Accordingly, on last Sunday he set out with a large dog of the mongrel species and was also armed with an old fashioned shot gun, fully ex- pectant of securing the ferocious quadru- ped. He searched the roads for nearly ' three hours without success and was about to return home when he was brought to a standstill by the terrible howling which his dogmas indulging in. Rushing back he at once discovered the cause. The dog had come in contact with the wild cat, and they were engaged in a desperate fight, the cat heviug the best of it all the way through.

They must be forgetting all the fun that Jeff furnished for us during the war. Don't you remember, boys after the long Weary marches in the hot dusty roads, what fun we had at night in sneezing and coughing the dust out of our noses and throats; and don’t you remember after we were out on picket all night, in the rain, when only half a dozen of the boys were shot, what fun we had the next morning as we stood by the camp fire, shivering, trying to dry our wet clothes; and don’t our tent mates that was shot on picket, how we would laugh till the tears ran down our cheeks as we shoveled the last shovel of dirt upon his rough and un- marked grave; and dou’t you remember the little skirmishes when we stood behind the trees and laughed until our sides ached when we saw one of the boys fall dead in “the. o ning; and don‘t you re-‘ member the unny, funny battle fields where the . boys lay in rows dead and dy- ing; and; don‘t you remember how we shouted with glee when night came and we went out on the field and heard the boys green and cry for water when we had no water to give them; and don't you rememberwhat fun we had when we do the long trenches and tumbled our dea. brothers and companions in a hundred at a time, and don’t you remember whattfun it was to write home and tell a mother or a wife that her son .or husband was killed? No, boys. You must not hold indignation meetings”. The Times says that they are foolish and are held by two-penny liti- cians.
