STORIES IN PASSING.
Out at the encampment at the fair
grounds this week, they were holding a
reunion of the veterans who bad served
in the regiments tf Wisconsin. There
were but a few of them not over forty
in all- but forty ni'n resemblicg each
other in only one respect, and that their
age. The Iccks of all were gray. Tho
winds that blew over the prairie unceas
ing bad bronzed their cheeks to a ruddy
glow. Baldness had come to eome and
the awkwardness of age. He was evi
dently a strarger to the line, as all eyes
wero turned upon him with tho eager
interest of a now acquisition to their
numbeis. One man especially -bo who
btoodnoxt in lino to tho little old man
gave a start as the name was called,
and then gazed in a strange way at the
st i anger.
"William J. Phillips, .T2d Wisconsin
infantry," called the officer, and the
stranger gave way to the next in line, he
who had stood dazed and overcome at
tho first name, it was now tho former's
turn to gaze in amazement as another
of the sumo name, a stout, heavy-set
man, with sido whiskers, and blue eyes,
- stepped forward and saluted.
As thn officer called the next name,
the heavy-sat man turned back and met
tho stranger's eyes.
"Sam!"
"Hill!"
Then there was a little commotion at
that point of the line which broke up
the Wisconsin reunion for tho time
being. For after thirty years of silence
