THE CONFEDE Humor in the C Confedcr M. N. Blakemore, of Van Buren, Ark., sends a lot of humorous stories to the Veteran, some of which have been published. The generation that has grown up since the war canuot possibly under stand the privations and hardships undergone and the heroism displayed by the \ omeu of the South during the war. While their fathers, husbands, brothers, and sous were at the front fighting the battles of their country, they were at home taking such care as they could of their Lares and Pe nates, nursing the sick and wounded, feeding the hungry stragglers, and in a hundred ways helping along the cause as best they might. They cheerfully, though tearfully, spared their loved ones to serve their coun try. No sacrifice was too great for their beloved Southland. At Appo mattox and Greensboro the heroes of the army succumbed to overwhelming odds and laid down their arme; but the women of the South-God bless them!-have never surrendered yet. There are some amusing anecdotes of the women. of the war as well as of the men. When Gen. Kelly commanded the Federal troops occupying the country around Front Royal, Va , he was very severe in impressing all the live stock he could find. Among others, he im pressed a cow belonging to an old man, John Arnold. This was about the last piece of property that pre vious depredations had left the old man, and her milk was almost the only resource left 'him and his daugh ter for food. The nest muming after the loss of the cow Miss Sue Arnold, the daughter, went to Gen. Kelly's headquarters and ap plied to him for the release of the cow. Gen. Kelly turned around in his chair*, and, in his most pompous manner, said: "Miss Arnold, this re hellion must be crushed 1" Miss Arnold, with eyes flaging and .arms akimbo and defiance in her atti tude, replied: " Gen. Kelly, if you think you can crush this rebellion hy stealing old John Arnold s cow, just steal her and be d-d!" She got the cow. As a Georgia regiment was about to enter a battle which threatened to be sharp and bloody, the colonel, very pale, rode along the line, and as he passed, one of his captains looked up and remarked: "Colonel, you are as pale ' as death. I believe you are afraid." , ''Yes," said the colonel, "I am afraid; and if you were half as much afraid as I am 3 ou would run." An army made up of such 3tuff as this colonel, who was brave from a sense of duty and of patriotism, may he crushed by numbers, as ours was, but wheo all else is lost it can pay in the words of the celebrated French general : "All is Inst save honor." During one of the long and rapid marches which go often fell to the lot ?f Stonewall Jackson's "foot cavalry" two of the boys belonging to the old Stonewall Brigade, which always held a warm comer in the heart of its old commander, fell into conversation. One of them remarked to the other: "Bill, I wish all those d:-Yankees were in h "I don't;" replied Bill. "Whv not ?" asked Jim. "Because, if they were, old Stone wall would order the First Brigade to go after them." Having mentioned the name of Stonewall Jacksou, I am loath to leave it. There is a charm in it which brings back vividly the stirring scenes of Confederate times. Who can hear his name mentioned without recalling that marvelous career of the almost unknown professor at the Vir ginia Military Institute who in three short months fought and defeated five separate armies, each numerically superior to his own ? A few years after the war the writer met Gen. Shields at. Carrollton, Mo., where he resided. On being intro duced to him, I said: "Gen. Shields, I have always admired your character and honored your military record, but I am especially glad to have the honor of meeting you after having heard you in a speech during the last campaign refer in glowing terms to my hero ol heroes." "What, sir? Stonewall Jackson? ' "Yes, sir," said ? ; "Stonewall Jackson." "Give rue y ur hand again," .-ate thc Generali "E h.-.ved him as 1 br 'thor.

Jackson never lived; but t have the honor of saying that I gave him a ? drawn fight at Kernstown; and no ? other man can make as proud a boast." i And yet, dear Veteran, our histories tell us, and our sons and daughters are taught to believe, that Shields whipped Jackson at Kernstown. Who should kuow better than Gen. Shields himself ? The General then went on to illus trate the feeling that existed between worthy foemen by sayii-g that on one occasion, a year or two previous to this conversation, he was taking a party of #riends to see a circus. As there was a great crowd around the ticket wagon, he concluded that he would! try paying at the door of the tent. As they approached the en trance, one of the party happened to address him as "Gen. Shields." A oue-armed, military-looking man, who was taking ibe tickets; looked up quickly and said : "Are you the Gen. Shields who fought in the Valley of Virginia?" "1 am, sir," replied the General. "Pass in with your party, General: you can't pay a cent here." "Thank you, my friend," said the General. "I see you have lost an arm. I presume you were one of my aoldiera in the Valley." "Well," no, not exactly, General ; I was the next 'thing to it, though; I was one of Stonewall Jackson's men." j No series of anecdotes of the war would be, complete without some which display the wit of thc Irish man. During one of the battles in the earlier part of the war a line of troops was lying down waiting for the proper moment for action. Bullets were flying rather fast overhead, and an Irishman was observed by one of his comrades holding his band as high in the air as he could reach. ''What are you doing there, Pat?" asked another. "Bedad, and I'm faling for a fur lough." Just then a bullet grazed his hand, and he said: "Bejd'ubers, I've got i.!''" Another bullet struck him in the wrist before he could fairly get his hand down. "Och! Begorra! and I've got thirty days extinsion." During another battle the firing had become so hot that some of thc men concluded they had very urgent business in the rear, and among them was an Irishman. His captain noticed him starting for the rear, and com manded him to come back. Pat paid 'no attention to this, but kept on. The captain drew his pistol and threatened to fire if he did not stop. The Iri>hman, without stopping, looked back over his shoulder, and yelled: "Shoot and-! What is one bullet to a bucketful?" ?very one agrees that discipline is absolutely essential in an army, but in the {Confederate army some of our soldiers had a queer idea of discipline. While the private soldier would obey his officers commands with the upmost exactness, he uever for a moment ac knowledged the superiority of the offi cer socially. Ile would fight like a hero and work like a stevedore, but he never gave up or forgot his man hood. On one occasion Gen. Cheat ham found one of his men, an Irish man, committing some act of which he did not approve. He reprimanded him in theraost forcible manner, aud, in fact, it is said that the language used was so forcible that thc air turn ed a beautiful cerulean hue. When he stopped to get his breath, the Irishman said: "Bedad, Ginoral Cheat ham! if you wasn't a gincral, you wouldn't talk to me that way." Gen. Cheatham was like the hero of Conan Doyle's novel, thc "White Company;" he was always willing and anxious to accommodate any gentle man who was looking for trouble. Ile pulled off his coat and threw it on the ground, saying: "There lies Gen. Cheatham, and here is Old Frank. Now pitch in." The Irishmau did pitch iu, and it is related that for once in his life Old Frank didn't get thc bt*st of a ight. But as memory carries us back to those days and we arc reminded of thc soul:stirrii>g scenes through which we p ts>cd, of the light hearts with which we marched, the jests of the bivouac, wo cannot help also remembering that our roll call is every year decreasing that "taps'' have been sounded Un ?as!. tim?': for most of that gallant army.

Irving Hancock eontril tale of the capture of Santi* titled "Chuggins, the Younge: With the Anny," to the No St Nicholas. It is a storv of whose various ancestors had se all of the American wars. Thi ing blood in hint was too strop resisted, and he finally made b , to Cuba with the American t Here is what he saw at Las Gua ! where the Rough Rider.- got the taste of war. if there were bullets flying m ! did not know it-did not stop to ; of them, but spurted over the i j uneven road, full of the idea tl was to fire a few more shots fti gallaut young soldier behind, strange how completely thatidei out any other thought. Now t ing rang louder than ever; ther? cheers mingled with it. Chi came in sight of an irregular m; men ahead. They were cha through the jungle aud unde trees, fiting as they ran. At a q sharp command, they lay down kept on firing. Pautiug, Chu, ran among them, unnoticed, thrc himself upon the ground betweei of che meu. Through the tree caught just a glimpse of little b mea in blue and white uniforms looked very much like bed-tic They were firing at the Rough R ! as fast as they could work their ? I while the Americans were gi ! rather more than they received. Chuggins had no time to see wi er men were being hit around but he knew that the hiss and < of bullets all about him was si toing terrifying, aud he had tin be afraid. For a few momeutt shook as if with ague. It was thought of that dead soldier's i with the lips trying to say ''Hum that made a Sperry of him ag Pushing the carbine out in fror him, trying to see the blue-and-w uniforms through the forecast, Cl gins began to fire. It was ama: how quickly that magazine was en ied! Now the Rough Riders were up ?yelling again. Onward they dasi and the boy went with them. In I rush he was left in the second 1 but just as he finished slipping in five fresh cartridges, he reached front rank again, he fired ahead, cause thc rest did; but it tonk 1 longer to empty the magazine i than it did when lying down Th was a spirited scurrying, a wild h rahing, and the Spaniards had fiYd. Now, wheu men began to brea again, and rest, and look about comrades, they espied Chuggins, rather noticed him, for the first til Certain of the officers were amt the most curious. One of them stn swiftly over to the boy's side, res a strong hand on his shoulder, t looked down inquiringly into his fa Something in the mao's features loi ed familiar. Chuggins remembere portrait that he had seen in the net papers. "You're Mr. Roosevelt, aren't you he asked. "Yes, my lad; but who are you ?'! "Name's Sperry, sir. Striker J Lieutenant Hansel," Chuggius breal lessly explained. "How came you here? Whored you get that gun ? What are y doing with it ?" Colonel Roosevelt did not lo cross, but he plainly meant to ha thc whole story. So Chuggi told it briefly, dwelling on the de soldier whose lips seemed tryiug cheer. "I felt sure he wouldn't mind n taking his gun, if he could only s? so, sir," wound up thc young ua rator. "Fact is, I think he'd ha' been glad to have me put in a fe more shots for him, and I'm clad did." "Weren't you scared, Sperry? asked Colonel Roosevelt, his fa< softening. "Awfully, for a little while, but wore off," came thc caudid reply. Colonel Roosevelt looked at hil thoughtfully. He knew that such mere boy had no call or right to bc o thc firing-line, but such deeds an reasoning as Chuggins offered mu? perplex a lover of heroes; so he sai as had the Sergeant at Siboney : "Sperry, I don't know what to sa to you." Just then someone called the Cf lonel away, and Chuggius wandere about in the regiment. He staye? with the troops after that, first witl otic regiment and then with another getting farther and farther to th frout as thc army advanced, goin? hack to Siboney only when some nih cer had a message to send.

He comes to ( letnsou Agricultural college recommended bysoujeofthe leading educators north and south, among them we note Prof. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture to President McKinley. We hope the doctor v ill pardon us fur mentioning that he is comparatively a yung man and single, though tl o fa ult of his, however. He has recently made an extended trip to the north w ?st, during which time he visited the Chicago aud McKtllips Veterinary college, besides being present at the close of the Ti ans Mississippi and In ternational expn.-ition at Omaha, Neb. He went there specially to see the exhibit of i he Uni tt d States bureau of auimal iudustry and later visited the government cattle-oipping station at the Texas fever quarantine line be tween Missouri and Arkansas. Dr. Nesom is again at his post at Clemson College and giving instructions along ? his linc to thc agricultural students, I looking after the station work and corresponding with those over the Slate who wish t> make usc of his services. Dr. Nesom, as is kuowu, succeeds Dr. Wyman. D. RAVENEL. Sad Story of a Battlefield. Just below the stone fort at Caney, sitting in the middle of a pineapple field, I came upon a pitiful sight-a soldier sittiug on the ground, holding in his lap the head of a poor fellow who was literally shot to pieces. One bullet had gone through his head, an other through his lungs and chest, tearing a horrible hole, from which ?he blood poured at every breath. Ile was almost dead, and every breath souuded like the noise made by pour ing liquid from a bottle, and his com rade kept the flies from his face, that was clotted with blood and dir , and waited. Occasionally, when the poor fellow would groau a bit louder than usual, the friend would change the dying mau s position, but he held him as still as he coul I. "Don't suppose there's a surgeon about?'' he inquired, as I stopped. I told him there was not now, but would be later. "Well," he remarked, quietly, "don't suppose they could help him. He's 'bout gone, I reckon." The breathing became weaker and the gurgling fainter and fainter as the grayish pallor began to show through the sweat and dirt and blood, and, finally, without a tremor, breathing ceased. The soldier held his burdcu a moment uutil he saw the end had come, and then laid his handkerchief over the ghastly face and gently let the head down to the grouud, and slowly got up. "Know him ?" I asked. :'?y brother," he calmly said. And then he filled his lungs with one, long, deep sigh and gazed oft to the hills for a moment with a far-away, thoughtful look, and I could see that he was looking straight into some home and wondering what mother would thiuk.

"Rheumatism makes mnrc liars than any other disea-e. " Saida phy sician, "though i he peuple m^st af fected bv it are uncuiiseiiiiisly affected, a< far as their l>iog is concerned. Ordinarily au attack nf rheumatism, coming and guinn, lasts about three weeks. The si eoiid week is gene rally the worst as far as pain is con cerned The first week the sufferer devotes to his or h?*r own cures. They failing to quiet the attack and the consequent pain, the second week is taken up with treing the vari.?us rem edies suggested by friends and ac quaintances. A* the third week enters, the sufferer in the meantime having about made up his or her mind t-? let the disease have its own way, having given up th hope nf try ing tu cure it, the patient is ready to try as many things and remedies as come along, and gent ral ty does so, it mat ters not how nonsensical they are. One sa>s wear a pewter riug on the second finger of the left hand, another t? drink great, quantities of water, another to consume a half dozen lemons a day, another to carry horse chestnuts in your pockets, uud so on. By the end of the t hi ra week the rheumatism has pas>ed away, and prates are sung to every ear in favor of the last remedy tried. The entire credit is given the last thing tried, and while it may not have doue any more good than if the patient carried a brick in hisoveicoat or dress pocket, if that was the particular thing last done it will be for all time heralded as a cure certain and reliable. Here is where rheumatism makes liars of people. It is rare that a sufferer from rheumatism is ever told to con sult a physician. That seems to be the last, thing thought of in cases of rheumatism, though nearly the first thing in nearly all other attacks of disease. Curiously enough, in nearly all the springs, medicated haths, and other sure cures the patient is told that twenty-one baths or twenty-one da>s of drinking the water is neces sary. [1?re comes in the three weeks again, and I suppose it is necessary. It is at best a troublesome complaint and it rarely yields until it has run its course, to r-turu on the slightest provocation." - Wash'nptnn Star. Music for ' Christmas !
