THE CoLONEL's STORY.

How Jim Adkins Went to War, Got
Buried and Was Resurrected.
"Talking about war times" said
the old colonel, ''did any Of you
ever hear the story Of Jim Adkins?
/ "No."
"Well, I'm surprised. Everybody
in the settlement knew it. Jim was
no count sort of a fellow, and the
old man was anxious to get rid OF
him. so when the war broke out and
they were looking around for men
the old man gave him away" M
"Gave him away?"
eyes. Jim was in the hayloft,
and they were about to leave with
out him when the old man winked
and pointed to the barn.
'That was enough, and they got
him and marched him to the front.
"The old man was sorry after
Jim was gone, and his conscience
hurt him bad. But he hoped for
the best, until one day he got mes
sage that told him Jim had been
killed and buried ON the battlefield.
"Then he packed his grip and
started right off to bring Jim's body
home if possible, for the grief strick-
en- mother would have nothing else
and made life miserable for him
with her reproaches.
"He went to, Virginia and was
there informed that it would be i'm
possible to remove the body, So he
stood over the spot where it wa
buried and wept for three days.
Then he went sadly home.
sAnd, 10 and behold, the first
man he met as he neared his gate
was Jim-safe, sound and right side
up with care
cit was some time before the old
man could say word, but when he
found it was really Jim-in flesh
and blood-that they had got Jim
mixed up with some other Adkins,
and he hadn't been killed at all, the
old man was hot! He slowly diyest-
ed himself of his coat, then rolled
up his sleeves and made for him!
1t was the liye6est scrap You ever
saw-the old man on top and the
two Of 'em wallowing in the dust
ut. took the old lady and the
three girls and two stout darkies to
pullthe old man off.
Gle never did explain why he did
it,. and jim didn't ask any questions,
but the next morning he told his
mother that while his furlough
wasn't out, still he knew his country
needed him andIhe couldn't stand to
stay at home under those eircum-
stances, so he left his blessings for
the old man and took the first train
for the front. Atlanta Constitu-

She Didn't Count.

A writer, to illustrate one view of
charity, said that two old men were
smoking and drinking together
after dinner. The host rang the
bell and an old woman appeared.
"Confound you, stupidp' said the
host. Didn't [ tell you | wanted
the Scotch? Take this back and
bring what ] asked for, you old
fool~ t'Come, come," said the
guest after the old woman had hur-
ried away in great fright. Come,
come, my friend, don't you think
you are rather too sharp with your
old servant ?" "Oh," said the other,
'she's not a servant. She's only a
poor relation I'm keeping out of
charity" The guest looked relieved.
."'That alters the case, Of course" he
said.
