One day soon after POpe's defeat al
the second Bull Run and Chantilly a
private soldier belonging to All Ohio
regiment sought an interview with his
captain, and announced that he had
plan for a military campaign which
must certainly result in crushing out
the Secession. The officer very natural
" inquired for particulars, but the
soldier refused to reveal them, and
asked for chance to lay his plans be-
fore Pope himself. After some delay
he was given a pass to headquarters.
He did not get to see Pope, but after
the chief of staff had coaxed and prom
ised. and threatened for a quarter Of
an hour, the Buckeye stood up and re-
piled: "Well, sir, my plan is for John
Pope and Bob Lee to swap commands,
and If we don't lick the South inside
of 60 days you may shoot me for
patent hay-fork swindler!" When he
returned to camp he was naturally
asked what success he met with, and
he ruefully replied: "Wall, they had
a plan of their own" "What was IT.

So many people take the newspaper

At the bottom, the craving Is the
