of Marsh and Union streets, CoL J.
N. Brown, veteran of three wars and
generally known as tho "Old War
horse" again heard tho call of war
and went forth to do battle iat tbo -fray.
But when tbo Colonel arrived. -the
participants had vanished leev :
ing the field to hkt without a contest.
"To the victor belongs tbo spoils." "
Finding that he was tho only man oat
the ! field the colonel evidently eoa-
eluded that he was tbo victor, and he
proceeded to gather tho opou' which
consisted of one pipe, one sack of -
tobacco, two packs of cigarettes and
two bottles both of which tho eolonel
says were empty, and several other
articles. The eolonel says that such
spoils are not worthy of being kept ;
by a veteran of three real wars, and "
that the owner can secure thorn by
calling on him.
