But how many of their auditors know that these four singers W. N. Morse. rr. J. K Ttall. A. W. Mills and Dr. Z. M. Parvln sing In the Veterans' Male Quartet as Grand Army men? The military experiences of rurh vet erans In the Civil War make a notable and Interesting chapter, and at more tnan one recent rehearsal they stopped vocalising long enough to talk over old days from 161 to 1J45. when each sing er was a soldier In the Federal Army Ir. Morse enlisted from I .a Salle County. Illinois. In Company A of Yates' sharpshooters, which was afterward re organised aa a battalion of six com panlea. becoming the 64th Illinois Vol unteer Infantry." says the historian of tne Quartet. "In the Winter of 1861-62. the Mississippi River was froaen over from Cairo north, so that footmen and team could cross It anywhere. The City of Qulncy. 111., by Its Mayor and council requested protection from rebel guerilla raids, and the sharpshooters were sent from Camp Butler to Qulncy, remaining until February. 1M2. Since this time Dr. Parvln and Mr. Morse be came acquainted. They sang together. The latter sang In a Methodist choir and Dr. Parvln In the Presbyterian Church choir. "The firearms of the Confederates were better than those of the Federals. The Confederates had the English En- rield ririe. while the Federals bad the Springfield, but the sharpshooters for tunately were armed with the Windsor Vermont rifle with the raised sights. The latter rifles were effective for the longest distance known at that time. The battalion was ordered south at Cairo, stopped for practice with Ita ong rangle rifles and marched from Cairo through Eastern Missouri to New Msdrld. Here Mr. Morse and Dr. Parvln bad some taste of the war. The mortar nd -Iron-clad gunboat fleet, and Pope's army had orders to capture Island No. 0. and Morse and Farrtn had their turn standing guard on cypress roots, with four feet of water running over them. The island was raptured with 7000 pris oners. Morse and Parvln were together L-lth their regiment until the battle of Inka. Miss. Parvln's last work on guard was two nights before that bat tle.

He was saved by coming close and giving the countersign. Parvln thinks he was right In disobeying or ders that time. The battle of Corinth was hard on the sharpshooters on account' of their position aa skirmishers. Price's and Van Dorn'a legions were moving over them when General Grant saw from Fort Roblnet troops firing at a certain thicket, and he ordered the guns to change direction. The sharpshooters, out of 240 men. lost about 70 before they could fall back to the Union lines In safety. Purvln was discharged on account of sickness. NJorse was with Sherman to Atlanta. His regiment waji then armed with the Martini-Henri rifle and the latter was a great factor In the defeat of General Hood at Atlanta.

Mr. Mills' regiment waa with Thomas' Army of the Cumberland. Cox' corps, and with Sherman from Chattanooga to Atlanta While Sherman marched through Geor gia the Army of the Cumberland took care of Hood's Confederate army.
