was at once the forum of open discus
sion, and the court of public opinion.
The Roost also exercised legislative func-
ton and the work of Congress often was
a mere supplementary proceedings. Be-
tween times, history particularly that chap
ter of it which fell in the interval from 1861
to 1869 was corrected and annotated
Lemuel Vickers had his stock of dry
goods and groceries in the room in which
the "Old Boys" met to adjust the delicate
political and economic mechanism of gov
eminent. He also paid the rent of the build
ing. But his business was incidental to the
daily meetings of the veterans who gathered
there The place was seldom, if ever, re-
ferred to as Vickers' store. To everybody
in Grigsby City it was the "Roost" And
Lemuel who had carried musket through
three years of the trouble, regarded the title,
one which an irreverent younger generation
had given his place of business, as compli-
ment rather than as an affront
Most of Lemuel's trade which was
meager enough at best, came from the Old
Boys themselves. 1t could not be said that
he was averse to dealing with those who
had no personal connection with the putting
down OF the Rebellion, but he did little to
encourage their custom. Unless Lemuel
and Uncle Giles Hostettler were again fight
ing the battle of Lookout Mountain, or ex-
cept in the event that the daily engagement
along the Chickahominy had become gen
eral, the chance customer was waited upon
with reasonable promptness. But if the Gus
toner interrupted the advance of the serried
columns of Blue up the side of the Lookout,
Or interfered in any way with "Old Grants
movements, he had to wait until the rebels

we're loyal to Lemuel as they had been to the
lag. On pension days they cashed and
spent their checks at the Roost and Lemuel,

ing OF the early nineties, when the Populists
and Democrats effected fusion which de-
teated the Republican ticket, a disposition to
condone Old Jimmy's offense in the INSIDE
meanor case. AS was often pointed out, he
had not only refused to Swallow the ticket
nominated by the fusion forces, but had ac-
tually voted for the Republican candidates
Those who were against clemency submitted
however, the we'll known fact that he still was
Free Trader and had never irrevocably ac-
cepted the gold standard, and the sentiment
which sought to prevent either Communication
or parole prevailed
The Old Boys showed no open hostility to
Old Jimmy They only ignored him. But
their unspoken contempt was less kindly,
perhaps, than open hostility would have
BEEN Always a silent man, he ventured
toward the last SO nfrequently upon the
conversational sea that the few common
places which fell from his lips were often
swamped in utterance He might have
found congenial company elsewhere. At
Jake Koehlers shoe-shop, where the few
men in Grigsby City who did not believe
the Bible congregated, he would have re-
ceived cordial welcome. The political In
surgents who met three times daily at
Marion Tidwell's grocery to lay bare the cor
ruptlon OF the existing order would have ad-
mitted him to full fellowship. But Old
Jimmy went to Koehler's only when his
shoes needed half soling and he bought no
at Tidwell's, Lemuel Vickers re-
ceiving such custom in that line as he had
to give.
And so, as the short years that mark the
time of those who have turned the brow of
the hill toward the twilight, came and went,
Old Jimmy continued to loiter at the Roost.

Few of those who gathered at the
Roost had worn the insignia of rank.
With two or three exceptions, they had
been plain privates or non-commissioned
officers. Even Colonel Bob Lipe's title
was honorary, his discharge papers in
dicating that he had been mustered out
a corporal. But Colonel Lipe, having
for thirty years after the close of the
war served his country faithfully as an
auctioneer, had ben accorded a promo
ton. And yet, each man wore his
epaulet. In the memory of each there
lived some moment of valor, some dreary
day of suffering, or deprivation, which
ranked the gilt and tinselled braid a
government might have bestowed Thus
Judson Follansbee, who sat habitually
upon the cranberry barrel at the left OF
the stove, was curiously malformed of
jaw, the result of the impact of "minie"
ball and hasty or careless surgery at
Resaca; Pliny Tate had lain all day in
the rifle pits before Vicksburg with a
grapeshot through his lung; Uncle Giles
Hostettler, whose right to the empty
soap box at the end of the notion coun-
ter was never challenged, had been with
those who tunneled out of Libby; Israel
Giddings' right arm lay behind him on
the field of Seven Pines; Brice Watson,
a silent man, whose voice was heard but
seldom in discussion, had served four yea

Gentlemen:
Il wish to call your attention totthe

used TO operate cement mixer and
the exhaust goes up in the air like.

selves to go to the front just yet, the
continual noise is having a very dis
astrous effect on our nerves. There is
a law am told to stop all gasoline
engines from keeping wide open their
exhausts and certainly it would be
blessing to US If such was enforced.

HEINE WASNOI

City Policeman Nabs Deputy
Marshal as Suspicious Per-
Son"-Taken to Station

They are telling a good story in
federal court circles about Deputy
Marshal Otto Heinie, and, incidentally,
the district attorneys office is inves-
tigating to find out whether a police
officer named Richardson is guilty of
interfering with a federal official in
the performance of his duty.
The story is that on Saturday night
Heine attended a dance at the beach
and, when IL was over, saw his part
ner to her home in Emma street. As
he had some subpoenas to serve In
the case of Chinese charged with
buying government property, he LETT
the house and started for the Central
Grammar school grounds, as the per-
sons upon whom he was to serve the
subpoenas lived in Fort street.
He had proceeded but little way,
the story goes, when a voice COM
handed, stop, or I'll shoot" Heinie
stopped, and the policeman tn ques-
tion appeared on the scene and de-
manded to know what Heinie was do
ing al, the house in Emma street. It
Is reported that Heifiie replied some
thing to the effect that il was none
of the police officers business, and
then explained as best he could.
The police officer apparently was
not satisfied and commanded. that
Heinie go to the police station. The
story has it that Heinie informed the
police officer that he was deputy.
United States marshal and that he
had work to do that night. The Of
ficer refused to be convinced, howev-
er. and the two went to the station.
The captain on watch listened to
