Disappointed Man Deserts.

A young man in q New York regiment
was elected lieutenant by his COM
pany. For some reason the Governor
refused to issue the commission and the
young fellow went South in the ranks
It goes without saying that he was very
angry at the Governor. He brooded
over the act until he made himself be-
lieve that he had been wronged by his
country, and the first good chance that
was offered he deserted and offered his
services to the Confederacy. In time
they were accepted and he entered the
secret service
When the Fifth Corps was at Yellow
House, to the left of Petersburg, often
met a fine-looking first lieutenant Of a
New York regiment in the Ninth Corps;
At least that is where he said he be-
longed. Once he rode along the corps
line with several officers out for an
afternoon. l was one Of the party and
became fairly well acquainted with the
New Yorker.
The following spring l was captured.
While on the way to Richmond, and
while resting by the side Of the direct
est road to Petersburg, General A. 2.
Hill the commander of one Of Lees
corps, rode past, followed by his staff.
Imagine my surprise at seeing with the
staff my New York friend, the lieuten-
ant, now clad In a majors uniform-of
gray. / called to him. He looked at
me, samted laughed and passed on
without a word.
A good natured Irish captain had
charge of the prisoners. He was stand
ing close to me when the staff passed
us and noticed the recognition between
the major and myself
what do you know about the ma
jor?" asked the captain.
Nothing, / guess. fused to meet him
in our lines as New York lieutenant"
The captain smiled and said 81 pre-
sumo so he was there q good deal last

"Who and what is hep"
"He is Major Jones one day and Bll
the next, and so on through q long list
Of names. I don't know his real name.
He came from your army a couple of
years ago and declared his desire to
fight You Yankees. He was put at work
in the secret service, and was 50 sue
cessful that few months ago he was
assigned TO duty with HIPS Corps. 1
believe he didn't get the commission
that was promised him in your army"
The answer gave me something to
think about during the balance Of the
journey to Libby PRISON.. A. Wa

The Delicious nRurnoo.o ,

There are few men living to-day
who know how to make a genuine
burgoo. There are those who have
had the smell Of the big wood fire
in their nostrils, the sights and odors
from the big kettle boiling away on
top of the fire. who would give much
to again experience the ecstasy of the
breath-cooled first spoonfuls OF feel
upon their tongues the savory taste Of
its satisfying mixture of meats, vege-
tables, spices and condiments How
was 1t made? Well, you take half a
dozen chickens, portion Of beef, ba-
con, veal, pork, all varieties of wild
game available, put them in 40-gal-
lon kettle. Then add potatoes, celery,
cabbage. parsnips, onions-oh, any
thing from the garden. Put In herbs
and spices, salt and pepper. Boil for
from "a to 36 hours. The proportions
of each ingredient? Alas That's the

Photographed the Emotions.

on human vibration. He showed many
photographs OF these alleged vibra-

one of the nerve centers.
He usually places the flm at night
and leaves It till morning. The vibra-
tions Of the subject throw the nitrate
Of silver on the film into a correspond

registered on the film when developed,
just as the light reflected from an
object through the lens Of camera
registers the form Of that object.

REMEMBERED ONLY TOO WELL
Farmer Used WelI-Learned Phrase at
Unfortunate Time.

A certain wealthy farmer, who
owned broad acres in an aristocratic
section Of the Bay State not so far
distant from Boston, figured among
his neighbors as something of a dia-
mond in the rough. One of his strong
est predictions was to exploit his
rather stiff opinions of persons in
terms that could not be mistaken. His
two daughters had social aspirations,
in the interest of which they had to
give frequent lectures on the social
usages of the community.
when you find that you simply
must let out your opinions of the peo-
pie you meet" the doting parent was
instructed, please always preface
your remarks with the qualifying
clause, present company excepted :"
It happened that the aspiring daugh-
ters were giving dinner that same
night at which they fondly hoped to
give the family a big social boost.
Papa got a severe drilling as to his
table manners, and sat at the head of
the family table with no little trepida-
tion. Under the inspiring influence
of the wine, however, he thawed out
perceptibly, and soon was unburdeD-
ing his soul of all the opinions that
had accumulated in the course of the
dinner. incidentally he gave a vivid
account OF all that impressed him the
day before when he attended the
county fair. which was something Of
an event in the countryside.
Yes. siree." went on the loquacious
family head, Il seen things that was
wuth goin' miles to see. And one
thing l see was the best pen Of hogs
ever .see-present company ex
cepted."
The speaker could not understand
how it was that none Of the guests en-
thused over the live stock display
not until his daughters got a chance
to tell him.

When Jim" Watson of Indiana was
practicing law in Winchester he had
case before local Judge involving the
ownership of a pig. Testimony was
submitted and the justice reserved
decision.
The justice was a candidate for
mayor Of the town, and Watson and
the opposing counsel thought they
saw an opportunity for little fun
"See here, Judge" said Watson,
meeting the justice on the street one
day, unless get judgment in my
favor in that pig case I'm going to op-
pose your election as mayor" Oppos-
ing counsel met the justice and talked
in the same strain.
A couple Of days later they went to-
gether to the justices office. He was
out, but his docket lay open. Opposite
the pig case was the entry: Dis
agreed"
