It straightened him up quickly, and I think he calculated at first to fight : but when he turned round and saw who it was, I guess he thought I did not know any better, so he contented himself by calling me an old villain, and not thinking of anything else mean enough, he called me 'old Jeff Davis,' a nom de plume I had to wear ever after; and I think I got off lucky at that."

Later he went to Maine, and again enlisted, though not yet of age, and thus began his service in the Battery, which was then on the field. HIe relates this incident of his army life: " Comrade MeDaniel was sick at one time and I took care of him. He wanted some milk very badly, and I was bound to get it for him. I went out, and seeing a cow, I drove her into a mud hole so she could not get out, and there milked her, getting two cans full. I shall never forget what a thankful boy he was as he drank that milk."

He relates the following incidents of his army life : "During my stay in the army, I drove the pole team on the sixth detach- ment gun. Many were the long, weary marches which we had, and well I remember two or three in which I was so tired and sleepy that I fell from my horse, but I no sooner struck the ground than I was back again. I remember that at the battle of Cold Harbor, while I was going to the rear for ammunition, on turning a corner my gun-carriage upset and threw me about fifteen feet into the woods. It took me some time to right up my horses ; and during all this time I was a good mark for the · Rebs.' This was only one of the many narrow chances that I had during my army life. Still they were not all dark days with me ; and I well remember some of the good times we used to have. Like many of my comrades, I was blessed with a good appetite. I was always a good friend with the Captain's cook, who used to give me a plate of beans and a biscuit occasionally. One night I was put on guard over the beans; and when the cook uncovered the bean oven on the next morning, he was surprised on finding it empty ; for he had put great trust in his guard."
P. S. Comrade Kenney forgot to state how he borrowed the whiskey in about the same way he did the beans; so we won't mention it. - Historian.
