Senator Vardaman, so the story
goes, says Judge, once rented a plot
of several acres to one of his black
neighbors. The land was to be
planted in corn, and the Senator,
then Ex-Governor, was to receive
one-fourth. The corn was duly
harvested, but the Senator did not
receive his fourth. Meeting the
negro one day, he said:

Indians Idea of Weight.

An Indian went hunting one day
for deer. After tramping through
the woods for some hours, he came
across a herd and managed to kill
one. He shouldered it and started
for market, which was some five
miles away. Now of course, the
longer he walked. the heavier the
deer got, and by the time he reach
ed the market, he was about all in.
He hung the deer on the scales, and
stood looking at it with wonder.
Finally he said to the man: Ugh!
Let him hang awhile."-Mack's Ma

Why He Sympathized.

The physicians in Mankato, says
the Kansas City Star, had agreed
that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ, a small
boy, and each was to pay his share of
the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, with
out disturbing the speakers, as it
was embarrassing to him and look
ed as if they were doing 1t to adver-
ties without expensive.
So it all went we'll until the
afternoon when Strickland w. Gill;
land spoke. AS he was talking away
a certain doctor had a call from the
platform, and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some of the people
who knew of the arrangement
laughed or snickered, and the speak
er got it. He said: Don't laugh,
folks. That is the way my brother
got his start"
And everybody roared.

she set about teaching him the in

could run up or down a column of
figures readily but she could not
make him understand how to carry"
from one column to another when
the total was more than nine.
Finally the teacher called on one
of the little girls in the class and
told her she would give her a dime il
she could make the newcomer under
stand the process. Next day the
little girl called to claim the money.
How did you make him see it so
quickly?" inquired the teacher.
"Oh, | told him when he got a
number of two figures to put down
the one on the right and tote the
other across, and he knew what I
meant right away"

CAPTURE OF FORT JOHNSON
Sergeant oronpeck Tells How Expe-

at James Island.

I think congress would pass the ex.
prisoners bill in hurry if the legis-
lators had a fair conception Of the
rebel prisons during the war. / en-
listed September 10, 1861, and was
discharged May 2, 1866, with but one
enlistment. They were around in the
winter of 1863-64 re-enlisting men and
paying $500 bounty, but thought
if l stayed in the army three years
and did my duty / would get my
share, so l did not re-enlist, and on
July 8, 1864, l was taken prisoner on
the parapets Of Fort Johnson at James
island, writes Sergt. Leander Oronpeek,
Company F, F1fty-second Pennsyl-
vania, In National Tribune.
An expedition started from Battery
Chatfleld, on the lower part of Morris
island, composed of 67 eight-oared
boats, called surfboats, for the capture
of the fort We had to row against the
tide, and were not able to land until
daybreak. AS soon as the rebels dis
covered what we were doing they
opened up on us, and they made an
awful racket The expedition was COM
posed of all of the men fit for duty of
the Fifty-second Pennsylvania, the
One Hundred and Twenty-sixth New
Jersey and few from the Third
Rhode Island heavy artillery. Seven
boats went back and left US. We
first took Brooks battery, which was
near to the shore on James island,
and then went for Fort Johnson,
which was an earth fort We had to
go through marsh between the forts
Of about an eighth mile.
The commander of the expedition
was Col. Henry M. Hoyt Of our regi
ment. We fought quite awhile, with
and we on the other. We finally got
on top of the parapet, but the colonel
saw there was not enough of US to take
the fort, and he raised his handker-
chief upon his sword and we surren-
dered. l did not know until then that
the rest of the expedition had gone
back and left us, for l did not look
back after we landed until then.
We were taken into Charleston, and
found few rebel soldiers there. We
were sure that If we had. all landed
we could have taken Charleston on
July A, 1864, as easy as not, We were
taken to Andersonville in few days
and were there three or four months
Ours was the ninety-ninth detach-
ment.
l will not say anything about the
rations we got while in Andersonville,
for they were better and were nearly
all cooked and more OF them than re-
ceived while in any other prison.
We were in Charleston about
month, and then we were taken to
Florence. Our rations there were near
ly all raw, and we had no wood to
cook with. Cornmeal was our principal
