Col. Sam’s Holiday. 
IN our engineer corps was Col. Sam H., a very 
modest and refined gentleman of Irish persua- 
sion, and possessing considerable ability, but so 
much addicted to the “rosy,” that he frequently 
found himself on the supernumerary list. He 
was acting in the capacity of draftsman, in which 
department he possessed considerable skill. Col. 
Sam- stood patiently at his drawing-board from 
morning till night day after day. On one occa- 
sion, being invited by some gentlemen to join 
them the following morning on a fishing expedi- 
tion, I thought I would give Col. Sam a holiday, 
so I asked him to take a seat in my buggy. He 
gladly accepted, as he had not had a smell of the 
woods for some months. We started at daybreak, 
and having driven some six miles from the town 
of Monroe, La., to the banks of a pretty stream 
in a swamp, the party of six or eight bivouacked 
for breakfast. Having built a fire, boiled a coffee 
pot, and broiled over our cold meats of various 
kinds, we ate our breakfast with keen relish, and 
then prepared for fishing, 
I had provided a fishing line for Col. Sam, and 
when all were busy in preparations I produced it 
and handed it to him. Now Col. Sam had prob- 
ably never cast a hook in water in his life, nor 
pulled a trigger. He gazed at the line in embar- 
rassed surprise, then exclaimed: ‘““Me feesh! I— 
ah—I left me glarsses. I carn’t see to bait me 
ho-o-o-k!’ So Col. Sam loitered about the woods 
until noon, when the party assembled at the 
camp-fire with a goodly store of black bass, 
goggle-eye, bream and jackfish, wriggling fresh 
from the water. They were soon transferred 
from their native element to hot lard in a frying 
pan, when their bright and glistening skins speed- 
ily became crisp and brown. Then Col. Sam ex- 
hibited his prowess as a fisherman in a manner 
to excite the envy of all dyspeptics. We con- 
tinued our sport in the afternoon until the gath- 
ering gloom in the swamp admonished us to get 
out to the “big road” before it became too dark. 
Then hitching up our “teams” we rattled back to 
town in merry mood, This was the first and only 
time that Col. Sam ever essayed to play fisher- 
man, CoAHOMA.
