JOKE WASN'T ON 'STONEWALL'
Students Futile Attempt to Mako
Great Soldier Evnce Even a
Slight Sign Of Fear.

"Maj. Thomas J. Jackson, later the
famous 'StOnewalP Jackson, was our
Instructor in mathematics and drilled
the students in artillery tactics" said
General Armistead, an ante bellum grad
uate of the Virginia Military institute.
"'Old Jack as the students called
him, with his worn uniform, faded
cap, usually perched at a ridiculous
angle upon his big head, rusty old
cavalry saber and ungraceful gait, was
In appearance far from our beau ideal
of soldier. Nevertheless, 1t was pos
sible even then to guess at the real
greatness of the man.
1.-THE guns we used in our artillery
drills were pulled by hand. AS the
drill proceeded. our instructor would
become transformed into the very SEM
blance Of Mars himself, as, with form
erect, waving sword and flashing eye,
he would give the command 'Fire!' In
voice that rang over the campus like
the blast of bugle.
"One day, in a spirit of mischief, the
students who were drawing the gun
pretended to lose control Of 1t as it
moved rapidly down gentle incline,
directly toward Major Jackson. But
the commander, instead of scuttling
out of the way as the boys had glee-
fully anticipated, stood sternly erect
and immovable right In the track of
the gun.
81 tell you there was some lively
hustling, and just in the nick Of time,
too, to keep Old Jack from being run
