IMAGINATION SOMETIMES KILLS.

In my opinion," remarked the college pro- fosaor, who rose from the ranks during the last war to the position of Colonel, the Imagination of-men does more in jney to the canso of courage than all appliances of war yet discovered. I had In remarkable case happen to me during the bat tles around Richmond. That is to say, it hap peaed to another man, but I was part of it. It was on a skirmish fine, and I was lying behind a log with two other mea-I was only a private then-one of whom was on inveterate joker and the other was one of the imaginative kind of soldiers. In fact, he was so imagins. tiva that he was almost scared out of his wits, and when the ballots and shella bogad ring through the woods, cutting off saplings, olip ping limbs all around us, and barking the top of the log behind which we lay, I thought th fellow would buret a blood vessel, or go crazy,, or do some other fool thing unbecoming a soldier. Toz, the joker, noticed the maE'S terror, and called attention to it.

Then he reached out and dragged in stick out from the truss above us by a ballet, d. Gring a pin in it, proceeded to have his fun. The man was at the fur sud of our log, jeg feet from Tom, and I was just beyond Tom on "the other side, and, l'arm free to confess, w

norvous though to wonder at Tom's manner at such a time. However, Temaldn't help watch. ing his movesets, and actually laughed to see. him sliding the pin-pointed stick along toward the auspoting victim. Having got it at the right distance he waited for smashing volley of bullets, and just as it came ho pročist the soldier in the back with the pin. Well, it was really funny to see, the chap jump and yell and roll over, and we both fairly kowled But it wasn't so funny whon "the mao didn't move after his firat startlet action, tuul Tom looked around at me in a seared kind of way. His surprise found ex- pression in an qutil, and he called again with The Katze rezult. Thou he crept over to him and gave him a shake. That brought no re- spouse eitbar, and Tom drogged him around so that he could see his face. It was an ashly blas, with the eyes staring wide upon, and the un vas ne dead as Julius Cayar, with never, a mark on him are, perhaps, that one pin scratch in his back. Washington Star.
