A HAPPY REUNION
They Drank From the Same Can.
teen, More Than Fifty
Years Ago.

James Madden came down fro m
Worthing on Monday in response to
word that Felix Reaum, of Chicago,
was visiting relatives and friends for
few days only, and James could not
let this opportunity slip, as Mr..
Reaum and he were comrades of the
95th Ill. Infty, both serving in Co. A.
of that Regiment.
This reunion was certainly enjoyed
by the veterans, and In their rem
iniscenses of the war and service fifty
years ago, was pleasure to both, and
II there is a joke to be told on one or
the other it is taken with no object
ions because what one says or does is
o. K. with the other, whereas If any
other individual started something
there would be trouble, and as James
related the story and incident to the
christening of Felix as "Clem" Com
rade keaum offered no objections. 1t
was during the days when tobacco
was worth 81 90 per plug down near
Nashville, Tenn, at the time when
Confederate currency was plenty and
almost valueless, when the suttlers
would graft the soldiers in a merciless
manner, these conditions of course
prompted the boys to be very econom-
ical with tobacco.
The 95th was halted, and big fat
Nanny in company with her ole
dark hubby strolled down the line of
the regiment begging "chaw' ter
backer, the boys in blue all being
short of this luxury caused the old
colored couple to appear disappointed.
1t was then that Felix Reaum of Co.
A. displayed his kind nature and
generosity. Nanny said Felix,
"I'll give you chaw." He then cut
off large cud. told the nanny to
stand erect place her hands by her
sides and open wide her mouth, In the
meantime old Uncle stood near with
water rolling down his cheeks, and
his darky mouth watering in antici-
patton of realization. Felix held the
terhacker over old Mammy's head and
ordered her TO grab with her mouth,
the old nanny stood on her tip toes
and strained herself In vain, for Felix
would let her tongue just touch the
stuff and how the old lady did work
she sweat and twisted her tongue and
jaw in dozen different angles to get
that "terbacker" the whole 95th was
In mutinous shouts and laughter in
fact so much that the Colonel OF the
Regiment rode up, unseen by Felix,
and in stern voice exclaimed "Felix
what are you doing with that old
lady?" Felix replied Colonel none
OF the boys would give this Auntie q
chew and was" "You give her that
tobacco" commanded the Commander
you should feel ashamed to make ar
exhibition Of your self before thi.
army The Colonel then turned b
the old darky and asked what II

your name Uncle?" "My name Kunel
is Glen, yes sab, Glenn" The Colonel
then ordered attention, 95th Ill, as
Commanding officer of this Reg. 1, do
hereby in the presence of this dis
tinguished Reg. christen Felix Reaum
OF Co. A. to be known hereafter as
''Clem'', amid the great shouts from
the boys, while Felix took his place in
company line the old Nanny and
Uncle divided the tobacco.
This was very trying ordeal for
Felix, but with the air of subordi-
nate OF Independence, typical of the
soldiery Of 81, he addressed his super
ior with compliment and informed
that he would get even, and he did at
the first opportunity.
During the siege of the Spanish
Fort, the Regiment was short on
rations and for seven days the boys
had nothing to eat but shelled corn,
this mule feed going into the inner
and most sensitive part OF man with
out laxative, naturally made the
boys irritable and it was only thru
their pride In making good the re-
! putation OF the 95th that kept them
from doing things con ntrary to military
discipline.
1t was under these conditions that
Felix resolved to play even with the
Commander. 1t was during rainy
night, the Colonel's tent wherein he
had darky guarding his provisions,
was raided by Felix while the officer
and Darky were fast arleep, and Felix
cautiously raised the wall of the tent
and thereof did take one can of -four,
he then informed his comrades and
they then built a fire, melted the
solder from the canteens, thus
making useful frying pans of the
same, and with water and salt they
prepared their batter, after which
pancakes were In order, however the
boys had their fill, but their poor
stomachs were so saturated with
shelled corn gas they nearly died with
belly ache when mule feed was mixed
with flap jacks.
Some months after, the Colonel
called Felix on the carpet, asked II he
stole the -four, Felix said he did, to
which the Col. replied, that wa
fortunate for him that he told the
truth, had he told lie he would have
been compelled to carry cord O.
wood on his back up and down ir
front of the Colonels quarters for two
weeks.
Felix told one,on James but as be
has been cur Lincoln County friend
now for forty years, we will reserve i
for future use in case he crowds Fell,

Mr.. Reaum is uncle to John and
Will Haws he has resided in Chicag
