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

During the latter years of the wal
the armies were frequently obliged to
make rapid marches without their pro-
vision trains and ut 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 a result of all
Chis the men were constantly devising
ways and mean 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 "a
lions were rather low it took sharp
watching on the part of the officers to
prevent the men from fOraging when
yer the chance presented itself. On
n 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 Il review that
had been arranged on the spur of the
moment for Il 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 it it gave forth no
sound whatever. This exaSperated the
colonel. who shouted repeatedly to
drum harder. Finally, in Il great rage
he came down to where the latter
stood pounding for dear life and sweat
ing like a field hand.
why in blank, blank. blank don't
you peat that drum louderf' he shout
ed.
Colonel" said the drummer in Il
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
So" the colonel replied. Fall out at
once and go back to your quarters"
As Il matter of course the colonel
subsequently shared in the repast.
