er period without rest ON a single ra-
ton Of cheerful good humor than any
other officer. Though not given to
jokes, he was the reputed author of
as many astonishers as the great Lin

One time, on the march, he sent an
orderly with message'to dn officer at
some distance. Before the. man was
out Of hearing Moore shouted: "Hey,

His Business Ability.

In the Adirondacks lives a man too
lazy to work, but evidently Of great
business ability. One winter when he
was sitting around smoking his family
came so near starvation that some OF
his neighbors, who could i'll afford to
help him, took up a collection and
bought for the suffering family bar
rel Of -four, barrel of pork and a
load Of wood. They were not consid-
crate enough to cut the wood, but the

He hired some of the neighbors who
had not contributed to his donation to
cut the wood and paid them with half
the pork and half the flour.-Lippin-
