THE BLUE AND GRAY
An Incident of the Confederate Re
union at Dallas, Tex.
"Right after the. reunion of confederate
veterans at Dallas, Tex., I witnessed a
rather comical, and yet a rather pathet
ic thing bu one of the trains which pulled
out of the city on the day after the, "cele
bration had closed," said a visitor from
Texas in the New Orleans Time-Democrat
' "All the coaches were jammed to
the windows. Men and women were even
packed Into the aisles, and there was of
course a heavy sprinkling ot the old fel
lows In gray uniform. When, night came
on the veterans began to make them
selves as comfortable as possible, many
of them pulling off their coats and shoes.
It was some time after midnight when a
gray bearded and stooped man roused
from Ills sleep" and began to look around
for his shoes. He did not have on tne
uniform of the confederacy, and had not
been to the Dallas reunion.
"Up and down the coach he went in his
sock feet, looking for his shoes, but it
was to no purpose. He was about to de
spair, wHen a. young gentleman, who oc
cupied a seat near him, remarked that
he had seen an old gentleman take a pafar
of shoes from about that place In the
aisle, and suggested that he bad prob
ably gotten hold of the wrong shoes. He
said further he thought he could Identify
the man. Forthwith they Went in search
of the man who was supposed to have
gotten the shoes.
"Theyfouud "him. He was a grissled
old confederate, and he, too, had been
playing In bad luck so far as his shoes
were concerned. 'Pardner.' said the old
n.an who was not uniformed, 'you've got
my ahfes' sho's yo' born,' and sure
enojtgh, on closer examination, the oldl
(nieueraie soiuier iqudq mat n nwi
-miade a mistake, and he proceeded to un-
sheath his feet. He handed the old fellow
his shoes, and began to pace up and
down the coaches again, In his old, white,
home-made yarn socks, looking for his
shoes.
"The man who had recovered his shoes
became reflective. 'These coaches, air aH
filled plum utff-wttft rebels, he said, 'an'
most of 'em hays their shoes off, an' It
looks awful funny to me that my shoes
should be picked out when they ain't as
line as some of the other shoos. Of
course It's jest a mistake, a kinder curi
ous caper of fate. I guess, that an old
rebel should ' look over the shoes of his
comrades, an' jest by accident take a
pair that belongs to a feller on the other
side."
"And the old fellow, who was on the
way to the G. A. R. encampment, lapsed
Into silence. A little later, when he saw
the old confederate soldier, still in his
sock feet, hobbling across the platform at
the station where he had to change cars,
he straightened up, his eyes moistened
and glistened, and he said, with Infinite
pathos: 'I guess ain't as good a soldier
as I used to be, for in the sixties I guess
Ida seen my right arm cut off plum up
to the shoulder before I'd a made that
old fellow give up them shoes if they
