for
any amount of confederate money
could be had at that time for 25 cents
on the dollar. If we had been Rock
efeller or Russell Sage we could have
bought that sheep for one greenback
dollar. We didn't lose anything, how.
ever for we sold three of the quarters
of mutton for six dollars, and had all
we wanted left. We ate so much OF
1t. In fact. that 1t made us all sick,

since. / didn't sleep good or walk

TOXIC November 21.-While there has

ton with the emigration Of japanese to

tons point to the conclusion that the
