"fooling General Sherman.' * About six miles out of Savannah, 1 came across a farmer who accepted a plug ot tobacco, and was ready to sit down en a log and aaswer all questions When 1 asked him about Sherman's approach, he burst into a loud laugh and slapped his leg, and was so tickled that he did not ealm down for two minutes. "Excuse me, stranger,n he Anally said, "but whenever I think of how I fooled Gineral Sherman It tickles me all over." "Did yoo fool hint* ••Wall, I rather reckon.** "How?" "Wail, you see, that's my place up thar' on the rise. When the war broke out I was tbe most cantankerous rebel you ever saw.

He knew I'd sword to t'ie before I'd surrender, and he cam* along down from Atlanta wlth^over 70,000 men to surround me. Mighty cute old maa,\ that Gineral Sherman!" '•Yes." , "Wall, they got here one night about ten o'clock. I reckon that nigh onto 30,000oT them surrounded my home up thar' aad called for me to come oat and surrender and end the war." "And of course yea did?" "And of course I di<fnt! That's what* the fun comes In. I was'nt home at all,but was down in Vaglnny with Lee, They entered the house and sarched and sarched, and went to the barn and called and called, and when the old woman finally told 'em I was'nt home they was the maddest orowd yon ever sot eyes on. They had hoofed It all tbe way from Atlanta to git their pawaon me, and had had their long tnareli for nothing! I expect Sherman was ready to bust with madness, and I reckon he wou't never forgive ma. It tickles me, and you'd better come up to the house and hear her tell what them 70,000 Yankees said when they got here and found me goae." .Wanted to IM Posted. At the second battle of Ball Ran a recruit who had just joined a New York regiment turned around upon his captain as an order was given, and asked: "Say. Cap, what are we going tedo now ?' "Move by the flank to tbe left of the regiment," was the reply. "All right--just as soon move as not." After the company had held Its new position for a quarter of aa hoar there came another order, and the recruit asked: "Say, Cap, which way Bowl1* > "Going to advance." < { "All right, I am with you.'* The company moved forward with the line and was presently hotly en­ gaged with Jackson's men. They bad not been at it over five minutes when the recruit slid up to the captain aad shouted: "Say, Cap. holler as loud aa yoa can and let.s see if I can hear you." "What In do you mean? Bade into that line with youPv shouted the offioer. 'All right, Cap--all right! The rea­ son I wanted you to holler was to see If 1 could hear your voice when you ordered a retreat!

Pemberton Square, room 1. and Is now ready for business. The office 1s In charge of Comrade E. C. Hapgood, of Post 148. of Brook- line, who hat been elected Superin­ tendent. Slnoe tbe office was opened, Nov. 1. up to Nov. IS there have been 98 ap­ plications from oomrades representing all branches of tbe service. While tbe greater part of the applications are ror employment, quite a number want assistance In obtaining pensions, bounties, certificates In lieu of dis­ charger, eta There have been three applications for admission to the Soldiers1 Home; a very few have ap­ plied for temporary assistance, which' has been supplied. An Interesting fact In connection with the working of the office is tbe age of the oomrades who apply for aid, which ranges from 38 to 63, forcing upon us the fact that the veterans are growing old, and that many In the near future will be en­ tirely unable to provide fer them-* selves, and that something mast be done In that direction by the General Government. The Treasurer Is happy to acknowledge the receipt of 950 from Col. Albert A. Pope, of tbe Pope Manufacturing Company, for the fund of tbe association, and it Is confidently expected that those who remember the veteran "for what he was and all he dared," will follow tbe Colonel's example. The Treasurer Is Comrade J. Edwin Hunt,. City Hall Boston. There can be no doubt that tbe estab­ lishment of this bureiu by the Depart­ ment of Massachusetts Is one of the most Important steps ever taken by the G« A. K., it it will ue able to supply a want which is now being felt and which will grow upon us a« thfl years roll on,--National Tribune.
