MARCHED AKl) MUNCHED. The Soldiers Who Didn't Steal the bl Apples Ate Them. A. reprimand which takes the form of a joke is sometimes more effectual to than a burst of anger. Such an exam ple was furmshed by a Confederate at ofcer and described by T. 0. Moore In K his "Anecdotes of General Cleburne." a, The southern army. snarching across p: the mountains of Georgia. had Its sup- 1 ply trains cut off and was obliged to live upon the country. Apples. chestnufs and persimmons were plenty. but the army had strict orders not to depredate upon private property. One day I was trudging along in the rear of General Gran bury's brigade when I saw down the road General Cleburne sitting on the top rail of a fence. while below him tc lay five or six bushels of ie red ap- k ples. Near by stood a number of sol- u diers, who looked as mean as men a< could look. al - General Granbury saluted General Si Cleburne. who remarked: n "rm peddling apples today. A "How's that' ft "These gentlemen." pointing to the b soldiers who had stolen the apples. 0 "have been very kind- They have e: gathered apples for me and charged 1 nothing. i'll give them to you and ti your men. Now ;,t down and take one, and each of your men take one- n only one, mind you-until all are I gone." b The invitation was accepted. the V men cheering for "Old Pat." When r, the apples were gone the general made u each man who had stolen the apples carry a rail for a mile or two. BATTLE WITH A BOG. Redmire's Suction. Tore the Leather Gaiters Off a Man's Legs. Readers of "Lorna Doone" can never forget the terrible drowning of Carver In the bog. That death trap is still t be seen in the Ezmoor country, and not long ago, a valuable huntin horse was engulfed In the mLre, and his rider barely escaped with his life. S. Bar lng-Gould. who had a narrow escape from a stmlar bog. tells of It in his "Book of the West." The author was with an offecal from the ordnance sur- 1 Tey, who. was correcting the- map of the country: "In the dusk we lost our way and got Into Redmire. It was winter, the bog was' unnsuny wet, and we could j scarcely trip from one stone to an - other. Six bullacks had been lost in that very spot during the year.

General Harrison's Objections to Monuments to "Vest." As a general thing, one of the first duties of the wife of an Incoming pres klent and one of the things she usual ly enjoys heartily is to attend to such rearrangements and refurnishings of the White Uouse as may be .lecessary or advisable according to her person al taste, the size and customs of her family, and so on. I remember one occasion. writes golonel William ii. Crook In the Phil adelphia Saturday Evenin= lust. when Mrs. Harrison had tinally decided upon some slight architectural changes I and had brought her nrchitect's plans to the president and asked his opinion 2 of them. General Harrison studied the drawings with care and noticed a that several niches were left, each plainly marked. At last he said: -Well, my dear. here is a place for Lincoln. and here is a place for Grant's bust. And you have left three places for Vest." Then he add ed, with well assumed indignatIon. "I am decidedly opposed to so many ionuments to Vest-in the White I House" Mrs. Harrison hastened to explain what her husband, of course. knew all the time-that the word "Vest." was the architect's contraction for vesti bule. of which there were three on the plans, whereupon the president said he was satisfied and handed the draw ings back to her. with a twinkle in his keen blue eyes. A FIERCE ANATHEMA. The Pious Wish a Woman Flung at Jean Paul Richter. Jean Paul Richter once observed that if a lady officer wanted to give the word "Halt!" she would do It in the following strain: "You soldiers, all of you, now mind what I say. I order you as soon as I have done speaking to stand still, every one of you, on the spot where you happen to be. Don't you hear me? Halt, I say, all of you!" Upon this a strong minded woman made the following comment: "Now. M. Jean. it was an unlucky day on which you wrote that sentence. May you never hear anything but that lit tie. concise word 'No' from every rosy pair of lips you meet. May you halt twifeless through life. May your but tons be snappish. your strings knotty and your stockings full of holes. May your bootjack be missing. your feet corny and your sharing water cold. your razor dull, your hair stand up. your collar lie down. May your beard be percupiny. your 'vbskers thinly settled and your mustache curl the wrong way. lay your coffee be mud fdy, your tozast smoky and your tea water bewitched, and, with a never dying desire for affection. may you crawl through creation a meek, miser able, nasty. forlorn. fidgety. fussy. ri diculous, ruined. dejected old bachelor." High Sounding Names. Writing in his Paris paper on the growing custom on the part of parents to give their children "high sounding" names, Clement Tautel says: "When the boy Is old enough to understand he rebels ate being compelled to carry through life a name like Anacreon or Hipparchus. But he has company. I know a deputy whose parents named him Franklin. The name In Itself Is not so bad, but he has two brothers, Voltaire and Socrates respectively. Fancy this scene In the nursery: Franklin howling because Voltaire has broken his toy, while Socrates laughs t bo-th. The mother as peacemaker shouts, 'Stop. Socr-ates. r you'll be punished." In a narrow street In 3Mar seil'es one broIlIng hot day I saw a women spanking a child, shouting- In anger, 'You naughty Epaminondes; I'll teach you. Epaminondes!'
