changed. l would like Colonel Eel

was kept in place of safety while
was always at the 'front.' When
the applause which followed had
subsided Colonel Fellows arose and
eaid:

from Mississippi for giving me an
opportunity to explain that part of
my military record which l appre-
bend has never been sufficiently
clear. 1t is true / was taken pris-
oner the first year of the war, and
the enemy, well knowing the danger
OF my being at large, persistently
refused to release me until peace
was restored. Had 1 been promptly
exchanged the result of the war
might have been different! But
why it was that my friend from
Mississippi was so repeatedly and
promptly exchanged is question
that until yesterday I had never
been able to understand.
