MORE YOUNGEST VETERANS
Recent Discussion Brings Forward
Two Under Sixty.

SbaVf S'N>ys
That highly interesting hero, the
youngest veteran" of the civil war,
continues to bob up serenely now and
then. He seems to be almost If not
quite as numerous as the last survivor
Of the charge of the Light brigade
at Balaklaya. The surprisingly large
number Of men still living who enlist
ed when mere lads helps to uphold the
statement frequently made by indi-
viduals and proved by the records Of
the war department that the great
conflict was fought and won by boys
young fellows who enlisted In their
teens. The records show preponder
ance of such early enlistments.
Last March New York paper print
ed a brief obituary Of the youngest
veteran" who had just died at the
age Of sixty-two. The editor received
a food Of communications from claim
ants to that distinction. One modest
veteran from Brooklyn, signing him
self simply Cavalry" wrote, II served
two years and six months and am not
yet sixty-two." Then f. Blemly, lv-
ing in another part Of Greater New
York, giving his birth date as Jan. 81,
1S49, came forward with this state
ment: II served under Sheridan and
Custer In the Shenandoah valley until
the close Of the war, and I have a
year yet to hang on to the saddle be-
fore reach sixty-two."

POULTRY IN HIS BASS DRUM.
Unlueky Drummer Had to Share His
Prize With the Colonel.

Unlucky Drummer RAD 10 Sndre MS
Prize With the Colonel.
During the latter years of the war
the armies were frequently obliged to
make rapid marches without their pro
vision trains and at other times were
obliged to pass through devastated re-
gions, where there was not the slight
est prospect of obtaining anything In
the way of food. AS result Of all
this the men were constantly devising
ways and means of obtaining, secret
Ing and transporting food about their
persons.
On one of the marches Of the Army
Of the Cumberland the soldiers had
orders not to forage, but as their ra-
tons were rather low 1t took sharp
watching on the part of the officers to
prevent the men from foraging when
ever the chance presented itself. On
one occasion the bass drummer Of one
Of the regimental bands managed to
secure two turkeys and six chickens
which he secreted in the interior Of
his bass drum. When they reached
camp that evening the band was or
dered out TO play for review that
had been arranged on the spur of the
moment for a distinguished officer who
had arrived on a visit. All this hap
pened before the bass drummer had
time to remove his live poultry from
the inside OF his drum, and. of course,
when he struck 1t II gave forth no
sound whatever. This exasperated the
colonel. who shouted repeatedly to
drum harder. Finally, in great rage,
he came down to where the latter
stood pounding for dear life and sweat
ing like field hand.
why in blank, blank, blank don't
you beat that drum louder?" he shout
ed.
Colonel" said the drummer In a
voice husky with anguish, there's two
turkeys and six chickens inside this
drum, and half of them are for you"
"Well, why in blazes didn't you say
SOP the colonel replied. Fall out at
once and go back to your quarters"
As a matter of course the colonel
subsequently, shared In the repast.

speech to his chief and had already
had a dawning realization Of the great
figure Grant was to play in the civil
war his responses were clear and to
the point and visibly impressed Mr..
Lincoln as being as true as they were
complimentary.
General Leggett returned to the
west, and when the Union troops
marched into Vicksburg he had the
honor, although suffering from severe
wounds, to ride into that city at the
head Of tho First brigade, which was
granted the privilege Of being the first
to enter, receive the surrender and
raise the Union dag.

Grant IN the Saddle.

Grant was at his best In the saddle.
The one real record that he made for
himself at the academy. the one time
that he excelled all his fellows, was
at the final mounted exercises Of his
graduating class. when. riding a ia
nous horse named York. he was called
upon to clear the leaping bar that the
gruf old riding master had placed
higher than a mans head. He dashed
out from his place In the ranks. a
smooth faced. slender young fellow
on a powerful chestnut sorrel, and
galloped down the opposite side Of the
ball, turned and went directly at the
bar. the great horse increasing bis
pace as he neared it and then, as If
he and his rider were one, rising and
clearing It with a magnificent bound

"All right" was the response, and

was permitted to present General

possible, while Mr.. Lincoln listened.

Turning to the secretary, the presi.

Cleveland, how many at Detroit, how
many here and how many there
until he had gone over the available
force in the west and had demonstrate
ed that $4,000 or 10000 troops could be
sent to Grant.
Then Mr.. Lincoln asked General Leg

"At 8 p. m.," the general answered.
"Well, I want you until then," said
Mr.. Lincoln.
A carriage was ordered and the two

When in the morning of the year,

laughter. And the fragrance of her
steamy breath is intoxicating and
the loosed streams are world music.
And the pale points that cut the
mold are whispering millions of June
leaves and tented ranks of gold
October cornfelds. Then the high
ways, the earth's arteries, pulse with
rouslng life and up and down their
length comes the masterful call that

without enjoying any pleasure in
doing it, I would quit it. OF cours e
it goes without saying that if I had
to get along without the other
essential I would have to quit the
business. And I want to lay down
this proposition as maxim: If a
man gets no pleasure out of a voca-
ton or business he will get mighty
little profit out of it. The pleasure
is in achieving success, in producing
horsess@of superior excellence, in
making business blessing to the
community, in demonstrating results
of scientific breeding and skillful
handling, in raising the standard of
your own efforts and in leading
others to higher aspirations. I had
rather have the distinction of
breeding, raising, feeding and fitting
an international champion than the
honor of a high office. And my
achievement would be worth as much
to the great producing class of
people-yea, more-than than is
the achievement of some so.called
statesmen who cannot see above
their environment far enough to
realize the dignity and Importance
