Two Pairs of Shoes Perhaps if Ishould tell abtsut a Con federate pair of shoos or rather two pairs of shoes it would reveal sonio interesting incidents about my life as a prisoner of war , and of my escape Irom the Southern prisons. One day in September , ISG-t , I was sitting up against the brick wall Some fifteen feet high , that inclosed the Charleston jailyard , and busily engaged in poring over a volume of Thomas Jefferson's works that be longed to our small prison library , and that had been given us by some body in the South disposed in a friendly way toward us. Of course , I was inside of the wall. Ifc afforded me something to lean against , while the ground was amply good enough to sit upon. The wall also afforded shelter from the sun , and the place I most frequently occupied was almost directly beneath agallows that hadno doubt often done duty in punishment forthecrimeof murder. We prisoners ofwarwere in the yard both day and night and at the same time in the jail itself were confined men under arrest for criminal offenses committed in the city. One night , on the occasion of a very severe storm , I spent in * the jail , very glad to get its shelter. On the occasion to which I now refer , when I was communing with the literary remains of Thomas Jeffer son , one of the city prisoners from inside the jail came among the Northern prisoners desiring to sell a pair of shoes. I had on a pair of boots pretty thoroughly worn out , but which still had a commercial value on account of the tops , which could be made into uppe-rs for shoes. It did not take long for the city prisoner and myself to get into a negotiation for a purchase and ex change. The price of the shoes was $30 in Confederate money. I finallv took them , giving my boots and # 20 in Confederate money for them. They were of no great value , as the uppers were made from soit leather from bootlegs , but they served to tide me over some pretty trying cir cumstances. The weather soon be- rriii fn oror. pr nl ntid xv < r nnlfl nr f- habitually go barefooted as we had done during the hot weather. When I got to Wallhalla on my es cape , late in November , my shoes having served me for 180 miles foot travel , besides having been a number of weeks in prison , they were in a condition for no further service. Wa ter , and some snow that we had had , had as free access to my feet as though I had no shoes , the one pur pose they were serving being that the soles , such as they were , kept my feet from being bruised. Our hostafc Wallhalla saw the dilapidated con dition of what 1 had on my feet , and which were not in a condition to hold further together , and produced for me an entire ! } ' new pair of shoes , firtnty made and of good leather. To be sure their size was tens , while my size was sevens , but in the incon gruity of things inside of the Confed erate States at this time no import ant note was to be made of this ; and as I could tie them tightly around my instep , I thought , and I certainly had , obtained a great prize. On the first night out from Wallhalla there was either a heavy Irost or a light snow , my memory not serving me now perfect ly regarding it , and my heels would so ball up that it was very difficult for mo to walk. Consequently I kicked away to get rid of the balls. Soon a heel came clean off one of the shoes. Now I was certainly in a very bad plight for walking , and so I kicked industriously with the other foot , and this was soon minus a heel. From this time on no one was more comfortably shod on the journey than was I. Our host had given me the shoes in the kindness of his heart. I had a silver watch with me , which was a good one and which I had man- aired to keep through my prison ex perience. It needed a slight repair to set it going , but it vuis a valuable piece of property in the Confederacy in those days. I presented this to our host. It was a great source of congratulation between himself and his wife , as it was worth lour or five hundred dollars in Confederate money and would relieve them of a pecuniary embarrassment by enemies which on account of known or suspectqd Unionism on their part was the more harassing. Lost to Sight. Gen. Sheridan was not a tall man , though he had a commanding pres ence. While he was an under oliicer he was one day drilling a company , and was annoyed by the nnsoldierly appearance of a tall , round shoulder ed Irish recruit. "Don't stand in that way , " Sheri dan finally exclaimed. "You look like a Chinaman doubled over a washtub. Straighten up form erect , chest out and chin elevated. Like this !

" repent ed the major , as ho placed his feet on the railing of the hotel veranda and blow into the air , slowly and rellec- tively , a vast cloud of fragrant to bacco smoke ; "well , I don't know. I never saw a mule die , and I never saw a dead mule. But for all that I'm hardly prepared to say that they live forever. " "Tell us about Colonel Waterman's mule , " broke in the doctor , extract ing a beautiful meershaunv from its case. "I think none of the others have ever heard that story , and I assure you , gentlemen , it is as good as a fish story. " "It's not much of a story and it's true. At the beginning of the war Colonel Waterman had an old mule by the name of Jenny. As the col onel had an opportunity to sell the animal at a good figure , he did so. To be sure , Jenny had been in his family so many years that she seemed like a member of it , but $ .50 is not to be sneezed at for an old mule , so the colonel put all senti mental feelings aside and let her gofer for $30. ' "That was just before the war ? " queried the landlord , standing in the door. 1 "Yes , just before the war , " con tinued the major. d "In the exciting times which fol lowed of course old Jenny was en tirely forgotten. About ten years after the war was all over the colonel concluded he would like a young , lively mule. After a great deal of experimenting he bought one that just suited him. Among other good qualities it looked just as Jenny did when she was .young. The colonel's son Frank happened to come home on a visit a day or t wo after the purchase. The morning after his arrival he wandered out to the stable to see the new mule. In about 10 minutes he returned and asked : 'Father , what did vou pay for that mule ? ' : " dollars " the "Seventy-five , replied colonel. "Frank burst out laughing and ex claimed : 'That's just § 45 more than 41 vnn snlrl lior "And sure enough the colonel's young inulo was none other .than old Jenny. " "I never thought to ask yon , " said the doctor , re-lighting his pipe , whether Jenny is still alive or not. " ' 'She was a year ago , " replied the major promptly , "but was beginning to look a libtlo weary. There's no way , " he added , moralizingly , "of telling the age either of a mule or a negro. " Chit-ago Herald. Getting Back on a Practical Joke. Next to a dog that amuses himself < by barking all night a rooster that persist in exercising his voice is na ture's own nuisance , especially when the rooster lives in town. A banker who used to live next door to Dr. Jim White , in Richmond. Ya. , owned two little bantam roosters that he had taught to crow for a grain of corn. He would take a double- handful of corn out into his back porch , lift his hand and the chickens would crow. Then lie would give a rain to each of them. This would be continued until all the rorn was exhausted and the roosters Avere "hoarse. This sort of thing annoyed Dr.Vhite. . He didn't mind thequal- ity of the noise , but ho objected to 1 the quantity. One day a medical student dropped into his office about the time the serenade began. "I'd give § 5 to shut off that infer nal noise , " said the doctor. "You can do it for loss than that. " said the student. "Why don't you entice them into your back yara some time when old Ruff is down town , catch them and cut their vocal chords ? " "By Jove ! That's the thing. Come around to-morrow at eleven o'clock and assist me in the operation. " The next day at the appointed hour the student was in the office on time ; so were the roosters. Within two minutes one vocal chord of each chicken was cut and then the i birds were tossed over the fence to their home. At noon the owner came i | out on his porch for his daily amuse ? ment. Whiteand thestudentwiitehed i him through a crack in the fence. lie lifted his hand and the little squall- J1 ers reared back and went through the motions , but did not utter a sound. The hanker lifted his hand again , with the same result. He went out into thpyard and walked around his pets , but hf couldn't see anything wrong. Then he called his wife and the two made a critical examination. He made them go through their pantomime for an hour and got dis- "sted. He tried it every day for a week and then killed the roostersand ate them. "When he found 0:11 six months afterwards \\hafc Whit- had lone he bought two large donkey- voiced parrots , trained them losav Dr. White" and -White is aii ass" and hung their cages in his buck jorch.
