He Came In In Disguise
And Went Out I'm Dutch

Never was more sociable camp
than Silverhorn. but there is limit
even to sociability. and Pretty Will
lie" crowded the limit So "Fitz," the
unofficial cop of the camp, gathered
him and his load under his arm and
placed the two in a reclining position
on the bed in Willie's boudoir. AS
Willie's boudoir occupied all of the
great outdoors in the vicinity of the
particular juniper tree he had Sc
lected for home ON coming to camp,
and as 1t was raining hard that night,
1t is literally true to say that the bed
was pretty soft for Pretty Willie"
But Willie wouldn't stay put. "Fitz'
had hardly returned to his own virtu-
Gus couch when Willie started out
again to bring the sunshine of his
presence into the gloom Of houses and
tents that had been dark since the
occupants had doused the glim at bed
time. Time and again he was re-
buffed and thrown out into the cold
and wet world, but he took 1t all good
naturedly until about three in the
morning, when it dawned on him that
he was not welcome. He felt real
sorry for himself and wept tears of
pity. AS he was thrown out of tent
he cried: THE blank blank blankety
blank blank blank. only wanted to
borrow a match and the blankety
blank blank blank wouldn't give 1t to
me- I'm Pretty Willie and the blank
blank blank wouldn't give me a
match"
Next day Pretty Willie" departed
and has left Silverhorn to its fate
He said the rich ore may go down, or
go up as far as he is concerned. What
cares he for camp where lives a
blankety blank who wouldn't give him
a match?

ESPECIAL CoRREsPoNpENcEl
By JAMES f. O'BRIEN

Since he, himself, confesses that
Pretty Willie" is his name, the vera
cious scribe might as well admit at
the start that he is entitled to the
moniker, though he will enter into no
extended argument to prove that the
name fits.
When Pretty Willie" came into
Silverhorn he was travelling incognito
that last word being Swedish and
means "in disguise"-and told no one
who he was, except the newspaper re-
porter and the president of the ladies'
sewing circle, who could be depended
upon to not repeat the information.
One night. however, Willie got tired
of focking by himself and determined
to mix with his fellow humans, even
though social pleasures might tenn
porarily interfere with the acquisition
of the fortune which he. and others,
had come to Silverhorn for. He had
not gone far before he acquired load
of bootleg whiskey-and then the lid
was off for fair. 1t must have been
a better than usual brand of hooch,
for instead Of making him want to
fight anything from rattlesnake to
Dempsey. Willie just wanted to love
everybody. The member of the smart
set and the proletarian looked equally
good to him-he was only too anxious
to throw his arms about the neck of
either And if he was met with aloof-
ness or surprise he would say Don't
you remember me? I'm Pretty Will
lie." He reminded the scribe that
they were old college chums back in
Leadville. The fact that the scribe
believes he never lived in Leadville
simply goes to show that his memory
is poor.

A Famous Battery.

In speaking OF Rice's Battery from
New Market, Va, Col. D. g.: Mcintosh
once said This Battery serXed all
through the war with great distinction,
under Gen. Garnett, then with Genls.
Jones and johnson, then with Stone
wall jackson, until after the Valley
Virginia Campaign of 1862 and until the
Reorganization of the artillery in 1863.
1t was then with the Battalion COM
manded by Col. D. G. Mcintosh. By
Especial order of Gen. Pendleton, Chief
Artillery this battery was given the
rear of the Army of Northern Virginia
on the evening of the evacuation of
Petersburg, Va. 1865, for meritorious
conduct At Amelia Court House, Va,
it was ordered to be equipped with the
best horses of the artillery for special
services, He says no man can wear
prouder title, or transmit to his chill
dren a worthier distinction. | know
this battery we'll, it was assigned to my
command shortly after the battle of
Fredericksburg, Va, and before the
march to Pennsylvania in 1868. There
was no battle of any consequence, in
which the Army Of Northern Vir-
ginia was engaged, from the opening
of the campaign in 1868 to its surren
der at Appomattox, in which this
battery did take an active part. 1t was
splendid body of men. In action
they were cool, brave and unflinching,
you had only to give the word, and
point the way, and in a moment every
man was at his post ana every gun
belching forth its fire The discipline
was perfect, indeed such was the
patriotism and devotion of the men,
there was little occasion for the eXer-
else Of authority. This battery always
received from Genl. Lee the highest
praise. When they were called upon
to resist the last assault of the enemy,
they stood to their guns with as proud
and determined a spirit as they had
shown at any time during the past four
years. Had all Of Gen. Lees army pos
sessed their spirit, on that memorable |
morning, no surrender would have oc
cured "
Capt Geo. w. Koontz and DR.. w. S.
Cline were with the battery during the !
4 years of war.
