the least fighting during the war are
the ones who are still fighting with
their tongues
Comrade Lansing Williams of Col
UNDUE, and other members of the mon
ument commission. said, among other
things: 1T is most surprising that
the marshy place along the little brook
mat ran through the stockade has so
grown up to trees and underbrnsh.
The brook has cut for itself a channel
three or four feet deep and thus drained
what was in 1864 shaky quagmire.
leaving the ground quite dry. That
brook was nasty place when we were
in the prison, the water vile stuff In
drink. There were A wells dag for
water in different parts of the stock.
ade, some of them from 40 to 50 feet
deep. In this way some of the men
got fairly good water. 1t is a curious
thing that during the 43 years since
then only two of those wells have
caved in. In digging tn wells some
of the fellows foole4 the Johnnies.
After getting down ten or twelve feet
they would turn at right angles ana
dig a tunnel under the stockade. and
in this way few of our comrs les
made their escape.
1t was, think, the 9Th of August
when, after a ver.- heavy rain one
night, the so-called Providence spring
broke out, I have heard that this
spring was there when the stockade
was built, but the opening to the sur
face stopped up so that the water
soaked away in the ground toward the
creek. | suppose the heavy rain so
washed away the ground above that
the water broke out to the surface.
1t was most providential thing for us
that it did so. 1t ran a pretty good
sized stream and went good ways
toward supplying our needs. I have
seen hundreds. yes. thousands, of fell
lows waiting there for their cups. The
spring was inside the dead line,' but a
trough had been placed in such a way
as to conduct the water TO a half bar
rel set to receive it. There Is now
SlaAite pdFlliDn over luS SPRING anu
the water is conducted by a pipe to a
marble font within. 1t is good drink
ing water but rather warm 1t is the
w. r. C. that has done all these
things to improve and preserve the
grounds.

HAzINe OF LITTLE BOB.

Thus unused Little Bob La Toilette

I'm a freshman seeking knowledge.
and I'm of for senate college,
Where statesman gets his Uncle
Sam degree.
l have studied many freight bills and
I'm posted on these rate bills;
When opponents of reform disclose
their plot,
will put a hot response in for my
grand old state, Wisconsin,
And I'll tie the crooked railroads In
a knott"
But-also! that l must pen it--when
he got into the senate,
Wicked seniors brought gag and
said, Look here,
Freshmen must not talk nor ROSTER,
they must be as dumb's an oys-
ter,
Till they've hung around the col
lege for a year"
Let 'em hang!,' La Toilette muttered.
with such clods the senate's
cluttered,
But the badger state has put me ON
the job,
I'm no deaf and dumb asylum, and al
though t will doubtless rile
'em,
They are going to hear a speech
from Little Bob.!"
Then bis maiden speech he started,
whoreat twenty seniors darted
For the circumjacent cloakrooms,
earless-walled,
Where they loafed and hibernated,
two whole days while Bob

Later, too, they all rebuffed him,
baited, bulied, bothered, bluffed
him,
For month they fairly chortled
in their joy,
As they tantalized and tricked him
as they tabled, cuffed, and
kicked him.
They we're hazing Little Bob, the
badger boy.
When the college session ended, Lit
tie Bob at once descended
Like ton of brick upon each haz-
er's state,
And in lectures records quoted. show
ing how each hazer voted
In support of railroad steals the
people hate;
How their action had impeded iegis
lation badly needed,
How reforms their ardent opposi-
ton met.
Then the voters asked a reason for
the things that smacked Of
treason,
And the hazers haven't ceased ex.
planning yet!

"On-the-Job La Toilette,
