A Deserter
By EDWARD B. TAPPAN
Copyright by American Pra Aim
ciutlon, Mil.
Oue.moruliig lu lsttf, when the Con
federate and Federal forces were light
ing In Virginia, a rawboned man la
butternut entered the tamp of a regi
ment of Tennesseeaus and said to an
officer be met:
"Cap", when you una goln' to fight
the Yankees ?"
The officer was passing on when the
man in butternut called to hlin.
"Say, cap! I want to enlist."
"Who are you, au4 where do you
come from?" asked the officer, molli
fied at the prospect of a recruit.
"I'm Ben IUggs, and I hall from
Tennessee."
"Tennessee? This regiment la from
Tennessee.
"Waal, thar's whar I ball from. Borne
Union men drlv' me out. I come over the
mountings fo' to Jlue this yere army."
Rlggs was enlisted and turned over
to a drlllmaster. After three days'
bard drilling the tergeant went to the
captain and reported that It was sim
ply Impossible to teach the Tenuessee
an the manual of arms. When be bad
taught htm a movement the recruit
would forget It while he was teaching
second one. He seemed to be anxious
to become a soldier, but had no ca
pacity to learn anything. The sergeant
wan told to do the best he could with
him and turn him Into the ranks for
service.
The first night Rlggs was sent out on
picket be fired his gun and came run
ning In full tilt, alarming the whole
picket line. Supposing him to be a
coward as well as stupid, at the next
brush be was put lu the front rank,
but he stood up well, proving conclu
sively that he was simply stupid.
Rlggs' stupidity was of the kind to
cause trouble. lie went one day to the
brigade commander and asked him If
he bad any tobacco. The general sent
him with a 'note to his captain, order
ing the officer lu future to keep "thia
fool away from these headquarters."
This mortified the captain, and he put
Rlggs In the guardhouse. The colonel,
hearing of the episode, directed the
captain to release Rlggs, since there
could be no criminality attached to
the act of a "blamed fool."
After this the captain spent most of
his time thinking how he could get rid
of Rlggs. He tried surreptitiously to
have him transferred to another com
pany, but the plot was discovered and
failed. No other company would have
him. Then one day Rlggs met the di
vision commander and told him he
thought he would like a position on his
staff. lie was sent back with a repri
mand for his captain for not better
Instructing bis men In the proper rela
tion of a soldier to his commander.
The captain now vowed he would
get rid of Rlggs If he had to shoot
him. 'Whenever there was a fight he
put Rlggs right In the middle of It,
but somehow the stupid fellow es
caped, while the best men were being
shot down. After a week's exposure
of Rlggs the fighting suddenly ceased.
Then no sooner had Rlggs got him
self furbished up than there was to
be a grand review, at which be placed
his captain again in trouble. Passing
the reviewing officer, he swung his
gun In the nir and sang out:
"Three cheers for General CI"
Rlggs' captain was desperate. He
formed a malicious resolve. lie would
put the fool In the position of a de
serter nnd get him shot lie told Rlggs
one morning that the Yankees were
offering bounties as blgh as a thousand
dollars to any one who would enlist
It might be a good move for Rlggs to
desert, go over to the Yankees, enlist
and bring back the bounty.
"By Jlng," exclaimed the dunce, "that
'ud be a good idee! I could set the
hull company up with that."
The captain offered to connive at his
desertion. He took Rlggs out on the
picket line and told him to run for It.
The eaptuln had arranged that the de
serter must pass through a narrow de
file between two low hills, at the far
ther end of which were posted two
men who had been Instructed to arrest
Rlggs and bring him back to camp.
Ills trial and execution would speedily
follow.
Rlggs triangulated his long legs so
rapidly that when he met the men who
were to HTrest him somehow he couldn't
stop. They attempted to head him off,
but he had got by thera before they
renehed his path. They fired at him.
whereupon he turned, shot one with
his musket nnd the other with his re
volver nnd sped on. If he was stupid
he was certainly quick, but quick for
the first time lu his life.
"Well." siiid his captain. "I'm rid of
him, though I fear he's renlly fool
enough to come back. However, If he
does he'll be shot for desertion."
Rut Rlggs never returned. On reach
ing the Feder.il pickets he asked to be
fnken nt once to the headquarters of a
pertain general.
"Hello. Raker!" exclaimed the gen-
rnl. "You back! I thought you'd
got yourself hanged by this time.
Hope you've p't a lot of Information."
'I have, general. I enlisted In the
rebel nrniy n n Tennesseenn I didn't
say from east Tennessee and rroved j
10 stupid that they wouldn't keep me."
"Well, what are they doing over
fhere?" asked the general.
"Stotiewnll .Tnckson has been with
drawn from the Shenandonh valley
and Is man hlng townrd Richmond. I
What he will do there I couldn't find j
out. but nil the scattered forces are !
ordered to J ln I.ee, and It looks as If
there was to !e a concentrated attack i
on McClellnn."
"tocl for you!" said the general.
LIVE WIRE GLASS
SOCIALJUNCTION
The Live Wire lilble (lass of Valley
Christian church held another one of
Its six-lal functions Wednesday even
ing, at the church, and though the
busy time Is on now, the attendance
was tine. The event was successful,
and was pronounced one of the most
profitable gatherings the class has
ever bad. Mr. Peart, the teacher,
atted as master of ceremonies, anil
addresses were made by the follow
ing members:
"The growth of the class" Mr.
Peart.
'Possibilities of the class" Mr.
Kobblns.
"Personnel of the class" Mr.
Myers.
"My opinion of the class" Mr.
Shoemaker.
"The clans as a source of knowl
edge" Mr. Murphy.
"Duty of each member" Mr.
Smith.
"How to raise money for the
class" Mr. Nesblt.
"The sunny side of the class" Mr.
Jinks.
These addresses were all to the
point and were greatly applauded
There was no uncertain sound In
any of them. The class seemed to be
all In all to those present. It Is a
remarkable thing how the class has
wormed Its way Into so many
hearts. The size of the class, the
grade of the people who come to It,
the hold It has on them, nnd their
unbounded praise of It, seems more
like a dreum than a reality. When
the writer of this article looks Into
tne faces of so ninny Intelligent men
and women and knows that many
of them have not been In a Bible
class for yenrs, there U but one con
elusion, namely, nothing Is Impos
sible. Prof. Wm. Auhagen, one of the
scholars of the country, was present
at the gathering and expressed a
wish to become n melulier, seeing he
was of age. He was accepted. No
person who Is under twenty-one can
be admitted.
The class has Is-come dear to many
of lu members and they look for
ward to Sunday morning with Joy.
ful anticipation. To see strong
minded men ami women, with mime
frost In their hair, making their way
to the meeting place of the class with
Bible In hand, gives one a feeling not
easily expressed. The writer won
ders how nil this has ever come to
pass and Just what the end will is?.
What has been and what Is the at
traction? In what particular thing
Is the magnet located? There Is
something pulling the people. Who
will answer what It Is? The class
has Is-eii In existence for six mouths,
so It cannot be its newness. This Is
no circus performance, no vaudeville,
no music, vocal or Instrumental,
The class Is quiet and dignified, their
attentlou perfect. Not one moment
Is spent upon any outside matter,
not so much as a whisper upou any
thing else. The lesson Is the one
topic. The class begins on the dot
of time and goes through the full
limit of the hour's study.
Perhaps one reason that makes
the class such an attraction is that
the studies have been along advanced
lines, and historical criticism has
played an Important purt In the dis
cussion of the lessons. Persous who
come with a disposition to learn
never go away empty handed. Per
sous who do not attend, and think
we are learning only a few thlugs
about the Bible, are laboring under a
false Impression. The teaching of
the class takes la a much wider com
pass than that. The writer Is at a
loss to know where a person could
put In a more pleasant nnd profitable
hour than at the Live Wire class,
which meets every Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock sharp.
Of course Nome things taught In
the class do not please everybody,
esechilly those who are sadly nf
tl let ci I with ancestral rheumatism
Christ made little Impression upon
those who said: "We have Abraham
for our father;" and "Art thou great
er than our father, Jacob?" Now It
was the great teacher who said: "11
the truth shall make ye free, ye shall
13 free Indeed."
The Live Wire Bible clasw In In
search of truth, and the prayer ol
this scrtlie Is: "Lord, give u great
success."
