THt LAND OF "PRETTY 800N."
I know of land where the streets are paved
With the thing whloh ra meant to achieve.
It la walled with tbe money wa meant to have

And the nlraanrei for whloh wa grieve.
The kind wonle unspoken, the promtaoe broken
And many a coveted boon
Are atuwvd away there In that land tatne-
where
, The land of "Pretty Boon,"
There are uncut jewels of poaelbla fame
Lying a boat In the dart,
And many a noble and lofty aim

And. oh, thta placw, while It aeeraa as M

The land of "Pretty Boon."
The mad that lead to that myitis land

"Captain, who wm the best soldier
you ever knew F"
This question wm propounded recent
ly to Captain BronauRh, the present
oral oil inspector of St Louis and a man
who has seen enough of war to make
his judgment in regard toaoldiera worth
something
"Well, I hardly know," wm there
ply, "bnt I can tell yon very easily who
wm the best fighter 1 ever knew.
"What's the difference?"
"There's a great deal of difference.
To be a good soldier one most have
courage, patience and endurance, disci
pline und a grea many other things. To
be a good fighter one only needs to have
plenty of the devil in him. I can t say
in regard to the best soldier, bnt the
best fighter I ever knew was undoubted
ly a man named Jones. I have no idea
what his first name really was, bnt our
men all called him Brain, for reasons
that 1 think yon can guess when you
hear the story. He wm a member of my
company, bnt I have no recollection of
- how or when be Joined ns. The first
day I remember ever to have seen him
wm the 15th of August. 1863, Just the
day before the awful fight at Lone
Jack. "
It seems that on that date all the com
panies in Lewis' regiment were reor
ganized, and that the voting for officers
wm all done by ballot w hen it came
to Bronangh's company, every vote read
wm cast fur him for captain, except the
last one. To the surprise of every one,
the last vote wm called out in stentorian
tones:
' "The devil!"
At the announcement of this unex
pneted vote the men stared around at
each other in amazement
"Say," remarked the wit of the com
pany at last, "that fellow onght to have
better manners than vote for himself.
In the laugh that followed all the
company joined, except Jones. He stood
stiff m a ramrod, with a countenance
like that of Mephistopheles, until the
laugh had subsided, and then he re
marked:
" He voted for a blamed sight better
man than Bronangh, anyway.
1 think that the reader will concede
that when the captain compliments Mr.
Jones' fighting qualities it is not be
cause of any special personal friendship
for him. He was a man of about 80 years
of age, below medium height, slender,
.. clean shaven, dark coniploxion, and was
very mnch like a hawk in the keenness
of bis eyes, the curvature of his nose.
the mnsicahiess of his voice and the
general amiability of his disposition.
The captain sums up the case by saying :
"He wm soared on the world and all
the rest of mankind. "
He wm never known to agree with
. anybody on any subject that could be
mentioned. The nearest he ever came to
it wm one day in camp, when the sol
diers happened to be discussing the char
acter of Abraham Lincoln, and one of
them forcibly expressed the opinion that
he was the greatest scoundrel that ever
lived. -
"Yes I" exclaimed Jones, with a pro
fusion of land language. "There's only
. one more contemptible hound in the
universe than Lincoln."
"Who's bef" -"Jeff
Davis." be replied, with all the
withering contempt he could crowd into
the words Front this speech it may be
imagined that while Air. Jones hated
the Union he did not adore the Confed
eracy The boys in camp suggested that
be wore the gray merely because he had
more men to shoot at than if he wore
the blue There wm no duty too hard
for him, no uight too cold or rainy for
him to Htand guard, no fight too danger
on for bini. provided only be waa al
lowed to have bis fill of profanity and
abune for the world in general. Once
when it wm hinted that the artillery
wa not strong enough to dislodge a cer
tain buttery belonging to the enemy,
tome one suggested :
"Put old Jones np In front and let
him curs at 'em. If that don't clean 'em
out, there's no nse to try bombshells. "
He would not only curse the Federals,
but the Confederates also, the officers u
well m the men. Several times he was
: known to knock his messmate down with
the flat side of a spade, and then if he
wm so inconsiderate as to remonstrate
- to threaten him with the edge. Owing
to such traits in him m these, the men
gradually grew unwilling to eat with
hint, so that for moutlis he wm a veri
table hermit, thongh surrounded by men.
Mo one spoke to him or had anything of
any kind to do with him when it oonld
in any way be avoided, and this seemed
to be exactly what he wanted.. About
this time he wm nicknamed "Bruin,"
not ouly ou account of his bear like tem
per, bnt also because the solitary figure,
squatting about by his campfiro, eating
his own food and holding converse with
no one wm very much like; that of a
'1 .bear caged by itself to prevent it from
injuring anything.
lit this way things worked tolerably
smoothly for awhile, bat before long
Captain Brouaugh and his men decided
that if it oonld be done they would like
very much to get Bruin transferred to
some other company. There were just
two difficulties in the way of this. In
the first place, no captain who knew
him very well would consent to take
him, and, in the second place, if Brain
knew that Bronangh and hia men did
not want him he would Insist most
strenuously on staying. Both these diffi
culties were circumvented by little
strategy. In the company of Captain
Boles there wm a man named Eph Goff, j
a Hsury county man, a brave soldier j
and an ardent friend of Brouaugh. He :
is at present living on his farm near
Clinton and is said to be as rollicksome
and m fond of his Joke now m he was
then. One day Bronangh approached ,
Bolos, explained the situation and asked
that Ooff be transferred to his company.
"All right," said Captain Boles.
"Who can you give me in his place?" "
"Well I've got man named Jones
yon can have. "
"Is he a good soldier?"
"The beet fighter I ever saw. "
"Done," said Captain Boles, and that
part of the matter wm settled. The only
thing now remaining was to get Brain's
consent to be transferred, and this wm
done in the following manner:
Mr. Jones," said Captain Bronangh
one day, "1 understand yon are trying
to get out of my company and into Cap
tain Boles'. I want yon to understand.
sir, that I don't propose to permit yon to
do anything of the kind. If any officer
has got to be losing his men for every
little fool reason that may come up.
there 'd Just m well not be any officer at
all."
Bruin looked a little dazed at this
statement of the case, and then remark
ed that he'd be dash blank dashed if he
would stay in any such double dashed
company any more just see if he would I
In this manner his consent wm won, and
the next day he applied to Captain Boles
far a transfer. The application should
have been sent to certain superior officers,
bnt Captain Bronangh was unwilling for i
this to be done, for fear he might lose !
his trade.
"No nse to bother Colonel Lewis about
a little thing like that." he said to
Boles. "Just let's wait till the thing
hM about had time to go through the
rounds and then Just swap the men onr-
elves."
Accordingly, some two weeks later,
Brain wm informed that his transfer
had been granted, the two captains ex
changed the names and the trade was
settled. '
The next time the two captains met
m several months later in Bonier par
ish, Louisiana, and shall I confess it
at a dance. If this statement should
meet the eyes of any of his church offi
cials, they are respectfully requested not
to turn him out on account of it The
offense wm committed over SO years
ago, and I do not really think he makes
a practice of dancing today. However,
he and Boles were both on the floor and
dancing, when the latter exclaimed :
Say, Bronangh, I ve got a crow to
pick with yon." 1
What is it?" : I
Ton remember that fellow Jones
yon traded off on me? What did yon
mean by telling me he wm a good sol
dier?"
I never said it. Boles. I said he wm
the best fighter I ever saw. " )
"Oh, that wm it, wm it? I believe
yon were right about it too. He's whip
ped every private in my company al
ready, and they say he is going to begin
on the officers next There's no discount
on his being a fighter. " I
The last tune Captain Bronangh ever
saw Brain wm in the hospital at Mem- 1
phis. The first face he noticed when be
entered the ward wm his, and it wm
pale and still as death. Hoping to be of
some service to one of his former men,
the captain stood at the bedside for a
moment Jnst then the closed eyes open
ed, the face lighted up with its old ex
pression, and in the half stifled accents
of death the old stream of profanity be
gan to flow. Brain wm Bruin to the
last
Hundreds of old Confederate soldiers
in Missouri will recall poor Bruin with
a glimmer about the eyes that is half a
smile and half a tear. Nobody knows
what his first name really wm ; nobody
ever knew where he came from. It used
to be asserted that he was from Arkan
sas, bnt perhaps this wm merely from a
humorous desire to lower the reputation
of that state.

More than 100 years afterward Allan
Cunningham tells this story of Robert
Barns. Strolling one day in Cumber
land, the poet lost his frieuds, and think
ing to find them at a certain tavern he
popped his head in at the door. Seeing
no one there but three strangers, he
apologized and wm about to retire when
one of the strangers called out, "Come
in, Johnny Peep. " This invitation the
convivial poet readily accepted and
spent a very pleasant time with his
newly found companions. As the con
versation began to flag it was proposed
that each should write a verse and plaoe
it together with two and six under the
candlestick, the best poet to take the
half crowns, while the unsuccessful
rhymers were to settle the bill among
them. According to Cunningham, Barns
obtained the stakes by writing:
Here am 1, Johnny Peep;
, I aaw three sheep.
And thean throe sheep saw ma.
Half a crown apiece
Will pay for their floeo.
And ao Johnny Peep goes free.

But any man who is sincere and ear

He can learn to ascertain the truth. He

As bunting is the medium through
which a ship ordinarily commnuioates
with the outside world," he says, "so
the bell is that through which she ad
dresses herself to those aboard, and
which in all the navies of the world
rings forth the hours, summons to wor
ship and peals tho danger signals.
"Every landsman has probably learn
ed and forgotten the motlxxt of striking
the hour aboard ship, but the dnlksl
may make sure of this knowledge fur
tbe rest of bis life by Betting two or
three things clear in his head. The
nautical day brgius and ends at noon,
when eight bolls is struck. Tbe bell is
struck half hunrly day and night, one
stroke beiDg added for every half hour.
uutil eight is reached, when the count
begins again at one bell
"Thus the hours aro ludic.irod In every
navy of tbe civilized world, except the
British. Here there is a curious devia
tion from tbe ordinary naval method of
indicating the hour.
"In the matter of the bell there is in
the United States navy a routine long es
tablished by precedent. The bell. uu-
lly a small affair, of rather high, light
tone, hangs either Just forward or iuet
baft of the forennibt. on or nnder the
forecastle, Tbe captain's orderly keeps
the time a:id reports to tho officer of the
deck the hour in terms of bells. The offi
cer of the dock then bids the messenger
of the watch to strike the bell
"There is somewhat more formality
at eight bells than at other times, for
then the hour is reported tothecaptain,
and the bell is not strnck until he has
said, 'Make it go.'
"Here is the routine at 8 a. m.: The
orderly says to the officer of the deck,
Eight bells, sir.' The officer of the deck
replies, 'Report to tho captain eight'
bells and chronometers wound, sir. ' The
orderly then goes to tho captain and
says, 'Eight bells and chronometers
wound, sir.' The captain, if he be to
minded, replies: 'Very well Make it
The orderly returns to the officer of
the deck' and Bays, 'Make it so.' The
officer of the deck says to the messenger
the watch, 'Strike eight bolls,' and
if everybody has been prompt the mes
senger strikes eight bells at exactly 8
a. m.
"Nobody knows whether it would be
eight bells if tbe dignified captain should
take it into his head to withhold bis
majestic 'Make it to, ' for an American
naval captain is so powerful a person
aboard ship and routine hM so powerful
hold ou the navy that perhaps the
captain, if so minded, might put the
nautical day oat of Joint
"When ships are cruising in tqnadron,
the entire fleet, lying in port, awaits
the flagnbip's bells. On all the other
ships the messenger stands by the bell,
clapper in baid, and as soon as the bell
hM sounded the bells throughout tbe
fleet are sounded. Lying, as they are,
quite close together, the effect is interest
ing and agreeable.
"The flagship also gives ont the time
to the other vessels every morning.
Shortly before seven bells, at 7:80
o'clock a. m. , a time signal is displayed
by the flagship. At exactly 7 :80 this
signal drops, the clocks on all the ships
are set,and seven bells is struck through
out the fleet
"The ship's bell serves not only to in
dicate the boors, but to signal a variety
of other things. When the ship carries
chaplain, the bell is tolled for service
on Sunday morning. The bell, however,
it not tolled at funerals. With a nice
sense of propriety the navy regulations
provide for the mere passing of tbe
word, 'AH hands bury the dead. ' In all
matters pertaining to death the navy is
distinguished for delicacy and a touch of
old fashioned sentiment, to be expected
of men who, in theory at leant, are sup
posed to be risking their lives in the
service of others.
The bell is also the fire signaL When
fire it discovered aboard ship, tbe bell
is rang rapidly, and tbe ship's company
responds with the proper appliances for
patting ont the fire. When a ship is in
action, however, the bell is not used at
a fire signal lest the knowledge that
there it a fire aboard ship throw the crew
into panio and distract them from their
business of fighting. A fire during ac

"Tbe provisions of the United States
navy make it impossible that tbe various
signals of the bells shall be confused
one with another. The tolling for

single interval, cannot be mistaken for
the rapid. and irregular fire alarm, nor
