time ago. While in service the
three months he gave good ser

courteous officer.

course there are many lively

cious. The custom owes its ori-
gin to a company of Stonewall

cruited in that part of the State.
These ex:Confeds keep up their
organization. They have a re-
i union once a year, at which they
celebrate with a grand "soup." s
It is said that a "soup" properly
gotten, up should be made of
stolen chickens, but the veterans
had to give up foraging after the
war and make a compromise by .
going around in squads and rob
bing each other's roosts' by mu

Iri parts of Pennsylvania they
have clubs of "Swallopoleans" .
who meet at some given point,
and cook up chickens and pastry,
commonly called "chicken and '
dumplens," which they term
swallop. A committee brings in .
the chickens from the coop of
any member of the club and
many a man and his wife (if she
chooses to go with him, and
many do) enjoy the chicken, in
blissful ignorance of the cost till
they look after their poultry next
day. They have a' royal good
time of stealing and eating stolen
chicken without crime.
