' "H'm," says he. '1 guess I'd jest

There we was, a parcel of volun

Chapin stepped up, as solemn as a
clam, and , threatened to punch his
head. ... -
"Stop that blarsted tune I" says he.
'Tm nigh about ready to desert for a
head of cabbage, and I can't bear to
hear onions made light of."
There was one colonel bad a regi
ment in camp along of us who was the
greatest hand to nag the men you ever
see. ' He was as pernickity as an old
maid and as notional as an old bache
lor. He kep' the men up to drill as
though 'twas salvation, and inspected
them within an inch of their lives,
and called that discipline; and p'rhaps
it waa. ; - '
But he done worse; he kep sottin'
traps for to ketch the men nappin'.
He d travel outside the videtass and
pickets so's to see if they was awake
and alert, and if they wasn't, then
they had to take it.
Well, as I was sayin', we were new
to the business, and to be spied on and
roared at and ketched nappin' made us
all pretty snappish, and Cool himself,
who was ordinarily as clever as could
be. was stirred up. - '
"I'll fix him r says he, one night,
when we was talkin' it over by the
fire. "Wait till my turn comes."
' Sure enough, the next night he was
on vidette duty, and he heerd a noise
in the bushes. Up went his musket
"Who goes there?" he roared.
. "Officer of the day," says the
colotfel;
"I know no officer of the day out
side the lines; throw up your hands,
dismount and surrender I" yelled Cool.
"I tell you I'm officer of the day,"
says the colohea) "madder'n a yeller
hornet ; 1
"I know no officer of the day out
side the lines; dismount or I fire," re
peated Cool, v .
Well, the colonel r'ared and sput-,
tered, but Cool never lowered his gun,
and finally the colonel had to dis
mount and come along toward CooL
"I tell you, you blockhead, I'mCoL
Blank, officer of the day."
Cool cocked his gun and leveled it
at the feller's head, sayin' again:
"I know no officer of the day out
side the lines: give up your side arms
or I shall shoot you- through the
head."
Well, the colonel reely b'lieved.
Cool didn't reco'nize him, so he handed
over his side arms, and Cool marched
him in clear through the camp to
headquarters, an' handed, him over to
the general.
I tell yon Mister Blank got a charge
o' cold shot in the line o' tonarue lash-

and one in my jacket sleeve a-comlu'

he, laughin'. For true, not one o'

us, with rations for twenty-four hours.'
How'd you like that boys, spendin' a

dry hardtack to chaw on I
jTwas ruther unpleasant; no way to
sleep exceptin' up. and finally nothin'
to eat . I don't , blame the men; in
fact I was quite a little riled, myself.
But Cool was as cool as a cucumber.
He joked and laughed, and sang-and
held up on his broad shoulders niore'n
one sleepy, tired out head.
When some of 'em would make dis
paraging remarks he'd holler out:
''Come boys, stop errowlin'l We're in
for the whole war; hooray 1" and so
he'd kind of heart us uo.
He was always doin' that; he was as
clever as a. bobonnkv . nobody was
sick or wounded but he was the first to
help. I've seen him give up his blanket
many a time to some poor fellow
shakin' with a chill, and let another
burned up with wound fever drain
the last drop out of his canteen, when
nobody knew if we should get any
more water for a hull day. And he
always made as though he hadn't done
nothin.
Well, "when this cruel war was
over," as the song says, and the regi
ment was mustered out, it come about
that Cool and I took the same train to
go home, though I lived way up in
Vermont and he waa a Connecticut
boy; and we sat together, I next to the
window.

I looked ' out of thewindow, for,
thinks I, "There's a girl waitin' for

"Well, fellers!" says he. "we ain't

Chapin, a dry sort of a chap in tne
, bunk below me. -
"Yoa took it rather cool," says I to
i Joe.
"Name's Cooley," says he, laughin.
And after that we called him "Cool"
or "Old Cool," just as it happened.

for two, some for all tbe way. You

We were all in for it goin' to fight
We'd hollered and waved flags, and
had speeches made to us, and felt con
siderable good about it; that was tbe
top dressiu'. Now we began to strike
hard pan, and I tell yoa we didn't
think about our country every minute,
not much.
- Weil, Joe he wasn't sick a minute;
he'd go steppin' round amongst the
fellers as softly as a girl, grinnin' at
one, givin' water to another, 4Lxin'
this one's head up on to a knapsack,
and propnin1- that one up g inst a
mast, as if he'd been a hospital nurse
all his days.
When some of (he men would groan
he'd say, " Ts ruther unpleasant
ain't ill Scold away: itll do re good
to spit it all out," and they'd have to
grin.
"We got landed after awhile, as dirty

He looked around, as quiet aa Sun

"Well, Til get a leetle out o' their
way," says he, and with that rolled
over about ft foot to the left hut his
eyes and was snorin' inside of three
minutes. '

stay on the field pretty much all night
When' we begun to fall back next
morning1 there wasn't any way to tret
to camp but through a. ravine that the
enemy a guns raked and they , kept
rakin of us into another world pretty
spry as we went through the gully.
We couldn't take along the wound
ed, so they crept into the bushes the
best they could, and there they bad to
lie all day before we could go after
'em and fetch 'em out It was hard,
but that's war.
But we couldn't let 'em lie there all
through that iot day. with no water
and nothin' to stanch their wounds.
so about noontime we got leave to call
for a volunteer to go over to 'era.
Now betwixt us and that ravine
there waa about forty rods of old
field, as bare as a brick, right in the
enemy's range. It was a pretty smart
risk to run to cross that field, with
water and cotton, and we all knew it:
i but the word for a volunteer wasn't
out of cap en a mouth before old Cool
jumped up.
"Ill go air r says be. "I haven't
got no incumbrances to home," and he
grinned. So he started out with ten
canteens full of water slung onto hun
and a bundle of cotton under his arm.

though I b'lieved be was cert 'in sure
to get there, "yoa be real economical

Thirty Tears In a Man's Body.
Dr. Nisson relates in The Maedeburi
er Zeitung the following case wbic
has come under his observation: "
have just extracted," he says, "from
the arm of a patient of mine, an iron
founder, a darning needle seven centi
meters loutr. which was imbedded in a
muscle (the triceps brachii). The needle
was completely black from oxidation,
and had for years caused nrreat pain to
the patient who was supposed to suf
fer from rheumatism in various parts
of the body, and had been treated for
that disease by numerous doctors witn
out success. As the man has no rec
ollection of a needle runnine; into him.
it is probable that it must have done
so in his early childhood, and that it
had been traveling about Lis body for
some tliirty years before It waa dis
covered. It is worthy of nolo that
when he was 8 years old he was treated
for some months lor disease or tbe
spine, tbe appearance of which dis
ease .may have been caused by the
presence of the needle in the neighbor
hood of the spine, and the irritation
consequently set up."

as tbe Colorado desert and has just
been rediscovered by a party of pro

For miles around it on every side, the

support man or beast. There is no
water for a great distance, and if a
man could wade through on foot
where it is impossible to compel a
mule to carry him, he could not be
burdeued with sufficient food and
water to last him through tho expedi
tion, without which he must surely
perish. . Lost year two determined
miners were sent out equipped with
shovels, tools and "grub stake" to dig
up the craft and its treasure.

The latter, coming in sight of tbe tall

skeletons, presumably thoso of the
miners; the flesh picked clean from

If housekeepers everywhere would
start and maintain a crusade 'against
the sale of undrawn poultry in the
markets .or by farmers it would work
a most wholesome hygienic reform. It
is a vicious practice, an a buns, in fact
that people have endured as they
have many other abases, becauxe
there is no remedy exceptin concerts!
action or legislation. It is impossible
to keep undrawn poultry even a few
hours, without the beginuitiffof putre
faction from the effects of the gaars
from tne undigeated food in Uie crop
and intestines. The longer it is kept
the more of the poison goes into the
flesh, and in the majority of cases the
poultry that reaches the kitchen from
the market is actually unfit for food.
Housekeepers could well afford to pay
a larger price to have the poultry
dreaacd immediately upon being killed
they pay for much weight that, is
thrown away, as it is, besides having
left a mass of poiwned fleah. It is
urged tluit some, people prefer the
flavor of undrcsrfi poultry, but that
fact oaly makes the uiaucr Uie more
alarming, since it indicates that we
are cultivating a UUe for putrid meat
