one with water, slightly colored with cof.
fee, so it resembled ordinary "commissary;'
and with both canteens in oue hand ha.
presented himself at the "counter" of the
sutler, and with the air of a "man of
means," demanded a canteen of whisky.
The sutler of course fills the canteen and
passes it to him expecting in return a ss_.
greenback.

like to trust me,"—said the poldier.,

the whisky, for I ain't got a cent," said
the soldier in a mournful tone' at the seine
time handing him the canteen containing'
the( colored water.
"All right," responded the sutler, who
was glad to get rid of a customer witbout
money, and taking the canteen of water

made, as he thought, a "right smart" ex.
