parley followed, during which
Wage Garner and Wage-Payer frank
ly stated their grievances against each
other and came to the inevitable con-
clusion that they had allowed trifles to
estrange them. Gigantic grievances
have disconcerting way Of dwindling
into pygmies when subjected to dispas-
sionate scrutiny. The upshot of the
matter was that Wage-Earner acknowl-
edged WagePayer's superior knowl-
edge Of the river and permitted him to
guide the boat. The trip was made In
better time than ever before because
the spirit Of cooperation lent strength
to the rowers' strokes.
When 1t came time for the feast on
the shore Of Success, Wage Garner was
agreeably surprised to find that his
dish Of profits was generous enough to
appease his appetite.

have opened on the twenty
fourth of May, 1861. The en-
gagement was at Bethel
Church, where Gen. b. f. Butler was
in command, and in western Virginia.
Gen. George B. Mcclellan began to be
a conspicuous figure. In the latter
part of May General Morris won an
engagement at Philippi, and on the
eleventh of July General Mcclellan
gained a victory at Rich mountain.
On the tenth Of August, General Rose
Grams drove out detachment Of the
enemy at Carnifax Ferry. On the
eleventh of June, Col. Lewis Wallace
made successful onset at Romney.
These, and other minor engagements
occurred up to the sixteenth Of July,
when began the first battle Of Bull
Run. On that day the Federal army
moved forward and an important en-
gagement took place between Center
vile and Bull Run. They pressed for
ward and on the twenty-first day of
July found the enemy strongly posted
between Bull Run and Manassas juno
ton. General Mcdowell, successful at
first, was driven back by the re-en-
fOrcements.
Missouri now became battlefield
for the contending armies. Captain
Nathaniel Lyon acted promptly at
Camp Jackson, near st. Louis, and
saved the arms and stores. Later,
General Lyon gained decided adj
vantage at Bonneville and on the fifth
Of July the Federal troops under Col.
Franz Sigel were again successful at
Carthage. On the tenth of August
the hardest battle fought thus far in
the West occurred at Wilson's creek,
where General Lyon was killed. Gen.
John G.. Fremont followed the enemy
as far as Springfield, H., and was
there superseded by General Hunter.
The enemy led strong detachment
into the state of Kentucky and cap
tured the town of Columbus, where
they planted batteries so as to COM
mand the Mississippi and the Missouri.
In order to dislOdge them, Col. Ulysses
S. Grant was sent with brigade of
three thousand Illinois troops by way
of Cairo into Missouri, where he made
vigorous and successful attack at
Belmont. Thus closed military opera
tons in the West for 1861.
General Scott was unable to bear
longer the burden resting upon him
and Gen. George b. Mcclellan was
brought from West Virginia to take
command of the Army Of the Potomac.
AS an organizer and discipllnarian the
young commander had no superior.
From the first 1t was seen by the Fed
eral government that the command of
the seacoast was an essential of sue
cess and a close blockade was placed
upon all Southern ports.
At the beginning of 1862 the Federal
forces numbered about 100000 men.
General Mcclellan, commanding 2OO,-
600, and General Buell., who command
ed another army at Louisville, KY, be-
gan the first of the colossal military
movements.

buck the tide of competition, while he
pretends to be guiding the boat. When

share of the profits and you can go
hungry. You know the eddies and cur
rents in the river by this time. Go
ahead and do your own steering and
make Wage-Payer sweat. He needs

The next time the two men embarked
on the trip across the river of Competi-
ton Wage Garner decided to take the
advice OF mis- false friend, Agitator, so
that when Wage-Payer indicated the
course they had best take to avoid the
currents and eddies Wage Garner snap

that the course Wage Garner wished to
take was dangerous and II pursued

boat Then finding that words were of
no avail, Wage-Payer angrily seized the
oars and began to pull with all his

was right.

row violently. and their misdirected eff.
