The Way Our Nickname 10 Said to
Have Originated.
This familiar nickname for the Unit
ed States is said to have come about In
the following manner:
During the war Of 1872 the United
States government entered into n CON
tract with Ebert Anderson TO furnish
supplies to the army. Whenever the
United States buys anything from n
contractor II appoints an inspector TO
see that the goods are up to the speci-
fications. In this case the government
appointed a man by the name Of Sam
uel Wilson, He was a jolly, whole
eouled man and was Familiarity known
as Uncle Sam.
1t was his duty to inspect every box
and cask that came from Ebert An
derson, the contractor, and IL the con-
tents were all right the cargo was
marked with the letters "E. A.-U. S."

The man whose GuIy Il was 10 &
this marking was something Of Il joker,
and when somebody asked him one
day what these letters stood for he
said that they meant Ebert Anderson

himself, thought this a very good Joke.
