Soldiers Home. Gov. Cochran seems to
be man without tact. il nothing worse.
and he is accused OF many things THAT

now reach us that the Government tow

so that each inmate Is compelled to
furnish his own towels and soap. and
that they are about to take away from

of my company. remembrance of the
time we had at Forsythe, Mo-, came to
me, and had few smiles over it In
February, 1863, moving toward Rolla
we became mud-stalled at Forsythe
and my company was detailed to run
a grist mill on Beaver Creek, seven
miles east. We had four army wagons
hauling in corn to grind, and a cavalry
detail of 13 men to look out for bush
whackers. One day we went up Beaver
Creek about 3 miles to John Morgan's
place for corn and to get some so BUSH
els of wheat he was said to have. When
we were near the house Morgan broke
for the woods. and got into the brush
before the cavalry could head him off.
Loading three wagons with corn, we
went to the house to look for the wheat.
Asking the old lady if they had any
wheat, she replied: No. we hain't got
no wheat The Sergeant said to Abe
Emerson, a big six-footer: Abe, look
upstairs and see il the wheat is up
there Going upstairs was done on a
ladder, and Abe got his foot on the
third rung when the old lady, who
weighed about 230 pounds, caught him
by the coat.tails, and cried: Come
down from tn lr!' and she gave a pull
at the coat. which, with the 230 pounds
behind 1t, meant business. Abe could
get no farther, as the irate lady of the
| house had her foot on the lower runs
and was well braced. All right; II

all holds. he fell back onto the old
lady, who landed on her back on the
floor, and Abe sat on her bread basket
1t is needless to say that the wind was
so taken out of her that Abe got up
stairs before she could again interfere
and he found the wheat, which was
