R. man in the county. The first G. A. R. poet in the county was organized at Wauconda, and Mr. Cook was elected its command­ er. In all of the years which have gone since,|he has missed but three meetings of his post, and it meets twiee a month. Who can beat the record? The Woman's Relief Corps, of Illinois, ausiSarj of the Grand Army of the Re­ public, has purchased the old Trobridge farm, near Wilmington, at a cost of f5,000, for a soldiers' home, for indigent soldiers and their wives. At the soldiers' home atQuincy the wives ot the veterans are not received, necessitating a sepa­ ration. LMve-Tftking at the Station. A sqnad of "soldier boys" were about to set off for the seat of war. At thesta- tion a large crowd of friends had gather­ ed and there was the usual amount of kissing, embracing and leave-taking. A loud voiced man was entertaining a group of ladies with his conversation, and he remarked, as one of the soldiers' sweet little wives was passing: "If I was going to the war, and any of my ( friends should come to the station to see me off,' I would shoot them." The little woman look up and very quietly said: "Ob, don't fret; yoa wouldn't have a chance to fire once." If one ever saw a man fish out of the raging canal alive--this fel­ low lookedifhe lik The Hajbr Must be Obeyed* A Maine soldier tells how he got a. tid­ bit while his regiment was marching along a hot and dusty road in Southern Pennsylvania. Orders were very strict against foraging, but in spite of them a soldier suddenly sprang out of the ranks in pursuit of a fat gobbler standing among the sumach bushes on the road­ side. The turkey started off in a hurry with the man after him. Major Brown called out angrily: "Halt! What do you mean ? Halt I" A few harried steps and the soldier had the turkey laid low with a blow from his rifle barrel. "There, dam ye," be exclaimed, as he picked it up; "I reckon you'll understand that when the major says 'halt* he means halt."' Nothing to Fight for. By the way of illustrating how "41m women of the Booth helped along the war," an officer describes a- scene of which he was an amused eye witness. A, gang of "Sherman's Bummers." he says, had captured a plantation on which were many hens and chickens, They wrung the necks of the chickens, and then proceeded to gather the eggs, all the while laughing at the angry lady of the house. Just then some Confederate cav­ alrymen came down on a charge. The Union boys retreated a short distance and made hurried preparations for the fight. The woman ran up to the Confederate officer in command, and declared that she wished to help whip the Yankees. Very, good," he said, "Get lip on the fence and holler at them." The woman, dead in earnest, 'mounted the fence, shook her fist and shouted: Ob, you miserable Yankees! You have taken every chicken on the place!" "What's that?" demanded the officer. Taken all the chickens?" Then there is nothing left worth fighting for. With that he rode away, leaving the woman on the top of the fence shaking her fist at the Yankees and calling them POUR BIG SUCCESSES.
