| want you to say a good word for me-
to President Mckinley
81 am willing to do anything can
within the bounds of reason, UncAe
Joe, but what do you want me to do
or say?'
"I want you to ask the president
to make me a brigadier general Of vol
unteers and send me right to the
front
"'Oh, Uncle Joe, you don't want to
do any more fighting. You are too old
to encounter the hardships of activa

"'There is where you are mistaken.

as a pine knot Will you go?'
"'Of course l will, Uncle joe and
we went l told President Mckinley
what Uncle Joe had said and put in
as strong an appeal as | could for his
appointment. l thought there was a
dampness about President McKinleys
eyes that was a little unusual and that
there was a tremor in his voice when
he said, 'Geneneral Wheeler, / will
let you know in a day or two
when we left the White House
Uncle Joe was still a little nervous.
I'm afraid he does not take kindly
to IT, he said. I think he does, Uncle
Joe: l believe he will appoint you
Senator, l hope so, with all my
heart. Nothing in this wide world
could possibly please me as much as
to have the right to put on the uni
form of the army and take a part in
this war
ITO tell the solemn truth, there was
a dampness in my eyes, and did not
make any reply to Uncle Joe's re-
mark.
"A few days after that the president
sent batch of appointments Of gen.
erals to the senate for confirmation.
and in the batch appeared the name
of Uncle Joe as a major general OF
volunteers, a higher rank than he
had asked for.
"As you know, those were hurrying
times. Uncle Joe rushed around and
got his uniform as soon as possible,
was given a division TO command. and
helped to win glory for the American
army and the American nation, both
in Cuba and in the Philippine islands"
