H in Inn at tho placo now known as
H Stockton Springs. Tho old squlro kopt
B (ood old Mcdford, forty years old, and

H Inspiring bovorago Mr. I'lcrco had his
H bursa brought uround, and whllo wait-
R Ing for him walked over to a willow

H During tho slogo of Mafoking ono
Hj of tho ofllcors organlzod a concert, or
H "singsong." to keep up tho spirits ot
H tho men. Ho discovered, according to
1 tho story as it Is told In "V. C," that

B Highlanders who was a good per
k formor, ho asked the man to contrlb
j ! uto to tho concert. "I'm sorry, air. but
I I cannot." "Why?" asked tho offlccr.
HJ "You play somo Instrument, don'l

Tho house could bo moro readily

north wall, nnd tho spaco wasted by
tlio passngowny would bo of uso to
tho fowls.
Tho partition between tho pons
